Slash Gear: "It's been a few months since HP launched their Z400, Z600 and Z800 workstations, and we've finally got the company's mid-range Z600 on the SlashGear test bench. A dual-processor monster that HP envisage being used in midrange CAD, financial modelling and even high-end DCC, the Z600 would also make for a storming video editing workstation; HP also claim it's environmentally friendly. That's the theory, anyway: can the Z600 really deliver performance in a home or small-office friendly way?"
The Piranha Plant camera for Nintendo Switch 2 looks great, but its resolution is limited to 480p, compared to the official webcam's 1080p.
Even better... the lower the res, the less bandwidth it will use to transmit video while playing. Besides, i dont think anyone will be buying it to actually use... I'm getting it just for the aesthetic. Maybe another company (or Hori themselves) can offer a Lakitu holding the video camera while riding a cloud like he does in the game. That would be another cool one to have.
🤦🏻 what we shouldn’t be hearing..
So you prefer it because it’s low resolution? Just wow!
If for the look you can get piranha night lamp 10 times cheaper
Yeah an easier solution to low bandwidth would be to use a 4k camera, and allow you to choose to broadcast in lower res for bandwidth preservation.... Not force poor quality
Question tho - what about the matching Printer? Bring back Gameboy Camera + Printer and reboot Mario Paint with it all too
It should be cheaper because of the lower resolution, now if it could switch between 480p and 720p it would be good enough.
The sites I've seen selling it don't even state a resolution in the description.
Your comment is wild they could've done a better camera than that. The only thing I agree with is the idea about Lakitu.
Actually, if you're overlaying yourself on top of your game stream you've not changed anything bandwidth wise.
This is a hori product which I've always felt the build quality was a bit iffy on their gamepads so to see them passive off a low resolution camera is unsurprising
is it shocking?
really?
its funny tho, the camera is 34 moneys woth 480p resolution only, i found one for 11 with 1080p resolution haha wat a rip off ha
Dude, I was SO ready to give Nintendo my money for the Switch 2, I've been wanting to buy a portable for a while and didn't pull the plug because I was waiting for the Switch 2.
Now I just want Nintendo to fail, I sincerely hope they do, because this is just absurd at this time, this is worse than PS3 era Sony at this point.
Actually the multiple fails since reveal event just made me start playing switch again because i know i won’t be getting this thing anytime soon. The more i hear of it the less i want it..
Exactly this is sony level obnoxious behavior from Nintendo. So much of switch 2's reveal is anti consumer. Like Zelda remastered not including expansions. I really hope switch 2 struggles so Nintendo have to change their policies. Early struggles will give Nintendo a much needed wake up call
But let's be honest it's Nintendo system will do well. They have dabs who will defend them no matter what
LMAO thanks man i needed that lol... you made me break into a full blown laugh where i am literally sitting here crying.. its 7am here in the uk and now my wife has woken up hearing me laugh my ass off.. asking whats to funny.. now she can make me some breakfast.. haa
On a serious note.. man Nintendo take the biscuit and have the cheek to also ask for some nutella..
Like you can literally by 4k webcams for £50 which auto follow you and have remotes etc
I have my switch 2 pre ordered as i love all things Nintendo but i wont be bothering with the cam etc
I suspect they will allow third party cams to work as the wording used around usb c cameras seems like it will be allowed.. but time will tell. Thanks for the laugh i needed it.. had a looong week at work.
The peripheral maker continues to impress with this retro-style controller.
i have the Nyxi Wizard GC style joycons and was very impressed. It made playing metroid prime remaster feel even better than i remember.
By the age of 10, the only consoles I have played were NES, SNES and Genesis. Genesis was my favourite out of the bunch but I can safely say that my favourite consoles has been the PS3.
