Reply to comment by ElectricTrees29 in Steam Deck Is Reaching Its Limits in Games Like Plague Tale: Requiem by ardi62
Some people just want to keep pushing for a steam deck 2 when the things been out for a year. Like the steam deck is a whole gen ahead of the switch. There's almost no reason for vavle to upgrade it for a few years. Maybe minor changes but I don't see them making like a version with a high end laptop steam deck version.

I don’t think being one generation ahead of the switch is anything to brag about. It’s more than that.

It emulates switch games better than the switch can play them, it's 4 or 5 gens ahead of the switch, lmao.

Honestly, it's more like three+ generations ahead of the switch.
People forget that Breath of the Wild was developed first and foremost for the Wii U, which was roughly as powerful as an Xbox 360.

Is there a steam deck 2 in the works?
IncredibleGonzo t1_j5k63kz wrote
Yes, they’ve been pretty clear that there’ll be future models eventually. They’ve indicated that it’ll be quite a while before we see one with a different performance level, though, they’ve suggested the next model will focus on screen and battery life. Whether that’s a proper second gen (replacement at comparable price points) or more like the Switch OLED, a more premium model that slots in above the current ones, remains to be seen.

Steam has not announced anything and every news outlet has been theorycrafting there's one but let's be honest it's the same people who have been saying the switch pro will be out for the past 5 years so take that with a huge grain of salt.

I mean just like anything that is a big success isn’t there always a new model in the works?
I work in a phone store and people always ask is there going to be an iPhone 14,15 whatever the next number. Like yea ? There is going to be an iPhone 40, why would they stop ?
The steam deck is obviously newer and not as established as the iPhone but I would assume with how popular the deck is steam is going to keep them coming. Not only do they make revenue on the deck but also get steam into more hands as the price of admission is much less than a full PC

I'd honestly say it's 2-3 gens ahead of switch. Realistically, Switch games behave and look like PS2 games in higher res.

Dude I'll have what you are having cause holy shit are you smoking some crack there....

Yeah, no they don't. You have some rose colored glasses regarding what PS2 games actually looked like.

No kidding. PS2 is -rough-.
Art direction counted for a hell of a lot more too, which I vastly prefer. I don't care about ultra-high-poly photoreal stuff, give me things that are aesthetically pleasing.

Shadow of colossus HD (not the Bluepoint remake) for the PS3 looks better than almost any switch game outside of some first party titles. I obviously wasn't being 100% literal.

No you are just completely batshit....

They probably just saw a couple pixel games and went "The switch looks like shit." The switch even in handheld is 720p and 1080p docked. The PS2 did 480p MAX. There might not be a difference in their eyes. Anything not 4k60FPS is garbage to some people

It’s 2-3 gens ahead of switch but switch is at least 2-3 generations ahead of PS2, probably more.
I doubt a PlayStation 2 would be able to run Witcher 3 on any settings. It’s pretty amazing how far we’ve come with handheld devices.

Bro, the ps2 had GTA 3. The switch runs Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey.
TiempoPuntoCinco t1_j5mks7j wrote
PS3 could run those. Switch is like Ps2.75 then. It still keeps surprising me how awful it runs games. The ugliness of Assassins Creed 4 made me sell our switch. Wife and I are very happy with Steam Deck.

Nah, it really couldn’t, but there’s no point in arguing bc you’re weird
