NINTENDO SWITCHTY FOUR

SpaceNoodle,

This right here is the correct answer

mcforest,

chetradley,

NEW Nintendo Switch 3D XLi and Knuckles

OhFudgeBars,

Switch 64, duh. :V

SpaceNoodle,

Some emoji fan already said “Nintendo Switchty-Four,” so I’m afraid you’ve been outdone before you even commented.

Signtist,

I’m hoping for Switch Advance. I’d love a throwback logo and that old “Bling!” startup sound.

100,

Boi if it has that bling and a transparent frosty blue option it’s over, I’m buying it day one. I miss my Gameboy advanced so much, or maybe I miss being a kid, who knows.

MattyXarope,

After the Wii U fiasco I’d be shocked if they called it anything other than Switch 2.

SpaceNoodle,

I’d be shocked if they learned, but relieved as well.

    I love it when my connected and likely not security hardened devices needlessly include components that would be valuable to compromise.

    NiftyBeaks,

    On the bright side, in a few years it will be fun to attempt photography on like how people use the DSi camera. It’s not much, but it’s something 🤷

    pivot_root,

    If the Switch 2’s OS is anything like the Switch’s current revision of Horizon, it’s an extremely hardened OS. They’ve done a surprisingly good job plugging software holes.

    Clown_Tempura,

    The ‘Switch 2’ having a camera for literally no reason is extremely on-brand for Nintendo, so I kind of believe it.

    Sludgehammer,
    @Sludgehammer@lemmy.world avatar

    Eh, a camera can be useful, on the 3DS it’s great for scanning a QR code rather then manually entering a url.

    And really at this point why not throw a camera on the Switch 2? The parts for a cellphone camera is like what… a couple bucks?

    CoughingwithCoffee,

    It’s gonna be for AR dude.

    Signtist,

    3DS advertised AR from the get-go, even coming with a set of cards and built-in games to show it off. Never ended up being anything more than a neat tech demo that people forgot about almost immediately. Haven’t really seen anything to make me think people are more interested in it now, over a decade later.

    Tarquinn2049, (edited )

    VR headsets and the research behind them have made it possible to accurately track the position of the device with very little processing cost from a single camera. Additional cameras are simply for occlusion and field of view at this point. A coupled depth sensor handles any needed resolution of positional conflicts between real world objects and digital objects.

    That tech wasn’t there for 3DS, even with 2 cameras it wasn’t stable or accurate, and it was pretty low res and low angle, and it couldn’t tell if the digital content should be occluded by real world objects at it’s perceived depth. Plus there are actual AR games now already established, and the framework and proof of concept to easily on-board new ones. Also, by the time the Switch 2 is released, the mainstream AR headsets and content will be even more established. Currently the best AR content is either on expensive headsets or in limited form on iPhones. But in less than a month the Quest 3 is out, an accessible mixed reality headset. It will have been out for a while by the time the switch 2 would come out.

    This is very much one of the directions gaming is going. It doesn’t have to replace all gaming, and never will. But it will be a pretty big part of gaming. Especially once there is enough public trust behind it for people to play augmented reality games outdoors. Us nerds already do so, we know we won’t walk out into traffic even if the headset malfunctions. But the hypothetical “everyman” is apparently worried that they might? That’s just not how anything would work… but whatever. It’s safer than playing a phone game and wearing headphones, since letting the real world in and paying attention to both is the whole point, sight and sound.

    Tranus,

    You’re absolutely right about VR. But I don’t think AR is ever going to be that big. There just isn’t as much of a point in mixing the real world with artificial elements. The only reason to do so is to get information that can’t be emulated as well for VR. As VR gets better, AR gets more redundant. AR of the style we see on phones (like pokemon go) is even more pointless. AR will stick around for virtual desktops and smart glasses and the like, but for gaming it will always be a gimmick.

    caseyweederman,

    The fact that I had to open an app on my phone for voice chat meant that I never ever used voice chat.
    I don’t really care if the next Nintendo console has a camera. But I extremely do not want to be forced to use some app on my phone to play the game on my Switch.

    Madbrad200, do games w Baldur's Gate 3's companions were overly horny due to a bug

    I had a convo with gale at the celebration post goblin camp and he was all about inviting me to see some magic trick and I was like cool, sure why not

    then I speak to asterion and he’s like “so your’e gonna fuck gale huh? Good on ya man”

    I was like, what?

    the romance in this game is definitely forced and overly aggressive

    FracturedEel,

    Yeah I just had a scene where wyll asked me to dance and I was ready to dunk on him with my skillz but instead they danced and make out and the game didn’t even ask me if I wanted to

    This is the classic mass effect dialogue option meme where you pick a mellow option and then the MC lashes out.

    A: “No.” B: “that’s a great idea”

    You pick a. Then: “Why would you ever suggest that idea, that’s horrible, I want you out of my group!”

    Ugh, I hate bad PC writing. It's bad enough when it's "I agree 100%," "I agree 100% and wanna s your d," and "You're the stupidest, ugliest, evilest piece of absolute crap I have ever seen in my life and I'd kill you myself if it wouldn't get your blood in the carpet" but then some games just insist on somehow making it non-obvious which is which >:|

    Trystan,

    The article said it was a bug remember

    Chev,

    I never went to camp when they invited me to the party and the next time I saw everybody was in act 2. Did I miss a lot?

    Madbrad200,

    Kind of sorta not really?

    It’s a fun wrap-up to act 1 before you dive into the underdark or the mountain pass. It also serves as an important relationship set-up - it’s where you’re meant to establish who you want to romance, if anyone.

    But it’s probably not required so

    Perfide, (edited ) do games w Baldur's Gate 3 on PS5 is effectively the PC version at ultra settings

    I don’t get all the performance complaints about Act 3. The worst lag I ever had in the entire game was the first time I walked into the druid grove, dropped to 1-5fps for like 20 seconds and then it was more or less fine the rest of the game. One crash in 160 hours of playing, and I’m still on patch 0.2 atm.

    BruceTwarzen,

    Wait did you play like 5 hours a day or is that the beta?

    Perfide,

    That is the full release only. It’s also less than accurate to say 5 hours a day everyday, it was more like 10-15 hours a day with some days where I didn’t play at all.

    Eramidik, do games w Resistor is an incredibly ambitious CaRPG that's Burnout meets Mass Effect

    Great concept. I’m surprised nobody’s attempted something similar with the Speed Racer franchise.

    Boiglenoight, do games w Nintendo demoed Switch 2 to developers at Gamescom

    Cool! Despite its age, I’m still loving the Switch. Best all around library of consistently good games, at least single/local multiplayer.

    NateNate60, do games w Nintendo demoed Switch 2 to developers at Gamescom

    At least they didn’t call it the “SwitchU”

    ProfoundNinja,

    Switch Whu?

    Kecessa,

    They still have the time!

    Schaedelbach,

    How about SwUtch?

    smeg,

    They haven’t called it anything yet, this is just a way of saying “new version of the switch”. Could still be Super Switch, SwitchU or even New Switch XL!

    HawlSera, do gaming w Nintendo demoed Switch 2 to developers at Gamescom

    I’m sorry, did they say Super Mario Kart 8 deluxe? I thought the game was just called Mario Kart 8 deluxe? Or is it getting even more content. Because that would be fucking dope

    dinckelman, do games w Nintendo demoed Switch 2 to developers at Gamescom

    My only wish for this console, is that it doesn’t launch with an SoC, that’s already a year outdated, by the time the thing is announced

    4am,

    Nintendo is going to want a console they can keep standardized for a while without hitting hardware limits early. It’s one of the only major flaws of the Switch, and while it’s not entirely their fault, they know the type of direction devs want to move in. IMHO they will have listened in this regard.

    I don’t expect it will run “on par with PS5” as some rumors have suggested, though.

    Epicurus0319, (edited )

    Yeah I agree, the Switch family in general are mostly meant to play official games like Zelda, DK and Mario whose older incarnations were also designed for other small consoles that ran on battery power, and not-so-demanding third-party games that can be played without connection to power like Minecraft BE. They’re like a modern DS with a bigger screen that you can connect to a TV and play with detachable controllers, and never pretended to be anything more.

    stankmut,

    The PS5 is the size of a small boat. The only way Nintendo can release a portable console that matches it would be if it came in a wheelbarrow.

    SpaceNoodle,

    Anyone remember the Compaq Portable?

    It weighed almost 30 lbs.

    szczuroarturo,

    But the ps5 plays games in 4k .if i remember correctly 4k requires 16x compute power compared to 1080p ( on the gpu side ). So with dlss from 720p to 1080p it might be possible to match 4k ps5 . Alghtough it might be immposible with the games bound by cpu , unlike the ps4/xbox one generation the consoles this time dont have a completly dogshit CPU from the get go.

    jecht360,
    @jecht360@lemmy.world avatar

    That would be nice, but it’s Nintendo so it probably will be old by the time it comes out.

    SpaceNoodle,

    Literally impossible since SoC vendors literally can’t deliver working pre-production chips for development work

    I mean, they say they do, but they really don’t

    emanon458, do xbox w Star Wars Jedi: Survivor patch promises "solid 60fps" console Performance Mode

    Sweet. By the time this hits gamepass, I’ll be ready to take a break from Starfield.

    rotmulaaginskyrim,

    Any guesses on when that might be?

    emanon458,

    If I had to guess, I would say 9-12 months after release.

    Weslee, (edited ) do games w Baldur's Gate 3 on PS5 is effectively the PC version at ultra settings

    It’s runs on ultra on my 1060 gtx, I’m not surprised it runs well on consoles, the game is pretty nicely optimized

    ayaya,
    @ayaya@lemdro.id avatar

    You probably haven’t gotten to Act 3 yet, the game is extremely CPU bound. I have a Ryzen 9 7950X and while Act 1 and 2 were basically locked to 144fps the entire time, in Act 3 I have seen dips down to the 40s.

    Weslee,

    Ah my CPU is pretty modern compared to the 1060, and no I’m not even into act 2 yet

    PrinceHabib72,

    Try turning off “Dynamic Crowds” in settings. I didn’t notice much difference in how the crowds behaved, but it supposedly simplifies their AI and pathfinding to cut down on CPU use. It helped me a lot in the city.

    ShittyRedditWasBetter,

    3080 + 12700k @4k. I needed to run everything in performance mode on DLSS to get even a consistent 60. Still jittery in the big areas.

    holiday,

    2060 super user here. I’m assuming you haven’t made it to Act 3? The game has some performance issues there. I happily turned down the graphics to continue playing smoothly but was a tad disappointed.

    I’m on my second playthrough though and they have patched it since my first experience so hopefully the evil campaign runs (visually) smoother.

    zanariyo,

    Act 3’s issues aren’t GPU bound, it’s entirely CPU bottlenecked. It’s likely someone with a slower GPU won’t see as big a drop in performance in act 3 as you, and it’s likely you don’t see any performance gain from using DLSS in act 3. My 2080 Super was sleeping through it even at 3440x1440 on ultra while my Ryzen 7 3700x was getting thrashed.

    Thebazilly, (edited ) do games w Peter Molyneux says he regrets over-promising his games

    It just means we’re in the lull between games. Molyneux always does this.

    • Hype new game
    • Game comes out and cannot possibly live up to the hype
    • Apologize for overhyping game < You are here
    • Start developing new game
    betternotbigger,

    I have a love hate relationship with this man. He has spearheaded some of my favorite games even if they came nowhere close to what was promised. It’s so weird to come back to Fable and enjoy it more than I did when it came out.

    cyanarchy,

    Fable is incredible if you were too young or too insular to know who Peter Molyneux is or what he had to say on the topic.
