Cool.

I guess I’m saying folks who are interested in a console handheld are probably not also looking at the deck since it is literally a computer. I don’t disagree on the lack of first party and exclusives. I think they can make a great device, it’s just gonna have a huge lack of content much like the psvr2.

That being said I think there’s a chance they go the route of psvr2 and somehow make the handheld compatible with steam so they don’t have to curate a library given the high cost of game development these days.

This wouldn’t be a steam deck competitor. At least less directly than it is a switch competitor. And Sony tends to do hardware well, they just don’t have the best pricing track record as of late.

I’ve gotta disagree on BotW. I love Zelda games and the mechanics of that game were an amazing shift in the franchise. But that open world was so boring. The same like 4-5 enemies, even the harder variants didn’t have different movesets. TotK was even worse with the depths and a majority of sky islands being empty and devoid of content.

But the e gameplay is so fun it’s a lot easier to forgive them than say AC Odyssey.

I’m thinking like the dead space remake. Extra gory!

How about a dark gritty reboot of LttP?

“Mostly the same games” except for all the Nintendo IP. Most folks aren’t pirating games I’d imagine so they’re aren’t really the same libraries for the vast majority of consumers.

Ps5 pro, just got released. But it’s entirely too expensive for what its offering over base ps5, doesn’t have a disc reader, and while I love my base model there really aren’t that many games taking advantage of it so having to pay more for remastered last gen games doesn’t feel like a good value for most folks I’d imagine.

HIT? Hitler Is Toaster?

Looks great! What kinda difficulty would you say it is comparable to? I’ll try to play it after I’m done with black myth.

This would make me so happy

Definitely true. But I liked the renditions from the last two 3d games before BOTW. It’s just the gameplay that was rough in those. The next round needs to put the two together.

Spent too much time overhauling and perfecting game design and put the interns on story and narration.

I agree with you on this point. I think”devs” is conflated for the developing company and its management and not individual devs.

And cocoon

I was I. The same position and dropped it. Then a friend told me to play through the first area and then judge the game. It took a long time to get there but eventually the game really comes together. But this was in a COVID game drought so I was willing to put the time in. That may not be everyone’s idea of fun which I totally get. However I still think about the gameplay and wanna pull it up to run some deliveries and fight some bt’s even years later.

He wasn’t suddenly hyped. He’s been making games for a very long time and has been known as the creative force behind all of them.

Even if it is it’s still free so what’s the problem?

lol, most ps owners don’t use ps plus and it’s not one of the highlights of the systems. Being able to play Spider-Man 2. Now that’s a highlight. They pump out amazing exclusives that far surpass anything from Xbox which keeps them very viable without ps plus being as competitive as gamepass is.

Just see how many of us buy consoles. They all have exclusives. And that’s not scummy. That’s how shit has always been and that’s ok. If a dev can focus on one set of hardware/os they can optimize for that. Just look how amazing the latest gen Sony exclusives are.
