Quick question many months/years later.




Has anyone tried Huntdown yet?

Second thing, I was playing Doom 2016 on a 1080p tv last night and it looked pretty great. Usually you can't beat the small OLED screen or 2k on the big tv with Mclassic.

I got 2 new rifles.

I put off buying this game for so long because I thought it looked too blurry and I'd rather play it on a more powerful system. But a few minutes in and those thoughts melt away, it's smooth, the motion controls are great and it looks pretty great, albeit with a softer image quality  compared to Crysis 2 remastered or Metroid Prime remastered.

Lights dynamically cast on the environment, materials look great, there are surface reflections everywhere and my favourite thing is mist.and steam hanging in the air. Very atmospheric.

How are you supposed to use the chainsaw? I've been shooting, then running in to finish with the chainsaw. Does anyone just run in with a chainsaw?

I don't think I can do justice to what Brainchild wrote about dlss on Switch 2, so check the video.

You can fast forward to the time stamped info.

He's saying there is unreleased information on how it runs on Switch 2 in a closed environment, that he has seen but wont leak. So there's very little (cost) to using it on the platform.

I was actually watching dlss 2.0 videos from Digital Foundry last night. The AI upscaled image at both 1080p and 4k actually looked better than native.

They even rendered at 540p, used dlss to get to 1080p, not only did the framerate massively increase but the image quality was better than native 1080p.

They also did 1080p rendered and output to 4k with the same result.

Nintendo is ridiculous. Just announce it already. Maybe they're just too busy filing lawsuits and patents right now.

I was hoping that Switch 2 would look more distinctive on its face. Hopefully, Hall Effect sticks will be used to prevent stick drift, at least.

I'm lukewarm on the system, unfortunately. My gaming "needs" are met almost completely by my Series X, and I'm more inclined to buy any Xbox handheld that should release. Even with all the problems that Xbox has created for itself over the years, I've spent more money on, and have more interest in, games that have appeared or will appear on Xbox but likely not on a Nintendo system. The only series exclusive  to Nintendo that interest me are Smash Bros, which we don't know the status of and in which my interest has declined with age and changing circumstances; Metroid, which is a must-have but is often overshadowed by games on Xbox I would rather have; and Zelda, which has the same status for me as Metroid, but with the added note that Tears of the Kingdom was a real let-down.

Perhaps it's just nostalgia or tradition, but despite the above...  I still want a Switch 2. I should probably quell this urge -- family and very little free time make most of my past gaming purchases wastes of money, especially given that I tend to fixate on some games for huge stretches of time (FromSoft games).

Also, Yoda (do you still go by this?), is there an issue with password reset emails? I got the indication that a password reset email would be sent so I could log in to my old Angry_Beaver account, but the email never arrived at the address I entered.

I've already said it, if it doesn't have a Miiverse, the entire system will be a failure in my eyes. StarTropics 3 could of course save it, but I still suspect they're going to try and release that as a launch title for the Switch 3. Third game for the third system. Plus it gives them some time for a little extra polish.

There's a new rumour that sounds fake to me but it's come from 2 different random(s).

They say there's an app called Vidmeo built it like miiverse but you can upload videos and it will have a mobile phone app counterpart.
