How bad can they perform? Tons of these same indies are on every platform including lowly spec mobile phones. Here they just need to port to one standard platform and can tune the performance, remove features, downgrade graphics, textures, lower resolution, etc as necessary to just get it to run properly on one standard platform (the beauty of consoles). Most indies are not hardware demanding anyway, many of them are pixel graphics and load small levels after small levels, don't really need super fast processors nor tons of RAM.

I know, there are bad PS4 ports of indies that perform terribly. Often games on Unity engine runs badly, even on powerful console like PS4, the engine is just not optimised. Those lousy ports are few and far between on PS4. The more likely scenario is buggy ports, with insufficient testing in the rush to milking another market, ending up having consumers beta testing the paid product.

I don't think there's much to worry about Nindies except that 90% of the Switch library are Nindies.

Yooka-Laylee for Switch might be too demanding for 1080p 60fps. High chance that it will be 1080p but 30fps.

Yooka-Laylee looks good, it's been on my radar for a long time, will get it on PS4. But I'm not pre-ordering just yet, been burned before with The Last Tinker. The Last Tinker was the previous game that was supposed to 'revive the 3D platformers' or whatever... in the end knn the platforming was automatic like Assassin's Creed, you hold down a bunch of buttons and push the stick you will automatically jump and climb, wtf (watching trailers and game play footage won't help, you can't tell this by watching). And it has lousy mandatory stealth segments. I know and I believe Yooka-Laylee won't be bad like that (it's real platforming, with some mini games too) but still reluctant to take the plunge early.

Guys, those who bought from Q10, Funzcentre they put the collect only after 6pm

I cancelled twice and final order from Qoo10. 1st cancel from Qisahn and 2nd cancel from Lazada. Final order has the best price of the 3 orders.

Check your pickup store before you go down though, give them a call for something.

I think they only received the console in the morning, need some time to deliver to respective store

 

[tjhin]

Mine order from gamextreme and selected head office to collect. Hope can get early.

so far, this is the only power bank i see that outputs 15V/2A...
https://www.amazon.com/Portable-RAV...ow-20&linkId=4f832b43a1a3465719c5963805150505

unfortunately, Xiaomi only can output 12V/1.5A.

without a proper power bank, you won't be able to play it as portable much....

Think will just charge longer ? A few pages back the vid shows that even with a weaker power bank, can extend playing time to abt 5 hrs when pkaying zelda
