I mean sure, two outlets reporting it, but I’ll believe it when I see it. With the Switch Pro/2/U/360/Series N in particular, the leaks were always so outlandish and in the end turned out false, while we can clearly assume the overall news about a Switch successor being in development to be real, any specific piece of news I’d immediately discard and put into the “made up stuff”-folder for the time being.
Terrible title. “Switch 2 supports ray tracing and will use upscaling” is the summary. Which is obvious, it won’t be anywhere near consoles, it’s like 1/7th resolution.
That’s not what the article says, the values in the patent are an example. It’s not out of realm of possibility to have something that can match at least the Series S when docked while still supporting a portable mode.
Sure, it is a garbage patent anyway, the Steam Deck does upscaling when docked too, woohoo.
This hardware isn’t a mystery, it’s a newer mobile ARM SoC using a newer Nvidia architecture supporting RT and DLSS. It will run at a low resolution. Probably max of 1080p, probably plenty of 720p on more demanding games. All upscaled.
And to be clear that’s fine, it is what a Switch 2 was always going to be.
Andrew Wilson and my personal definition of ‘very exciting’ likely differ greatly, so I’m not going to pay attention to anything until we see the products. I suspect he is very excited to make a lot of money on a bunch of new Star Wars games.
Does he? By now his brain may be addled enough for him to believe that. The guy's been Todd Howard for decades now and that's really got to wear on a person's mind.
Considering Microsoft forcing a year QA on them with the full MS QA team… yea I imagine the partnership and exclusivity did indeed yield a much less buggy and thus better product.
I really love the game but optimisation and performance are a joke. I played it with 30fps on console and PC and it needs absurd amounts of power. Would it be even more worse with a multi release on PS5?
Yep, the linux driver issue is either crash on 535 or get a rock solid 26-31 FPS on 525 irrespective of settings with frame timings being so smooth you get a more pleasant experience chewing sand.
which is hilarious because the game plays better on a steam deck than on my 3080
I don’t think current Respawn could pull it off, Titanfall 2 was lightning in a bottle with them begging EA to not have any DLC and Apex plays like shit compared to it with a predatory battle pass.
Been playing apex since launch. I've bought a total of 3 battle passes with actual money, it's super easy to just continue buying the battle pass off of the previous pass rewards. I have no love for the battle pass market but the apex one isn't one I'd call predatory. Game is free, battle pass is purely cosmetics you aren't forced into in any way. Aside from persistent audio issues apex plays really well for me.
Not that interested in Indiana Jones as a franchise, but I'm curious to see what MachineGames can do with it. I could see some interesting traversal and combat gameplay with the whip, but I guess we'll learn more next year.
