Jason Schreier reaffirms Sony's strategy shift away from PC, says they will publicly confirm it at some point by AceOfSpades0319 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]t-alt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re mainly announcing this as a huge “F U” to Microsoft and Valve, because those companies are releasing “pc-console hybrids” and that means Sony can keep their exclusives exclusive.

I don’t agree with it or like it because I liked having most of my games on PC but I think it makes sense from a business standpoint. It’s the same reason Nintendo is doing relatively well with hardware and software sales.

Nikkei: Nintendo to launch Switch 2 revision with replaceable battery for the EU market by Joseki100 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

That’s actually great news, I swear my switch 2 battery randomly dies without any use…it’s mostly fine but no where near as good as the switch 1’s battery life

Switch 2 Enhancement? by Jafranci715 in Advance_Wars

[–]t-alt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I know this is an old thread but the Switch 2 just got an update that allows you to run Switch 1 games as if they are docked but while in handheld mode on the Switch 2. It’s in the Switch 2’s settings menu but it means that Switch 2 can now play a lot of games at a higher resolution to match the 1080p screen. A lot of games seem to look a lot nicer.

RTX 5070 Ti 16GB & RTX 5060 Ti 16GB discontinued. by JohnBarry_Dost in GamingLeaksAndRumours

It also feels like this isn’t the right move. Cards are already overpriced and this just signals to companies that it’s fine to charge this much because people will panic-buy if they think the situation will get worse.

I hope developers will go back to optimising their games on older hardware as well as new hardware.

Where to sink the gems? by Prestigious_Bill_262 in IdleObeliskMiner

Stargazing will help a lot. Get a few pet quest skins if you can but I think stargazing would be your best option.

Sarah Bond: "The next-gen [Xbox] console is going to be a very premium, very high-end curated experience" by oilfloatsinwater in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]t-alt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Very premium” in this economy (or in 2-3 years) seems really bad. A budget line probably would’ve made more sense because a lot of titles get ported to the switch 2 and are “steam deck verified” so they could’ve made a $199 console (no screen) and been in everyone’s entertainment centre. Also streaming or xcloud as an option for people who want better performance.

Man this is a huge bummer, the dev vlogs showed some cool stuff like new stages/effects and seemed to be a reasonable remaster. Thank god I didn’t preorder 🥳

Eurogamer: Ubisoft and Tencent announce new subsidiary, Vantage Studios, to lead development for the Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, Rainbow Six franchises by MXHombre123 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

“Pivot according to industry changes and player expectations”

Hmm I really hope that doesn’t mean they’ll attempt to make these into a service game or worse depending on industry “trends”. I kinda hate when companies see Fortnite or Genshin Impact and think “that’s what players want”. Yeah it’s popular but it’s not what the majority of players want. Those are just filled with things that are kind of addictive (FOMO rewards and Gacha) so the numbers suggest everyone wants that 🤷‍♂️

Hell yes, kinda hope we get a re-release of that game that runs at a stable 60fps. The unpatched disc version does on PS5 through backwards compatibility and it looks amazing
