Don’t miss any of our video features or…
Does this count as another Skyrim port?
It makes no sense to get a Switch now, if only just if you really want to play Nintendo games. I'm pretty sure regardless of how the controllers feel in the Deck, it will be much better than those disgusting Switch controllers. I'm happy about this announcement and I will definitely get one.
I smell a flop
The only real downside is that there's no way to upgrade these things. I'm also a little worried about hitting the trackpads while using the sticks. Love the concept though.
Aren’t PC Elitists too fat to walk around with a HH? Just kidding ya bonks. Looks cheap and sort of dumb. AoE should be a blast on it with the Magnifying Glass accessory. Shit, I wrote this during the ads and did not see the guy in the video and feel bad, but not bad enough to remove the fat shaming joke, because it was a Joke.
This console will go down as having the greatest day one launch lineup of all time!
I'm in
Switch clone switch clone switch clone. Valve isn’t creative they have to copy and paste. They can’t even make games anymore they’re tan by sheep now
If it manges reasonable hours of battery life and doesn't become a frying pan forty five minutes into a demanding game then this will be definite buy for me.
This constant background music is God awful
Pretty cool idea definitely a collector’s item
but can it run crysis?
VERY excited for this, but I just thought of something… how would docked mode work? would u need a separate controller for that? I mean I guess that would work, but you couldn't take advantage of the extra buttons/pads on the deck if your using a PS controller
But can you play Genshin Impact on this thing?
Hope developers support it, it all comes down to that. Games have to be able to be played on it, good.
Come on Sony make a portable. I have over a hundred digital games. I would buy that thing day one
You can easily run the latest AAA games from SD-card. Modern SD-Cards are faster than HDD's and some are near as fast as SSD's.
The 512G type is equipped with an anti-glare glass screen, so what is the screen material made of for the 64G and 256G types? Plastic screen? That doesn't sound good 🙁
This is basically a laptop with a 7 inch screen and a portable system that is using software that requires you to be online to play your games?! lol
There's already cheaper systems out for emulation and the Switch is a far more focusing gaming machine. This is a cool but ultimately niche device that doesn't really have seem to have a place in the gaming market..? Nintendo certainly aint gonna be worried lol
you can install your own nvme drive they all have the same internals
so buy the cheapest one and crack it oppen and install an m2 nvme it will 100% be cheaper
Shut up and take my money
Just like with the index. Valve jumps in and kicks ass at just the right time.
Glad there is going to be another product to compete with Nintendo and challange them to create better devices and lower the radiculous price tag of £350. I have bought my switch lite for £100 and I would not pay a penny more for it!
this is so perfect, i can finally play all the old games with emulators while laying in bed
But can you mod your games like fallout?
the micro sd solution is what is currently being used on switch and its plenty fast. I dont understand why that is a referenced sticking point as a con quite as heavily. I would much rather spend the 20 bucks on a san disc ultra/ extreme to get another 256gb of storage than spend the 129 or 200 dollars to get it in the nvme tbh. The 529 and 600 dollar options are simply to big an ask and price tag for 720p gaming hand held or otherwise in 2021.
400 with an SD card and simple docking solution with a usb c dock to keep that total cost still around 450 is a much better deal and the one i am going with in my opinion.
Nice ?
first person i've heard mention ableton on the deck, I definitely want to try it lol
Great and exciting for everyone looking for more a powerful piece of tech in the handheld space.
Unfortunately not something exciting for me because i already own a switch and a gaming laptop. But for the pc market and those who want a gaming pc on the go or a cheaper alternative to gaming laptops this looks like a good buy.
Playing GTA5 on Steamdeck
After they ditch steam controller and steam VR, what's the chance they'll ditch this one
How many SKUs again?
Preordered the 649 one. this will be awesome.
god, this is so pointless
