Agree with you as well. Anything that enhances or adds new functionality wouldn’t be part of a pro upgrade of the same. I feel like Nintendo tried desperately on the Switch 2 to bring new features, that could have been developed and thought off after they scrapped the Pro idea. So they came up with some software features like video streaming and an upgraded controller with mouse support.
In the Digital Foundry talks they talked about it. And it makes sense. The Pro was rumored to come out in 2020 or later with tech around that time. But as 2020 was a big year for Switch 1, Nintendo might have changed their direction. Switch 2 has tech that could be from that time and it would make sense, as it is similar to what a Switch Pro would actually be.
I have yet to play, only did the tutorial for quick testing. So I don’t speak from personal experience, but from what I read so far.
Its more or less like the Splitgate 1. But they have a new game engine to better support and work on it (that’s why its a new entry in series, instead an update). Some people say they don’t like the hero abilities they added into. I don’t know to what extend this is and how game dependent these are. But one huge plus point to me is a map creator for the community. One of the biggest issues I had in game 1 was that not enough content and maps were available.
On the negative side is, that there is a Battle Pass. At least for me this is negative, but the game is Free to Play. I assume everyone who liked the first game will like this one too, but can’t be sure right now. They also seem to have too many players for their servers.
It just says only Steam Deck and Legion Go S are officially supported. But you can install it on other devices too (people did already).
If you are interested in trying out SteamOS on your device and providing feedback, you can use the SteamOS Recovery Image and follow the instructions here.
The update is that you can officially download and install SteamOS on other devices.
Does this mean I can install SteamOS on any device? We expect most SteamOS users to get SteamOS preinstalled on a Steam Deck or device that incorporates SteamOS. The only devices officially supported on SteamOS right now are Steam Deck and Legion Go S.
We are working on broadening support, and with the recent updates to Steam and SteamOS, compatibility with other AMD powered PC handhelds has been improved. If you are interested in trying out SteamOS on your device and providing feedback, you can use the SteamOS Recovery Image and follow the instructions here.
You mean an L-take? I’m not sure why. SteamOS is a gaming oriented os, with specific user interface and update cycles and features towards that. I think its the right call by Valve to put this note that this is not a general purpose desktop os meant to replace it. I know about the desktop mode (have Steam Deck myself).
The point is, the goal and usage is not meant and to be considered a full replacement for a desktop. People can decide themselves to do it anyway, its just not the goal. So totally not an L take here. Unless I misunderstood your point.
For anyone wondering what this is, Dinosaur Planet is a prototype from Rare for the N64. The game was cancelled and reworked as Starfox Adventures for Gamecube.
Don’t make yourself (and others) false hope, it will not happen. Why? In the past Bungie officially said they don’t want support Linux. This company is quiet hostile towards Linux for whatever reason. That’s why I don’t have any hope for this game to be playable on the Deck (or in Linux general for that matter).
Sure things can change sometimes, but I would not hope on this based on speculation. Not being the party pooper here, just trying to be realistic based on history.
