    No worries, they’ll eventually launch it and it’ll run at a piss-poor 1 decade per frame on even the highest end hardware for the gameplay, but the microtransaction storefront will run at 3000000000000000FPS with zero bugs whatsoever.

      Remember all the trailers for Battlefield V, and that got support for I think 2 years. This has even less trailers, so my bets are less than 2 years of support.

      The Skate franchise started on PS3 (don’t remember if it was on other platforms) and was basically a more “realistic” skateboard game where instead of just using button combos, you were able to do tricks with the analog controls of the DualShock3 controllers. People really enjoyed the first 3 games. This is a reboot, but with the severe downturn EA has taken over the last 10+ years, I wouldn’t really bother putting too much hope in it being good.

          I could have sworn there was something like that a long time ago but maybe not for ps 2 and it might have been snowboarding not skateboarding… hard to say since my memory is kind of fuzzy

    Was it supposed to be? I just assume by default a lot of games don’t officially support Linux.

    As underpowered as the Steam Deck is, it’s a miracle to me that it can even run modern AAA titles at all.

    Wake me up when they release a 1440p OLED model that can handle Ray Tracing @ 60 FPS minimum.

      You seem like the kinda guy who could see someone invent a machine that cures cancer, but you’d still complain because it can’t suck your dick

      Wait, you forgot to mention the price, because if they do it for $1399 you’ll complain about it

        That is an incredibly fair price for what I want. I would absolutely love to give Valve $1400 if the performance justifies the price.

      I feel like I am the opposite. The steam deck changed my entire opinion of what I need to enjoy a gaming session. Previously I bought high end hardware, and high refresh rate screens, but after playing through several games on my steam deck, I am realizing I spent way too much money on my gaming computers over the years.
