It is nice to see them trying to push a much lower price point with this device than their usual offerings. Sadly though this comes with a 4-year old APU and the outdated and much less powerful Vega 8 graphics.
The magic of the Steam Deck when it was released was Valve's exclusive access to RDNA2 based graphics on a low-tdp chipset.
When buying a Steam Deck competitor you should get one with at least an AMD 6800U chip. The Next Lite also comes with the freely available...
What is your point here? Star Citizen isn't available on any other system. I'm definitely not a fan of SC and especially their monetization, but there is no doubt that they are pushing a ton of technical boundaries and developing systems for stuff like gameplay, physics, planetary rendering completely from scratch.
SC seems far from being finished so ofc it is gonna run bad even on a high end system.
You could have made a much more valid point with talking...
It is now much closer in price to AMD's 7900XTX. 4080 and 7900XTX are usually on par when it comes to shader-based performance, while the 4080 offers much higher RT performance and the benefit of Nvidia's proprietary and more advanced upscaling techniques.
This means that AMD might lower the price of their flagship GPU which hopefully brings down pricing of all mid-range GPUs below it.

Meteor Lake is getting good reviews so far and the Arc drivers are supposedly getting better with each update.
That makes me cautiously optimistic about this device. With a Z1 there probably wouldn’t have been much to differentiate it from the Ally and it’s nice to see at least some competition from Intel.
I’m most excited to see XeSS on a device like this, still no DLSS, but better than FSR2 imo. These handhelds could benefit most from sophistic...
This is pretty poor compared to VR1 especially the output from Sony themselves. Only two games are VR exclusives from SIE
Thank you. As someone who religiously followed the Vita from the announcement as NGP to the slow death I hear so many misconceptions about why it failed.
The launch lineup was probably one of the strongest in history.
Another common thing i hear is the price of the memory cards which yes was annoying and too expensive back then, but wasn’t as much of a dealbreaker most people are claiming it to be.
This was before most games were sold digitally and most vita g...

Yeah. I also want Valve to stay a monopoly so that they never have to put any effort on their storefront and we can keep the horrendous Steam UI forever and ever
It does it worse than the WiiU Gamepad released 10 years ago. If Sony had some way of directly connecting to PS5 the Portal could have been much better
„And just like when you’re streaming on an iPad or other device, there will be times when it looks near flawless as well as times when you notice some prominent artifacting by looking slightly closer. And of course, there can still be times when shit just goes haywire or the Portal doesn’t immediately connect to the PS5 — because Wi-Fi, am I right?“
This basically confirmed my initial fears with this device. Remote play still seems to have the same problems it had back on V...
There is a lot more geometric detail on the buildings compared to the first game though
He is not wrong about remote-play not being a great experience on phones. Sony hasn't really done anything to convince me that it is different on the Portal. I always had struggle with visual artifacts, lag and connection loss and overall subpar picture quality when using remote-play on various phones and devices all the way back to the Vita.
If the Portal somehow manages to have a connection as stable as the WiiU gamepad but with crisp image quality then i gladly pay t...
They didn't even update the UI to a higher resolution 😒
Agreed. Not every game needs open levels with optional objectives.
In this day and age the "CoD rollercoaster" campaign became quite unique compared to most game releases.

Power efficiency is not true at all this gpu generation. Nvidia‘s 4000 series is more power efficient that AMD 7000
I would pay additional money to get sone kind of dongle for native PC support for this thing. Since Sony doesn’t seem interested I just wait till the community does it for free
Modders doing devs work again. Great job SammiLucia. I hope DF takes a look at this
It also mentions DLSS on the store page!
You are correct . That is Sam Lake who is actually a creative director at remedy. I love that he is know in Alan Wake 2
I actually kind of like them branching out and giving developers creative freedom over the IP.
At the same time I also think they should have a big main title like Silent Hills that actually shows what the franchise is supposed to be and what direction they are taking.
Right now we have a remake and some AA looking games and no one knows what the future of SH is going to be.
You can hardly blame pc gaming as pioneers. It was Oblivion the first had a controversy about additional horse armor. The thing that really broke the dam though was 100% mobile games
