I don't think it comes thru in this compressed, tone mapped JPG screenshot, but #HorizonZeroDawn with HDR enabled on a #SteamDeck OLED looks and runs way better than it has any right to on a handheld device. This has got to be one of if not the best looking game I've played on the Deck yet. With the "original" graphics preset (PS4 equivalent?) and HDR enabled on a 90hz OLED display it's holding 50+ fps, looking and feeling great. Really looking forward to this, 🙂
@gerowen Yeah - it’s absolutely gorgeous on console. I’ve replayed a bit on the Steamdeck and it looks great. It’s a little nicer on a larger screen (just to take in the scenery), and—to my surprise—I miss the controller rumble. It really made the play more immersive.
@gerowen In any case, the story is surprisingly great, and the game mechanics are just fun. I don’t know if the deck will pull off Horizon Forbidden West, though.
@marczak I'm gonna try to put my money back to build myself a more up to date gaming desktop for the living room and put ChimeraOS on it. We have a desktop in there at the moment, and although it is more powerful than the Steam Deck, the Deck nips at its heels in a lot of scenarios while drawing a fraction of the power to do it. If the Deck can't handle Forbidden West properly I'll probably just play it on the living room TV.
@gerowen The graphics definitely got a bump in the sequel. The deck is great! It might run it, but not sure it would truly do it justice. The dev team really did their job.
