Yes this. But I do see lder gamers igrating to steam deck but i am biased by my own exp

Last I heard Steamdeck had sold 5 million.

Switch is at or nearing 130 million.

I think a dedicated Sony or MS handheld would do well.

But they might then face the same problem Nintendo had with delivering games to a home console and handheld.

I thought Switch was near 150 million and that that was probably why Sony updated their PS2 numbers.

I updated the list of rumoured Switch 2 games in the thread courtesy of IGN.

I just remembered the Robocop game, I would like to play that. Did anyone try it?

Also I really want Syberia the World Before.

Did anyone play the Broken Sword remake yet? I'm waiting on a physical release.

Sony should do another production run of PS2 systems just to spite Nintendo. Nyaa I bet they'd sell millions. I'd buy one.

The PS2 mini perhaps? You know if they hadn't completely botched the PS1 mini, I could see that happening.

I could use a new PS2 as well. I don't trust my current ones to last much longer.

If you have one with the HDD bay, you can buy a special PS2 memory card on Amazon that allows you to rip all of your PS2 disks to the internal HDD and play the games off the HDD; no disk needed after theme ripping process. Spawnwave on YT has a video about it. Might help your system to last longer.

I was bored by the Robocop game. It's a cool recreation of that world but the gameplay is very simple and repetitive.

I hope Nintendo shows two or three games playing on the switch 2 during the reveal as a tease. I expect the launch Mario game whether it's Kart or a 3D platformer.

Aww.

I was looking forward to Robocop.

I watched I Dream of Indies 2023 game awards last night.

Ugly, won. That's that game I told you guys about that I randomly spotted on the eshop.

They say it's criminally overlooked and I can see why, in that it doesn't seem to have received any marketing or promotion at all.

It looks really good and I've been waiting on a decent price drop for a while now.

All I really care for is if Monster Hunter Wilds or whatever it's called will release on Switch 2 and if it'll be crossplay.  Dragon Age Veilgaurd would be cool too.

I don't know how I feel about Obivion being UE5 remake rumor. I don't think it needs to be remade. Just remaster it. It already looks great on PC at 4K. Take the PC version, add gamepad support, and push out the draw distance as far as possible. Done. Why waste resources remaking something that doesn't really need it?

A remake is preferable because it should look a lot better. Like Metal Gear Delta.

I'd rather have a new game instead.

I'd love to have a remake since I really didn't get into the original game.

I think Virtuous is doing the porting, Bethesda can still do the new one without it affecting them.

No Switch 2 reveal tweet yet.

We're they rumors wrong, again?
