Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa discussed the possibility of a next-generation console, whether it'll have a 2-year gap between announcement and release like the Switch, and pricing, including that of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
They suggested a potentially different path to Sony, and poorer game preservation as a result.
Honestly, I don't mind a digital-only device - I do play mostly on PC after all. I just think that one paired with Microsoft's way of handling expandable storage is a bad idea.
Like, just imagine how expensive that would get with 1TB costing around 150 USD and the current sizes for AAA titles.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will be one of the biggest titles of 2024, and we're now only five months away from its launch!
Can't freaking wait! I only have one tiny nitpick from everything I've seen so far. The ground clutter. There is a ton of pop-in going on when moving around with small rocks and foliage. I hope they can touch that up a bit before release. The game itself looks like everything I could have hoped for! I hope there are a ton of different cards to collect, for Queen's Blood.
I think they've said the demo we're seeing is several months old. Hopefully it already is fixed but most open world games seem to have a problem with vegetation pop in or density
Man, this is one of those games where when I saw the gameplay, I could tell immediately they’re raising the bar. I can’t tell you how hyped I am for this! It’s not crazy far out, but the wait is still getting to me.
There’s also Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and Persona 3 Remake to juggle before then. Dang, 2024 is a good time to be a JRPG fan.
I think that's a bit below the actual number, they said 100 hours (which is probably discounting how much side-stuff and mini-games you can get lost in) I'd expect with a normal-ish playthrough enjoying some of the side-content you'll easily top 100 hours, might be more like 140-150 hours tbh ^^.
I wonder how many hours completing everything fully will take, can't wait.
According to a recent hands-on by CNET, the PlayStation Portal battery life is expected to last between seven to nine hours.
That's really good actually, better than my phone and my 10' tablet just watching YouTube or Twitch.
Given this is just a streaming device, that's pretty low compared to my cell. But I guess most gaming sessions are shorter than that.
Try streaming games to your mobile phone for that long and see how it goes I think you'll find with a decent screen brightness most phones would only get 3 to 6 hours max.
My fold 3 would only go about 3 hours tbh
Most.phones wouldn't even do 3 hours imo, I used 12% in about 20mins using remote play while letting my nephew and niece play "Peppa pig and paw patrol.
I imagine it's even less playing a more gfx intensive game.
A mobile last about 2 hours when playing a console game, plus it feels like it's gonna melt in you're hand.
Pretty similar to the Abxylute, but far lower than the Logitech G-Cloud battery life.
But given Sony's recent track record, it's really good and depending on how the battery is accommodated inside of it we might have another Wii U Gamepad situation where a newer, larger battery can be used.
Pretty good Q&A info, but would have been nice to get more. Anyone could have guessed these answers, if you think about it.
Basically no plans at all to announce new hardware it seems. No plans at all for a discount for the handheld despite manufacturing costs going down. Charging an extra $10 in the USA for Zelda TOTK is not a sign of new pricing. More expensive game pricing will be decided on a case by case basis. Hoping Mario movie can bring in new fans for Nintendo.
