I say there's a 50/50 chance - it either happens, or it doesn't.So what's the feeling of the Pokemon Leak being true afterall? I think March 2024 may actually be the launch date.
So you're saying...there's a glitch in The Matrix.Speaking of The Matrix Awakening tech demo, I tried running it today on my Series X, which had been installed on it since it was first released. After the WB/UE5 logos, it tries Loading Construct Environment, but it keep throwing a dialog box about the Connection failed, and retrying over and over.
The leaker got every single other thing right, it would feel a bit odd if that person just threw in fake Switch 2 info, but it's always a possibility. Also a possibility that the information leaked was correct at the time but that things may have shifted further on. The sooner the console gets her the better though imo, so I hope to heck the information was correct.So what's the feeling of the Pokemon Leak being true afterall?

Can't wait for this
That's the thing. The visually impressive one will take a few more years, I think 2026 (yearly releases, Indigo Disk 2024, remake 2025 by the B team, Gen 10 2026).Having a visually impressive Pokémon game for the launch of a new switch would be HUGE!
who am i kidding, even an ugly Pokémon game at launch would be just as big...
Alright I just woke up and searching is hard on my phone. Can any kind soul summarise Nate's podcast (and DF's one too if there's new info there) or point me towards a summary if it already exists please?

WHY ARE THEY FIGHTING POKEMON WITH A SWORD??
They got every detail right, from the name, theme and outfits of the DLCs to the paradox species, the unknown masked green jaguar and the big blue 20p coin turtleI say there's a 50/50 chance - it either happens, or it doesn't.
But seriously did they get everything right in the leaks? I remember some people saying some of the details were spotty. Been a long time since I've seen the leaks too. If all details are legit that's a chance we see this system much sooner than most expect.

Honestly? They've been vindicated at every turn, and now the rumours are pointing in their direction. Personally, I believe them. But I understand the reasons for doubting them.So what's the feeling of the Pokemon Leak being true afterall? I think March 2024 may actually be the launch date.
cant forget mario

I need a macro response to this...
The only things in their post that weren't part of that week's presentation were "new Terrastal appearance" (a vague, easy guess) and their claims about hardware, which are yet unproven. And even if new hardware launches in early 2024, but it doesn't include a graphics enhancement patch for SV, then the leak was still bullshit.
Black and White remake - SeptemberThe next Pokémon games should be Black and White remakes aka my favorites. Hope they're switch 2 bound if not crossgen.
Yeah... I just hope it's not by ILCA. I believe the Pokémon leaker, so it seems they ARE outsourcing main series development as needed, which is very good to see. My hope is that the 2025 remake of Black and White (be it cross gen or not, I'd say it will be, which would be very apt for Black and White) would be handled by Game Freak with PLENTY of outside help, and ideally go for something like Legends Arceus.The next Pokémon games should be Black and White remakes aka my favorites. Hope they're switch 2 bound if not crossgen.
I just hope they do my babies justiceBlack and White remake - September
Legends Unova - November
Black and White 2 remake - Somewhere in 2025
Crossgen with base switch with the poetry that Pokemon Black and White 2 will, once again, be the final major games released on a system
But not a good enough response for me to consider it inaccurate. So far it has been accurate, including the "special Terastral form".Macro response:
yeahh. There's always a chance for something else too. I just wouldn't get my hopes up when it comes to the first year of the system.The next Pokémon games should be Black and White remakes aka my favorites. Hope they're switch 2 bound if not crossgen.

P4bl0:You made me laugh like a madman while waiting in line at the post office.
"So far it has been accurate" to the Pokémon Presents that aired three days after the post. People leaking Presents on 4chan's /vp/ board that way is a common occurrence. And in fact it's pretty much a mathematical certainty that they had seen that Presents early, because they managed to avoid leaking anything from later presentations, like characters, other new Pokémon/forms, setting, or any other elements of the DLCs. That's impossible to do if you were just a programmer who worked on the DLC, because you would not know which specific Pokémon or which elements of the DLCs would be getting revealed next week.But not a good enough response for me to consider it inaccurate. So far it has been accurate, including the "special Terastral form".
This is not, in fact, terribly clear.So, they clearly saw the Presents early, and their story about being a programmer was a lie
It's an undeniable conclusion that they saw the Presents early. Are you saying they're a programmer at a Pokémon outsourcing company, who was able to see the Presents early?This is not, in fact, terribly clear.
Assuming BC is a given, which I think it is, what is the current consensus on how unpatched next Gen games will work on it? I'm mostly referring to those with dynamic res or fps targets or sloppy fps such as age of calamity, trials of mana or Xenoblade 2.
Will those work better simply by virtue of being on a superior hardware?
That's rightThis is not, in fact, terribly clear.

See:I believe that leaker got stuff right that wasn't in the original Pokemon Direct as well, so the idea that he just had seen the Pokemon Direct a few days ahead of time doesn't really pan out for the details they got correct but were announced months later.
This is the only thing in their posts that didn't come from the Presents three days later, besides the hardware/patch claim. This is really not convincing evidence.Here's the entirety of what they said that had to do with a new Terastal mechanic: "Special Terastal appearance" as a bullet point in the first post, and in the second post, "The special Terastal appearance I mentioned is a new game mechanic that was not announced in the PV. Some Pokémon will acquire new Terrastal forms."
It was fine for me maybe around a month or 2 ago, but not now.I tried the demo my Xbox before but i never had any problems.
All that aside, it sounds like the resolution/framerate weren't even the point of the demo. I don't know that Nintendo's expecting oohs and ahhs for that facet of the hardware.
Oh man.. if DLSS was used to upscale 4k, that's disappointing. I would think 4x the bandwidth would be enough (I know, switch is 900p). Maybe this could sort of confirm it's no more than 102 GB/as.DF Weekly: How plausible is the Switch 2 Matrix Awakens demo report?
With both Eurogamer and Video Games Chronicle discussing the behind-the-scenes demos of Switch at Gamescom last month, …www.eurogamer.net
Relevant excerpts:
A conclusion. Just one conclusion. Not THE conclusion. Just because one reaches A conclusion doesn't mean that it is the only possible conclusion. Furthermore, they could have seen the video AND also be a developer.a(...) conclusion
It's just a demo, maybe DLSS integration with NVN / last-gen games was part of the demo alongside loading times. Maybe rendering natively had a noticeable impact on the instant loading and DLSS reduced the load (not sure about this one).Oh man.. if DLSS was used to upscale 4k, that's disappointing. I would think 4x the bandwidth would be enough (I know, switch is 900p). Maybe this could sort of confirm it's no more than 102 GB/as.
But if it's an emulation, then maybe that's understandable too.
I just checked the demo today and im getting the same error as you did.It was fine for me maybe around a month or 2 ago, but not now.
I believe this is the case. Honestly, my expectations for launch support from Nintendo outside of next gen patches are very, very low. Maybe a three dimensional puzzler using light puzzles and physics simulation, like a new Fluidity game. Other than that I think the launch will be a bunch of third parties that couldn't or didn't want to shoehorn their game onto Switch, like maybe Elden Ring, RDR2, BD3, etc.perhaps Nintendo's initial strategy is to use patched Switch games as a selling feature for the new hardware, offsetting some of the need for lots of titles early on at launch.
I don't see why it would be disappointing? Maybe if it was 4k30, but I don't see how you would really get to 4k60fps without DLSS pitching in. I mean BotW peaked at 900p30fps on the Switch, often dropping below that, so you're talking like 10-12x performance needed to get to 4k60fps native. Which, why would you want to push for that anyway when DLSS gets you there more efficiently, potentially with better image quality depending on the mode, and likely more quickly in terms of optimization.Oh man.. if DLSS was used to upscale 4k, that's disappointing.

Not quite true, everything they said was specific to Scarlet and Violet alone, they didn't touch on a single other thing featured in the Presents, they referred to the Paradox Pokémon by their Japanese names but didn't know their English equivalent names, they then stated the DLC clothing rewards would come to buyers with a 1.2.0 version update patch rather than as a DLC reward itself, they then mentioned a new Tera form for some Pokémon in the DLC with a hexagonal theme that wasn't shown in the event (later revealed in the August Presents), finally they confirmed they were talking about a new generational model of Switch slated to release in early 2024, for what it's worth the Indigo Disk DLC is still listed as 'Winter 2023' with its intended to release by date given on the Nintendo Store as April 30th 2024See:

I definitely think that backwards compatibility with a handful of titles getting patches to go with it would be a massive selling point to a lot of people in its own right, because that alone would give it everything a theoretical Switch Pro would have (and as OLED Switch sales continue to grow while standard/mini sales decline, that demand for "just a Nintendo Switch but stronger" is definitely there). Tie Mario Kart 9 or a new 3D Mario in there and that would already set the console up for a killer first year, but a lot of it does hinge on that idea of backwards compatibility which still seems somewhat up in the air.I believe that leaker got stuff right that wasn't in the original Pokemon Direct as well, so the idea that he just had seen the Pokemon Direct a few days ahead of time doesn't really pan out for the details they got correct but were announced months later. Now we have a new podcast from Nate, someone has had been pretty bullish on a H2 2024 release date is suddenly open to a "possible" March 2024 release because of the rumblings coming out of Gamescom. MVG states that he still believes it will be H2 but Nate no longer seemed confident in that. It wasn't that long ago and Jeff Grub had mentioned that a late 2023 release wasn't out of the question. H2 may still be what ultimately happens, but the more info that leaks out the more it seems possible a 1H release could happen. Who knows, perhaps Nintendo's initial strategy is to use patched Switch games as a selling feature for the new hardware, offsetting some of the need for lots of titles early on at launch.
Because modded switches are able to reach 60fps on Botw and TOTK with higher clockspeeds.. Likely at 720p, because it's only been tested on handheld mode as far as I'm aware actually. But I don't know if the internal resolution would still be close to 900p. Not sure how much of a factor CPU plays in framerate vs GPU in reaching 60fps.I don't see why it would be disappointing? Maybe if it was 4k30, but I don't see how you would really get to 4k60fps without DLSS pitching in.

The biggest request was 16CPU cores and at least 1GB/s of storage speedI'm usually pretty pessimistic about stuff like this and kind of assume the worst, but I feel like this actually makes sense. I might be misremembering, but isn't more ram a pretty popular request from devs even when it comes to PS and Xbox?
