[SlimySnake]

You're going to try and downplay the fact that a phone has a GPU that can compete with previous 1.8 TF home console GPU's?

Nah, just correcting a user who called these current gen games.

 

[Zuzu]

Wow that’s insane. And I’m sure you could then mirror it to an Apple TV and play it on you tv with a controller connected to your iphone.

 

[Interfectum]

Meanwhile the Switch 2 leakers are out here trying to hype up Switch 2 running fucking BOTW at 60fps. I hope this lights a fucking bomb under Nintendo's ass. Make better hardware.

When iPhone games start selling 20 million at $60 a pop then maybe a fire will be lit. These games will be lucky to sell 100k on the App Store.

Not to mention the Switch 2 is aiming to be $300-400, not $1000+

 

[BootsLoader]

Insane how even iPhone supports Dualsense, but PS4 don't. Christ even PS3 supports Dualsense.

Lmao I’m dying here.

Not just compete, It has neural engine, and much better CPU. It could run circles around PS4.

 

[Haint]

Wonder how long Sony's Village and RE4-make VR exclusivity contracts are for, cause I assume Apple and Capcom are chomping at the bit for a VisionPro release.

 

[amigastar]

Nah, just correcting a user who called these current gen games.

What are current gen games? I don't recall any current gen games who look really like current gen games.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Yeah well see how well it looks and plays and how much they ask for the game.

Mobiles absolutely suck for these games.

 

[Apocryphon]

Thread title is inaccurate. They didn’t say either RE port will have raytracing. RT was announced as coming to iPhone 15 generally.

The Steam Deck shits all over Village and runs RE4R really well, so given how well the RE engine scales this shouldn’t be a surprise to anybody. Obviously there will be framerate and image quality concessions.

I couldn’t care less about the iPhone, but this could be interesting for future iPads. How interesting it is will be price dependent.

I don't think he is downplaying anything at all. Nintendo Switch have weaker hardware than the top Android Snapdragon and the top iPhone cpu/gpu.

Dude this is like the best your money can buy. Sure people can expect at least PS4 games there if NS is doing decent for the hardware.

 

[LakeOf9]

What? How?

 

[Apocryphon]

Wow that’s insane. And I’m sure you could then mirror it to an Apple TV and play it on you tv with a controller connected to your iphone.

With a hideous amount of latency?

 

[SlimySnake]

What are current gen games? I don't recall any current gen games who look really like current gen games.

games designed to run at 30 fps 1080p-1440p on current gen hardware. Starfield, Avatar, Alan Wake 2, Matrix demo are not running on this phone. Even if they port them because Apple paid them millions they will run like shit like they do on steamdeck.

 

[Represent.]

"The 15 Pro starts at $999 with 128GB of storage, and the Pro Max at $1,199 with 256GB of storage. "

The price has nothing to do with it. PS5/Series X are both less expensive than an iPhone and produce much better visuals. Its a choice Nintendo makes over and over again. So Im hoping this lights a fire under their ass. I dont know what the fuck everyone is 'ing at.

When iPhone games start selling 20 million at $60 a pop then maybe a fire will be lit.

The intention is the start. If anyone can make Nintendo flinch in the handheld gaming market its Apple.

 

[CuNi]

With a hideous amount of latency?

Still faster latency than any streaming solution out there for TVs?

 

[Apocryphon]

I wouldn’t know. I have never streamed any game.

Hmm. Ok. Sounds fair, i guess.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Its can confirm that Nintendo switch 2 can run RE 4 remake?

 

[Interfectum]

Its can confirm that Nintendo switch 2 can run RE 4 remake?

The Steam Deck can. No reason Switch 2 can't. It'll have built in DLSS 3 and is around the power profile of a PS4.

 

[Zuzu]

Maybe, I can’t completely remember what it was like when I did it a long time ago.

 

[Robb]

Of course it does. Ps5/XBSX aren’t portable. Had Ps5/XBSX been portable they’d have to cost a hell of a lot more if they were to have the same performance.

Sony have even made portables prior with PSP/Vita and none have been even remotely close to a price point of $999/1199.

 

[DenchDeckard]

They are going to make a console some time in the next 5 years or so aren't they?

 

[ThatOneGrunt]

I don’t know how they can make this work without controllers but good for those who want to play it on a phone.

I know phones can use controller but not every phone user has a phone compatible controller.

But it can use any Bluetooth controller. Xbox. Playstation. I think even Switch controllers?

Edit: A Google search has revealed to me that yes, you can use a switch controller on an iphone. Which is kind of an awesome option given it's size.

Why are you bring up PS5 and Xbox now? Those consoles are massive compared to an iPhone with large cooling systems to run those games at 4K.

Yes, price does actually have everything to do with it when you're comparing a Nintendo Switch to an iPhone which it has arguably the best chip on the market. What you're asking from Nintendo is to create a device that would go beyond the standard price of a console.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Gonna need to trade in my Iphone 13 pro max for an Iphone 15. Just to play these raytraced games.

 

[killatopak]

But it can use any Bluetooth controller. Xbox. Playstation. I think even Switch controllers?

True and you’re right. It’s just such a leap for me to assume someone will own any of those 3.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

They are going to make a console some time in the next 5 years or so aren't they?

And it will be as powerful as a PS4 and cost $1999

I am all in on the Apple ecosystem and getting this 15 Pro but would have a hard time buying an Apple console

 

[kiphalfton]

that's really cool. technology has come a long way that games are very scaleable now.

I'd expect no less from a device that costs $1k+

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

You're going to try and downplay the fact that a phone has a GPU that can compete with previous 1.8 TF home console GPU's?

Essentially, PS4 tech is literally 10 years old and in the age of Steam Deck it takes more to wow me as a dedicated gamer, in all honesty.

 

[64gigabyteram]

I’m just here for the meltdowns. This is gonna be fun. With this and AC Mirage coming to mobile… we’ll see how the narrative starts to change that mobile gaming isn’t real gaming.

Well no shit the narrative's gonna change. When big budget console games start getting ported to phone naturally people are going to want to consider phones more of a "real" gaming platform.

I'm fucking excited for this and I hope that we can see an Android version soon. I might have a reason to actually buy an expensive phone now....

 

[Magic Carpet]

I'd expect no less from a device that costs $1k+

799 for the small 899 for big.

Edit- Never mind I did not see it was for PRO versions

 

[Apocryphon]

Maybe, I can’t completely remember what it was like when I did it a long time ago.

I have never streamed a game and only ever mirrored videos so I don’t know. I imagine it wouldn’t be great for anything fast action.

 

[rofif]

god no

 

[64gigabyteram]

god no

remind me why it's only Represent. with the "bad opinions" tag again?

 

[Robb]

799 for the small 899 for big.

This news is only for the Pro models (the A17 chip) I think.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

This news is only for the Pro models (the A17 chip) I think.

Yeah, new CPU is locked behind the Pro models.

 

[Apocryphon]

799 for the small 899 for big.

$1099 and $1299 for the Pros, which is what these games were announced for.

 

[Magic Carpet]

This news is only for the Pro models (the A17 chip) I think.

Yeah, new CPU is locked behind the Pro models.

Ah yes I am reading that now on engadget.

 

[Sleepwalker]

These custom user titles are so fucking spot on.

Ill raise you this one :

I would not be surprised if AC Mirage looks better and runs at higher framerate on iPhone 15 Pro than it does on PS5/XSeX

Apple Silicon runs rings around the shitty AMD APU's in the home consoles

 

[rofif]

800$ to play re4 with touch controls
BAD OPIUNIONS MANS !

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

800$ to play re4 with touch controls

*$1099

 

[Apocryphon]

800$ to play re4 with touch controls

Nope. $1099 minimum. The non-Pro models don’t have the A17 Pro. From the stream, the genes were announced only for the Pro models.

 

[MrA]

I’m just here for the meltdowns. This is gonna be fun. With this and AC Mirage coming to mobile… we’ll see how the narrative starts to change that mobile gaming isn’t real gaming.

Problem with mobile isn't the mobile part, its the business model part

 

[L*][*N*K]

I don’t know how they can make this work without controllers but good for those who want to play it on a phone.

I know phones can use controller but not every phone user has a phone compatible controller.

There are a lot of controller options for mobile, I mean I wouldn’t play a game like that on my phone but there are options

 

[Kurotri]

This is one of those things where you say "damn that's pretty cool" but it never really takes off. Who wants to play AAA games on tiny screens? Plus you have to pay 1k for this phone. A console is half the damn price?

 

[rofif]

*$1099

Nope. $1099 minimum. The non-Pro models don’t have the A17 Pro. From the stream, the genes were announced only for the Pro models.

I have 13 pro which I've bought on release and that still triggers me.... and it's a good phone

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I would not be surprised if AC Mirage looks better and runs at higher framerate on iPhone 15 Pro than it does on PS5/XSeX

Apple Silicon runs rings around the shitty AMD APU's in the home consoles

Even if it would run at higher FPS and quality (it absolutely won't, btw) it will just thermal throttle after like 15-20 min of use and start dropping frames like crazy.

Video is time-stamped. The thermal throttling destroys the perf on that iPhone 14 Pro. This is will never happen in a home console which is designed to deliver a consistent experience no matter what.

 

[64gigabyteram]

800$ to play re4 with touch controls

come on bro. This sets an amazing precedent for mobile gaming. it can be actually worth something now instead of the joke we all point and laugh at

 

[64gigabyteram]

Who wants to play AAA games on tiny screens

130 million people, apparently.

 

[Kurotri]

130 million people, apparently.

Where do you see this?
