Mafia 3 for soundtrack. Red Dead Redemption 1 or Halo for score!

Thanks. She is over her candy crush phase, but I will check out the other 2

Sacred Symbols is a good playstation centric podcast

Thanks. A quick search showed its on steam. I will check out

I think that the next direction to improve on is more characters. Being able to render a real wall of zombies that fills city streets, every single one bouncing off each other around like a real swarm.

Full scale, first person, battles the size the Romans had. Stuff like that. Small scale detail we've basically got what we're going to get, but just making the scenes grander and bigger can keep going before you hit that point of diminishing returns. A crowd of 1000, 10000, and 100000 all feel different in real life. I imagine past 100k characters in a scene you kinda stop caring, but that's a long, long way off.

Imagine a hitman game in a place like a video game convention, full scale, fully crowded.

The switch is 5 years old and is still selling more consoles yearly than the brand new gen that released just 2 years ago. It is the 3rd highest selling console of all time and is merely 30 million away from being number 1.

Fall guys

I was having this chat with a mate

Surely once you’ve got a PC that can handle ray tracing, will you ever need an upgrade?

I know there will be upgrades, but like you say, it’ll cost more, be less energy efficient, for smaller incremental improvements

Surely we must be nearing the sweet spot at which the improvements start to be in energy efficiency as well as the continual graphical improvements

Dota 2

I hear you, and I’m sure there’s a pretty sizable group that would, but I think that group is still in the minority. Smash is one of those games that sells consoles for sure, and one person that buys a switch and smash makes up for a couple of people that would only buy their games multiplatform. I doubt they’ll start dropping their IP on anything but their own consoles and mobile for a long while yet.

How do you know they're not already? You could be an NPC.

37 years

Real time gameplay will never look like live footage. 4k takes 4x the power as 1080p and looks marginally better, but still doesn't look 'real'. Imagine how many more time's you're going to have to 4x the cost to get very slight improvements.

All graphics follow this pattern. Diminishing returns for results. This is either some quantum computing shit or never happening. Computing technology will have to fundamentally change.

Something like: Roundguard, candy crush, Zuma?

Because Nintendo sucks. They keep milking their fans with the same 3 games and it’s just unbelievable how they’re still around.

Wow I can't believe I didn't recognize it 😂 thanks.

Im pretty sure 2048 is on the steam deck

Never

Heres the thing: I wont buy a console just for smash bros, same with a lot of people. I WOULD buy the game for $60, and so would a ton of other people. I think if they released the game on pc a few years after releasing the console, so for example lets say the switch released in 2017, they could release smash bros on pc a few years later, after everyone is done buying new switche.

Jet Set Radio / Future

..... Its just a flesh wound

Limiting to console makes it kinda difficult. That Pretty much excludes nearly every MMO and most RTS games that could be considered competitive. Like Eve Online or New World. Games that have a major focus on pvp.

On console you're pretty much stuck with FPS games or brawl/fighting games.

I guess Age of Empires 2 is out now on Xbox lol. But RTS games on a controller don't feel very good.

Chivalry 2 can be played in 3rd person and can be as competitive as you make it. Nothing more satisfying than smacking someone with a two handed hammer and seeing them rag doll.

The remaster is worth the wait, it's great all around

Friendly reminder to update your Stadia controller to Bluetooth if not done already

Shadow of the Colossus

I'm surprised noone else said it...
