SuperSpecialNickname, do games w The $900 Ayaneo 3 is the most exciting PC handheld the company’s yet made

Genuinely curious, why would someone buy this over steam deck?

The modular capabilities, I/O ports.

The one thing I don’t like is that it doesn’t support SteamOS and the list of issues with Bazzite does not inspire confidence.

yggstyle,

Man I was ready to trash this post as an ad, but this stopped me. IMO you should put your opinion in the post to make for a more compelling interaction… otherwise it’s just an RSS feed with more steps.

On topic: I like the concept of handheld that can do double duty via oLink etc. With a lot of these handhelds I think we’re on the verge of seeing something finally replace laptops. There’s some hurdles to jump but I genuinely feel like this formfactor is part of the next step.

technomad,

Better (more ergonomic) form factor for one thing.

Steam deck is too damn big, and uncomfortable, in my opinion.

Tattorack, do games w Sony is working on Horizon Zero Dawn and Helldivers 2 movies
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

A Horizon movie could work, so long as it’s not going to adapt one of the game’s stories, and works instead as an expansion of the world rather than a retread.

Helldivers… I’m not seeing it. I’m not seeing it at all. It’ll simply be off-brand Starship Troopers. Besides, what story is there to tell? The game’s direction is partially, in some small part, driven by the way players react to alerts events. You’re not going to capture that in a movie.

I’m waiting for that new Intel gear.

TachyonTele, do games w Sony is working on Horizon Zero Dawn and Helldivers 2 movies

I like the story, it’s a neat concept. But a Sony movie about it is probably the last thing I’m interested in.

Unless it stars Dakota Johnson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Jared Leto.

XeroxCool,

TIL who Aaron Taylor-Johnson is and that he’s continuing the tradition of having two Marvel characters

TachyonTele, (edited )

He’s a 50-50 actor. When he’s good, like in Kickass and Bullettrain, he’s real good. But when he’s bad he’s absolutely horrible, like Godzilla and every superhero movie he’s been in.

Edit. I want to add that I didn’t even realize it was him in Bullet Train until half way through. He’s pretty entertaining in it.
The movie itself suffers from a “im sooo smart and clever” syndrome that some movies have. Johnson and whoever played the girl are the good parts of that movie.

TheFonz,

Jared Leto? Really? The sexaholic cult leader?

XeroxCool,

I beleive it was a complaint about those 3 actors. “it’s almost the least interesting thing, scoring higher than only these 3 features”

TachyonTele,

Thank you

TachyonTele,

Jokes? Really? In written form?

TheFonz,

My bad i got wooshed good haha I deserve it. Im leaving it up tho so I get the down votes I deserve

TachyonTele,

Lol i respect that.

Kissaki, do gaming w GOG’s new preservation program intends to keep classic games playable ‘forever’

They’ve already been doing that, right? I assume this is marketing more than new or a change?

theangriestbird,
@theangriestbird@beehaw.org avatar

Yeah, it’s like they are creating a GOG seal for games that are basically only available because of the special work that GOG does.

knokelmaat,

Yeah I believe so. But I’m 100% for it, the work they do deserves recognition.

Buddahriffic, do games w Take-Two is selling its indie games label Private Division

How do you sell an indie game studio? Doesn’t sound very independent even before the sale to me.

josefo,

It was a indie publisher, not developer, big difference. They published titles from indie studios. Publishing is the act of funding, supervision, sometimes giving advice, doing a launch marketing campaign, etc. In short, indie publishers are key for a indie game to make money, as tradicional publishers tend to avoid them because they are high risk.

Still feels a bit pricey but I’m happy to hear about another season. Some day I might get one just to play the Lucas Pope game.

GammaGames,

Mars After Midnight was fun!

Holy shit I was just thinking about this thing at work and forgot what it was called

ClassifiedPancake, do gaming w Analogue’s 4K Nintendo 64 launches next year for $249

Damn I wish they would sell in Europe directly. Ordering anything from Analogue would have ridiculous shipping costs and customs duty so I never got around to ordering the Pocket either. I know there are cheaper options especially for game boy hardware but Analogues is just so sexy.

Gamers_mate, do gaming w Nintendo has reportedly shut down Ryujinx, the Switch emulator that was supposedly immune

The lesson here is to download every single working nintendo emulator as a backup and share it with your friends. Emulation is legal after all even if the Nintendo mafia try to shut it down.

Shiiiiiit. Now I’m really regretting not finishing TOTK on my PC back when I had that set up.

I wonder if Cemu is next…

theangriestbird,
@theangriestbird@beehaw.org avatar

It’s a fair question, but honestly I think Nintendo generally focuses on emulators that they perceive as affecting their current or near-future income. The Wii U is fully dead to Nintendo, at least for the moment.

joyjoy,

They’ll probably use one of these emulators in the future to emulate switch games on the switch 2.

theangriestbird,
@theangriestbird@beehaw.org avatar

but without any of the cool fps unlocker or upscaler mods

TheGalacticVoid,

I doubt that the Switch 2 needs emulation as it’s very likely to be the successor to the Tegra X1

dom, do gaming w Here are all the games enhanced by PS5 Pro

Last of us part 2 was remastered? Didn’t that only come out a couple years ago?

essteeyou, do games w Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling

What do I do with my PS5 discs if I buy the Pro one day? Are they just unusable? Will I be able to get a digital copy for free since I already paid them for the disc they stopped supporting?

It seems like there’s no sane migration path from PS5 with disc drive to the PS5 Pro.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

There’s an external drive accessory you can buy from them for about $80.

essteeyou,

Oh, ok then. Guess who didn’t read the article. :-)

CallMeButtLove,

I personally find it pretty horrendously insulting they put out a “Pro” console that can’t play the fucking game discs unless you pay them for an additional accessory.

Cethin,

Not a console gamer, but I’m sure they looked at the statistics and saw most players don’t buy a physical disk anyway. Why make the machine more expensive for an accessory that probably isn’t being used. On my computer I haven’t had a physical disk drive in probably 15y and haven’t ever thought that I needed one.

MudMan,

Well, sure, but that's also because on PC I can choose to buy DRM-free games and have guaranteed backwards compatibility for the foreseeable future. Plus it's not a closed system based on a console that launched with a drive. People (me included) already own PS5 discs, not from a previous generation, but from this one. It's bad enough that I need to keep my PS3 around to play PS3 games, it'd be absurd to not be able to play PS5 games I already own because the thing is physically unable to ingest them out of the box.

So yeah, for people in that position the Pro is a hundred bucks more expensive than it says on the sticker, which is already a ridiculously high number.
