@@CasepbX red magic 9 pro has a snapdragon gen 3 chip which cost around $700 but still less then any other flagship phones and it has a massive battery with fast charging
Why you don't put some pc emulation from mobox or winlator, i really would love to see it specially for this android device's, i believe this emulator will be so necessary for arm devices when windows come in arm with Snapdragon X elite so this kind of machine's will benefit a lot from wine emulation 🎉
What? I didn't even get the bottom tier 1440p, I got somewhere in the middle and it was only 530. There are models with less ram, smaller screen for less.
@@const3llations_370 Because it's a fold and you are paying for that 'premium' feature. This is a single panel and is thus competing with other single panel androids. The best price to performance android phone is the red magic 9 pro which is $650 for an 8 gen 3 (newer processor) and an extra $80 for the gamepad attachment. Meaning it's still cheaper than going this route and it offers more features than the Ayaneo device.
yeah even compared to the odin 2 its pretty similar performance which is already pretty much at the top of what android apps can do currently. I dont really see a point for this as its close to a $50 premium for the lowest end pocket s which has less storage and ram than the price comparable odin. All that this adds is more premium build quality and what looks like worse ergonomics.
No It is Inflation! In Case you dident realise everything is getting more expensiv noweadays! But you are right £500 for an Android handhald is way to mutsh!
Looks cool but I'll still stick with odin 2 mainly for repairability, battery, and ergonomics. All I need for odin 2 right now is an OLED borderless screen.
Feeling the ergonomics is a big deal here. Doesn't look comfy for extended sessions. Like my odin lite, love it, but hands star aching after not too long due to the slim design. Not to mention the switch in handheld mode!
I would still take Odin 2 over this. Running at 1440p is unnecessary at this size, and will require extra power from the AyaNeo's smaller battery. The only benefit that I see is if you want to connect this to a monitor or TV. (it has a really beautiful design though)
No reason to. Odin 2 will outperform it pretty much forever. The small bump in processing is massively offset by the glass and metal thin construction. She thermal throttles pretty bad. Still overpowered, but compared to other offerings it falls short.
@@Healthy_Toki It is. Cheaper, bigger battery, newer hardware around the core, less fragile, and no thermal throttling created by dumbfuck glass and metal construction while trying to be extra thin in a gaming handheld. It's a great premium attempt, but it falls short.
If this thing had the option to run windows 11 arm (or even Ubuntu) I'd get it today. It's beautiful hardware and the ability to actually play some PC games and such in such a sleek form factor is really appealing
So is Switch emulation dead? I know emulators are being taken down left and right but I'm sure there's a few out there that have to work. I literally would probably only buy this to play GameCube and switch games.
The performance level of Odin 2 is already more than enough to handle all available Android emulators. Not to mention that its value is overwhelming in its range of activities. The AYA Neo Procket S is more premium but costs a lot more, plus the battery is 25% smaller in comparison. A 1440p screen for emulation only helps consume more battery and produce more heat and doesn't deliver much visual difference within 6 inches
alot more where my guy? the odin 2 pro "which most people are going for" costs 369 dollars.. the pocket s early bird is currently going for 400 dollars.. that's 8.5% more only.. now, if it's 8.5% more valuable is up for debate. i personally think it is for the quality, if it is as premium as it looks.
eh we dont care. We want the pocket s. I say this as someone who owns all of ayns devices Ayn just doesnt provide the same premium feel that ayaneo does to their devices
Really want to see something like this with a lower end Intel/AMD chip like the N100 and SteamOS. Handhelds have been all about performance, and we're losing some of the ergonomics/portability that the Pocket S brings. Android just isn't enough for me.
the problem with the steam deck is that lot of game don't run well under 1080p and aren't supported for that reason, especailly because of "small text". so it misses a little something for theses handhelp to run pc games properly, meanwhile this device is awesome to play retrogames
There's a huge difference in the Benchmark Monitor section of Antutu between the 2 devices at 11:20 in regards to temperature and battery drain; and they appear to have been benchmarked using different versions of the v10 Beta (probably with the newer version changing how the benchmark stresses the device, I'd imagine). For one thing, the Pocket S drained by 19% battery, and the Odin only drained by 3% during the benchmark. Secondly, the temperature curve for the benchmark look *completely* different (with the Pocket S more closely resembling the rough shape of my Z Fold 2 running the same version). Edit: fixed a typo
I was really excited about this thing until they announced it was going to have IPS and then, that price… lmao. Now I’m gonna wait until this thing costs $200, or the next similar thing with AMOLED gets released at a reasonable price.
This costs around 484 usd here in the Ph for the 16/1TB version (1080p; with case, thumb caps, and tempered glass) while the Odin 2 pro 12/256 costs around 394 usd without accessories. Considering that you would probably buy a microsd for the odin 2 (a 1TB costs around 100 usd here) plus a case and tempered glass (around 15 usd total), the Pocket S seems the better deal here
This is what i want to see on these handheld devices, ANDROID! It just makes much more sense than trying to put windows on it. Mobile games are getting really good. I love playing Warzone mobile, Diablo immortal, Fortnite etc., on the go without having to be tied to a charger after less than a hour of gaming. I own a steam deck and i only used it a few times before it went back in the box for good. The battery life was 1 hour or less and the experience just wasnt great. If they just focused on making devices that can run mobile games really good, i think it'll sell better than the windows devices.

Hey man, can you show it running Winlator with some games?? It's such an awesome handheld. I don't think it's high-priced like others think, because you get a lot for what you pay for. A phone with similar specs would be like 1100+! The GPU in that thing is crazy! Awesome video!
I always appreciate when you include Genshin game play even though you aren’t a Genshin player (love that 19 damage 😂). Being able to play Genshin/Honkai Star Rail is always a deciding factor for me.
Until we see 360 and ps3 emulators ported to android we have reached peak android emulation. Been able to emulate gamecube pretty well since my galaxy s8 which is what, 7 years ago? , maybe not at 10x resolution...but who the hell needs that on a handheld. Sure, a device like this might even be able to emulate 360/ps3 when those emulators eventually arrive, but handhelds with this power will be budget handhelds by then. Absolutely no point spending so much on an android device unless youre wanting to play 4k on your tv. But then you could just use any of your android phones from the last 5 years if you had a fairly decent one.
How is the battery life compared to Logitech G Cloud while streaming games? I'm not (yet) that much into emulation, but I'm trying to justify Pocket S for myself :D
Respectfully i would love to meet a super human capable of seeing the difference in pixel densit ybetwen 1080p and 1440p on a tiny 6" display with the same specs regardless the resoluton. This guy would definitely be a real life Legolas. 😂
Pocket-ability and battery life. I have a steam deck OLED and I love it, but I’m considering getting one of these as well just so I can take it with me easier
So are we gonna ignore the fact that it's more flat than retroid pocket 4? The rp4 had soo many backlash because of the "very common" ergonomics vs anbernic RG556 form factor. It's only fair to do the same with this device? 🤔
Can you please show us a lengthy comparison of emulation performance differences between this and the Odin 2? I love my Odin 2 but the thinner form factor on the pocket s is so attractive
Yes you can buy a steamdeck for the same price, but is the steamdeck pocketable? The build quality of this looks better than the odin (doubt it feels as good) but the design / build quality matches the price point.
This thing looks amazing I really dig the design but I can't justify the cost when I have a phone that can do the same albeit not as convenient with a built in controller. I would use this for emulation and streaming from my PC. Android gaming is just no good.
Very nice looking device but I will stick with my Odin 2. The extra power means nothing when the emulation situation has max out currently at ps2, GC, Wii and mid size switch games for Android. Until till the software side of emulation moves forward, most new devices more powerful than snapdragon gen 2 will go un use powers wise and becomes pointless.
I'm looking to transform my old smartphone into a streaming gaming device, for like spme gamepass, and retrogaming, do you know an OS made for gaming i can use, like an équivalent of chimera os but for android?
I saw warzone on your homescreen. Is this working? On my retroid pocket 4 pro I had to root the device… but ordered the ayaneo pocket S and hope it Will work!
Can you tell me here in the comments if you are one of the people with enough disposable income to purchase these things. I can't afford to get enough food a month much less buy one of these things.
I love the Steam Deck. I practically use it every day or almost every day. When I leave the house, it’s usually my iPhone SE and Steam Deck that goes with me. While I do love my Vita slim and Switch Lite, I don’t always have the urge to play them. Since getting the Steam Deck back in February, I gamed more these last three months than my previous 15 years. I already have over 120 hours playing Final Fantasy VII Remake. Add another 30 hours for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and another 40 hours for Shenmue III. I’m currently trying to platinum FF7 Remake but I heard recently from a RUclipsr that trying to plat Rebirth is a nightmare! Not worth it he said. He said it took him over 200 hours to plat Rebirth while Remake was only around 70. And the level of difficulty goes way beyond hard mode and with tedious mini games. Once I get Rebirth for Steam which could be by 2026, I will not attempt to go plat for it. I actually don’t believe getting plat for Remake is really worth it either. It’s to feed my ego. I didn’t grow up during the trophy era. Once I beat a game and saw the end credits, I was done with it. I don’t want to waste another 50 hours on that game. Since I already have 56/63 achievements for FF7 Remake Intergrade, I might as well complete them all to get my first platinum trophy for any game. The six tasks I have left for getting plat on Remake….. Hit every big box (Materia Mavern) Complete hard mode for the base game Complete hard mode for the DLC Beat Ultimate Weapon Beat Ultimate Weapon 2.0 Beat Weiss I will probably save Weiss and the Pride & Joy ones last. Still only have 7 of the 18 levels completed on hard mode for the base game. And none for Yuffie’s yet. After I’m done getting platinum for FF7RI, I may attempt to go plat for Shenmue III. I’m reading it’s easier and only takes about 30 hours to go plat. Something about playing Final Fantasy VII and Shenmue games that I’m so familiar with, it’s like being at home and doing chores. The OG FF7 and Shenmue II on Dreamcast and Xbox are my top 2 favorite games of all-time. Their music has this great ambiance when playing them. As disappointing of an ending and story that Shenmue III had, it might actually have the smoothest gameplay of the trilogy. The mini games are funner. No annoying walking on a catwalk/plank like in Shenmue II where if you fall, you need to completely go back to the start. After I plat Shenmue III, I will probably play Uncharted 4 next. I still have hours and hours to play on the Deck. I’ll probably have over 1000 hours playing video games before the year is over if I already played 200 hours for it after three months. From 2008-2020, I doubt I accumulated 1000 hours from playing video games. I usually play my Deck for about an hour or two almost daily. Then sometimes more when I get home while it’s charging. It’s also great for watching Pluto TV if I’m too tired to play games. I’m trying to go plat on FF7RI but I’m doing so at a leisurely pace. No rush. I no longer have that OCD or huge ego to care if I go plat or not. *ROG* *Ally* *X* What do you think of it? Just seems like new hardware for RUclipsrs to talk about but is it really that exciting? My excitement actually comes from getting the first Ally used for $250 like I did for my 512 GB LCDeck. I’m determined to get an Ally with Z1 Extreme for only $250. But of course, I still hate Asus. Never had a great experience with that Taiwanese company. I’m aware how people’s microSD cards gets ruined from the Ally but I have no intention putting one in it. I’ll only be using the internal storage and don’t plan putting a lot of games on it. I actually prefer the Legion Go but if I see an Ally for dirt cheap, I’ll get it. It’s smaller too. It is overkill to own a Deck and Ally, but since the Deck might be too weak for FF16, I might as well get an Ally if it’s dirt cheap. And I do need a Windows device again to do certain things I can’t on Linux. Ally X seems to be a battery life upgrade which is needed as who wants to keep playing AAA games for only one hour? But I wonder how much? It might go up in price like the Deck OLED did. While a used original Ally will have a fire sale on OfferUp and can be bought for under $300 this summer after the Ally X gets released. Wait after June 2 to see last year’s Ally selling for dirt cheap on OfferUp. Just make sure you’re getting the Z1 Extreme. I honestly don’t know if getting a Windows PC handheld with Z1 Extreme is worth it though? Yeah, it’s more powerful than any version of the Steam Deck, but it’s not like the PS5 era has brought a ton of games for us to play. I feel AAA titles died with the PS4. The first AAA title was the OG FF7. Then AAA titles died after the FF7 remakes. Who has time to wait that long for AAA titles? FF7 Rebirth’s sales are disappointing for a few reasons. This game should have NOT been a PS5 exclusive in the first place. More people owned a PS4 in 2020 than a PS5 in 2024. But what softens that argument is Rebirth is selling less than FF16 from last year. So it’s not solely because it’s a PS5 exclusive. The other reason is maybe it is tough to market a direct sequel and not everyone loved Remake with some divisive narrative choices they made? I’m currently trying to plat Remake on the Deck and it can be quite tedious running through hallways. Hence, why I still prefer the OG. It flowed better as a game and it’s easier to pick up and play without thinking too hard. Can spam the buttons. Remake’s battle system can be quite fun but I can understand some fans from the OG who didn’t like Remake not liking it’s very complicated nature dealing with stagger and ATB fill ups. A lot of gamers who played the OG have become more casual with games. They got families to raise. No time figuring out some complex battle system. It’s a shame too because I really do want to play Rebirth but refuse to buy a PS5. My favorite part from the OG was Disc 2 when the characters finally left Midgar. But what can we do? Square made a few errors like making it a PS5 exclusive and some gameplay/narrative changes that didn’t sit well for some OG fans. Is having the power close to the base PlayStation 5 while on the go even worth it anymore if this 9th generation has killed AAA titles for good? What’s the point? Those AAA titles are getting way too expensive like making a blockbuster movie and they take too long to wait on them. There’s this overstatement that we’re experiencing a crash. No, we are not. The video game industry is far larger than it was back in 1983 when the Atari 2600 dominated homes. The future for console gaming are PC handhelds that can also be docked to a TV or monitor. We’re not heading into a crash. It’s not all gloom and doom. No games will be buried into a New Mexico desert. We own too many games we would probably never ever play. It’s 2024 and I haven’t enjoyed playing video games this much since my PS1 days. Forget PS2, my PS1 days from 1996-2002 when I beat dozens of PS1 games. While gamers have complained about the lack of good games from this gen, we are currently living in the greatest era of portables/handhelds. We’ve come a long way since the Game & Watch and Tiger Electronics handhelds prior to Game Boy. USA Released Year 1989: Game Boy, Lynx 1990: TurboExpress 1991: Game Gear, Lynx II 1995: Nomad 1996: Game Boy Pocket 1998: Game Boy Color 1999: Neo Geo Pocket Color 2001: Game Boy Advance 2003: Game Boy Advance SP 2004: DS 2006: DS Lite 2005: PSP, Game Boy Micro 2007: PSP 2000 2008: PSP 3000 2009: PSP Go, DSi, DSi XL 2011: PSP Street, 3DS 2012: PS Vita, 3DS XL 2013: 2DS 2014: PS Vita 2000 2015: new 3DS XL, new 3DS 2017: Switch, new 2DS XL 2018: Switch V2 2019: Switch Lite 2021: Switch OLED 2022: Steam Deck 2023: ROG Ally, Legion Go, Deck OLED 2024: ROG Ally X I love the era we’re living in now with handhelds like the Deck. It amazes me how a Switch Lite can be that small but have more power than a PS3 and Wii U. It started to get good for us by 2017 thanks to the Switch and emulation started getting really good by 2019 and good on Android by 2021. Why would I want to go back to the 80s through 00s for my handhelds? PC handhelds are closer to the specs of the bigger home consoles. Anyhoo, long live the Steam Deck. Going to play my games now. I’ll get the Deck 2 when it arrives. The Switch 2 will be my secondary handheld behind the Deck 2. Only used for Nintendo titles. Then I’ll have a Windows PC handheld for the sake of having more power and having a Windows PC again. But I’ll always remember my first Steam Deck fondly for changing my life. Greatest handheld I’ve ever owned.
The Odin 2 Killer. Higher price, thermal throttling, smaller battery, older accessory hardware(sticks,buttons), missing software at lunch despite being ANDROID. Lol, swing and a miss, then the bat they swung flew off and killed grandma.

The fact this doesn't have a 120hz display is a deal breaker for me. For the price that they are asking, it should've been standard.
400$ just to play? At least the Steam deck and aly rog can transform into a real computer.

Stick to the G cloud - it's the most efficient device for streaming and the display is in the upper class.
Respectfully i would love to meet a super human capable of seeing the difference in pixel densit ybetwen 1080p and 1440p on a tiny 6" display with the same specs regardless the resoluton.
This guy would definitely be a real life Legolas. 😂
Serious question at this price point. What is the reason to get this over a steam deck?
Pocket-ability and battery life. I have a steam deck OLED and I love it, but I’m considering getting one of these as well just so I can take it with me easier
This would make a great phone, if only they'd add a sim card slot!
So are we gonna ignore the fact that it's more flat than retroid pocket 4? The rp4 had soo many backlash because of the "very common" ergonomics vs anbernic RG556 form factor. It's only fair to do the same with this device? 🤔
Can you please show us a lengthy comparison of emulation performance differences between this and the Odin 2? I love my Odin 2 but the thinner form factor on the pocket s is so attractive
Yes you can buy a steamdeck for the same price, but is the steamdeck pocketable? The build quality of this looks better than the odin (doubt it feels as good) but the design / build quality matches the price point.
This thing looks amazing I really dig the design but I can't justify the cost when I have a phone that can do the same albeit not as convenient with a built in controller. I would use this for emulation and streaming from my PC. Android gaming is just no good.
Very nice looking device but I will stick with my Odin 2. The extra power means nothing when the emulation situation has max out currently at ps2, GC, Wii and mid size switch games for Android. Until till the software side of emulation moves forward, most new devices more powerful than snapdragon gen 2 will go un use powers wise and becomes pointless.
I'm looking to transform my old smartphone into a streaming gaming device, for like spme gamepass, and retrogaming, do you know an OS made for gaming i can use, like an équivalent of chimera os but for android?
wtf...why?
odin 2 pro and end of story!
Ayaneo is trying to be the Apple of handheld gaming! Very overpriced devices and really something no one asked for....🤷🏾♂️
announcement of a new portable machine next week called "ayaneo pocket micro"🙄😂
You'd think with almost $500,000 in startup funds they would have been able to produce a bit more than 800 units of the 1440p model
Can you at least confirm if the issues with the switch games from before were fixed?

Android handhelds are pointless when ANY MODERN ANDROID past 2018 is more than capable.
Love the look, hate the price. Ayaneo makes way too many products. There's competing in the space, and then there's just oversaturating it.
I saw warzone on your homescreen. Is this working? On my retroid pocket 4 pro I had to root the device… but ordered the ayaneo pocket S and hope it Will work!
you should try winlator since you like to test emulators
Man, I love the ascetics of this thing but i just can't justify the price.
How about the the thermals under load?
How warm does it feel compared to Odin 2 and win4?
Could you try and play some games on winulator on this puppy, this new gpu has me excited
All these videos just remind me how incredibly dumb it is that genshin STILL somehow doesn't use controllers lol.
how comfortable is it vs odin 2? also, how do battery lifes compare?
Odin is more comfortable. This device is flat and slimmer. Aya Neo does offer a case for it with grips built in. Its an extra $35
Almost looks like a phone. If they had slide controls so you could just make it into a regular phone; then it probably appeal to a wider market
Getting some Retroid Pocket vibed seeing the design.
Just give me the Odin 2 or RG556 design.
There is no other device that looks like this and the rp4 is literally a clone of the switch Looks nothing like this.
AyaNeo is going to regret releasing too many models too soon. This shit must be a nightmare to support. It doesn't inspire confidence at all.
Can you tell me here in the comments if you are one of the people with enough disposable income to
purchase these things. I can't afford to get enough food a month much less buy one of these things.
What about Winlator? Is it work on pocket s?
what is the refresh rate of the dispaly?
60hz
@@nonecool thanks man
Lol i wish u would've atleast showed the controller mapping part for the android games and the d-pad mapping as well smh
Only would consider this over my Odin 2 if it had an AMOLED
Steam should really consider porting games to android like modern warfare, metal gear, forza, and others
can we please have a pocket S build quality and materials and form factor in the steam deck size?
Can't deny, it is flipping beautiful.
Mobile phone with a fan for gaming. I don’t think it compete with rog ally and steam deck
I love the Steam Deck. I practically use it every day or almost every day. When I leave the house, it’s usually my iPhone SE and Steam Deck that goes with me. While I do love my Vita slim and Switch Lite, I don’t always have the urge to play them.
Since getting the Steam Deck back in February, I gamed more these last three months than my previous 15 years. I already have over 120 hours playing Final Fantasy VII Remake. Add another 30 hours for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and another 40 hours for Shenmue III.
I’m currently trying to platinum FF7 Remake but I heard recently from a RUclipsr that trying to plat Rebirth is a nightmare! Not worth it he said. He said it took him over 200 hours to plat Rebirth while Remake was only around 70. And the level of difficulty goes way beyond hard mode and with tedious mini games.
Once I get Rebirth for Steam which could be by 2026, I will not attempt to go plat for it. I actually don’t believe getting plat for Remake is really worth it either. It’s to feed my ego. I didn’t grow up during the trophy era. Once I beat a game and saw the end credits, I was done with it. I don’t want to waste another 50 hours on that game.
Since I already have 56/63 achievements for FF7 Remake Intergrade, I might as well complete them all to get my first platinum trophy for any game. The six tasks I have left for getting plat on Remake…..
Hit every big box (Materia Mavern)
Complete hard mode for the base game
Complete hard mode for the DLC
Beat Ultimate Weapon
Beat Ultimate Weapon 2.0
Beat Weiss
I will probably save Weiss and the Pride & Joy ones last. Still only have 7 of the 18 levels completed on hard mode for the base game. And none for Yuffie’s yet. After I’m done getting platinum for FF7RI, I may attempt to go plat for Shenmue III. I’m reading it’s easier and only takes about 30 hours to go plat.
Something about playing Final Fantasy VII and Shenmue games that I’m so familiar with, it’s like being at home and doing chores. The OG FF7 and Shenmue II on Dreamcast and Xbox are my top 2 favorite games of all-time. Their music has this great ambiance when playing them.
As disappointing of an ending and story that Shenmue III had, it might actually have the smoothest gameplay of the trilogy. The mini games are funner. No annoying walking on a catwalk/plank like in Shenmue II where if you fall, you need to completely go back to the start.
After I plat Shenmue III, I will probably play Uncharted 4 next. I still have hours and hours to play on the Deck. I’ll probably have over 1000 hours playing video games before the year is over if I already played 200 hours for it after three months. From 2008-2020, I doubt I accumulated 1000 hours from playing video games.
I usually play my Deck for about an hour or two almost daily. Then sometimes more when I get home while it’s charging. It’s also great for watching Pluto TV if I’m too tired to play games. I’m trying to go plat on FF7RI but I’m doing so at a leisurely pace. No rush. I no longer have that OCD or huge ego to care if I go plat or not.
*ROG* *Ally* *X*
What do you think of it? Just seems like new hardware for RUclipsrs to talk about but is it really that exciting? My excitement actually comes from getting the first Ally used for $250 like I did for my 512 GB LCDeck. I’m determined to get an Ally with Z1 Extreme for only $250. But of course, I still hate Asus. Never had a great experience with that Taiwanese company.
I’m aware how people’s microSD cards gets ruined from the Ally but I have no intention putting one in it. I’ll only be using the internal storage and don’t plan putting a lot of games on it. I actually prefer the Legion Go but if I see an Ally for dirt cheap, I’ll get it. It’s smaller too. It is overkill to own a Deck and Ally, but since the Deck might be too weak for FF16, I might as well get an Ally if it’s dirt cheap. And I do need a Windows device again to do certain things I can’t on Linux.
Ally X seems to be a battery life upgrade which is needed as who wants to keep playing AAA games for only one hour? But I wonder how much? It might go up in price like the Deck OLED did. While a used original Ally will have a fire sale on OfferUp and can be bought for under $300 this summer after the Ally X gets released. Wait after June 2 to see last year’s Ally selling for dirt cheap on OfferUp. Just make sure you’re getting the Z1 Extreme.
I honestly don’t know if getting a Windows PC handheld with Z1 Extreme is worth it though? Yeah, it’s more powerful than any version of the Steam Deck, but it’s not like the PS5 era has brought a ton of games for us to play. I feel AAA titles died with the PS4. The first AAA title was the OG FF7. Then AAA titles died after the FF7 remakes. Who has time to wait that long for AAA titles?
FF7 Rebirth’s sales are disappointing for a few reasons. This game should have NOT been a PS5 exclusive in the first place. More people owned a PS4 in 2020 than a PS5 in 2024. But what softens that argument is Rebirth is selling less than FF16 from last year. So it’s not solely because it’s a PS5 exclusive.
The other reason is maybe it is tough to market a direct sequel and not everyone loved Remake with some divisive narrative choices they made? I’m currently trying to plat Remake on the Deck and it can be quite tedious running through hallways. Hence, why I still prefer the OG. It flowed better as a game and it’s easier to pick up and play without thinking too hard. Can spam the buttons.
Remake’s battle system can be quite fun but I can understand some fans from the OG who didn’t like Remake not liking it’s very complicated nature dealing with stagger and ATB fill ups. A lot of gamers who played the OG have become more casual with games. They got families to raise. No time figuring out some complex battle system.
It’s a shame too because I really do want to play Rebirth but refuse to buy a PS5. My favorite part from the OG was Disc 2 when the characters finally left Midgar. But what can we do? Square made a few errors like making it a PS5 exclusive and some gameplay/narrative changes that didn’t sit well for some OG fans.
Is having the power close to the base PlayStation 5 while on the go even worth it anymore if this 9th generation has killed AAA titles for good? What’s the point? Those AAA titles are getting way too expensive like making a blockbuster movie and they take too long to wait on them.
There’s this overstatement that we’re experiencing a crash. No, we are not. The video game industry is far larger than it was back in 1983 when the Atari 2600 dominated homes. The future for console gaming are PC handhelds that can also be docked to a TV or monitor. We’re not heading into a crash. It’s not all gloom and doom. No games will be buried into a New Mexico desert. We own too many games we would probably never ever play.
It’s 2024 and I haven’t enjoyed playing video games this much since my PS1 days. Forget PS2, my PS1 days from 1996-2002 when I beat dozens of PS1 games. While gamers have complained about the lack of good games from this gen, we are currently living in the greatest era of portables/handhelds. We’ve come a long way since the Game & Watch and Tiger Electronics handhelds prior to Game Boy.

I love the era we’re living in now with handhelds like the Deck. It amazes me how a Switch Lite can be that small but have more power than a PS3 and Wii U. It started to get good for us by 2017 thanks to the Switch and emulation started getting really good by 2019 and good on Android by 2021. Why would I want to go back to the 80s through 00s for my handhelds? PC handhelds are closer to the specs of the bigger home consoles.
Anyhoo, long live the Steam Deck. Going to play my games now. I’ll get the Deck 2 when it arrives. The Switch 2 will be my secondary handheld behind the Deck 2. Only used for Nintendo titles. Then I’ll have a Windows PC handheld for the sake of having more power and having a Windows PC again. But I’ll always remember my first Steam Deck fondly for changing my life. Greatest handheld I’ve ever owned.
The 1440 p one isnt available anymore so why mention that its an option 😆 also Minecraft can run on a potatoe...
Do we know the refresh rate on this screen? I want a machine for emulation but id like to run cod at 120..
How did u not show warzone mobile lol and that's how we know something ain't right🏌🏿♂️
Snapdragon 8 gen3 seems better, which makes me wonder why uses G3x
The Odin 2 Killer. Higher price, thermal throttling, smaller battery, older accessory hardware(sticks,buttons), missing software at lunch despite being ANDROID. Lol, swing and a miss, then the bat they swung flew off and killed grandma.
i see you have warzone mobile installed. Does it work out of the box? Any issues running that title? odin/retroid has had issues
I dunno man... I want my game handheld looks like a game handheld, and this ain't right in the feels..
The Pocket S speakers are very weak sounding compared to an Odin 2 or Steam deck.
Does it have bypass charging?
Still waiting on an update on Winlator
Will The AYANEO Pocket S Play On The TV If It Does How
Hey ETA, how does it fare playing Warzone?
Hello! Can you please tell me how does Zelda TOTK work on this? Thanks
These are things that generate needs that you didn't know you had 😂
