I think it's safe to conclude that the vast majority of (if not all) new games won't run on current-gen handheld consoles. I'm not bitter, though. It's quite a feat that we got them this far.

Another game that confirms that most of modern games are unplayable in these consoles.

For what should be a blooming baseline performance target for—at the very least, 720p Low presets—this is yet another disappointing no-go for people who own these systems. More for the indie crowd, I guess... makes one wonder why more studios aren't rolling back onto UE4 to get these games on more systems if nothing else.

Honestly this wasn't that surprising considering the extreme demands combined with relatively very poor AMD performance.
TL;DR is no lol.

These remasters do seem to be abysmally 'optimised', bringing the best CPU and GPU on the market to their knees.

7800X3D and 4090 unable to hit 1080p120?

FFS, stop supporting this junk with your money!

A real survival horror for current-gen handheld consoles.

If an interactive PowerPoint slideshow is your cup of tea, then who am I to judge?

"Silent Hill 2 Remake is a very demanding game that's barely playable on modern PC handhelds."

I had to re-read this a few times because my mind agreed with it right after PC and blocked out the handheld part and I was like yup that's how it is seems like a fair statement.

I should try that game.

Just as i expected from an AMD graphic chip and driver combo.

C'mon, the Steam Deck is APU a tiny 15 W chip made for a handheld released nearly 3 years ago. I'm impressed that it actually runs the newest games at all.
