Actually that is harder. Those are likely not optimized for the console, so their improvements are coming from brute force. That means that as far as showing how stronger than the previous generation the Series X really is. This is really the best type of test.
It would however be better if he provided numbers as well.
Just put XCloud on the Switch already. Having a official way to stream games to the console would be great.
Probably not the main reason. But it also likely discourage at least some from buying it. Paying the same for less content is just not a very good deal overall.
From a gameplay perspective? Yes, Tracer would be at bottom of the barrel as far as fitting goes.
From a bussiness perspective? No, Tracer makes the most sense being the mascot and all.
I mean you kind of answered yourself: "feel like this might be more of a business move by acti/blizz". That is why it make sense.
It would only make sense. Though I wish they had used another character, Tracer is fine and all. But there is so many characters in Overwatch that I feel would translate better to Smash. Like Reinhardt and D.VA
1. Because it's just a update to the Fire Tv Game Controller, that already feature that style.
2. Because Luna run on Windows and the XInput controllers are by far the most supported across the board.
I think that it already have two huge advantages over Stadia. It's subscription based, so the enter price is slower while the benefits are higher. And it have the full backing of Twitch, so if Amazon play their cards right they could get a respectable userbase from there.
But streaming as a whole is not something that I see becoming a dominant force now. However in 5-10 years it will probably be much more mainstream.
That would be correct. While there very few gaming benchmarks about the T4. It should theoretically be in the same league as a RTX 2070 - only a bit higher.
And that is most likely the reason why there will not be 4K on launch.
That is interesting. So know we have Luna running the Windows versions of the games, Stadia that requires a specific port to Linux and Game Pass that currently run from actual console boards.
I really hope that this will become the norm. Because suporting the Playstation would only hurt this sort of game, its developers and the fans.
Pretty good decision to just cut the PS4 off the equation. For the fanboys that still don't believe that Sony is screweing developers over with their new guidelines. This is what Inti Creates president said a while ago:
"Can you talk a bit about the future of Inti Creates’ other titles like Mighty / Gal Gunvolt and Gal Gun?
Aizu: “For Gal Gun, we have no intentions of ending the series, but as you may know things with some of the platform holder...
They can't really do that because of TDP. The Series S is made to work with about 100 W. Just to put into perspective the Switch works under 15 W. And even a low-end card like GTX 1050 (far below the Series S GPU) still need about about 75 W to function.
In practical terms it wouldn't be viable because there would be no battery life to the device and in a slim form factor it would basically burn. And there is a big limit of how much you can scale back a SoC, so mak...
By far the most interesting offer in my opinion. AAA options are really poor with basically only Metro Exodus, RE VII and Control.
But as far as AA and Indie goes? There is so many options. They have almost all WayFoward catalog with Shantae, Might Force and River City Girls. Basically the entire of the SteamWorld franchise as well as Focus offerings like The Surge 1 & 2 as well as A Plague Tale. And the most surprising Nihon Falcom games like Trails of Cold Steel III ...
I think the issue with that is what exactly they would do with such a studio? Like there are a couple of franchises coming from Japan that are enormous here in the west. But there are also a lot that either are not really that worth it or have way too strong fanbases in Japan.
So if they went for something smaller but reasonable like NIS for example. They wouldn't have a market, because computers don't sell in Japan neither do the Xbox. And NIS games in the west do...
It's cool for the sake of preservation. But the MGS PC ports in particular were pretty rough and while looks like GOG managed to make they run on a modern system. They did not managed to fix all the issues: "Most of the popular PC controllers are supported (with the exception of PS4 one), however, trigger buttons are not possible to bind for XBOX 360 and XBOX One controllers."
That said. Running the game through Steam controllers mapping software should at le...
I mean there isn't much that they would have to do. Both next gen consoles are backward compatible. And the game look pretty sharp on PC already, so I don't think they would have to specifically develop next gen console assets.
The big issue is that the whole Surface line is supposed to be moving on to ARM based systems in the next couple of years. So even if they are developing a compatibility layer (that they most likely are) for games the optimization would be very complex. And developing specifically for the device would likely not be viable.
They could go the route of the small notebook with built-in controllers like the GPD Win and the OneGx1. But those are extremelly expensive and there is...
Only the really big fanatics pick up a console at launch. For the average consumer is better to wait a little, so the library can take shape and any manufacture issues can be found/avoid.
Really doubt that it turn the Switch into "just another device". The console would only gains with it as would it users.
I do agree that is unlikely that Nintendo would allow such service. After all the service aspect of the Switch is worse than what you can find in a "$50 toddler first tablet".
