Perfect subject for a video, these are the kinds of games I'm excited to play on my deck when I get one. Stuff like Dead Rising, Dead Space and a bunch of JRPGs from that era.
Glad you enjoyed it, Dennis! TONS of games from that era should run just fine and I always love doing videos on games from this era since they usually run well and with stellar battery life!
Mirrors Edge: Catalyst is great on steam deck, with pretty good graphics for a portable console. Not my favorite story, but nice for short sessions. Edit: The OG Mirrors Edge is $2 on steam rn!
The reason why people say the Switch is the best place to play the DMC collection is twofold: first because all 3 games are sold separately so you can just opt out of buying 2, and secondly because it's the only official release of 3 that has freestyle Style and Weapon switching backported from 4 and 5. Other versions of 3, without mods, restrict you to 2 melee weapons, 2 guns, and 1 style. This has been modded in to the original PC release of 3 and Special Edition, but unsure if the HD Collection port has had that modded in.
Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 1 and 2 play phenomenally well on deck. Max settings 800p gets 60fps at 15w and if you play at ps2 settings (low, 400p it's honestly super nostalgic) you can get like 5-7 hours of battery.
Is anyone else having performance issues with Mirrors Edge? I havent messed around too much with the settings, but the game typically runs at 60. Once i hit a room filled with breakable glass though- it drops to 8-10 fps. Anyone have any suggestions?
Need more of these. I don't really enjoy much of new flagship AAA games, instead I played these games more but I owned most of games in this list, wish you have bigger list.
Nice list! Crazy Taxi is so good! The soundtrack is stellar! I started to listen to Bad Religion because of that game back in the day! Fable is fun and hilarious! I can't wait for the new one! Prototype is a series that I've never played and frankly, I don't know why! It should have been right up my alley since it's basically a superhero game! I know they're available on the PSN store so I'll have to scoop them up! Great video and keep up the good work!
Much obliged! It's just always so fun to look back on the 2000s in particular and I think that's because that's when I started having my own money to get games and 3D was really starting to come into its own. Glad you have some fond memories of the era as well!
I really want the cutscenes to play perfectly on DMC HD collection. I've always really wanted to play through those games and Steam Deck would be perfect. Also I wish cloud saves worked with it too but it wouldn't be a deal breaker.
I found a mod for Crazy Taxi that restores the original logos, voices and tunes and it is amazing to have that experience on Deck Yah yah yah yah yah!🤘
7:24 I believe this is funny/ironic if I remember the story right :P but since you didn't finish it... Still, I loved that game, could be fun to revisit. I also never actually played the second game even though I do have it. I remember it used to crash immediately on startup and I didn't get it fixed at the time. Should see if it runs on the deck...
the switch version of Devil May Cry 3 actually has baked in style switching and a co-op mode, but im sure theres mods for the PC version that enables those
Zelda tears of the kingdom is literally taken up all my free time. Are you planning on playing it? It's a masterpiece and definitely gonna be game of the year.
I'm hoping to have the same experience! Only a few hours in at this point but as I get more production knocked out that should free up some downtime for me to really rip into it :)
Great Video! The steam Deck is a great place to play these again. I actually just finished Lost planet 1 for the first time on the deck a few weeks ago. I've been off and on playing the second one but unfortunately it's single player only. Aside from a few odd crashes it runs pretty well as far as the main game is concerned.
Runs amazing and can get 5+ hours battery life. Vampire the Masscarade Bloodlines most fire CRPG ever. Controls translate great as well. Believe still says unsupported but first game I played on the Deck more than a year ago. Blast from the past.
@YourPlayer2 I'm not sure how others in the series play. But Bloodlines definitely worth a playthrough as for 1 it's not really that long a game for what it is and well the Community Controls on Steam Deck suprised me how good they are for a game that was PC only and never made to play on a controller lol. Also interesting throwback to how amazing and awkwardly amazing the facial animations are as it was made with different technique before mocap was common place. And the dialog between characters not many games that come to mind that are like it but maybe New Vegas lol.
I think these are the types of games that will be absolutely phenomenal on the ROG Ally, should be able to play almost all 2000s games Max settings 1080p 120fps

His suggestion videos are always on my watchlist! Great stuff

I really appreciate the kind words, J :)

Good to know! I'll see if I can snatch up the sequel at some point :)

Ah yes I DO remember that now about the weapon switching! Thanks for chiming in to remind me, War :)

I THINK I have the first one but have never played it so adding it to the list for a future video :)
Max Payne 3 is a great game for the Steam Deck.
That's the only Max Payne I haven't beaten yet!

Hmm, didn't encounter this myself but if I do I'll try to reply here!

Lots more on the way and I rarely stay in the AAA realm so I'm with ya :p
Prototype was brilliant, the gameplay and powers in that way so much fun. Played the sequel against recently, really loke that game as well.
It was fun to revisit it! Haven't tried the sequel though so that's on the todo list.
For DMC, use Proton 7-24 to fix the upside down cutscenes.
Oh awesome! I'll give it a shot and appreciate the heads-up, Kinos!
Vanquish looks and runs great on the deck. Finished it on the oled.
I KNOW RIGHT?! Still need to finish myself but it's high up on the list of games I can't wait to re-visit on the Deck :)
Nice list! Crazy Taxi is so good! The soundtrack is stellar! I started to listen to Bad Religion because of that game back in the day! Fable is fun and hilarious! I can't wait for the new one!

I had mastered Crazy Taxi. I would drive on the highway toward incoming Mac truck traffic. Racking up points.
LoL absolute madlad :p

Can't say I blame ya! I'll be curious to test it out on the Ally :)
I found a mod for Crazy Taxi that restores the original logos, voices and tunes and it is amazing to have that experience on Deck
Yah yah yah yah yah!🤘
Oh nice! I totally missed that when I was importing footage and feel silly now but YES, that 'yah yah yah yah yah' is forever burned into my memory :p
How did you fix the audio in protoype? I get zero audio on the deck.
That's odd? I didn't change anything I don't think but you could always try a different version of proton and see if that helps maybe?
@@YourPlayer2 every version of proton crashes when I try to run it except for the current one. Not sure what to do.

Hopefully I can get around to it sometime! Just SO many games all the time, Fin o_0 IF I can find it on sale I'll grab that one too and test it out!
the switch version of Devil May Cry 3 actually has baked in style switching and a co-op mode, but im sure theres mods for the PC version that enables those
Glad to hear there's at least SOME option on PC then!
Crazy Taxi is fun, but I much prefer Simpsons Road Rage 👉👍
Bwahaha nothing wrong with that and that's one of the first games I emulated when I was starting that process :)
PC version of crazy taxi does not have the original soundtrack. 0/10
Gah, THAT was an oversight on my part but someone pointed out there's a mod to restore the original apparently so that's something at least!
Damnnnnn man I completely forgot about crazy taxi! I used to play it all the time when I was a kid 🎉 what a gem man
Absolute classic right? :p
Currently playing dead space from 2008, plays great on the deck
Right?! I played that early on in the Deck's lifecycle and it played well with great battery life :)

Thanks a bunch, dude! Glad to hear it ran mostly ok and it was fun diving back into this relic from the 360 era :)

I've never played a Vampire game from that series! Not opposed to it though, just never got around to it :)

Creative video. Thanks for sharing
Appreciate it, Tim, and thanks for taking the time to watch!
Great recap! Two words: Yoga Flame!
Bwahaha nice catch, A.F. :p
I have that same shirt
LoL awesome! I picked it up at Uniqlo when I was in LA for E3 a few years ago :)
I think these are the types of games that will be absolutely phenomenal on the ROG Ally, should be able to play almost all 2000s games Max settings 1080p 120fps
have fun playing for 30 minutes before the battery dies on those settings lmao
@@bobateaboy04 modern fps and resolutions for modern trash battery life...
I suspect you're right! And with them being less taxing the battery life shouldn't be too bad- Not sure if it'll match the Deck but I'm optimistic!
Yeah that's a distinct possibility but I usually keep a backup battery around just in case :)
