The Matrix Awakens ran on the console presented by Nintendo with “graphics comparable to current generation consoles from Sony and Microsoft” , citing that medium. The demo included “advanced” ray tracing and used Nvidia’s artificial intelligence upscaling technology, the well-known DLSS .
So Nintendo didn't share specs. And they saw a handheld Unreal 5 demo that they thought looked as good as ps5/xbsx. But it was also running DLSS so it might have running at significantly lower resolutions.
But on a handheld screen that's harder to tell. And Nintendo are masters of making games running at low resolutions and levels of detail look like they are a lot better. So there's zero chance it's actually as capable as a PS5 but there is a decent chance they can run Nintendo games that would appear to be. So maybe TOTK at 4k@60 with higher resolution textures? Honestly that'd be plenty.
I've been enjoying the game quite a bit, honestly. There are some shortcomings, namely the menu navigation can be cumbersome to learn since hotkeys bring you between some menus but not all. But after a couple days I've gotten most of them sorted - in space you can select the objective marker and fly to it in space, no menu required and it's not full fast travel.
Right now, my biggest persisting issue is simply that quests aren't categorized by planet and so it's a lot of menu swapping to get between them and plot out a the most efficient route between galaxies. However, technically that doesn't matter very much because grav-jumping has a lenient distance for the quests but it still feels nice and so I'd appreciate a better sorting system.
Quests are visible through the mission menu (hotkey L) and on the planetary map's (hotkey M) settlement/outpost locations in small subtext when you go to the planet in the map. For the mission menu, there's a key to show on map but it's a little time consuming, and for the planetary map it's nice to see there's a quest there but it's not optimal for planning out the order of your quests.
Aside from all that map/menu shenanigans though, which again by now (~4 days with 2d 10h in save time) I've honestly gotten mostly used to, the game feels pretty solid. With RayTracing on a 5800x3D and a 10GB 3080 with a variable refresh rate I've found the framerate to be acceptable, large areas will slow down the framerate but responsiveness is still fine. I've yet to come across a combat scenario where frames dip. Smaller to medium areas all run phenomenally.
In the total time I've played I've come across 1 quest with somewhat bugged logic. Without spoilers, there's a hidden-ish settlement that has a leader and residents who can turn against you. If you kill any of the residents, the rest of the friendly AI will eventually turn on you, making the quest on console likely to be completely bugged. However on PC this is solved with console command to turn that faction's bounty ID reset to 0. I believe in efforts to solve this I also caused some crashing, as a couple times the game crashed around the remedies. But, I completed the quest as I wanted to with overall less than 30 minutes of bug-troubleshooting. This could very well be fixed as part of the day 1 patch as well, we shall see.
Other than that instance of the quest bugging and the game crashing, the game entirely before then was bug free. An AI pathing issue here and there, one instance of an NPC I was talking to starting to float to the ceiling mid conversation. And since the completion of that semi-bugged quest there have been no lingering effects so far it seems, no crashing and the remaining people and area seems fine.
All in all, I've been pleasantly surprised with the game. The quests are interesting and pretty well varied, the faction interactions are abundant and not very limiting but lots of potential for alternative style playthoughs regardless of what you level into. Not sure if there's a level cap but theoretically you can fill out your perk skills quite far. However the traits and factions you align yourself with give you a lot of different options and could bring lots of replay value. (Brief example, there is a religious group that attacks non-sensically. You can start as one of these, and I'm assuming learn the sense of their attacks.) I am a space scoundrel who is wanted with parents, I'm a corporate espionage agent, undercover CIA agent who is tasked with taking down a space pirate faction, and I became a space ranger amidst all this. Honestly, it's sick.
There's a few varied actions that are locked behind perks, similarly you could go the entire game without building an outpost or using the ship builder. I'd suggest seeing which locked skills you may be interested in, but otherwise the outposts feels like a decent iteration of FO4 (which I wasn't huge on). So far, outposts are OK, I don't need them but I can see value in them. The idea of building a home is more fun which can also be done. Ship building is actually tons of fun, but that's something I'm also interested in. I found a ship that I love, I upgraded it and then expanded upon it and damn, it's rewarding. It did take some time to build, but it was time I enjoyed and on PC there were some quirks but they were minimal and I adapted to them quickly.
It's a fun game with some a few minor menu-flow that can add up to feel more annoying than they might actually be. I've gotten used to it by now though.
P.S. thoroughly inspect your first housing situation, you can't miss the residence at the Lodge but you can miss the infinite storage space safe tucked away in the far left corner. Anyone complaining about storage didn't quite look hard enough! I also am a collector but I've been adamantly avoiding the misc. items in this game, only going for everything else. Inventory management really isn't that bad. Plethora of 150kg followers who are affected by equipped items (say, +50kg -40% resource weight modifiers) plus ship cargo and upgrades and weapon/armor displays... Overencumberment also scales, so if you're +5 over it's almost nothing if you're +100 or more over your stamina drains quickly. As someone who was genuinely annoyed in FO4 and set inv weight often in Skyrim, I genuinely haven't felt the need to in Starfield. It gives you every opportunity to hoard so you can sell store and display to your hearts content. I should probably start leaving weapons behind, I have 300k credits...
Baldur's Gate 3 doesn't really have an encumbrance system. It has a "send to camp" button that basically negates 99% of that. Camp supplies? Send to camp. Bunch of valueable loot items you only intend on selling "pick up and add to wares" the "send to camp". When you're ready to sell things between adventuring shove it all in a backpack, give it to someone stronk, and teleport to a merchant.
While I do think encumbrance in a Bethesda game is pretty pointless I do believe it serves a purpose in BG3. Barrels full of all sorts of liquids are extremely useful, their drawback is that they weigh a ton. Encumbrance exists to prevent you from being a barrelmancer. I think you can also pick up any chests, so you can just carry away all the chests you can’t unlock and then break them somewhere safe (or move them to you lockpicking character etc).
One of my questions on Starfield - can I roleplay as a hoarder, picking up every possible piece of junk - cups, pencils, etc - and store it all in a couple of cabinets or containers as some kind of infinitely huge repo?
...because I swear to god, for whatever reason that seems to be my favorite part of Skyrim and Fallout 3 for whatever reason.
If that mechanic isn't in Starfield then I lose like half my motivation to play :)
Based on what I was reading last night, there's a chest in The Lodge basement that has unlimited storage space. The trick is, you just have to be able to get your stuff there.
I’m a pack-rat in games and ive only hit the first (of three) stage of encumbrance two or three times in Baldur’s Gate and I’m in the final act. And my character is a bard with 8 strength so he has no muscles which means the lowest encumbrance threshold. I wouldn’t consider encumbrance even a little bit of a problem in BG3 since if you ever do become encumbered you can just move stuff from your player character to one of the NPCs used as a pack mule.
You can also send stuff from your bag directly to the camp chest without having to go there. On pc it's right click send to camp, on ps5 it's square button send to camp. I'm not sure if there is a limit as to how much you can send there i havent hit it yet if there is. You can access camp from anywhere but a red zone so no real reason to carry what you are not using.
For some reason I had terrible FPS drops in the original Cyberpunk from time to time - had to reload the game every half an hour or hour to restore FPS. If that would be fixed - I'm in. Liked the game otherwise, so all I need is some new quests, which PL should provide
