Impressive tech but I just can't understand who this appeals to. Why would you want to play a game like this on a handheld?

Why would anyone play games on an handheld then? Because you're remote and you need portable? This has cross saves too with any platform you have cyberpunk 2077.

Personally it won't be for me because I play this baby on PC ultrawide with path tracing but there's clearly a market for it. Just like I bought Doom 2016 on switch 1 when I had it on PC, just for curiosity and playing it while away.

Witcher 3 sold millions on Switch 1 and that made even less sense, it was a much lower quality port than what cyberpunk 2077 looks like now on Switch 2.

What if GTA6 got delayed because they just now got Switch 2 dev kits and they have work to do to make it run well on it.

GTA 6 is designed with current gen in mind

2077 was able to run on an Xbox one...

Well, it booted up on an Xbox One....

Although I imagine after patches, it likely is "playable" on the X1

Looks pretty good.
Having grown up with the gameboy it's still crazy to me games like Cyberpunk now run on handhelds.

Nah. Even if they could get it working (which I don't think is such a crazy idea), Rockstar is all about the double dipping and getting people to buy the game multiple times on different platforms.

They'd just release it later on (maybe alongside the Pc version)

Still curious to find out how it actually performs in handheld mode.

One of the things that held last gen back was that it was running on HDD. That maybe one of the larger differences here that helps Switch 2.

Nah, it got delayed because R* is shit at project management.

Everyone who was really deeply concerned about how bad this ran on Switch 2 is relieved now, right? Right?

Oh, they all went on vacation the same week, what a coincidence

 

[DeepEnigma]

It was already posted, how did they get the footage? And BTW Keanu speaking Japanese is kinda funny to see lol

You take that back,

 

[Pop]

DLSS is magic

Does look lower res though, still unacceptable fps

Good question for people who have tried it on Steam Deck.

Remember part of the appeal of the Switch is that it switches, there is no need to commit to handheld or docked. This is kinda similar to playing it on a console, only the console is ultra portable, and can be played by itself between the safety of big TVs and power sources.

We already saw the goal posts shift and now it's being compared to current gen consoles.

The longer we let them talk the better the future post with the flowchart of goalpost moving.

Looks great for a handheld game, damn

Not handheld footage, is it?

Same reason some want to play on other handhelds and "table" consoles.

 

[future_pinoy]

Looks great and surprisingly good for a handheld.

 

[geary]

Switch 2 must be in the ballpark of last gen consoles or even less performant. I wonder if the can patch the game to run decently on PS4/XB One.
