I think there is a bit of a misconception floating around about FSR3 frame generation. While it is not that handhelds wont't benefit from it, frame generation (at least this iteration) is targeted at games that already run at 60 fps (per AMD advisory). Quality suffers if the source material drops significantly below 60fps. So devices with higher refresh rate screens can benefit in the way intended. But 60 Hz devices won't really benefit from frame generation specifically. However there are some exceptions in this case, too: e.g. heavily CPU bound games like Flight Simulator benefit from smoother framerates even if the source is below 60 fps. The actual upscaling component in FSR3 is the same as existing FSR2 implementations (as confirmed by AMD).
Merry Xmas everyone. 🌲 Steam Deck is officially not being sold here but a relative of mine is going to bring a 1 TB Oled model from Germany to replace my LCD one soon. Can't wait. 😊 Best regards from Turkey Istanbul. 🙏🙂
Great episode, guys. On the note of sharing digital games, I did find a loophole in the Sony ecosystem. For several reasons, I migrated over to PC for the newest games, while chipping away at my insurmountable PS4 backlog. I recently learned that by signing into a friend's PS5, they can access my digital purchases. Granted most Sony users own a PS5, but if you happen to in be the minority, like me, or your are on a PS5 and your friend is on a PS4, its worth trying it out. Just bear in mind that you are only allowed to sign in and out of another console once every six months.

FF16 team is mostly the FF14 team. They are finally just going back to their main IP because of big expectations for the expansion next year and because 14 pretty much keeps SE afloat. If anyone knows anything about BU3 you’d know Square Enix wouldn’t waste their time and especially Yoshi-P’s time working on just a PC port. I’m pretty sure that would be outsourced with oversight.
I love these streams. I learn about so many cool games from them. This time it was that the DS version of Chrono Trigger was considered the definitive version. I'll be checking it out soon.
I was interested in Emudeck for windows so I can use it on my Ally… until I started using it. Currently all I emulate is Nintendo Switch. And it didn’t make sense for me to use it because you HAVE to be in gamepad mode, so I can’t use my configs I made in Auto mode. Also it completely resets the controller binds that I set in Yuzu. ON TOP OF THAT I would have to manually move all my saves for each game over to the Emudeck version. and being that Armoury crate has improved so much, it just makes sense to continue doing it the way I was. It’s faster and easier
I feel like I just have to defend TLOU factions lol. I know it’s hard to envision because ND are masters at the single player experience but they actually had something special with Factions multiplayer. It incorporated the crafting and stealth lite elements of the TLOU single player experience in a fun and compelling way. I hope some other game comes along and can work off of the ideas of TLOU Factions.
I highly recommend playing TLOU! The series adoption was amazing, and honestly if you enjoy story driven games that makes you feel --- it'll be up your alley. Played the original 4 times before remastered came out. Combat wasnt the best, but it's improved a lot in the remaster since they used TLOU2 engine updates.
I tested out frame gen on my Ally, works decent but still work to be made. I was playing Avatar, and I spent like 15m changing settings and I found that 720p native res with frame gen on worked and looked great. Got 60-80fps at 720p. Anything higher than 720p and low settings is basically unplayable tho
I think with the Insomniac Sony exclusivity isn't all bad, considering Microsoft has the been purchasing big IP's simply because they can. Let's be honest too, Insomniac is one of the the few developers that get superhero games right, so although not opposed to other parties making superhero games but I'm not going to be upset that Insomniac is exclusive to Sony only. Love the pod cast, keep it up.
Hey Bill and nerdnest team. Love the content but having a huge issue with my steamdeck and thought maybe someone would know on here. When idle the projected time rapidly drops and shuts off the deck. I talked to valve and sent it in twice but still same issue and I can’t get a replacement because of warranty. I reimaged and wiped it multiple times but still. The third party who fixed it changed battery and motherboard. Would be great to get some advice because if not ima have to just get an ally or legion go. Wouldn’t give valve any money after not helping. Thank you for the great content
Thing with FF16 is this first party exclusives most of the 14 player base would play it if you put it on PC. I can't justify buying a console for one game. If it never comes to PC that means they will just be leaving money on the table for PC players who want to play the game.
So when they announced that they were making a DLC in September, @NerdNest, they also announced it was going to be ported to PC. Them breaking up the main team that created the game has nothing to do with the DLC or PC port. Really it means they have moved onto their next project. If someone else has said this I apologize for repeating, just clearing it up since I’m still early in the pod and didn’t hear that the chat did so.
I sold links awakening remake on switch without even finishing it. The performance made it not enjoyable to explore and feel immersed. I never played the original so I have to spend more time backtracking and just got too frustrated with the slowdowns and frame rate in the overworld.
They didn't even talk about the legion go lol ,I know rich is the only one that likes it like me, that screen is the best and russ jus likes the ally i forget😅 jk ,hope u guys have great Christmas also
Also your point at 25 minutes is solid I think video game people SHOULD NOT be writing let the writers write and games should be games all they do is inject silly ideology
@@NerdNest yes that makes sense i still haven't played it but I played every single final fantasy game last year and was looking forward to it I definitely would love for it to come out on pc I enjoyed the strangers in paradise game and that felt completely different too
The exclusives kill themselves I’ve always thought it was bad business just gets folks uninterested in the games. Personally I loved halo 1 and 2 and then forgot about the franchise until the master chief collection. Same as Spider-Man; my main problem with insomniac now is the whole political garbage. I was rolling my eyes in Spider-Man 1 but Spider-Man 2 was literally unplayable BS with the amount of public relations propaganda in it
This podcast is so relaxing to me, and I love pc handhelds, the perfect blend to get caught up.
Same here bro , loot based games / arpgs and stuff i like to get started on pc while i do more tedius grinding on the deck

My legion go has 144hz screen bro, can’t wait.

Really appreciate the shows guys, absolutely love everyone of them. All my favorite creators in one video!
Thanks for all the great pods, enjoyed the show all year long!

Russ I hope Chrono Trigger changes your life like it did for thousands of others!

They also already announced a PC port when they announced the DLC was going to happen a few months ago.
Thanks for this guys! Happy holidays!

FSR Framegen won't be much of a help on Steam Deck. Sub-60 FG feels horrible. Framegen is meant for jumps from, say, 60 to 120.
DX HD is dope as hell

Yes! Glad Russ is finally playing Chronotrigger.

Happy Holidays, guys. Rich, Russ, Carrey (though he’s missing), Kyle and Bill. Merry Christmas. And all youuuuuuu in the comments! 🎄🎁

Again, it wasn’t that I wanted insomniac games on other platforms, I don’t like a third party IP locked to a device.
7:38 what's the name of that game?
Would the mod actually work with handhelds tho? I think it’s meant for older PC GPU but maybe it’ll work with handhelds
I think so, especially since AMD makes most Handheld APUs.
Been here since episode 1 (was already a fan of Bill’s Steam Deck work). I look forward to these episodes every week. Thanks team!

Just jumped in real quick to say there is no shot an X-men Cyclops game is good
Definitive version of Chrono Trigger is the original SNES

Of course we are getting a port of FF16 on PC.
You guys are awesome, i love you guys. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁💚💚💚

Great job, team!

Legion Go is my GO TO windows device.
@NerdNest I watched wat u said before and I got one recently, it completely is mine now too thanks man ,these videos are 🔥👍
,,,,So ,, what’s the upgrade then,, ,,,,!!!!!!

Also your point at 25 minutes is solid I think video game people SHOULD NOT be writing let the writers write and games should be games all they do is inject silly ideology
I’m not sure what you’re referring to.
ff16 didnt sell better because its exclusive to ps5
I think it’s a combination of that, AND because FFXVI was so different than previous FF games.
@@NerdNest yes that makes sense i still haven't played it but I played every single final fantasy game last year and was looking forward to it I definitely would love for it to come out on pc I enjoyed the strangers in paradise game and that felt completely different too
