  • T @ trimesh:
    I appreciate the convenience of emulation - but at the same time there is a feeling you get from using original hardware that's hard to match.

    I feel like consoles will always be here just less of a demand

  • KenniesNewName @ KenniesNewName:
    Next gen will probably be all portable

  • T @ trimesh:
    Some things (like Super Famicom games) just feel right when you play them using the original hardware and a CRT

    Not so sure about that - the tendency for "graphics uber alles" tends to lead to very high power consumption
    Gift
  • KenniesNewName @ KenniesNewName:
    If you look at what's now portability graphics are catching up to console quality

    Nintendy is a huge example of not everyone caring about powerful specs most that do will be hardcore PC players anyway

    The thing is that the IATA rules impose a pretty hard limit of 100Wh on battery sizes for lithium batteries - and it doesn't look like Li is going away soon
    Gift
  • T @ trimesh:
    So if you want (say) 4 hours of runtime you need a maximum system-level power consumption of 25W

  • KenniesNewName @ KenniesNewName:
    Yeah but we already have AAA titles looking fine on tablet form 1080p displays

    Human eye can only tell so much of a difference

  • T @ trimesh:
    For reference, the PS5 is rated at 350W and the Xbox series X at 275W - and that's console only, without any display

    But the future always holds performance never know what the aliens will donate from their left over tech

    Maybe :) - but batteries have turned out to be a pretty hard problem

    Like I said most that will truly care will already be hard core gaming pcers

    And DF subscribers :)

    I bet you could find a neighbor with a ps5 and they'd have no idea what the word spec means

  • T @ trimesh:
    Yeah probably - people on forums seem to care a lot, but they are heavily self-selected
    Gift
  • KenniesNewName @ KenniesNewName:
    Most on forums try to get a good learning of actual tech

    Papaya, so good

  • KenniesNewName @ KenniesNewName:
    Only 13 more titles to go on ps3 yay

  • Dark_Phoras @ Dark_Phoras:
    I still have a remnant of the taste of the papaya
