The device is just woefully underpowered now compared to the competition. It's fine if you just use it for emulation, old games, or just playing stuff at 30fps. But I want to have something with more power, especially at the new price point.
I'm patiently waiting for a Steam Deck 2.
I mean, if you're playing super high-fidelity games, you won't really absorb many details on that small screen. I get mine for indie games where I can turn down the wattage regularly.
I mean, it's a portable device. Put enough power into it, and it's just going to light my lap on fire.
The more powerful device (with enough cooling, and a wall connection) is the Steam Machine, and it's currently a lottery to get a chance to buy one. I am fully down to play more aggressive games, if I get a chance to buy the Steam Machine.
But I'm not excited for another Sega GameGear - another portable so powerful that it cannot be practically played away from a wall outlet.
I do want another SteamDeck, but I want it smaller, lighter, lower power, longer battery, and pocketable. I want a SteamDeck mini.
Its fantastic to play stuff remotely though, with sunshine/moonlight. I can VPN into my home network from coffee shops, hotels, etc and play much stronger titles streamed from my PC.
I have that for home networks, but I don’t think I could feel so confident in my security setup - even if Sunshine asks for a password or pairs devices, you’re giving Remote Desktop access relatively easily.
How's the input lag with that setup?
Fine for my needs, I don't play FPSs or platformers though, just single player RPG's and open world games.
Moonlight seems to use 10mb/s to stream, so its not very demanding on internet either.
I should definitely try it then. Playing Palworld right now so it might be a good game to try it on.
It's my only gaming device, so I don't have much to compare it against - but I enjoyed cyberpunk on it, and am currently enjoying baldur's gate 3. But yeah, I'll definitely get steam deck 2 as soon as.
Me too, but not looking forward to the price, and probably won’t wind up getting one 😔
