This sounds like something Devolver was joking around with during one their E3 presentations.

Well, I doubt it will have anywhere near the popularity of Nintendo Switch, if it even gets to be produced en masse, but thanks for the information, da_fox.

You're welcome. And yeah, it might not reach Switch popularity, but it's still a cool idea. Something worth saving for, if it ever does make it to market.
 
This issue is that it probably won't be able to play what a lot of people looking for something like that will want to play on it.

If you're into indie titles that don't need much power to run, that thing is probably nice. Even then, a lot of titles like that will be running on medium-ish settings.

However, if you're casual gamer #4305606 and you want to play Skyrim, Witcher 3, Cyperpunk 2077, CoD, or other AAA titles on the thing, they're going to look and run like hot garbage.

It's a pretty niche product for PC gaming basically. That's not a bad thing, but thinking it will do anything near to as well as something like the switch is kind of delusional.

It's basically a tablet with some game controllers built into the sides of it and probably a gyro. Basically, anything that needs more than the average mobile tablet game isn't going to run well on that thing at all.

I know, it's for the best but.....painful to hear none the less.
 
Beloved 4x strategy game, Master of Magic, now has it's first DLC... 25 years after it's launch. I'm so excited!

The Meme has returned! Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster is going to include Dante from the Devil May Cry series!


 
Prince of Persia is back. I fell like they've tried making the Prince look more like the actor who played him in the film... Also, the dagger looks awful.

Strange. The environments look a lot nicer. The character models...not so much?
 
It's all the models in general I think. I don't think the weapons look all that good either.

I'm trying to get a feel for how the consoles (current and next-gen) are priced. Attempting to use amazon.com ... has been challenging (surprising to me!). There are so many models+bundles that its not an easy task. Regardless, I created the following,

(prices are in USD)

$599.99 = Microsoft Xbox One X 1TB Console
$499.00 = Xbox Series X
$499.99 = Xbox One S 1TB All-Digital Edition Console
$399.00 = PlayStation 4 Pro 1TB Console
$389.00 = Xbox One S 1TB Console
$367.95 = PlayStation 4 Console - 1TB Slim Edition
$299.00 = Xbox Series S (Digital only)

Is this accurate? The odd-looking prices for xbox one s and ps4 have me wondering if I got a sale price or not - but all I'm interested in is the price without a sale or game attached.

Imagine if Nintendo slashed the price on the Switch a month before those consoles came out (it won't happen because they can't even keep them in stock right now, so no point in lowering the price, but that would be such a troll move :D )

I can finally complete my pricing table!

PS: Dammit .. just realized I posted this in the wrong thread initially. Will delete that other post...
 
While having the prices is nice, it's less important in knowing what games are going to be out at launch. After all, there's no point in buying the cheaper console, if it's got no games on it I want to play.
