So I'm worried this isn't going to last long, but today I got Dragon Force working on my Saturn emulator. I've been wanting to play this for almost 30 years, so I'm looking forward to finally checking it out.

Haven’t played that since back when it initially came out. Seem to recall enjoying it back then. Been a long time though.

Years ago I saw it listed as one of the best Saturn games ever made, but even just after the console was put out to pasture it was hard to find and super expensive. Very curious to see how well it holds up today.

I haven't checked my email but it would be mostly Balatro and Zelda, that's about it. PC was my main hours getter.

So I have been playing Shadow Generations and holy shit it's the best controlling 3D Sonic ever, I don't know what they did but it feels so good. The boost formula perfected, the levels are incredible as well, as good as anything in Unleashed/generations. And the small hub world is way more interesting than anything in Frontiers. They do know how to do amazing 3D levels, couldn't tell you that after forces and frontiers. I really hope the next sonic game uses everything they did in this.

Happy new year from Australia. We are a quarter way through this century. I'll be long gone when it clicks over to 2100. My daughter will be in her early 80's 😢

I saw a interview where SEGA said they were disappointed with it. But the way it was said, i wasn't sure if the dwv was unhappy with the game or unhappy that they made wanted changes and the fan base or sales didn't live up to what they wanted.

Doom is more like Halo now, I approve.

I don't like that you can't reload your weapons. I like the animation of reloading and the way you have to choose when to reload tactically in most fps.

Visually it's not bad, it's soft but it's smooth AF.

Mclassic makes it sharper, but boots the colour so much I have to alter the gamma.

Motion controls work well. Is there a sniper rifle in this game?

I owned a copy. One of the few games I sold later for a profit. It's a cool game but didn't click with me at the time.

My favorite Saturn RPG is Shining of the Holy Ark.

Doom 2016 would be a much slower game if it had weapon reloading. I like that it doesn't and let's you just fire like crazy.

Vortex Rifle is the sniper rifle in the game. You can also get a tactical scope upgrade for your assault rifle early on which works similar to a sniper rifle too.

I like choosing when to reload then pop out of cover to blast something.

Not cover shooters but fps with corridors and crates and stuff.

Do you ever get a better pistol?

Kunai is awesome.

World traversel feels great, controls are perfect, combat is satisfying. And the world building is good, subtle and not forced on you.

With an imminent launch date arriving soon, Nintendo Switch 2 leaks have been showing up by the dozen. Now, we get to see its motherboard that reveals some juicy specifications of the console. For starters, we see an Nvidia chip at its heart. While its markings have been obfuscated, the visible part (SNW8VF), confirms it is manufactured on Samsung Foundry's 8 nm node; the same as Nvidia Ampere.

Next to it, we can see soldered memory from SK Hynix (codenamed H58GE6AK8BX104N). This corresponds to 6 GB LPDDR5 models, and there are two of them for 12 GB total, three times more than the amount found on a regular Nintendo Switch. We also get to see two USB-C ports and the cartridge slot, but no micro SD card slot for some reason. If that is indeed the case, a storage expansion is likely on the cards for the Nintendo Switch 2.

While an Ampere chip with 12 GB LPDDR5 RAM should be able to pull off 4K 30 FPS, it will require the assistance of AI-powered chicanery. Then again, Nintendo has clearly bowed out of the high-end console rat race and repeatedly stated the Switch 2 will be more of a side grade than a real upgrade. If an older rumour is true, we should know for certain on January 8.

https://gamerant.com/nintendo-switch-2-upscaling-rumor/

Interesting Switch 2 Patent suggesting upscaling from 1080p to reduce game sizes to fit on the 32gb max size game carts Switch 1 supports.

They say a 4k 60gb game can render at 1080p and be 20gb big and then use what we assume to be DLSS to upscale to 4k.

What more interesting is that there's talk of training Switch 2 to learn how to better upscale your game by using screenshots from the 4k builds of other systems?

It sounds more plausible as the recent rtx 3050 8gb ver videos I've seen show that it can basically run anything at 1080p at high to ultra settings at a decent framerate. Though the shader cores may be reduced on Switch 2 as well as other compromises. The 12gb of RAM suggests it will output at higher resolutions though.

I have seen the rtx 3050 doing 2k and 4k using dlss and running at decent framerates. But we don't know how good Switch 2s cpu will be. Personally I don't have a problem with 1080p on a 4ktv. Most Switch games are sub 1080p anyway. And I can always use Mclassic to get 2k anyway,  but that doesn't help with muddy textures and poor framerates.

Switch 2 shouldn't have that problem.
