Genshin is not an MMO. It is a single player game with a 4 player co-op function.
Where did they say they were keeping it? They said a while back that they were going to be removing it for security reasons. TCP/IP support requires parts of the server code to be included in the local game files, which can make it easier for hacks to be produced. This was not really a problem 20 years ago, but it is now.
I agree it is unfortunate that it is no longer going to be supported, but it is understandable, and afaik they never tried to hide it.
What are you talking about?
Confirmed digital only. Cannot buy used.
SteamOS is just a layer. The main OS is KDE Plasma Linux. You can also install Windows on it. Technically it is a PC.
IIRC, the people behind that one advertised it as an official collaboration between them and Nike. That along with the nature of the modifications, was likely to cause harm to Nikes reputation. That is what they were sued for, not the modification and sale itself.
First sale doctrine protects the rights of people to modify and resell their property, so long as they do not make it seem like the original manufacturer is officially involved in any way. Manufacturers do not ret...
Not really a secret. Been obvious since the start that the Deck would be an emulation dream machine.
Pixel density is more important than general resolution. 720p on a 7" display is 210 PPI. 1440p 27" is 109 PPI, 4k 30" is 147 PPI.
The screen is 60hz capable. 30fps was just the minimum target for the hardware. Meaning they expect every game currently on Steam to be able to hit atleast 30fps at 720p/medium settings.
The hardware is capable of rendering @ up to 4k/120fps, or 8k/60fps when connected to a TV or monitor.
1.6TF is just for the GPU. You have to factor the CPU also. 1.6TF + 400 Gflops = 2Tflops. RDNA2 has a ~67.5% performance increase over GCN. 2 + 67.5% = 3.35.
Battery life is 2 hours minimum, playing more demanding games. It can go as high as 8 hours. Valve has said most typical games will get around 4-5 hours (Portal 2 on medium settings gets around 6 hours). BotW on the base Switch gets 3 hours by comparison. On Switch Lite, it gets around 4 hours. On the new OLED Switch, ...
PS4 = 1.8TF GCN
Deck = 2TF RDNA2 (equal to ~3.35TF GCN)
So stupid.
Another moronic Twitter prank like the recent Interplay revival.
The 3dfx brand is owned by Nvidia.
False article, cutting out part of the quote.

30fps is the MINIMUM target. Games have consistantly exceeded 30fps in testing.
They are not talking about performance. This is about Proton. They are saying that they have 100% compatibility of Steam games on Linux/SteamOS.
Stupid comparison to begin with. Beyond the general shape, they are completely different types of devices. One is a handheld console, the other is a handheld Linux PC. They cater to completely different markets.
@stereotypedferret:
Handheld Linux PCs? Yes.
The Steam Deck is also a much more expensive (for the higher end model) and much more niche product than the PS5 or SeriesX. It is a handheld Linux PC, not a console. It was not open to everyone on day 1, due to anti scalping measures, and this was all while Steams servers were fubar due to so many people trying to buy at once.
100k in 2 hours for a product like this, under those conditions, is actually quite good.
2TF RDNA2 is equal to ~3.35TF GCN, vs 1.8TF GCN for the base PS4, and 1.2TF for the Xbox One. The Steam Deck also has double the Ram of those consoles, and vastly higher memory bandwidth, not to mention NVMe SSDs.
As for the resolution, it is all about the pixel density. 720p on a 7" display is 210 PPI. 1440p 27" is 109 PPI, 4k 30" is 147 PPI.
@720p and medium-high settings, most modern games will both look and perform perfectly fine on the...
@deadfrag:
Yuzu does not require much. My current PC (R7 3700x, 750ti) runs Pokemon Sword modded @ locked 1080p, with enhanced texture and shader packs, and gets a rock solid 30fps through 99% of the game.
720p, without any enhancement mods, the Deck should be able to handle most of the better optimized games without issue.
A toaster can run Dolphin (GC & Wii) at this point. My old build with a Phenom II 965 from 2010 ran most GC a...
Hopefully this lights a fire under Game Freaks ass.
