| Soundwave said: 2050 could sell 1 unit, the fact is it shows that modern games largely scale even to that little bandwidth and that low of RAM. |
You are shifting the goal post yet again. No one in the history of this thread has said anything to the contrary.
It doesn't stop the RTX 2050 from being a garbage GPU however. - But even Garbage GPU's can game.
| Soundwave said: It doesn't matter what you think PC gamers do or do not do, publishers make business decisions not "lets make games for a tiny niche audience of graphics enthusiasts" decisions, particularly today where making high end games is a business proposition of 2x-3x the cost of what it was even 8-9 years ago. |
Again, majority of PC gamers are not enthusiasts, the statistics have already established that.
But even hardware enthusiasts don't always operate their rigs on the bleeding edge.
So I am not entirely sure what your goal is with this superfluous argument.
| Soundwave said: If I'm a publisher spending huge amounts of money on a game, I don't give a fuck that you have 12GB or 16GB of RAM, I'm going to make sure my game still runs well enough on much lower end hardware than that, and that's really at the end of the day the only thing that matters. |
But weren't you saying that the Switch is essentially the be-all, end-all because of the amount of Ram?
Are you going to stop being a hypocrite at some point?
| Soundwave said: If there's a small market of people who want to spend hundreds more just to run the same game at a higher resolution and be able to see reflections in mirrors (whoopity doo) that's on them, it's not a great value proposition to most gamers though. |
Spoken like someone who has spent over a decade at sub 1440P, 60fps.
I remember the days when Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 gamers thought 1080P was irrelevant and argued that the 1080P advantage PC offered was redundant.
How their tunes changed when the Playstation 4 and Xbox One released.
You are literally being that person.
| Soundwave said: A Switch 2 if it can run modern games like a 2050 can is remarkable in the sense that in past generations a DS or Game Boy or whatever the popular portable platform of the choice generally sure as fuck couldn't run modern games in a general sense. That this is now possible and potentially even commonplace today is notable. |
Considering that Nintendo's previous hardware releases in the mobile space were under-powered, I am not entirely sure you think it's the "win" you think it is.
Nintendo has more competition in the mobile gaming space than it ever has in it's entire history.
Phones and Tablets are more capable than ever... And PC is making big inroads in the mobile space and even Xbox is looking to dip it's toes.
Nintendo is a for-profit business and actually does need to compete at the end of the day or bleed marketshare. - The Switch 2.0 will bring them up into the current era with the current rendering paradigm's, but it's only going to be short lived with next-gen likely to start in a year if Microsoft gets it's way.
| zeldaring said: Xbox s games could start running 20-30fps in the near future it's not like they are huge market to begin with and developers don't care they love pushing graphics. COD of duty is gonna be online only as well do I don't know how they gonna get that game to work on Switch 2. |
This. We are already seeing Xbox Series S games come with large compromises with games having cut features, reduced rendering quality, lower framerates and more. - The Switch 2.0 isn't going to make that easier for developers with it's slower hardware.

COD Black Ops 6? The game that's on the 11 year old PS4? Like do you even do 5 seconds of research with some of your posts? Some of you guys are completely detached from the reality of the business of this industry, but for people who know are seeing things like Playstation's own former president saying costs are way out of control and almost every new gaming exec basically confirming that. The few developers that have tried to push graphics this gen with games like Senua's Saga and Immortals Aveum I'm not so sure are "loving" their sales figures. |
You have literally done zero research and provided zero evidence in the history of this entire thread.
You literally don't get the privilege of ridiculing others... Again. You are being extremely hypocritical.
