I would say something the along the lines of late PS3/Early-Mid PS4 games in terms of graphics would be great to see, so like a Vita, but better, and with the ability to stream PS5 games to the handheld, similar to XCloud & Game Pass. I think that would make it a hit, BUT! I would like to see the following: -Clickable thumbsticks (Proper L3, R3 buttons) -Dual triggers (R1, R2, L1, L2, like an actual controller) These are two things that are a MUST for this handheld.

I agree, and yeah Tenchu Z in 2007 was the last 'console' game. I think there was a PSP game in 2009 though but after that, nothing. I would also love a new Bushido Blade, a new, current gen version of Bushido Blade would be BRUTAL to see! 😄

I think by the end of 2023, early 2024, we'll be seeing Sony stop releasing PS4 titles. By 2024, the PS4 will be 10 years old, they usually stop releasing games around the 8-10 year mark.

I think any high end Android would work great for San Andreas Mobile. It runs pretty well on my Galaxy S21+.

Are you a fan of CoD Mobile? I really like it, it's a nice 'best of' style game for the franchise and it's real easy to pick up and play a few matches from time to time. I just wish I had a proper controller thing for my phone and didn't have to use the touch controls lol. Saying that, do you like playing games like CoD on a mobile device? I personally would like to see a "Greatest hits" style COD game like CoD Mobile, on PC and console.

Warzone Mobile is gonna be releasing soon, with early sign ups happening now. Are you gonna be trying it out? I might download it and try a few games just to get the in-game rewards for Modern Warfare II, but other than that, I'm not much of a warzone guy, but I imagine this will be great for Warzone players when they're on the go, say to work or school and they're riding the train or bus. What are your thoughts?

Yeah I think that's probably accurate tbh. I was thinking that myself, and in typical Nintendo fashion, it most likely won't be backwards compatible either.......so might just bite the bullet and pick up an OLED in a few months when I'm a bit better off financially and can splurge a little.

I been thinking about buying a Switch for awhile now. Should I buy the OLED model in a few months? Or do I wait and see if Nintendo puts out a "Switch Pro" or 4K model? What do you think the odds of an upgraded, new Switch being released are? Do I buy now or wait?

I don't. My brother and I started when they first came out but stopped not long after. I think we own maybe 10 in total? and even then, i don't even know where they are now, shows you how often we've used them. I think some might still be in the box lol. A fad that fell off pretty quick, huh?

I definitely see Google getting into VR. They tried almost everything else whether it worked or failed. I see them trying a VR headset at some point. Although, with the failure & closure of Stadia, maybe not. Stadia would've been a great companion for a VR headset if they did things properly.

This is a very good point. My brother-in-law bought the first version of Playstation VR and he barely uses it now. It's just sat collecting dust. I feel like PSVR2 will be more of the same. SOmething like an occulus probably has more staying power as it's a dedicated VR headset and not an add-on for a pre-existing non-VR console.

I Ioved the messaging system in Phantasy Star Online, back then, it was a brand new concept and totally unheard of. 😄

Are you a fan of Sega's consoles? They used to be very prominent in the hardware & console space back in the 90's. I love Sega, The Genesis was the first console i've ever played, years later I got a Dreamcast about half a year after release and it quickly became my favorite console of all time, still to this day it holds that title for me. Years later as I got older I finally got a Saturn. I always wanted one growing up but was never able to get one as my parents thought it was too pricey at $400. I love the Saturn as well, but not as much as the Dreamcast, Sega's swan song. I love the fact they're making mini consoles now and I hope they do a Saturn Mini & Dreamcast Mini one day......but I'd really love for them to throw their hat into the console race once more and come out with a proper console to compete with Microsoft, NIntendo & Sony once more, but I know that will probably never happen.

For me, my first video game was Sonic the Hedgehog in 1992. I was 2 years old, or about to turn 2. Been playing ever since. 🙂 I'm 32 now. Time flies when you're gaming!

When you're in the market for a new PC, do you go for name brand prebuilds or products? Or would you rather build your own with a mix of parts from various companies? Personally, I don't have the space or time to mess with building my own PC so i go for a prebuild by a name-brand company like Alienware or Asus. I prefer the former however, as I've had mostly good luck with Alienware products in the past 7 or so years that I've used them.

Just watched a stream. I might pick it up in the future though. My backlog is massive so i've been trying to be more selective with what games I purchase.

I've watched a friend stream house flipper. It seems like a relaxing game. I've also looked into power wash simulator in the past. 😛

I have an avermedia Live Gamer 2 Plus at the moment. I would like to upgrade to something better, but money is tight and I haven't been streaming or putting out video content to really justify upgrading to something better if i'm honest. In the future though I would like to get something that supports HDR10 along w/ the 4K Passthrough, as I feel like I don't get the most out of my Xbox Series X as it's connected to a capture card.

This is surprising to hear. All steam deck reviews I've heard so far were pretty positive for the handheld itself, to see the docking station get mixed reviews is a bit surprising to be honest. I would love a Steam Deck myself but it's way too expensive for my blood, It's definitely not in the cards right now at least.

Yes. I back up my data every few months for safe keeping in case I have to re-install Windows or even if I get a new PC all together. I have stuff I can't afford to lose such as website backups, so I definitely try to stay on top of backing up my data on a somewhat regular basis.

These are exactly my thoughts, it can be seen as free advertisement for their game. As you say, as long as they aren't profiting off the original developer's work, I don't see why devs have a problem with fanmade projects!

I love old school FPS games like Quake & Doom. I actually went online w/ Quake 3 Arena on my Dreamcast for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It was mostly bots in the lobbies because it's such an old game but it was still a fun look into the past. I would love to set up a game night with people to all come and play some Quake 3 Arena on the Dreamcast Now service.

What is your favorite Sega Dreamcast game? For me, it's probably a toss up between Phantasy Star Online Version 2 and Shenmue. Both were absolute gems on the console and I still play PSO online, on my Dreamcast, to this day with the use of a DreamPi kit & private servers. It's a real blast from the past. What is your favorite Sega Dreamcast title?

I'll have to check these sites out. I remember I had an app on an old iPhone called "Dream Collection" It was to help me keep track of which Dreamcast games I owned, which were CIB, and which ones I still needed to purchase, unfortunately, the app was taken down from the app store and I can't seem to find one to replace it now.

I've been sick so I haven't been playing many games recently, but last game I sat down and played was GTA Vice City Definitive Edition on my PS5.
