i not sure if the next 3D Mario/Legend of Zelda would take less time to develop, EPD 8/3 always aim to surpass, to make the most impressive Legend of Zelda/Mario they could with the hardware they are working, you cant make a ambitous game in only in a 3 years development cycle,it take 4/5 year development cycle to make a ambitous game.
That's fair. But unfortunately, there was certainly a lot of misinformation about it the first time around, and it seems like we're replaying all the greatest hits again now, which is why I'm kind of pushing back on the idea of bringing this up as something new. Seems like it's just going to cause people to go through all the same misinterpretations and misreporting as last time, with the "bonus" of seeming more recent and relevant than other reporting from Gamescom etc.
Y'all seriously think Nintendo are gonna charge for patches?
Makes sense, from Nintendo perspective there isn't any reason to overpromise when having the baseline of PS4 is already enough to guarantee some ports from a lot of big publishers so it only gets better from there if they can actually deliver more.
There is one "new" tidbit in that email. "It would be helpful to secure early access to development hardware prototype to prove that out nice and early"
the media decided it was news again
wasn't the ps4's CPU outdated in 2013?
I don't know if outdated is the aproppiate word, but it was weak as hell, yeah.
Yup I know
Any updates on this?
No new infos…. Old non info to make some clicks
To add to this, power target = baseline and PS4 graphics isn't nowhere near a bad thing lol. This is basically telling me that the next Switch will have better 3rd party support and studios as talented as Monolith Soft will be able to develop a game with full HD visuals (no more 368p on handheld and greater resolutions with DLSS)!
nah. NVN2 wants 1536 ampere cores. maxwell cores would be useless to NVN2 and would sit unused
Better performance and easier to look at
Absolutely. Or they could get people into it first by offering it for "free" or a discount price with a NSO subscription.
I say we reply with, "Ok, Doomer.In this thread: people dooming, people dooming about dooming.
When are yall gonna catch up and start complaining about the people complaining about the dooming?
"
Preach.
From what I understand, they didn't yet have DevKits when the email was sent, and were speculating that the NG would have performance closer to the PS4, but in comparison to the Switch OG and not in comparison to the PS5.
Ah, I didn't know that. Better.
The media knows clickbaiting like this gets views; Nintendo fans dooming, Playstation/Xbox fans gloating over the Switch 2 being 11 year old hardware on release.
It's so weak that it even gets outclassed by the A57 cpu.
You don’t know that, Blackwell is rumored to be a complete redesign of the entire architecture that nvidia has employed since Volta (Volta, Turing, Ampere and Lovelace are all based on Volta). We have yet to see how Blackwell performs. To be clear I’m not saying that they’re better off using blackwell, because we don’t know what it is going to be performance wise.
Hmm. Yes, I'd say I do. As sure as we can measure anything, at least.
Isn't Blackwell releasing in 2025 (or at best.. late 2024)?
Judging by what’s currently announced for Switch, I think their pipeline will hold up well.
While I definitely think that we will have a 3D Mario at launch, considering historically they dont take that much time compared to, for examples, zelda,
It's not a perfect analogy, no console comparisons are. But (handheld
no, you don’t.
Please do read my post carefully, you’re focusing on something I never said nor mentioned, ie the timing of Blackwell. Do focus on what I’m getting at, that no one here knows anything about the way Blackwell performs. “it wouldn’t even provide significant benefits” comes from the position that you know the architecture and its shortcomings and its strengths, the design, how efficient it is, the layout, the configuration etc.
Well, you were responding to a comment with "T254 is a fantasy as regards Nintendo"
The survey would have been for or on behalf of Sega, who would not have known about Nintendo's plans. They were merely trying to see how their product would stack up against a hypothetical Nintendo alternative.
It just sounds like it was a marketing survey put by Sega, so it seems more likely that the Mario Odyssey 2 example in said survey was a hypothetical.
Multiple others have pointed out that market research like that often includes fake or theoretical games for comparison. That's what Odyssey 2/3D Mario was in that survey.
It already said this: To be clear I’m not saying that they’re better off using blackwell, because we don’t know what it is going to be performance wise
I think you fucked up the quoting because that was not my post.....
To be clear, Blackwell is the architecture. Atlan is a SoC. Hopper is an architecture that already released (it is in the H100 GPUs). That doesn’t mean it will come to the switch next though, but just clarifying something.
