Poggervania, do gaming w Consumer Nintendo Switch 2 rumored to have more RAM than the Xbox Series S
@Poggervania@kbin.social avatar

More RAM doesn’t really mean anything in gaming performance. It helps, but a faster CPU and GPU with a good whack of VRAM is gonna help more.

Primarily0617,

arguably RAM matters the most

gpu and cpu you can just downgrade the quality, but at a certain point everything has to fit into memory

e.g., baldur's gate 3 literally couldn't be properly ported to the S because of a RAM limitation

Oh shit, really? Wasn’t even aware of that lol, I always had the generally recommended amount of RAM in my gaming rig so I never thought that would be a thing.

dom,

There is a point where more ram doesnt help and maybe that’s what you are thinking of. It’s more “must be this tall to ride” from my understanding

EddoWagt,

Also, textures, usually they don’t really cost performance and absolutely change the visuals of a game, but can be massively limited by a lack of ram

HellAwaits,

not even remotely true.

Consoles have shared RAM between CPU and GPU, more RAM is more VRAM

You are thinking from pc pov. PS3 is perhaps the last major home console that have dedicated ram and vram, maybe 3ds had it on the handheld front

narc0tic_bird,

Not sure about 3DS, but the PlayStation Vita had 128 MB of VRAM in addition to the 512 MB of system RAM.

Damn, even the shovelware?

TheSporkBomber,

That statement better not include sneak king.

winkerjadams,

Is that the burger king game

ouRKaoS,

One of the 3.

Big Bumpin’ & Pocketbike Racer are the other two, and the racing game is better than it has any right to be.

    I think the other aspect is that we have the statistics now. I would assume that the PS2 had more monthly users than the PS3 for quite a long time maybe even up to the PS4. Same with the Wii and WiiU and going farther back quite possibly the NES than the SNES, SNES than the N64, C64 than the Amiga, etc.

    network_switch,

    I think DC Universe Online went free to play before the PS4 came out. Don’t recall any other. PC had a lot of free to play games during the PS3 era though. Shooting games like Crossfire and Americas Army. A ton of free to play MMOs and I think it came out like halfway through the PS3 era, League of Legends

    lol good. Fuck Nintendo

    Hard to replicate the typing experience on the Deck when the hardware doesn’t have dual trackpads.

    Corigan,

    I should read the comments before posting. I had the same thought.

    If this means I can play my Steam games on my phone… Yay! 🎉

    PieMePlenty,

    More like the other way round.

    You can stream steam games to your phone with steam link thought.

    qevlarr,
    @qevlarr@lemmy.world avatar

    Wait, but Steam doesn’t have Android games, right?

    bitwaba,

    Yeah. Stream your android games from your phone to your steam deck so you can stream them to your phone!

    Which is what they’re rumored to be working on. Hence the post.

    SatyrSack,

    Yet

    xavier666,

    While I welcome Android games on Steam, a part of me is repulsed by how Android game devs treat their customers; in-game ads, horrendous amount of mtx, p2w. Not saying that Steam games don’t suffer mtx but it’s way lesser.

    Anyway, let’s see how it goes.

    pathief,
    @pathief@lemmy.world avatar

    The main problem is the amount of REALLY bad games. It’s very hard to find decent games, most of them are intentionally unplayable garbage.

    xavier666,

    We need a dedicated Green Light with Dev guidelines for Android games. Or at least a separate store section for them. I really don’t want to get flooded by low-effort mobile games.

    @helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

    Honestly Steam is WAY overdue for an Android store.

    Although it seems like putting the cart before the horse if they’re developing Android support for Steam Deck before launching a game store.

    smeg,

    You can sort of do that with Winlator, but it’s pretty early tech!

    Ubisoft sucks

    It isn’t like Nintendo where the games make up for much, Ubisoft fucking blows. Their games are either shallow as shit, or cookie-cutter grindfests based on the same old tired design. I’m glad they don’t own anything that anybody would miss. There isn’t a franchise they own that they haven’t already ruined. Rayman, maybe?

    I don’t live in the US. The price in local currency was close enough to $50.

    zipzoopaboop,

    Considering no ships having been going stateside from China, will Americans receive it at all?

    callouscomic, do games w Nintendo stock falls after mixed reaction from Switch 2 announcement

    It’s underwhelming and there are better options, and it’ll sell like crazy because people are basic.

    aesthelete,

    Nintendo consoles have better exclusives and last longer than the competition.

    SkyezOpen,

    I’ll shit on Nintendo all day for any amount of reasons, but I just played wii sports with my nephews on a wii that I bought before they were born. Find me a working original Xbox 360 I fucking dare you.

    Squizzy,

    Just the console works is the brag here? Retro consoles are incredibly popular. Xbox might just suck

    FreeLikeGNU, do games w Valve rumored to be working on Android emulator for Steam

    Hmm something about this has me fantasizing about a phone sized deck. But considering Valves development of VR and this development, I think they are going to tap into the android based VR dev pool for porting titles to an official Android on Steam platform.

    It really should, the Series S is already looking dead and we are only at the beginning of the console lifecycle.
