This is I believe the next generation in gaming devices. Pocket portable, multi controller connectable, with high definition or 4k output ability to TVs.

0:34 Hey guys welcome back to episode 69 of Who Can Jump The Furthest on Car Jump Arena, we've got a large **sharts** um large amount of cars **sharts again**
It's not that Beamng wouldn't be able to run on a console, it's that it would require the devs to get an sdk for it, and then rebuild the game from the ground up as the cpu architecture on the consoles are different. The steam deck is emulating a PC, few changes, if any, had to be modified for it to run on the steam deck. Adding beamng to consoles, would mean they'd have to allocate a part of the dev team to the consoles, everything would have to be done twice, or 3 times depending on the console, and it would take away from the overall development teams resources. We all praise the updates the devs put out on PC. There's a chance that it would take away from that if they started development for console. It's not impossible. It's just not a route a lot of dev teams want to take, and I respect that
Another thing adding to the problem for beamng is that it's almost entirely bespoke code. There's no UE or Unity codebase where they'd be able to outsource the port to someone.
The Steam Deck is not emulating a PC. There's native Linux builds for some games, and for most of the rest it uses Proton, which _also_ doesn't emulate anything. In very basic terms, Proton takes calls the game makes to the system, and translates them to something Linux can actually understand. This process is actually extremely inexpensive in CPU cycles, so speed is around the same as running directly on Windows. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Sometimes it straight up doesn't work, but that's another story.
Another thing to consider is that (in my experience) because all the steam deck's parts are exclusive to the deck, most games automatically set to highest settings because it doesn't recognize what kind of power it is working with, and this can affect the performance of games on the deck
I don’t think so, because it’s setup by an executable file, which isn’t supported by Linux, and most likely wouldn’t work at all. They might have one for Linux though, but I haven’t checked in a while.
it is quite impressive. finally a legit hand held console. No offense to play station portals or nitendos, but you guys know what I mean. Like, beamNG on a handheld, yes. If nobody report significant problems with their steam decks im gonna go get myself one in a month or two...
Btw the newest update has since made it more playable (NOTE,SOME MAP ARE STILL UNPLAYABLE AS THEY WILL IMMEDIATELY CRASH DUE TO THE STEAM DECK NOT CAPABLE!) (Also do not expect any difference at first due to it being laggy when still loading the stuff but after a while,it will be good!)
11:57 Nope, not right now. For most people around the world, the Steam Deck doesn't exist, it's not possible to buy it even if you're willing to wait in a queue.
I remember when my pc could barely handle Beamng Drive on a PC with min graphics and now your able to have it on a handheld just wow its amazing And yes I've had some serious upgrades to my PC it now can handle max graphics just fine.
Ya know I keep forgetting to say this, but the little changes to the intro look so good, Neil! I think I recognize the car the intro car is modeled after :D And I definitely need to get one of those Steam Decks lol. The PC I use for it can run BeamNG at maybe like 10 FPS? On Gridmap? I dunno lol
Cool video. Very impressed with the Steam Deck, its powerful for its size, would like to see you do a video once you've had it for a little while and leant the best configuration, would be very interesting. Always enjoy your videos :)
How is the deck running these games? Is it using proton? I'm pretty sure this console is running SteamOS and if this is the case I think the deck will help the linux gaming community a lot with getting official game ports to linux
Yes is running Proton. Great experience so far. Hope more games that use anti cheat support it soon. Seeing Apex legends and Elden Ring is a big win however
@The Real Cat of 2020 how is it not a console? SteamOS is made to look like a console os and you also cannot change the components. What is the difference between a console and the deck? (Other than the fact that the deck runs pc games, hence its superiority lol) :))
If you can get your hands on the OLED model that was released years after this video was made, could you do a side by side comparison between the LCD and OLED models?
Beam on console with a skyrim style mod library would be freaking amazing you can't tell my my series s couldn't handle the game because I just wouldn't believe it
wow its crazy that it doesnt stutter when crashing the car. i remember back in the day when i played beamng on my laptop, everytime i crashed my car fps shot down to like 5 fps
i am pretty sure new gen consoles are pretty comparable to like the new 3000 nvidia gpus and CPUs are really top end. maybe not on xbox one or ps4 but definitely on ps5 and xbox series x/s
They probably can't bring it to the ps5 because of the cpu and gpu architecture. I could be wrong but considering that steam deck has a semi normal ryzen cpu and ps5 doesn't... They (the devs) would probably need to rewrite some code wiwch is kind of a pain and a lot of work. Great vid and have a great day
omg, this game 4-5 years ago was running on my full fat pc with pentium 4 on gridmap v1 in 20-30 fps, and i was happy with it. But now u can play beamng drive on the toilet (lol i saw it now, after wirting the comment that u said the same thing) in 60 frames, holy cow And I think the reason for it to not get to the consoles is that the code was made in windows lang thing i guess, so the devs are lazy to transform it i think
Well the Steam Deck is basically a PC running Linux, I can also play BeamNG.drive on my PC with Linux almost without any Problems. A Console is fundamentally different, they need a specific development kit, they have a more specific OS, ... BeamNG doesn't run natively on Linux, it's the Windows version running with Wine/Proton, so the BeamNG devs don't have to put in a significant amount of work into it if it already works on other PCs with Linux and Wine/Proton.
I think the reason the devs havent made a console version is the mods. It would force them to either make devs make their mods compatible which would make a ton of mods incompatible or they would have to curate mods and port them. Without the mods beamng is a kinda small game. But at the same time they also said multiplayer was impossible but some modders figured it out and made it run relatively well.
Bro I love how he says "it's not that expensive" yet it's a thousand dollars for the 512 gb my Xbox has double the storage can play basically the same games and is half the price, but then again I see where he's coming from cuz it's beamng which is a phenomenal game especially running that well at 30 fps
I've always dreamed of playing Beamng. Now I dream of playing it while taking a dukie. I think I might just cough up the money for a PC though. I just don't know when cause they mad pricey.
My one question would be what would happen if example you had a fatal gpu not responding error happen on the steam deck would you be able to close it or would you have to entire shut down the system
BeamNG is infinitely more optimized than Wreckfest. BugBear doesn't know what a 3D render pipeline is and they just expect everyone's PC to bruteforce insanely complex shaders that would have barely looked acceptable in 2008. I've learned that BeamNG also optimizes itself for your system based on your specs, especially memory.
