It's the right choice in my opinion. Rather than spend another few years working on the new engine and possibly going into development hell again, they're going to move back to the old engine and release the game straight into early access to gain some momentum and progress

    Context: HyTale was possibly the most hyped Minecraft alternative, but got acquired by Riot and was in development hell. Earlier this year it got cancelled, but now the original founder has bought it back from Riot and is reviving the game, with early access soon

    Modding: Available at launch. Run your own servers and create custom content.

    All I needed to hear. I am so excited for this and was following the game since it was announced, fuck yeah

    If we're going by piracy logic then you can buy a $200 used Switch and hack it to download games for free. I genuinely don't think a phone or tablet would ever be a good experience. nobody is going to play with touch controls, it doesn't let you play games on the TV, the emulator has compatibility issues and bugs, not to mention how most phones throttle hard when they get warm. I'm not buying this discussion at all.

    Android has Genshin Impact, GRID Autosport, Pascal’s Wager, Sky: Children of the Light, The Banner Saga Trilogy.

    ...So basically mediocre Android games and rare ports of older games. Nobody is buying a handheld console to play these.

    Android has a couple high-profile indie games like Stardew Valley and some rare ports of older games, that's it. I wouldn't call it very good. and unless you're willing to shell out $150+ for a great telescopic controller there's no way playing on the tablet would be comfortable.

    There are Android tablets that are much cheaper than the Switch, more powerful, more battery efficient. Also, play games better.

    You're not really suggesting that playing mediocre android games on a touchscreen tablet is the same market as a handheld gaming device with controllers

    Sadly not an option for console. I don't own a PS5 currently but when I did own consoles I would trade games and buy used all the time, it's a shame this might not be possible next generation.

    Darn, I posted this earlier but sadly lemm.ee is having server issues. This'll be the main thread, then.

    Official Blog Post | PS5 Pro Reveal Trailer

    The PS5 Pro console will be available this holiday at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $699.99 USD, £699.99 GBP, €799.99 EUR, and ¥119,980 JPY (includes tax). It will include a 2TB SSD, a DualSense wireless controller and a copy of Astro’s Playroom pre-installed in every PS5 Pro purchase. PS5 Pro is available as a disc-less console, with the option to purchase the currently available Disc Drive for PS5 separately.

    The big question mark for me is that not only does it cost 800 euros, it does NOT come with a disc drive. There is no version of it with a disc drive like the PS5, you have to buy it as an accessory. I guess physical games really are going away.

    Just checking if it's not just me, McGinnis being able to spawn a massive wall that you can't destroy is very annoying to play against. She can single out a person pushing and dominate a team fight with the right usage of this ability.

    In almost every other game I've played a wall like this can at least be destroyed by dealing enough damage, but nope. You have to wait the 5 seconds or so for it to go down.
