Date: July 16th, 2025 7:29 AM Author: Indecent concupiscible messiness institution The whole thing is ludicrous and is just a result of fanboys….. the hardware is last-gen. No one said game boy advance was Sixth Gen ffs. Handhelds should have their own Gens. Someone will bring up the Wii which is intellectually dishonest. There’s nowhere else to put the Wii but where it is. Switch 1-2 were released at weird mid-Gen intervals with prior-gen hardware capabilities. It would’ve been fine to call Switch 1 8th gen and Switch 2 9th gen. Even 9th gen is pushing it for Switch 2 ffs.
Switch 2 being depicted as the first of a brand-new Gen with ps4 pro caliber hardware? Absurd. Wii in 6th gen? Who cares? Switch 1 in 9th? No one really assigned it a gen until it Won whatever gen it was in. It would’ve been considered ps3 gen if it did shitcube numbers. Switch 2 in Gen X is the most ridiculous of all. The longer they do this, the more the stupidity compounds.
Before switch 1 had 100,000,000k units shipped devs acted like it was a joke. After it Sold immensely, they changed their tune and performed feats of Engineering to get games to work on it. |

PS4 Pro graphics on a handheld is wizard-level engineering IMO |

Date: July 16th, 2025 9:19 AM Author: arousing heaven "improved graphics" discourse usually just means photorealistic i.e. ray-tracing, tessellation, etc. and consoles don't have nearly enough power to handle that computational load. it is also insanely expensive to make Games that way and necessitates large budgets that are moderated by Publishers and Shareholders. Nintendo was wise to steer their ship away from those shores. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5750291&forum_id=2Reputation#49105294) |

Date: July 16th, 2025 9:50 AM Author: swashbuckling address But this sort of dodges the question. You can still compare systems spec for spec to get a rough idea of what their performance capability is. How good the graphics ultimately look, or how much "improvement" you're going to see in graphics from one console to another, depends on many different factors so that's hard to gauge, but that doesn't prohibit us from getting a general sense of where each system is performance wise--what "band" it's in.

Date: July 16th, 2025 6:55 PM Author: Indecent concupiscible messiness institution Switch 2 is basically Switch Pro atm. Until it has Games that are somewhat interesting to adult Losers, it's just a Switch Pro. Of course we're talking about the hardware when there's no software.
Sometimes Gens are about the games and sometimes they aren't. PS2 sold 160,000,000K units but the best selling games only sold like 15,000,000k. That Gen was not about the games.
The 9th Gen isn't about hardware OR Games. If Madden and COD looked photorealistic and if unreal engine fixed The State of AAA Budgets by offering streamlined tools, people wouldn't be maf atm about "no games." If hardware advances don't yield anything interesting in terms of content and if Games are Bad, all that's left to get excited about is winning the gen. This is why Nintendo fans are buying multiple Switches between the OG, OLED, and Lite, in hopes of juicing sales figures and running up the score, and Winning their first Gen in several decades. Wii doesn't even count imho, which makes this their first Gen Victory in 30 years.

You've consoomed every piece of hardware to come out in the last few years and declared victory. Pick a side ffs. Or buy a Console with Games like PS5.

Date: July 16th, 2025 8:12 PM Author: Indecent concupiscible messiness institution I don't know how you can muster the fucks to give about "donkey kong." when was the last time you played a 3D platformer? You're chasing a sales victory and you've lost any semblance of intellectual honesty in the process. Donkey Kong, OK, maybe it'll be fun. Odyssey was OK, but tedious imo. But jesus christ the intellectual dishonesty and cognitive dissonance must be making your bald head spin. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5750291&forum_id=2Reputation#49107270) |

Date: July 16th, 2025 8:20 PM Author: Indecent concupiscible messiness institution When Backlogs accumulate it's because the Games suck or got repetitive. If you got 100% in DK64 as I did, your ass was THROUGH with 3D platformers from that day forward. It didn't matter how good Tonic Trouble, Rayman, or Sly Cooper were. It's over. You can't skip the backlog. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5750291&forum_id=2Reputation#49107288) |
