Like 98% of them, yes.

You mean on the small screen, right?

People's use cases seem to be wildly different from mine. I mainly use it in TV mode as a couch gaming machine. For most modern 3d games you have to turn graphics quality down substantially that way.

Edit: A downvote does not constitute an answer or a counter argument.

The reality is, deck can handle most games out there in handheld mode. For the latest and greatest games, visual fidelity has to be sacrificed. While the deck has its uses on the TV, it's not a good choice if that's all you will be using it for.

My deck, TV docked experiences have been with Mario Kart wii, doom 3, cuphead, SOMA, Scorn, Stray and a bunch of older 2d and 3d titles. I think it handled these games well. Not so sure it would be the same with "AAA latest and greatest".

I'm by no means talking about AAA latest and greatest. I tried Everspace 2 and Visions of Mana. Both need considerable tuning down, after which Everspace manages a fluid experience, while VoM still stutters while looking horrible. I haven't dared to even try the likes of Witcher 3 (which people are talking about playing on the deck). I'll probably stick with pixel art etc for TV mode, and go back to the ps5 for more demanding things.

But the deck is also insanely good at decoding screens. I stream triple A Games from my PC to my deck on the TV with ease.

But then, my steam link could already do that.

[–] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Its a good machine for that but theres nothing unique about it (steam link on phones and natively on TVs as an app is theoretically free). I did play through the whole Days Gone (60 hrs to platinum) by streaming it from PS4 to deck in my bed. Good experience.

Yeah, I'd be concerned about that too... I mean who is not in for a Switch replacement/successor?
