oh.... 'member when the NX was supposed to be more powerful than the PS4 + being a portable??

I 'member....

That's why I skipped all of the NX threads. All people had were two letters, rumors for "sources", and a dream. To this day, the word "rumor" in the title is a guarantee I won't enter thread.

I do love the pre announcement hype trains, especially when it comes to consoles. But the NX one was going to crazytown pretty early on all over the internet.

And yes... there were plenty of reasonable people (the majority) here pointing out obvious fantasies being spread :)

So calm down everyone that was attacking, I have a Switch too since it was released, hold your fire xD



Looking at the footage, I'm kinda dissapointed they didn't add some form of motion controls to move the camera around. 1st person games work better with those, like the Metroid Prime games on the Wii. I guess I'll play Skyrim in 3rd persone mode, then.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

How would that work in undocked mode? Tilting the Switch? That would be horrible. If you're riding the bus, the camera would bounce all over the place.

Well, Splatoon 2 also has a motion control setting for undocked. It works worse than when docked, but still. Ans there's always the option of turning it off.

This was never a thing though

NX being more powerful than PS4 and being a portable hybrid (2-in-1) were distinct rumours/speculations. 1tflop was what some people were unrealistically pushing for the portable hybrid, not it being more powerful PS4.

By the way, for those bitching that's it's only 720p, the screen itself is 720p.  You won't ever see a game running a higher res in portable mode.

I mean. You aren't wrong. But... You know games can render at a higher resolution than the display right?

I didn't get the chance to play Skyrim last gen mainly because I never knew I could play it in third person view lmao (first person kinda makes me sick)

Is this game outdated in 2017? Or it's still epic as 5 years ago?

I actually didn't know that. Cool, if true. We have to wait and see what it can do in docked mode, though. Maybeit'll be 1080p.

Same here. I buy a lot of first person games but it really is my least favorite perspective. I never feel like I'm the character (unless it's VR). I just feel like I'm strapped to a gun or something.
