No thank you. Got rid of my Switch and got a Steam deck years ago. Much better.

Although we still number consoles, in a lot of ways we did get our “tiered” console structure.

Take most people’s daily plays, and I’d say about 90% of them or more have an edition available on the prior gen console. And it makes sense when so many of those games have relatively basic graphics - and when game engines have gotten better at scalability.

So, those consoles are neatly serving as a low budget option for a lot of gamers that can’t follow all the latest and most expensive games. Yes, some newer releases will be fully excluded; but even then, getting a brand new or used Switch or PS4 can introduce someone to a huge number of games if they haven’t been exploring options.

When no one buys them they will lower the price.

Tronn4,

Nintendo doesn’t lower prices 😑

Watch what happens when their sales numbers are super low.

Tronn4, (edited )

I been here since the NES days. Nintendo doesn’t lower prices. Edit: don’t mean to sound stand offish but I’d be surprised if Nintendo ever does that

cyberpunk007,

This would work, if people wouldn’t buy them regardless. I have no doubt this console will be successful, but I’m not gonna kid myself and think nobody is going to buy it at that price.

With this economy the sales numbers will be low. They should consider a 300 price point and make up the loses with the sale of their games.

Or… play free retro games on a £50 trimui (linux handheld) from aliexpress!

Company says that if you can’t afford their expensive product, you should buy one of their cheaper ones. Well yeah… Did anyone expect something else here? They aren’t going to give you a special deal, nor are they going to advise you to buy elsewhere. This is so pointless.

“Cant afford a Switch 2? Just don’t eat and save up until you can!”

thermal_shock,

Well I’m making myself a deal, starting today, no more gas station trips for soda. If I can make it the month and start riding my bike again, I’m getting a steam deck.

And will emulate the fuck out of switch games. Kiddo already has a hacked switch.

Don’t worry. They’ll have a return to form soon enough.

BigPotato,

Yeah, Microsoft had a similar stance around the Xbox One timeframe! It worked out great for them.

Just don’t talk about it, Nintendo, that’s a better PR strategy.

Hyphlosion,

They aren’t going to give you a special deal

  1. The Switch 2 and Mario Kart World bundle is a good deal.
  2. If you’re working on your credit score and it’s time to open a new line of credit, get a credit card with a $200 welcome reward that gives you $200 back if you spend $500 in the first three months. Perfect for the Switch 2 with other items for launch. Just sayin’.

My motto is (“Don’t reward bad behavior”) if a dog bites you you won’t give it a treat. So why should we reward nintenDONT for shady Anti-Gaming practices?!

NintenDONT just shot themselves in the foot cause although the price of admission increased the Eye Patches are FREE🏴‍☠️

But how will we play Mario Kart World? Why not release it on Switch 1? Oh that’s right, they want people to buy the new gaming system. Screw others who can’t afford it. It’s just a couple hundred extra bucks. Just put that extra money aside for two months and you will have your Switch 2.

Or!..another option is why don’t we not buy anything? At least it would help not getting more grammas sued

@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Wait, it’s already out? I heard a bunch of rumors about it just the other day and I went on Steam to look it up, and I could swear it was still targeting a release in 2026.

They must have been working overtime on this to beat Skyblivion to the finish line.

RightHandOfIkaros,

They dropped the trailer and the game at the same time. Its a pretty well done remaster/remake so far. Minor visual bugs but thats kinda to be expected at this point. Nothing totally gamebreaking though. Runs well enough on Xbox and considerably better on a PC. Xbox performance mode gives it a high framerate, though I am unsure if it is 60 or 120 fps, I would assume probably just 60.

MacNCheezus,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

According to some YouTube videos I watched, a bunch of screenshots were recently leaked, confirming the existence of this whole project, which apparently has been kept under wraps the whole time.

But yeah, I can’t help but think they wanted to get it out there before Skyblivion drops (which is likely going to be free), so they can get some of that sweet cashflow before it’s too late.

Kaboom,

Yeah, it’s fairly decent. Nothing spectacular, but it hits its marks.

The only thing I’m concerned with is are they going to add in a cash shop.

VerseAndVermin,

I would be extremely surprised if they don’t find a way to get more money out of it. Cosmetics for sure. Perhaps quests at some point. I feel like full expansions are kinda dead though and certainly out of scope, as isn’t just the normal game in an Unreal 5 wrapping?

I play ESO, and love it, but I have been shaken down too aggressively to trust.

ICastFist,
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

I find that very likely, which will be extremely on character, as Oblivion was the first single player game to sell cosmetic DLC: horse armor.

On the plus side, it is a spectacular story and just masterpiece of a game, even for its age.

On the other, first Hollywood couldn’t get over the whole remaster and release to milk that cow, and videogames are all onboard the milk train.

Cause, new ideas are too expensive and it’s easier to repackage and upscale I suppose.

Still, feels exciting and disappointing at the same time.

arudesalad,

The reason they did this is probably because Microsoft needed a Bethesda game that isn’t starfield to sell gamepass and tes6 is so early on it doesn’t need many developers yet so they can afford developing this instead

SolidShake, do games w Oblivion Remaster Rockets Past 100K Players on Steam Hours After Launch - Insider Gaming

I don’t understand fully. I haven’t played the game since it first came out and I played it on the 360. But this remaster almost feels like a half UE5 conversation with an AI generateded character updates. Like it half looks like absolute trash except for the scenery.

I know it’s not a remake or a complete overhaul. But did the character movement slide this much on the original? Did all the NPCs you talk to look like they’re in late stage face cancer?

Hellinabucket,

Yes, actually they looked worse than this, it looked so much worse.

SolidShake,

I would imagine lol. It’s been so long. Oh well, having a fun time regardless minus the terrible optimization that is UE5

I like to describe classic Oblivion characters as looking like they were all carved from the same potato.

psx_crab,

From what i looked the character movement and behaviour seems to be unchanged, but the combat is speed up so it looks so weird. The character model and the mouth movement is honestly doesn’t looks good, sheogorath looks so so weird. From the trailer and some gameplay it’s basically like adding those environment, lighting, combat, and then character model mod, very much mismatched. I guess that’s the cost of remastering to current standard while maintain the jank, as most would say, the janky-ness of oblivion is what give it the charm.

I think skyblivion gonna “feel” much better as it’s build on top of skyrim.

Asafum, (edited ) do games w Oblivion Remaster Rockets Past 100K Players on Steam Hours After Launch - Insider Gaming

I’m enjoying it quite a bit!

… except for the fucking lockpicking…

Whyyy did they have to make it so much harder?! It’s so unforgiving now and they took away the noise cue! I used to be able to do it without even looking at the screen because you could hear a distinct sound when it clicked into place. Now there are 3 different drop speeds and the sounds are so minimal…
