the size of the framebuffer has nothing to do with how much power the device has to fill it up.

Even the crappiest integrated gpu is “4k” capable

Brought to you by the losers of the lawsuits… Losers like you and me.

I wanna see what the price is and what reviewers think of the screen and I might get one and sell my Switch OLED.

However, with these game prices I sure as hell am not getting any games, I‘ll play through my backlog games which I‘ll also check whether and which will get updates. It‘d be really nice if the games I have that play at 30 fps would play at 60 and at 1080p native. Maybe I’ll get physical copies of Switch 2 games heavily discounted later on.

zalgotext,

Maybe I’ll get physical copies of Switch 2 games heavily discounted later on.

Later on, as in, in like 30 years? Assuming physical Switch 2 games don’t become prized collector’s items like every other Nintendo consoles’ physical games

Cataphract,

cough amiibo cough

seriously though, Nintendo knows what they’re doing with their new limited scarcity tactics with trying to stay relevant. I think you’ll be able to find physical SNES games easier than switch 2 games in 30 years.

samus12345,

At $80-$90 for physical editions, I wouldn’t count on the used market helping that much.

trslim, do games w Grand Theft Auto VI and Grand Theft Auto Online Could Be Sold Separately; Rockstar Is Targeting Solid 30 FPS on Consoles, According to Former Animator

I feel like im the only person in the world who isnt excited for this game. I dont care for GTA, they just feel super clunky and sloppy to play. (I know, no one asked.)

stephen01king,

Yeah, no one plays GTA for the gameplay mechanics, they play them for the RP or the chaos, or both.

trslim,

Like, I play clunky games like Arma 3 and DS2, but neither bother me to the amount GTA does. Maybe I just dont like the core gameplay or somethin.

stephen01king,

I feel like GTA is definitely more clunky than those two games. Might be because the animation feels wrong for some reason.

AstralPath,

I played GTA IV mostly because the mechanics were fucking awesome. The driving was incredible for an open world game like that. Euphoria was dope.

The first seconds of the GTA V gameplay trailers hinted that they neutered the driving. Then they announced the driving was ported from a Midnight Club game and that was the last nail in the coffin for me.

Tried the game once at a friend’s house and the gameplay feel was so shit I never played it again. I knew I’d always be distracted by it.

GeeDubHayduke,

Spend 10 minutes trying to negotiate a doorway or ladder, and you call this clunky?!

arun,

You’re not the only one, friend. The only thing I care about is what sort of pricing hijinks they get up to, which could have industry-wide consequences.

Honestly I’m fine with this as long as the graphics justifies the framerate.

@GladiusB@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not. I don’t have a tricked out PC to wait LONGER THAN MY SON HAS BEEN ALIVE for a 30 frames AAA game.

That isn’t AAA. It’s pure corporate greed.

cimmerian,

This is going to be TARGETED 30fps for consoles…

Your overpriced pc will probably go above that. Calm down

You calm down. Arrogant prick.

Even if I don’t disagree games on consoles are better optimized, anti-consumer tactics they employ have made sure I will avoid them in the same way I’ve started to avoid Microsoft and Google products. It’s not about console vs PC, it’s about consumer media rights for me.

I enjoy these games and their premise but their dedication to not giving a shit about PC players is a real turn off.

reksas, (edited ) do games w Microsoft May Exit Gaming Business If Game Pass Subscribers off Console Don't Increase Enough by 2027

Gamepass is neat idea in theory, but I really dont trust corporations to not use it to ruin it all to get more money. If most people used gamepass, you propably couldnt at some point buy games regularly at all or only at crazy prices. Also modding games on gamepass is more difficult or just impossible sometimes due to files being locked.

@Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works avatar

I would rather it all die and force back to disks, or at least some guarantee you actually own the game.

All these services are going to become endlessly tiered with eventual extra dlc costs. They know most gamers spend $300 a year on games. So if Gamepass takes off, expect the base option to eventually be $15 a month, with tiers up to $40, maybe higher… who knows what whales will spend, especially if they throw in currency bonuses.

Then they will add in some in store currency and give the highest subscriber tiers extra Boxbux to spend on DLC… or probably literally loot boxes.

It would be neat to see support for a universal digital library system. Where it can only be checked to one person. If you want to sell the game, you uninstall and it provides you with a token number it generates. That unique number is tied to the copy of the game. You sell the token number, they now own the game. If they ever uninstall it, they get a new number to trade. Or libraries could lend them for free using the same system.

reksas,

On top of that, I bet they would make you buy the games anyway. You would just have to pay subscription for “privilege” of doing so.

NuPNuA,

Yeah, I’d like to know where that comes from, especially when so many people buy FIFA and Cod and that’s it for the year.

Put game pass on steam like EA play ez.

Gamepass includes EA Play.

Steam is a shit launcher. Google bloat.

While I don’t mind that Rebirth will be more open world, perhaps like fifteen, I never considered Intergrades linear design an “issue” that needed “solving”.

There’s nothing wrong with linear game design, quite the opposite. It lends itself to a more focused experience. Games often have so much “stuff” to do, half of it ends up irrelevant.

I really enjoyed the tightly paced experience that was Intergrade.

mindbleach, do games w Saints Row and Red Faction IPs Will 'Live On' at Plaion, Says Deep Silver

I propose a Red Faction retro spinoff. Cash in on the underused franchise and the modern boom-shoot glut by doing a voxel-based game where everything, and I mean everything, is destructible. Like if Teardown was a setpiece-heavy FPS pretending to be from the Delta Force / Outcast era. Low fidelity keeps costs down, the genre is weirdly underused for all its indie-demo examples, and if the immersive sim curse kills any sequels then they’re only back to square one.

weirdo_from_space,

A good version of original Red Faction would be great.

mindbleach,

It’s on GOG. I guess it has trouble running in Windows 10?

… why does this chicken have its dick out.

weirdo_from_space,

I mean the original Red Faction isn’t very good. I’d like to see a proper version of that game. A new entry that takes all the good ideas of the original and properly executes them.

As a refugee from r/bloodborne I can’t be hurt again. I’ll install it day 1 if it releases but choose to be sad, salty and bathed in the old blood until that day.

dual_sport_dork, do gaming w [Borderlands 4] The more info that comes out about it, the less I'm interested in it.
@dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world avatar

I kind of get the thing about the map even without seeing the world design of the new game, because even Borderlands 1-3 (especially 3) already had a lot of vertical aspects to many of their maps. The prevalence of paths looping over other paths, hills, tunnels, holes, inexplicably impassable ditches dividing the map, and generally the entire path to anywhere being designed like the queue at an amusement park ride made using the 2D minimap to actually navigate anywhere basically impossible. (And the main full screen map wasn’t much better.) Showing your local terrain, such as it even did, was not really very helpful because even if you tried to use it to proceed in a straight line to your target you would inevitably find yourself blocked by an invisible wall surrounding waist high pile of rubble, and that the actual way to get there required looping all the way around the map anticlockwise, with nine switchbacks, four gates, and a one-way cliff jump in between.

At the end of the day it’s a fancy radar only useful to help you snout out nearby enemies, especially in the ever-so-many instances where your current mission objective outright requires you to find where each and every one of those stupid red diamonds is hiding so you can murder them all to proceed.

So I hope there is at least still a local enemy radar. They need to either make their map usable and 3D (like e.g. Doom 2016 did) or fix their level pathing so it’s not like a tornado just tore through the spaghetti factory.
