Steam Deck is my device to play many games from my past to present on the go. Anyway, have you downloaded Emudeck? This lets you play every single emulated retro games on the go, including MAME for arcade games and Yuzu/Ryujinx for Switch, etc.
So much amazing games so little time. Can be overwhelming
Awesome review Vic! Mine is due 2nd quarter which should be very soon. Can't wait!
Nice detailed review. I'm not much of a handheld / mobile player, but I think if I was I would buy this, or maybe wait a little bit to see how it does over time, and then buy. It does sort of echo the Switch. While I would not pursue this device for the high end graphical visual games I'd rather see on a PC, I do think there is a big draw to playing other games like you said, such as Indie titles or others that just need more accessibility versus the demand on hardware.
Playing Castlevania Lords of Shadow!!! That's literally EXACTLY what I intend to do with this!
Steam deck it's perfect for me,I am more of a console guy,ps5 and switch and while I have a switch mostly for indie and jrpg on the go,the steam deck it's just an easy no brainer for me to replace my switch it just cheaper in the long run over a switch
Is the model you are reviewing one with the upgraded screen glass or one of the other models?
I have a Pre order for Q2 2022. I can not wait I want to play lots of horror games on it
I mean, this is Steam so tecnically you can grab pieces of content that you are playing and also you can stream it already. Check out on Steam on settings 🙂
"built in streaming"
just install obs, the industry standard for screen recording, totally free and open source
check out the desktop customizations that you can do on KDE, it will blow your mind.
Awesome video, thanks Victor! Can't wait to get my Steam Deck!
How is Xbox Gamepass support on it?
nice review keep up the good work! I missed reviews on demand 😛
used to see this dude in G4
GPU isn't dedicated, it's Integrated
Great Review! Can’t wait for mine! I have a strong feeling that this product is going to be a huge hit, and I’m already hoping that they make a slightly more expensive model in the second generation that has maybe slightly better performance but more importantly a nice OLED screen.
Especially looking forward to games like Persona, Disco Elisium on this. Games that don’t necessarily require tons of power but would work great on the go with AirPods 🙂 gaming is so great right now!
Cool background music
I see that switch beside that steam deck
Victors excitement for games is honestly infectious
This is going to be my introduction into PC gaming. Love how it has the best bits of both consoles and PCs.
Really liked this review! I gotta get me one of these!
Relatable how you call the Steam Deck futuristic.
Lately, I have been thinking about all the cool technology that we have now, and how the Steam Deck will pave the way for even more technological ideas/advancements.
Humanity has, and will continue to engineer some very amazing things.
Also, I remember, as I child, I would see cartoons with the characters having video chats, and thinking that I wouldn't ever see such incredible technology.
Now, that sort of thing is older, simple tech.
How far things have come.
Be proud, people, for you are human, and we are endlessly capable creatures.
Fantastic love it – the amount of games available is amazing to me
I'm really curious to see if the Steam Deck, supports DRM free games from GOG. Especially since most of us got a divided games library from several platforms
Never been to your channel before but saw all the superheros in your background so gave it a shot and couldn't be happier. Possibly the best review I've seen yet! Great job man
The 4K 120Hz and 8K 60Hz are obviously not going to be possible for gaming, but are rather referring to the max capability of the port itself. Those resolutions/refresh rates should be possible for video playback though, like playing from Netflix/Disney/Plex.
this device will flop won’t be a hit doesn’t have Nintendo’s library of hits
Its finally a portable hand held gaming machine made for adults!
I used to watch Reviews on the Run back on TV when I was a kid. I always looked forward for your show Vic as your reviews always seemed to hit the sweet spots. Even after all these years I'm glad to see that your process of doing reviews has aged like fine wine. You covered all the important bits that other review outlets missed without going super overkill like other youtube channels (not knocking those channels, but those are for a specific audience). Keep doing the good work you've been doing for decades.
Great video.
Great review but why not compare the Steam Decks retro abilities vs oh I don’t know maybe the Intellevision Scamico 😂 assuming it’s not a vapourware scam
I'm pretty happy to just now find out Electric Playground is still around with the same damn host!
3:39 when any platform claims they can output 4k at 120hz (when the unit can barely get past 60fps on it's native screen) they are talking about the theoretical thoughput, and video quality. Mostly they say tha to be in compliance with HDMI v1.xx; it'a not about gaming performance.
Interesting. However, I’ll wait patiently for the SD3 (Steam Deck Three, baby).
I own a GPD Win Max, and a Switch OLED, and I can say that after experiencing OLED on a handheld, I still prefer my Switch. I don't know why these companies are still using LED technology in 2022. OLED is not this expensive shiny new thing anymore. It really should be standard by now (Even the PS Vita has an OLED display). So I'll pass on the Steam Deck, at least until valve releases an OLED version. My Win Max works perfectly fine, and it runs any game I've thrown at it, so I'm good.
