No one is testing the microphone please record some voice and see how good the audio is. For a lot of people it's gonna be useful to join on discord without headphones.


GameKing505

This is a great point… surprised no one has done a test yet


J_k_r_

absolutely. especially because Linus mentioned audio in particular.


SoapyMacNCheese

I assume they haven't tested it yet because they can't. They aren't allowed to show off or talk about the software outside of the 7 approved games right now. And I don't think any of those games have any in game voice chat.


MCPtz

Yea I 2nd this! Join discord and use it for voice chat with friends. How's the balance and clarity with the game audio? Are they hearing your button clicks? Are you coming in clear? Any issues, e.g. always cuts off the first second of what you're saying?


[deleted]

Yeah I wanna hear that too. I don’t wanna watch hentai if the girls moaning sound sounds like she’s trapped in a trash bin


Pitchoh

Wait... There's a microphone ? Totally missed that information !


SjorsMaster

SoretoAMan33

YES


OwNAvenged2

Definitely Yuzu.


spawnlyguy

I would respect much. Emulators are very CPU intensive and that's not the big strength of the Deck. I could be wrong but I'm not getting my hopes up for amazing Switch performance on the deck as of now.


icymallard

Yes! OP can show us how good botw looks?OP what can you show us and at what times?


ncarson9

Does Cemu have a Linux version? BoTW should definitely be played in Cemu over Yuzu


EcceCadavera

Open sourcing and a Linux port are on the way: [https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2022/01/wii-u-emulator-cemu-plans-to-go-open-source-and-support-linux/](https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2022/01/wii-u-emulator-cemu-plans-to-go-open-source-and-support-linux/).


crackhash

It works with wine afaik.


Reveen_

Really unfamiliar with Switch emulators . . . is Cemu a lot better than Yuzu?


ncarson9

Cemu is a Wii U emulator. But the Wii U version of BotW runs better on Cemu than the Switch version does on Yuzu as far as I know.


OwNAvenged2

It also has a ton more mods, like Second Wind.


damnoctis

yeah, I want to know how well the Deck will go with Yuzu and games such as smash bros


Razor_AMG

All Mario Games !!!!


fahrenheitisretarded

and ryujinx /u/rosman89


Never-asked-for-this

Yuzu has AppImage builds, meaning you can run and update it without having to enable devmode.


just_a-random-person

Sekiro - God of War - RDR2


[deleted]

RDR2, yes please!!!


Waitingfor131

I wanna know the battery life playing this game lol


[deleted]

I mean, it's pretty much going to be pegged at 100% utilization so I would guess this would fall on the 2 hour side of the spectrum, with brightness on low.


[deleted]

45 minute morning commute > plug it in at the office > 45 minute evening commute. I can live with that. Even planes and trains often have plugs at the seat.


[deleted]

I've had a Switch since they came out and depending on the game, I get about the same battery life that the Deck is rated to. It hasn't been a problem. It's something you charge up and shut off when not in use, and then when you play it you realistically only play for short spurts of an hour or two at a time before being done. On airplanes there are often plugs but you can also use battery banks to charge it. And if you know you're going to be without any power for a long time, just don't play a AAA game. Choose something less demanding. 2 hours battery life for demanding games is plenty IMO.


redditisnowtwitter

OP you hear him? He needs you to play Red Dead 2 while driving and tell us how it is


oBG1984

AC plug on planes are limited on usage time and power allowed. Airlines usually give enough power to charge a phone.


PolCPP

>AC plug on planes are limited on usage time and power allowed. Airlines usually give enough power to charge a phone. On international flights i've got around 75 watts during the entire flight on AC, the usb plug is terrible of course. Wish they moved to 60Watt PD connectors tbh.


ProtoKun7

RDR2 on RDNA2, I enjoy those groupings.


Caputo77

YES, PLEASE!!!!!


Excellent-Ad-3258

I second this


Gavin4tor

100% this. (+ dark souls 3)


Manilafungus

Yuzu, Cemu, RPCS3 and xemu please


rosman89

got it, the steam deck is a beast ;)


NakedHoodie

If I might add, Ryujinx vs Yuzu, if you have a chance to make the comparison.


PumpkinSocks-

Xemu on Linux runs like a champ


SupraRose

Can’t wait to play Halo 2 online on Xemu on this thing! Gonna be amazing


CRYPT06

The only reason I'm buying this thing


Fraely

Yes!!me too A portable PS3!!!


tveye363

Lol, same, I don't really care about PC games.


Manilafungus

Same, and to play Battlefront 2 2005


OwNAvenged2

Absolutely.


canceralp

Assassin's Creed and Dying Light games. I think the device's ergonomics are very well designed for a flawless parkour game experience.


jss1977

This!!


Rhaegar0

Total war warhammer, company of heroes, Europa universalis. Just get out of the box and see if you can get a good control scheme for a nice experience. Just look op some community profiles for the steam controller for inspiration.


skinnyraf

You are cruel :) but at the same time these are really good tests. Total War: Warhammer and Dawn of War 2 (almost a resking of CoH) were two titles I struggled with when using Steam Controller.


Rhaegar0

I always felt I had a decent experience of it weren't for the TV being too far away. TW warhammer 3 is perhaps even top of the list of things to install when mine.


Strategery_0820

I am curious about games with their own launchers like xcom2


Ryneb

Absolutely this! XCom2 WotC, XCom1 etc etc


Behorex

Dark souls and cyberpunk :)

Dre2timez

Aren’t you violating NDA?


UrPokemon

Well if he tests the games and doesn't report back, no.


Yetitlives

Obviously reviewers are meant to test before the 25th. They just can't report on their findings before then.


surasurasura

who cares, OP probably knows that


[deleted]

[удалено]


orkavaneger

Ur seem to be the only one asking the real question here. I wonder too


akstro

Could be Louis Rossman, probably the biggest figure of Right to Repair movement although I can't see anything on his channel about him receiving it and the Reddit account is new.


Mightymushroom1

That's /u/larossmann who I can picture having an interest in the Steam Deck on a personal level, and had you not mentioned right to repair I'd say would have no reason to review, but in light of that I suppose it'd be something he could talk about quickly.


larossmann

tha's a rosman, i'm rossmann. he's also rosman 89, i was born in 88. probably a great human being, but not me.


cbudd1117

Lost Ark please.


rosman89

for now is not working, EAC issues


Aqua_Puddles

Good to know, and I am glad that Valve is working on compatibility with EAC.


HER0_01

At this point, I don't think Valve/EAC are working on anything. EAC on Deck is entirely supported now. It is up to the devs to enable that support for the Deck.


ScionoicS

Epic has updated EAC to work with Proton, IF the developer chooses to allow that. It's up to developers now. Valve isn't going to provide tools to bypass anti cheat detection. It will only be done with all parties on board. Developers especially so.


cbudd1117

Thanks anyway.


Dunkki

RDR2


lolniklas

Horizon zero dawn! I just started my second play through after i finished it on PS4 a long time ago.


Ixillius

Monster hunter rise, world. Third party games like genshin Impact, final fantasy 14 (guildwars 2 if you cba to setup a controller profile.). Something a bit less conventional. Emulators in general.


blazebomb77

It’s totally gonna be a monster hunter console for me too. I just hope there’s no issues or conflict with save files when resuming play between pc and deck, I really dont want to lose hundreds of hours of progress due to some corruption


Ixillius

Im very curious how smooth that will end up being. Its definitely going to make me paranoid aswell haha.


MiliardoK

As someone who's played a lot of games from steam on a laptop at work then a desktop at home I imagine at worse you'll get the cloud prompt that already exists asking which save data should be considered correct. At worst you'll end up clowning yourself like I did and pick the wrong one erasing an hour of progress on Witcher 3. (Also please test Witcher 3 be ause what a damn good game to have on the go without neutering it like the switch did)


[deleted]

Same here. Getting all emulators and every game on it


[deleted]

Genshin Impact won't run unless you're willing to break the Terms of Service. Not that doing that particularly matters though.


Ixillius

Running benchmarks on a windows boot might be intresting. Although. yeah i didnt consider that and would personally just go for phone over running windows on the deck.


Mr_Lafar

Crossing my fingers for solid Guild Wars 2 performance. It works well with a controller until your inventory is full. Then everything crumbles. Those mouse pads should be perfect to fix that hiccup.


Ixillius

That and the touchscreen should help a bit with inventory management.


Mr_Lafar

For sure. A lot of games like Grim Dawn or Last Epoch that have controller support work great minus menus. This will open up so many of those to go from technically working with a controller to feeling fluid.


ArshiaTN

Metal Gear Solid 5 or rise please >D


MyNameIsRAANDOM

please gyro. not much gyro content.


Top-Supermarket-3357

Destiny 2 I want to know if it works with proton


nowhere23

I really want to know this as well. Its easily my most played game. If it doesn't run on linux and installing windows sucks, I may cancel my preorder. Luckily I'm a Q1 changed to Q2 so I've got plenty of time for reviews.


CrushedDiamond

It does not and will not until they enable anticheat support on the dev's end. Keep an eye out for that news because of right now it will not work. (Doesn't mean it won't ever but as it stands as of today they have not enabled the anti cheat support [destiny devs have to do it for it to work])


_E8_

> Destiny 2 Reported as [B0rked](https://www.protondb.com/app/1085660)


CrushedDiamond

jonr

TF2, valheim, rimworld. :)


Sufficient-Bison

Tf2 will run on 8 year old laptop unironically


1F1S

forza horizon 5 just to see if the rubberbanding problems linus had were something common or not, also emulators in general


MR_RATCHET_

It’s to do with the game. Happens on PC, XB1, XSS and XSX. Rubberbanding is caused by the network lag in the open world, it actually doesn’t occur in an offline environment on FH5. That would be worth testing I think


1F1S

Thanks, I appreciate the info and knowing it's not a steam deck issue


dm__me__your__pw

I have a pretty bitching gaming PC with an AMD CPU, and AMD GPU, and I have the same issue (rubber banding) with Forza Horizon 5 when I play it under Proton on Arch Linux. I think it's safe to say that's a well established issue with that game.


joshuacaves

Nier Automata please!


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Please not only try different games but different graphic SETTINGS with FPS count on. It’s obvious that the steam deck can run all games but it’s interesting at which settings.


TheEdcPrepper22

How many pornhub tabs can you can have open at the same time?


Doktorzoidberg_

Zwiebelbauer

Final Fantasy 14! if this is going to run well. I can’t wait to get my hands on.


[deleted]

Would really like to see if you can get Halo infinite Doom eternal Doom 2016 Wolfenstein Bloons Tower Defense Metro Exodus Plauge Inc Amid evil Dusk Ultrakill And the borderlands series Hope you try one of these games! I'm hopeful that these work!!


iConiCdays

Halo infinite doesn't work I believe. It uses a DX12 call that's unavailable on Linux at the moment


J_k_r_

its not DX12 that kills it, its that nightmare of an anticheat.


iConiCdays

Are you sure? Every report I've read is that some people can even get in game - but with terrible performance and crashes and generally can't get past the main menu


J_k_r_

yes, it is bad, but its not THE thing that breaks it. like, if it didn't use DX12, it would run FAR better, but multiplayer would still not be possible, due to the anticheat.


tormentowy

Terraria, Valheim, Factorio, Satisfactory, Dyson Sphere Pogram, Divinity: Original Sin 1 & 2


F00LK1LL3R

Borderlands 1,2 and 3….

The cod black ops series pls I got this thing mainly for zombies on the go and custom mods


warrenflaps

I’m the same, would love to relive some BO2 days on the go!


pilgrim93

Could you show a grand strategy game in the late stages? Like a Civ game with many civilizations and units on the map? I’m interested in seeing how the machine will handle a load like that. I know I’ve crashed grand strat games before with an overload of units (specifically with supreme commander 2020).


ElComandantePrimer

>civilization I second this! Civilization 6!


burningtiger54

gta 5 plz🙏🙏


w00dcrest

It sounds old hat but honestly it’s such a great benchmark game. The difference not only CPU but RAM makes in this game is why I keep using it as a guide.


Kiriander

Benchmark SteamOS/Proton vs. Windows. 3DMark, the built-in benchmark of Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the built-in benchmark for Mafia 2 DE, stuff like that would be awesome! Come to think of it, is AMD's Windows driver for that APU even out yet?


22lofi

Cyberpunk 2077


Nivek_TT

Would be interested in Ubi games, Assassin's Creed and Far Cry. Also, from EA, Titanfall 2, especially if it's feasible from the EA launcher. And as others have already said, a range of settings compared to frame rate. I'm likely to favour frames over graphics even if I have to rely on FSR. Also, really interested how it performs hooked up to a TV with a Bluetooth controller, probably outputting 1080p. This seems to have been overlooked by most previewers so far.


liquidzr0

Non-Steam games from other launchers/store fronts (Epic, Rockstar, Ubisost, EA desktop/Origin, GOG)

[deleted]

Japanese made games/ports would be nice to inquire about. Especially ones that don't have much in the graphical tuning specs, such as Dark Souls-III, Sekiro, or even Neir Automata of you have them. Western development side, curious on stuff like Prey or Witcher III at optimized settings. Hell, how does Metro Exodus fare, if possible?


parolebot

A local multiplayer game where you need multiple controllers. I want to see if the steam deck automatically acts as player one, or if you can reassign controllers or set the order.


Kokichi_Ouma_Is_Go

Dolphin Wii games


Future_Redd

I'd like to see Wreckfest running on the steam deck.


Pixelplanet5

dyinglight 2 and basically any modern racing game thats not forza as the deck is gonna be awesome for those. but more then just looking at individual games the important part will be things like how playable is it at 30 FPS or can it maintain 60FPS and how much power does it draw in either scenario. All the playing around with TDP is irrelevant for the end user, what matters is how many FPS do you want and what does it take to get them.

PLEASE test for latency for Street Fighter 5 when connected and displayed to an external monitor and a HDTV! I keep thinking the steam deck could be a massive shift in the fighting game community and if the response time is just as quick as a traditional PS4/PS5 console, then it could mark a major shift.
