I’m tempted to buy Sea of Thieves on PS… lol.

Just wanted to say the features aren’t standard because they aren’t in most games.

The usual in a way, but because of weak start, this shouldn’t happen. It needs a strong leg.

Wonder why Xbox post this mobile game. Not like they own it.

Haptics are probably gonna be a standard, I’m kind baffled it wasn’t Xbox that adopted haptics considering they were the ones doing immersive trigger vibration already. To be honest most of the time I have vibration off because of the battery consumption, but it’s nice every now and then and when it’s implemented well.

Gyro would be great to have but it’s gotta be with ways and tools to actually standardize its adoption, I see people blame Xbox not having gyro for it not being a standard, it’s bs, but let’s see hopefully they have it and do cause more adoption. To me right now gyro seems like a big waste of electric parts when most people don’t even know it exists.

Overall I’m kinda split, I do want those features but I genuinely don’t want any significant change to Xbox controller design, it’s perfect already, and I really hope they retain it while adding features.

No I haven’t played it either I’m just saying Kojima games are the kind of games you don’t get something tangible from until you play them yourself let alone just from trailers, and hell you can play them and still not get them unless you play them fully through and ā€œgetā€ them :sweat_smile:

Not buying it, but I reckon Hi-Fi Rush could make some really cool stuff with the DualSense.

What’s with the talk that Switch 2 will have better ray tracing than current-gen SX/PS5? Who believes that?

Played on the 360 back in the day and it was a blast. I hope it contains some improvements, potential day one.

Up scaling tech I can see as Nvidia has the better version right now. Ray tracing? Doubt it.

Even upscaling it will likely be a worse version than their high-end implementation on PCs because that also requires special hardware to be that good so who knows, maybe only the docked mode would have that.

Not sure how useful this might be, but I came across this mount on Etsy that may be of interest:

Maybe we should discuss this when the official specs are known/leaked. And i highly doubt these claims, especially in the Switch’ handheld power profile.
