TheKing23 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I just bought a Switch Lite not too long ago, these Switch “Pro” rumors have been going on since 2017 so it was going to happen anyways 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is still a bandwidth cost to the whole process and while an x1 can do 4k the switch actually ran underclocked from the x1 in the shield. I just feel if a game is really going to run at 4k even upscaled the games will not really look that much better. So in my opinion, I think people should temper their expectations on the switch pro, it will be a nice upgrade but not what I think people are really hyping themselves for (i foresee another new 3ds, which for the most part only really brought improved framerate in most instances). DLSS Performance mode can take 1080p to 4K-ish with very little overhead. That’s a much lower bar to reach than you’re making it out to be. Nintendo’s Nvidia partnership makes it an apples to oranges comparison to other consoles, at least in the here and now. I don’t expect it reach DLSS Quality mode fidelity, since I expect 1080p to be the native resolution that’s fed into the algorithm. But I don’t think it’s crazy to expect great things from that either. We’ve already seen how well it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, same? Tonight seems wayyyyy too good to be true. I feel like they would have a bigger thing then drop it at the end but maybe they want to do this separate so they can show pro games for e3?

Bosman said it on his most recent video: the planet is producing as many chips as it possibly can. There isn't a factory on earth capable of making chips that isn't doing it. The problem is blockchain miners which is compounded by scalpers. My 970 just died and those fuckers are selling for more now than they were 5 years ago.

Get the announcement out of the way, and then use it to drum up excitement for their E3 show, which will delve into it, and the games more. Same reason games have pre-E3 teaser trailers.

Paper Mario was an uninspired cash grab. Im hoping this is truly because of switch pro and them wanting a blowout announcement with big games.

crispy4000 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 PM Origami King was an uninspired cash grab? Maybe you have an oddly specific definition of that. I'd sooner put Kirby games in that category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
