I really liked this episode of news (Sorry Andy!) Mainly because the normal episodes feel a bit more like the Podcast, so this feels a bit more 'newsey'. I like having the seperation between formats heh, I'm just like that. Thanks for the news updates.
Another great episode, Aj, thanks! Love the multichannel approach of 128KB and this channel is great for my news catch-ups! Might be a big ask, but will you be doing any streaming sessions of games like Outlaws/other in the future, maybe?
@tyo101 I REALLY want to, I wasn't sure if doing it here would be good or not, but I loved doing it and outlaws and SM2 coming feels like the perfect timing.
Great show AJ. Both my PS5 and Xbox Series X now sold for very good prices!! Why do I feel amazing about this? 😂No longer going to support either brand anymore. Feels great!!
Man I honestly want to sell my Xbox series X, I have a steam deck oled, and will get a Rog ally x in a month. Did you have digital games when you sold both consoles? Because that’s where I am with my Xbox series X.
@williedee1003 Yup man, hundreds of wasted pounds on PlayStation games all digital. Only Xbox Game Pass so no digital on that. Cancelled all subscriptions on each. Already got a few PlayStation games on Steam and rest on wishlist. Most Xbox games again already now got on Steam cheap or free (Halo Infinite) just waiting for Gears 5 to be on sale. Honestly I thought I'd miss both PS5 and Series X but hilariously I actually don't. Which speaks major volume on this last console gen flops. You do you man. Change is good. Change is progress.
@@mr_omega_007 what about gta 6??? You don’t think you’ll break down a buy another console next year? I know you won’t be able to wait a whole year before it hits PC lol, that’s why I don’t think I can part ways with my series X just yet.
I'm not here because I wasnt invited 😭😘 really it was exactly as you've said, I've just been playing games 🤣 (Outlaws, hate me) Love the AJ special, maybe too much!
Thanks for the news AJ! I did pick up an Ally X last week and I absolutely love it. I just bought the first Space Marine on Steam to get ready for the sequel. I played it way back in the day and it works great. I’ve also played a lot of Resident Evil 4 Remake and Dying Light 2. Everything has played and ran beautifully. I seriously love this machine lol.
Ally X is just too expensive in my country. Instead of 800, it's more 900 - 1000 range. Should I get a Steam Deck OLED instead? Would that suffice me for now. I have a PS5 and Switch and I want to add a PC gaming handheld. I worry about the SD OLED's pixel density though.
@@iamghostwitagun3800 I'm.actually contemplating on selling my Switch and replace it with one of these pc handhelds. Older games in my backlog don't look good on the PS5 cause of the lack of a "PS5" patch. I reckon some of these games will look better on a pc handheld given the freedom to be able to adjust some settings. Hell even MGS5 would probably look better on a pc hanheld, no? But yeah. Ally X is too expensive. I'm looking at the OLED but my only problem with it is the pixel density.
The SD Oled looks amazing, just a gorgeous looking screen. The only issue for me is that it's a little underpowered for the most demanding games when compared to the Ally X. BUT everyone that gets one is not dissapointed.
@@128KB-News Thank you for the response! I might get the OLED in the coming weeks then and hopefully it will be enough until I get either the Ally X or whatever new thing comes out next year. Though seriously, I need to stop watching videos about the Ally X lol. It hurts that I cannot justify buying one since it's too damn expensive. :(
If platform exclusives helped subsidize the cost of consoles, I wonder if not having exclusives will drive up the cost of consoles or even eventually just phase them out. What’s the point of Sony making a PS5 and if they do how can they afford to sell it at a loss if all the games can be played anywhere. Don’t get me wrong, I love that everything is on PC now, just thinking about the economics.
The thing is not everyone can afford a gaming PC let alone keep it updated every year after building it. The point of a gaming console is that it is cheap and only do one thing and do it good aka playing gams. PC is not designed solely for gaming thats why GPU and CPU on a powerful PC is much more expensive than a PS5 but can barely play the same game at a stable FPS with slightly better grahics. PC also not plug and play and I dont think many people will spend $3k+ PC and only use it for gaming.
The performance upgrade is only for users who are not Admin on windows. So no, your ROGS will not increase performance because you are likely the admin of the windows installs.
@@emanuela.dedektive6155 I read that it was 'super admin', not just 'admin' which removed a tonne of security features and is definitely not recommended by anyone, included by AMD to be used. So I'm certain you wouldn't be using Super Admin on the Ally.
@@emanuela.dedektive6155 Hummm, I would be interested to see the overall break down once the update hits the main windows branch (not insider previews). Hardware Unboxed did a buttonne of testing and saw a large uplift ua-cam.com/video/rlfTHCzBnnQ/v-deo.html
Well, there’s the fact that, when it comes to performance, it’s objectively going to be massively more powerful than even the ROG Ally X. That is if you do care about this sort of stuff, of course. Everything else, besides 2 exclusives (Stellar Blade, which is soon to be released on PC in a few months’ time, and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2), some DualSense haptics and etc, unless the PS5 Pro’s jailbreak becomes as feature-rich, versatile in a sense like being capable of emulating all sorts of games from the most retro to the ones from the PS3/X360 era and installing Linux distros like Bazzite OS itself, hell, let alone Windows, so that you could also play PC games on it just like on a jailbroken PS4, the ROG Ally X is taking the cake on all these same mentioned other aspects that I’ve talked about across the board.

@@128KB-News yes!!
I just downloaded it but i didnt test my Ally X before it so id need a base FPS for games so ill check other YTbers and say the difference.
When will it be available ??
it should be now as an optional update as they back ported to the latest build.

YESSS Bring Astro Bot lil cool dude to PC. I already ordered his special edition ctrl and I don't got no PS5!! 😂
yeah it'd be amazing on PC for sure. I missed out on the controller, still tempted tho!
Only rog ally are concerned ? Cause amd ryzen cpus are also part of other handhelds, especially legion go
yeah it's all AMD Ryzen cpu's on Win 11 so Legion Go etc too. Just hard to fit them all into one title :)
@@128KB-News which update does this ? And what does it do exactly ?
