stepee

Sleeping Dogs DE is a made for ps4 era port so it still looks pretty good. Bump the details and run it at 90fps and it still looks good for a handheld.

lmao that is funny because ya when the story hit I saw Grub and just assumed it never existed and he was essentially canceling his own rumor

Also The Ascent:

No Rest for the Wicked seems to be gunning for this title

I’m caustically optimistic that this is going to be awesome. I just hope they can get out of their own way and keep things fun and moving at a good clip and to not require hunt and peck grinding. They can just make it super standard ubi and it’ll be fine, just keep super tedious non action tasks optional if they have to have a lot of those too.

I always think people are exaggerating about how much she talks, and also give some leniency because growing up an outcast it kinda makes sense she would talk to herself like that. But then I play for a bit and na it’s definitely valid that it’s freakin overkill. Like, to the point where it’s actively annoying sometimes when you are trying to fight an enemy and collect stuff and she is just fucking going ON about some pointless shit and you can’t even really hear it because of the other sound effects. They definitely need to dial it back and ideally give her a companion more often so at least it’s banter not weird self narration. I also hope they add block/parry to the next one. I’ve played this game probably like 80 hours between both versions now and I still keep trying to do parry and forget that you can’t. Off topic the hdr is crazy good in this game. It looks phenomenal on every display I’ve tried it on. Great highlights and contrast.

I really like how this has aspect options regardless of resolution. So you can just set 32:9 and it will put in borders. I’d like to see this in more games. It’s too small on tv but on apple vision pro you get this wonderful super widescreen presentation whatever size screen you want and it looks incredible. When eventually I get a 77” for my living room I could see using 21:9 on that too when I have the option.

it’s fiiiiine

Ghosts is just an example of great art design and clever use of the tech available then making it look so good still. There isn’t actually a lot of geometry or anything super taxing in Ghosts. It’s really all the art style and covering the fields with the flowing flowers. That part is impressive and looks great but it’s a lot less taxing than filling in the geometry that Ronin is doing.

3/10

I’m not playing this one much yet but I’m dipping in here and there and I did unlock thief vocation so I’m happy about that and also the night time is beautiful looking on oled.

omg I got moonlight set up - it is obscenely cool. 4k/120/hdr stream on a movie theater size screen (essentially my entire living room back wall) except it looks way sharper than a 4k image would look on an actual display this size - probably equivalent to 16k or some shit. It’s wild. Hell the sound is better than my actual set up too.

Im definitely getting this unless 2K does some real micro transaction bullshit to ruin it somehow

It seems to be silent when doing anything that isn’t trying to run a game with high settings. It’s hard to fault it making some noise then as I don’t know a device that can run something like RE4make with high settings without making some fan noise. But I did think it would be a little quieter since it’s arm and I imagine the new ipads will be quiet and have a similar chip.

Oh yeah it will definitely start reving the fan up after benchmarking something like Deus Ex MD or RE4. Just not used to it being the same plugged in or not. I like that though. I like my gaming laptop and it’s crazy when plugged in, but it lasts like 30 minutes of poor performance when I unplug the brick.

The answer to #1 seems sooo hard still. I’m surprised there isn’t a program for this. Good idea to just get something cheap the protects it that can get banged up. For the dock, it already has hdmi, three usb/thunderbolt, and a micro sd reader and I’m not connecting monitors to it so it’s really just gigabit ethernet and maybe some usb A ports so I don’t need to use converters. I’m sure I can just amazon something but was wondering if anyone had recommendations because i’ve also had bad luck with some docks off Amazon.

But if he gets a 4000 series he can use dlss3 in DD2 (puredark released this one free since it just unlocks native implementation) which will give a huge cpu boost as well!

I’m pretty impressed with gaming on this m3 pro chip - if the oled ipad has a m3 pro option that would be bonkers. Seems to run BG3 well at maxed settings/1080p!

I just got my first mac so here is where I ask you guys questions and someone answers me. First: I saw some command line thing to turn on/off metal overlay to monitor performance. Is there an easier way? A program like how I use msi afterburner on pc? I tried using steam overlay for those games and it doesn’t work. This seems to be reasonably capable for games actually but it’s hard to figure out exactly where it sits and to set games if I’m in the dark on the actual performance especially since the display is 120hz vrr. Second: Seems like there is no power increase when plugging in unlike a windows laptop, I guess cuz its arm. This is actually a good thing as the other way to say it is that there is no power decrease on battery. Just confirming that’s right and there is no special turbo mode you can set to have it draw more power? Third: Anyone use crossover? Worth the money? Fourth: Anyone have a good dock recommendation or any other accessory recommendations? Any slim case reccs for bringing in your travel bag? Fifth: Can you run steam games off external ssd/micro sd?

The performance mode definitely sounds too low - I’d need to use vrr with one of the other modes. I mostly moved past reconstructed 1080p in 2009 or so. I’ll most likely have to wait but I am looking forward to it, and it’ll be good to have some food for the pro this winter. Just hope a patch is day1 with the console.

Gonna have to watch the DF video today to see if I won’t be too picky to play it now or wait for pc or pro but I’m sold from these impressions to play this sometime this year now

It runs a little better on the deck now and I got settings optimized pretty well but that hitching isn’t going to ever go away fully. I definitely would not recommend anyone actually play the full game that way unless they have no other option. If you want a new deck game get Sleeping Dogs DE it’s only like $6 and you thought it looked cool before

Ah looks like it’s abandonware now. Which means it’s easy to find and free at least. Getting it to run on deck might be a fun project!
