That is amazing.
In a way, it's reassuring as it indicates that Bethesda is still Bethesda, they have not all been replaced by competent programmers over the years, it's still the same team that brought us such fiascos as Skyrim on PS3.
Interesting read. They obviously start off noting that it's not a like for like comparision as the Switch2 version has been heavily modified. Bottom line seems to be that in handheld mode they trade blows, with the Switch2 pulling a little ahead, but the Steam Deck being favoured because of it's superior OLED screen (for those who own the OLED version of course). In docked mode Switch2 is clearly the better version.
And it wouldn't be DF if they didn't stop to marvel at the engineering, reitterating multiple times how this is a very impressive feat for the Nintendo handheld, as it's achieving this on a power budget of around 9W up against the Steam Deck's 25W. And while it is indeed impressive, it's also a moot point since the Deck's battery is proportionally bigger so actual game time is similar on both devices. I agree with them that it's very cool, but no one will ever care.
What's the power rating on the steam deck battery? Switch 2 is 5220 mah.
Even when I slap the lightest, thinest powerbank to it, it feels almost too heavy.
Is the steamdeck quite heavy then?
it's about 100 grams heavier, or 20% heavier than Switch2.
for comparision, the Deck OLED is about twice as heavy as the Switch OLED
Man, Nvidea's worth has grown tenfold in the last 2 and a half years. We all saw this coming and we're all fools for not buying as much stock as we could back then. To be fair, I haven't entered the stock market myself (yet). Did anyone get in on this?
I did about 6 months ago. I wish I had done it a few years earlier, but I don't see anything but growth coming from them for the next several years. I think it's still going to be a pretty strong investment in the long run.
Good on you. I kind of agree, but really, how much bigger can they get? It already boggles the mind.
Exactly the reason I haven't dared to make the plunge yet. I need to find me some knowledgeable people. Also, I need to find some savings. With our renovations dragging along for years on end I just keep pouring money into the house.
It is eye opening when you feel the weight. You get, not a lot more time playing with something that feels a bit too heavy to play for extended periods.
Started to think that using a heavy high capacity battery attached via longer USB c cable is better.
Then I hate being tethered to it and if you plug in wired headphones you're physically tied down.
Meh.
Superman was fun to watch. The 1978 version will probably always be my favorite but this one is up there.
Not a huge Guardians of the Galaxy fan.
The Wii was the last home console that I was truly excited for. Like the DS, it brought something new table, which didn't always work well, but was a lot of fun to experience nonetheless.
Am looking forward to seeing the new Superman movie. Might go to theatres. Might just wait for blu-ray. Krypto for the win!
Loved the Guardians of the Galaxy movies.
Wonder when the Donkey Kong Bananza reviews will come out.
My digital copy of DK Banaza just downloaded yesterday.
On Topic of the GUpodcast, how can you slam Clair Obscur 33 for having an undercooked ending and the finish your podcast like that? I thought my stream had dropped. If I sit through the whole damn thing, I'd at least expect to be thanked for listening!
They should have an outro with Phil Fogg singing.
