A concept artist for Cyberpunk 2077 is using his skills to make incredible Metal Gear Solid character art, showing the raw talent of CDPR.
Nintendo Switch 2 upgrades portability with a bigger screen, 1080p handheld play, and Wi-Fi 6. Here's why it still matters in 2025.
As someone who travels for work I still care about portable systems.
I have found using remote play in a hotel room is an excellent experience in a major city as I've got my console hard wired to a gigabit connection at home however it's not perfect if power trips the console tends to go to the repair section and can't be booted remotely so it's a annoying call to family to power it on for me.
A hotel out of town or regionally though that can cause havok for remote play as I'm always on 5g using it hotel wifi is never good enough for a solid remote play session.
But leaving a stable location and getting onto a plane or train and there's little to no chance of a good experience with remote play thats where something like the switch 2 will really shine for me personally long haul flights are exhausting and one of my most hated things the switch has been invaluable for me and I'll absolutely be upgrading
Nintendo has always done it the best, handheld is in their genes. I do wish their dock could be like an egpu though and it make it much more powerful, it's a bit harder for me to play portable now for some odd reason, love just sitting on the couch with a big screen and controller. And ofc always great to have the portable option and for me it's best for smaller games.
IMO, 540P upscaled in portable mode to a 1080P screen using DLSS on the tensor cores will likely extend battery life using a lower TDP and provide much better anti-aliasing and similar clarity compared to native 1080P with med/low AA at a higher TDP. It’s just a better way to use a mobile chipset. That’s not a flaw or weakness, it’s a key benefit for the portable design of the platform.

interesting thing is, that the switch 2 is still the inferior version, despite it being more powerful.
Neon Giant will use Unreal Engine 5 for the next game, as they call their in-developoment project "a very ambitious step up" from The Ascent.
If only Konami could understand the importance of Metal Gear franchise now.
Either hire devs and designers like these to form a Solid team to develop future MGS games or just contract CDPR to make the next game. Platinum games did MGRising.
Or if Konami can't plan out the future of MGS, sell the IP to Sony. They'll do a whole better job at it.
That doesn't look very good. It makes make me appreciate Kojima and his team more.
