They are not terrible and Sony has a great track record of going back and fixing them. But we are talking specifically about stutters on launch and for that particular issue, it's basically 50/50.
Horizon, Returnal, Sackboy and Uncharted - > stutters.
Spider-Man, Miles Morales, GoW and Days Gone -> No stutters.
It's so balanced that almost feels on purpose.
I mean it's 50/50 at this point with Sony. So there is hope.
"Used" is a very strong word, this series has appeared in Sony hardware twice. With a spin-off back in the PS3 era, that is literally the worst-reviewed game in the series and more recently with Rune Factory 4 Special, which also released for Xbox One.
Given that neither the PS nor the Xbox got Rune Factory 5 and the only comments on Rune Factory 4 Special sales were specific to the Switch. I assume the game simply didn't sell well enough for them to justify k...
I would argue that the Steam Deck takes the best value crown. It's $100 more expensive, but you get a much larger library, it's portable with the option of connecting to an external display, compatible with many input devices including the Switch's own controllers, multiplayer is free, voice chat is not garbage and if already has a Steam library, chances are that you already start with dozens of games available to play.
Plus if you are into emulation a big chunk...
Good, the game in the current state is very annoying to play.
On one side, I do like that you can take the console out and use it as a normal unit. On the other, they could have made something better than this.
The controller is pretty cool though.
This makes sense, there is probably not enough room to improve performance in a significant matter right now. Especially if they want to keep the thermal and power consumption profile of the current device.
That said, other improvements would be welcome. Things like a better screen, removable battery, etc. Could be achieved on a Steam Deck V2 or something like that.
Make sense, the Steam Deck has streamlined so much about PC gaming that really made it a perfect little machine for folks that just want to sit down, relax and play a game or two. And for those that are less casual, the potential in the machine is also incredible, between tunning your games, modding and emulation.
Now make a Steam Controller 2.0 Valve. All 10 of us that loved the original are waiting.
Easy to fix, just close up the Warrington office as well as Sledgehammer UK. Fire everyone and leave the country /s
I mean we are talking about people that for some reason took a computer with a fancy case as the pillar of their entire personality. We shouldn't expect much from them.
I mean contrary to the first one which was basically science fair hardware, this is actually a competent piece of hardware. So I do hope that it manages to sell more than 5M if anything to keep Sony on the VR scene.
Is sort of confusing marketing, but as far as I'm aware there is no such thing as available only via streaming. Because in order to have access to Game Pass Streaming you need a Game Pass Ultimate subscription and with that, you also get a subscription to EA Play for both console and PC that allows you to download the games as well.
So this announcement is more to say that this game that until now was available only for download play can now be streamed as well. I belie...

You do realize that is not an argument, right? That just means that the majority of those types of games fail on the same thing.
Probably because of the same reasons, they are mostly very straight-up affairs that take very few or zero risks and just try to be fun for the moment. That makes them safe bets for folks that don't really like to go out of their zone of comfort which means that sales will be solid especially if paired with a good m...
I think the point is that Horizon is a successful series. However, it's also one that fails to leave any sort of legacy, short of the release periods the conversation around the games is basically non-existent.
The last time I saw a console dying like this was Zeebo. And this was literally a smartphone in a console shell with the cheapest parts available. Having that occur on a Nintendo device is definitely not something that I expected.
I just checked and mine is still working. Though I think the Gamepad battery is dead.
You know that the article is really well-researched when the author calls RetroArch a straight-up emulator.
Swery and bad takes do walk hand in hand. So I'm not particularly surprised by this take, though to be fair it is related to a DLC launch so I'm not sure if he is talking about updates in general or DLC, expansions, etc.
Well, I don't see any other choice other than continuing with the upgrade patch. If they try to go back to the traditional home console market they would be stomped dead by the competition, exactly because they do not have the support of the 3rd parties nor the powerful hardware. And contrary to what happened to the Wii U, they do not have a handheld that would be able to carry them.
And if they went back to sole handheld experiences, the question then becomes "wh...
To be fair, not being a "hybrid" system at this point is just a matter of choice if they do end up making another portable device. I mean just slap an HDMI port to it and call it a day.
And I don't see Nintendo going with a traditional home console anymore. They wouldn't compete in power and after the Wii U, I don't think they would risk it. Especially when they "don't have" a pure handheld line anymore.
What a surprise that a game that had all the makings of a mediocre game, that cost $70 and skipped platforms had lackluster sales. And while we are at that also very surprising that a series of cheap-looking games, released with barely any marketing for anything between $50 and $60 also failed to perform.
No one could see this coming. /s
