    But you don’t need 4k resolution to have a great game. That’s what OP is getting at. When making a game for beefier hardware, you can use the better graphics as a crutch instead of focusing on better gameplay and story.

      Thats why SNES rpgs stories were so great. And the rpgs today are just long winded slogs.

      Data limits forced writers to cut the fat out of their scripts for the games, and get to the point.

      I don’t need 35 hours to say “thats the bad guy”.

        I was gonna mention that. The Switch is first and foremost a handheld device. You’d get no benefit from squeezing 4k onto a 7" display. The only thing it would do is decrease the battery life, which would be made even worse with a more powerful GPU.

          I understand, I have a deck hd screen and I don’t believe it would matter. I don’t know why so many downvotes on an objectively factual statement, like a retina display at 7 inches isn’t 4k, and idk who would seriously hookup a steamdeck to a 4k display where it obviously would never keep up at native. Literally only an idiot would downvote me, but here we are on social media.
