Let’s see:

• There is already Steam for Mac, which a great catalog and sales.
• The only appeal of an App Store game is cross-platform… in Apple devices.
• Consoles (with controls) are cheaper than any Apple product compatible with AAA games. (This includes the Steam Deck).
• There are no platform-selling exclusives.
• There is no exclusive hardware features.
• Major most-played games are not available OOTB: PUBG, Roblox, Rocket League, Genshin Impact, Apex Legends, Call of Duty, CSGO2.

Yeah, I get the sentiment: why. But Apple has to start with something, and if they want people to buy games they will need a bigger catalog, and for that they need to keep their porting tools easier to implement.

I don’t remember quite well, but it sold well, but not well enough for a AAA franchise.

Capcom is on a row giving fans what they want and making millions from it. Compare that to Square Enix.

Common rule: AMD for Linux, NVIDIA for anything else.

I don’t think it’s a scam or a fraud (legally), but it’s really an undercooked assistant that is $170 too much.

I think that CZ has something, but eventually we will have to wait and let it cook, to check how the company (and maybe the device) are entangled with cryptos.

There are few games that define a genre, transforming them into games for history books, and that’s Super Metroid. It refined the exploration-by-abilities genre we know now as “Metroidvania”, much like Dead Souls defined the “Souls” genre, and so forth.

On the other hand, it also had it lows. Like that entry you don’t talk about that we hope someday is declared non-canon and all copies destroyed by spontaneous combustion.

Yeah, but the writing was on the wall when it came to Xbox Game Pass a few months later. If Microsoft deal was better than burning its sales, then that was it.

Also, there was some other rumors that the sequel wasn’t green lit immediately since the sales of the first game didn’t meet EA expectations. Who knows it that can be attributed to missing Halloween and holidays.

I think Dead Space 2 remake will never come. Motive is working on the next BF and the Iron Man game, that look like safer investments than a sequel of a game that failed commercially (in their books).

Given the transition window, I can guess Control 2 will be ready for 2025.

It should be minimal. I think it’s more about the broad appeal, focused marketing, and the good quality of the releases. You got Persona on Xbox, that’s brings people in.

I’m eager to check the calendar of Japanese games for this year.i don’t know if they blow up all cartridges in January or there is more to come.

I think it will depend on what Microsoft promises to the team. Eventually the funding needs to como from someone, and seems that Game Pass is great for games that can’t drive by selling copies alone or are not Baldur’s Gate III level of quality.

Makes sense. I believe Chile has a big community of Palestinians. Might well use whatever is at their disposal to get attention on Gaza.

We even have a football club, CD Palestino.

Always wondered about penetration and signal length. Does beat 2.4Ghz, still?

They’re “overnight performance experts” because there are similar games that run better.

To me it seems that there was a tight schedule and they couldn’t prioritize performance tweaks over features. I mean, if it’s works it works, refactor later so we can jump to the next requirement.

Sum all that up and you won’t know which part of the chain takes most cycles,

At this point I would prepare for total destabilization of Middle East. If that what Hamas goal, then mission accomplished and grab the pop corn.

You don’t level Gaza and expect somebody to not be pissed off. Feels like dominoes going down when seen for afar.

Dunno about that. Last time I checked it would depend also on the volume. How much would cost this FPGA alone around 1000 units.

Didn’t know about that. Any way, I don’t think I’m the target audience for this device.

Given it’s very niche and doesn’t play ROMs, I guess $200.

One thing about the 12GB of RAM: it may be costly now, but it will become cheaper after three, four years into the cycle.

Second, there is also the bandwidth. The Steam Deck has 32x4GB LPDDR5. I believe they wanted 8GB but DLSS and ML (if they add them to the next SoC) require at least 4GB plus. Hence, 32x4GB (96 bits). If the Steam Deck can get away with slightly more, then why not slightly less.

So yes, I can see this device with 12GB of RAM to ensure DLSS and ML work without hitches.
