Surprisingly enough it is the first console with DLSS.

On DLSS, I started up Robocop recently and it’s my first experience with frame generation.
It’s not as bad as I thought. Situationally. In menus it’s awful. The game is evoking the 1980s computer aesthetic. You have sharp green lines against black backgrounds. The green lines and text are warping and smearing. In game it’s passable and if I weren’t hitting consistent 60fps I’d keep it on. I don’t know if that’s possible on Switch 2 or it’s only up scaling.
Switch 2 doesn't do Frame Gen, which is a weird thing all together.
It works well for games where input lag doesn't matter but for games where input lag matters it doesn't work very well. Overall from 30fps > 60fps it's good enough but if the game runs below 30fps and is pushed to 40fps or whatever input lag is severe. I'm overall conflicted on Ray Tracing too. It looks fan fucking tastic but in gameplay, eh. Results vary a lot. Realistic lighting usually makes areas too dark or the screen way too busy with all the reflections. In Cyberpunk 2077 I might prefer the regular screen space reflections to the ray tracing when it comes to actual gameplay.

Well, before they get kicked to the curb I'd personally like to thank them all for the great games they made this gen.

Yup. It explains both the success of the Switch 2 and the DEATH of Xbox.
Also Nintendo nailed the 3 things that matter in the modern era: execution, distribution and sales. They put these things directly in the hands of the consumer with their road shows. 'cut the noise' with Nintendo Directs and put Switch 2 offers directly into your inbox if you already had a Switch. There was no waiting in line or even the need to pre-order, you got an email that said: "We've reserved a spot for you, click here to buy it" simple and clean. Finally there is the execution, it's basically a flawless product for what it is. They didn't sell a roadmap of potential but instead a new open world Mario Kart on day 1 and the system transfer was seamless. No pre-order tier, early unlock bullshit. Xbox is just confusing as fuck. No one knows what they're buying, what they need or what they own. And all they do is appeal to the noise while failing to deliver on the things that matter. It's funny how that was also part of the plot in the F1 movie. Brad Pitt telling the rookie social media influencer only the racing matters and everything else is noise. ![]()

I played the first one for like six hours. It was stunning in its arrogance, how casually it treated the player's time. Someone told me at six hours, I hadn't even gotten to the real game yet.
Fuck Kojima.

Death Stranding 1 burned so many people as an Amazon delivery simulator that of course they didn’t return for the sequel. ![]()

More like Death Stranding 1.2 ![]() I'm enjoying it, but I'm one of those weirdos who would have been perfectly happy with a Death Stranding expansion pack. I expected the sequel to be much more differentiated--supposedly it gets there, eventually. |
