A new patent published by Nintendo seems to confirm that the Switch 2 will utilize Nividia DLSS-like AI tech.
RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army revamps its combat, adds voice acting, and brings this forgotten Atlus RPG back to life.
Square Enix president Takashi Kiryu discusses the dropping player count of Final Fantasy XIV and the numerous projects of YoshiP.
Also who wants to keep paying a monthly fee every month, there are other options like Guild Wars 2 😁with no monthly fee and while not that many people overall compared to FF XIV, it did increase to about 21 mil now.
Looks like Square Enix is self-aware but still stuck in place, they see the player drop and apologize for the bugs, but nothing really changes. Shame, FFXIV used to be the gold standard
My entire free company has stopped playing. The writing has consistently gotten worse and the content is sparse and lacking; unless you are a hardcore player there's very little for you to do. They are over-catering to the people who will grind three+ times a week on a single fight for multiple months when the playerbase by large doesn't want that sort of content. Square needs to dedicate more resources to the game instead of wasting them on mobile and other live service slop.
"Locomoto is an incredibly cute and cosy adventure sim involving a train. Published by THQ Nordic and released on the Nintendo, I know, like me, you were hoping for a Nintendo Switch 2 version. But don’t worry, if you do own a shiny new Nintendo Switch 2, the game runs perfectly fine on there." Stu @ Thumb Culture
Don't see why they can't just use dlss itself
Makes sense most of the new CPUs/ GPUs/ APUs coming out in the next gen consoles and NVIDIA's 50 series will all have this tech. Nintendo seems to have bet on this technology to do the heavy lifting. Early rumors have the specs for Switch2 at PS4 Pro levels which is already 8 years old. It's hard to imagine they will ride it out for the full 6-8 years without a spec update somewhere during its lifetime.
Nintendo again being 2 gen behind. Nothing to see here.
Ut the way games tech have been progressing this gen really disappoints. Games with checkerboard 4k30fps and even 60fps like Gears5 were already possible last gen and I, when the gen started, was half expecting that more games would run natively at 4k60fps considering the leap in power.
But to be in this situation where even the PS5 Pro is struggling to run games at 4k60fps with the help of upscaling tech to boot, can't help but feeling nassively disappointed. On PC is no better with cards like the 4060 is considered as entry level despite being more than 2 times more powerful than the Xbox One X. PC gamers are simping over DLSS now for some reason despite hating on upscaling tech before.
WTF happened?
This makes sense, AI scaling is where the vast majority of performance gains comes from these days and they have pioneering partners in Nvidia.
