As of right now, it seems like the only way they can detect a hacked Switch is if its user goes online for a game in the emuNAND. I don’t think there is a way for them to detect emulating on PC, unless you’re like that streamer who publicly flouted Nintendo’s cease and desists
I’m happy they are taking their time - if Silksong comes close to the quality of Hollow Knight it will be a great game, and they definitely have a chance to make it even better.
I do however wish there was just a bit more communication. Not even release dates or anything, just a small “things are coming along nicely” every couple of months, maybe with tiny peeks at new art. Their official channels have been pretty much dead for years now.
Agreed. I trust team cherry as HK is one of the greatest gaming experiences Ive ever had in my life but the lack of communication is tough. Same with Fromsoftware and Patrick Rothfuss lol please end my suffering pat
Its a really odd situation with the kingkiller books because they were such a massive influence on my childhood and now im in my 30’s just still waiting to find out what happens next
I think the process of taking your time and flipping off the marketing managers is a good one; but I’ve also seen signs that if development takes TOO long, the internal creative momentum can kind of grind to a halt or even be overtaken as they become outdated against advances in game design.
The developers are generally gamers too, and the passion for development is often fueled by excitement for the concept - excitement that can fade the same way as with fans (granted, they have to be more patient than most fans). Sticking with something too long can even lead to low confidence in that concept.
I can be patient, I just hope their approach hasn’t lead to internal burnout.
Yuzu is dead and not getting updates, and it’s forks aren’t really much more active. It will not be able to run switch 2 games.
It’s totally fine to think the steam deck is a better value (though these will also be going up in price) but if you want to play switch 2 games the steam deck will not be the solution
This is the first I’ve seen of it but I’ll guess it’s a retro gaming emulator handheld, android or Linux based. So it’ll run whatever its chips are powerful enough to run.
This is from Ayaneo, who make mostly high-end handheld PCs. This one is using a similar chip to the ROG Ally, so its a Windows handheld, and quite a powerful one.
I wouldn't say it's entirely worthless, but sure, I'd still far prefer that to someone mindlessly speculating with no reference of how accurate the info is
This game had a shockingly good run. Obviously it’s still going to be around with repeat tours and all that, but the fact it got as many new updates as it did is pretty impressive
Honestly, I’m an advocate for emulation and game preservation and all that, but I’m surprised this is only now the case. I don’t have the nerve to try to hack my device if it’s the currently being supported platform. If they’ve already abandoned it then it’s fair game but the currently active console with your current actual information on there that gets regular updates? You’re just playing with fire.
It’s like taking it upon yourself to make an “HD remake” of the IPs owned by famously stringent companies who aren’t afraid to put the hammer down on these things.
I generally agree, I only really hack consoles that aren’t being supported anymore, but I don’t like how over-reaching the end user agreement is sounds like it’s likely to be abused
I heard that Pocket Pair use relatively questionable methods to develop their games such as AI and literal copy-paste for their concept art which they then just alter.
But its more hearsay than everything else I guess.
Please don’t post hearsay. If you want to post something incriminating, take a second to verify it first. This is how bad rumors propagate, and as a society today it’s a problem we’re facing like never before. Do your part!
I had a bit of a rant about this a while back when I was playing Splatoon with friends.
The crux of the argument is this “if we stop trying to look at Splatoon as a good game and instead look at it as an entertaining game, the issues we run into make sense. The bugs glitches and bad balancing issues don’t matter as much from an entertainment standpoint. You get in you play and you’re entertained. Even if the match drops you can get back in an be entertained. It doesn’t mean it’s a good game, but it is entertaining.”
My friend’s and I are now freaking out about my prophetic words.
I have to ask then: what’s the difference between a good game and an entertaining game?
From my perspective, games exist to be entertaining so if a game is entertaining then it is a good game. I don’t know what other metric would be used to determine if a game is good.
Unfortunately that’s the part of the rant I don’t remember. I had a pretty decent definition for both a good game and an entertaining game and why they aren’t exactly the same thing but I also had a decent amount of beer that night.
If I think of it I’ll reply to your comment again with the update.
Mobile games, case in point. They often aren’t designed to be good or even fun, they’re designed to maximize playtime over the long term
That means you start off making it fun and easy to advance, but then you start to back off on the rewards and make them grind and wait more and more. It’s the Facebook technique
I mean there were like… NO sales. What the hell do you expect? We got one for our son and good Lord after Nintendo Online, Tax, Screen Protector, Insurance, one extra game its like an $800 expense!
Honestly wasn’t expecting them to use Hall Effect in the first place (have any consoles actually had those in recent years?) But let’s be real, this is also the least of the switch 2’s problems. Everything around this console is way too damn expensive. The only thing that’s priced reasonably (imo atleast) is the actual console itself.
I’ve luckily pre-ordered one with Mario kart World bundle for £430 - which I agree (with a inflation) is not ridiculous in itself. I’ve been waiting for 2 years as I never got the original switch and thought I’d wait for the all new model with backward compatibility…
However I am concerned about future game costs and controllers/accessories. Likely will be looking for preowneed/sale/3rd party. The £10 demo is also a big red flag and I hope doesn’t set the tone for a Wiiu like story.
