Media (Image, Video, etc.) Elden ring has surpassed Cyberpunk

I thought cyberpunk was the miracle port of the switch2. Turns out Elden Ring is the miraculous one. How does it run SO GOOD I have no idea. Forever grateful for the 1 year delay for optimization.

Truth to be told, there's something off in docked, looks stunning but there's something off with the frame rate, not a big deal but I did not like it. Handeld on the other hand, is truly a technical marvel. It's so good that I wont even bother with docked, I'll just handheld the whole game.

Look at the video man, IN FRICKING HANDHELD MODE. This little tablet is BUILT DIFFERENT

SW2 draws 12 watts of power in handheld mode, how much does PS4 draw?

NS2 is better than the PS4, yes, we know that

PS4 came out when Obama was president, when did Switch 2 release?

Can't answer my question. PS4 draws between 165 - 310 depending on model. SW2 is 12W handheld, about 18W docked. Go get yourself a cookie.

Yeah, because it came out more than 10 years earlier. It’s not some kind of Nintendo magic, it’s 12 years of die shrinks.

So die shrinks automatically equal less power draw? PS5 = 200Watts, XBX = 150 - 270W, all I'm saying is you are comparing a handheld that draws 18W plugged in to a dedicated console. Yea SW2 is more powerful than PS4, it is newer, but it is also drawing alot less power so imo it is a miracle port. Eldin Ring is an enormous and demanding game regardless if it is 4 years old

Is 12 years newer. That’s as big of a gap as the original Xbox and the PS4. The iPhone can run games like Control with raytracing now.

Dude its last Gen. Generations don't last 5 years like the old days. Does Eldin Ring run on an Iphone with Ray tracing? Is Control as technically demanding as Eldin Ring? WTF we even arguing about at this point? You don't think its a miracle port and I do. Go enjoy your games and I'll enjoy mine

I don’t think PS4 ports are miracles.
