It's kind of insane how much polish is on these reviews. Awesome work my guy

Shattered Memories now works almost flawlessly! Using default pcsx2 settings to apply patches, and full screen ect. (So I'm not certain what fixed the issues present in your video) Using power tools to turn off SMT, not sure if leaving it on actually might improve performance as I initially tested this in the worst case scenario settings after watching this video, and wanted to come here to update you! Pcsx2 is its most latest version, and the emulator is running this at 3x resolution. SteamDeck settings is, cyroutilities recommended, UMA 4gb, underclock -40mV across all. 1200mz manual clock lock. 60fps lock. 15watts. I get practically a flawless 60fps and am an hour+ in so far and no artifacts, other than shadows being extra pixelated. But that's probably just the emulator/PS2 base graphics. There are FPS drops and stuttering, but only when going through doorways briefly, and at the start of the game when the street gets overrun by the icy sheet the frames dropped during that period down to 40ish, and went back up as soon as the in game scene finished. When running away from enemies the input lag isn't noticeable at all, imo. And the FPS drops when going through doorways doesn't actually affect the gameplay experience overall. So far I'd give it a good 8.5/10, possible a 9 if there's no other major drops I experience. Even the cop car sequence is flawless. No frame drops while driving through that moment. No crashes, yet either. Super happy, was concerned after watching your videos as I had spent all day installing heaps of rooms and using your videos as reference. Didn't realise Shattered Dreams was a remake essentially of the first game and never played through them. So I was upset when you said this didn't work. As I wanted to start off on this one and work my way through 2+3 afterwards and then play the original PS1 version.

This was an excellent video and it went into deep detail about shit most people wouldn't care about. Generally, other Steam Deck videos just show a FPS number and thats that- so a video that tries to contextualize the content it's showing- transforms it from a "Steam Deck" video into a video that also gives some analysis about the current state of Silent Hill. I think that alone will age this video like fine wine. Great job

As a silent hill fan, you have earned a new subscription just from this video alone. Awesome work and insight

Great job on these videos man, I loved your "Was GTA: IV The Last Ever "Next-Gen" Game?" vid and now you're reviewing some of my favorite franchises ever like silent hill, siren, manhunt and max payne on the deck, your humor really shines through as well just splendid content all around, subbed and will stick around for more.

The "Fan The Deck" channel mentioned your channel, so I had to check you out. I love your videos-new subscriber here!

I’d personally be interested in seeing every single MechWarrior game (at least MechWarrior 2 up until MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries) on the Steam Deck. Great video, by the way! 👍

Man! you make the best content! literally thought you had 100k subs just by the quality and how fun your videos are! I wish you the best and you'll have my support :) Thanks for the awesome info and some laughs here and there, haha quite unexpected.

@@themascorati don’t know much about Forspoken. Just short reviews i’ve seen. It looks like an action open world rpg. The only indication of it being slightly silent hill is the alternate dimension the game takes place in. Is there more to it not covered by reviews? Is it actually a psychological horror game? How is it a spiritual successor to silent hill? Or were you being facetious? I’m genuinely curious because if it is a spiritual successor to silent hill, i’d love to check it out.

This video is amazing, you not only review the game itself, and its performance, but provide so much more insight that really shows an understanding of what you're reviewing.

why did i even watch all of this? i don't even have a steam deck, oh well, your commentary was good so it's probably that.

It might be too much to chew, but I'd love to see a video on the Tales series of JRPGs! I'm having a lot of fun playing them across so many different consoles

Not all heros wear capes. Thank you for this video

Thank you for doing gods work

Echoing what others have said. Fantastic content with lots of thought and effort put in. Consider me inspired. Hope your channel blows up.

Hi, I came here because I recently bought A Steam deck oled, and my goal was to put every major Silent Hill title on it, impressively I made it work for now! Maybe you need to do a quick recap one year later of how this franchise runs quite smooth on the console (:

Great video! Really thorough research and helps massively to see which games play well, saving a lot of trial and error. Much appreciated 🙏🙏

I have a gaming Laptop so I dont need the deck, but this was still useful thanks, keep them coming

"Other than that, he seems like a good dude." That had be rolling, hahaha!

I don't know how much emulation could evolve in this past half year. But I just played Shattered Memories PS2's version on my SD from the beginning to the end and it was completely playable. I would grade it an 8/10 since the shadows were quite weird.

Yes, this video was very much enjoyed!

Just discovered this channel and I love this series. Would love to see one for Panzer Dragoon!

it would also be interesting to see how the killzone series would run on the deck. the first killzone may actually run well

I know this an old video, however, I got PT emulation 1.4 working flawlessly on the Deck, if you want any help. Give us a shout! :)

HE'S BAAAAACK

For anyone wanting to play Shattered Memories, I recommend playing it docked with a wiimote using Bluetooth. Youll need something to act as the ir lights from the sensor bar though.

Did I miss the link to the video for SH2 enhanced?

Oh oh. No siree. Should have covered the fan made PT remakes on deck!

Have you considered maybe doing grab bags of specific genres and seeing how they operate within Emudeck? Lord knows there is a whole swack of PS2 era racers and sports games that would be interesting to look at, but don't fit within the series criteria.

Can't wait for Silent Hill 2 remake and the Silent Hill 2 movie! Silent Hill is back!

Did you play through all of SH1? I'm curious if it freezes up at any point because adding the enchantments for emulators usually causes the game to lock up in the Church and a few other areas. If I remember correctly the event in the amusement park area also causes issues along with the drawbridge control room.

might be worth it to mention that PCSX2 version of shattered memories works fine for me on the Deck. Just checked it out. Emulator must've been updated.

always thought 3 should've gotten the remake treatment. marketing wise it would've sold more than 2. simply because silent hill 3 features a teenage girl who at the beginning of the game has to find her way out of a monster infested shopping mall of hell. given thats how a lot of horror movies are nowadays, with teenage girls trying to escape death from some monster, lots of people who never played silent hill would've rushed to purchase it.

lovely video tysm

I personally hope they add the classic silent Hill games to the ps store like they did with twisted metal

Interestingly enough it’s titled Volume 1 so it’s possible MGS 4 might get ported or they add the PSP games and possibly Phantom Pain and Ground Zeroes. As for Psycho Mantis in past PC versions if you are using a controller you can switch to using keyboard controls instead. With the Steam Deck in particular, maybe you can change your control scheme during the fight and beat him that way. I am just guessing but I imagine there will be some way to work around Psycho Mantis.

First time finding your channel, you're a beast. Great content. Now lets talk sbout doing a video on the Twisted Metal series :)

Man I had all the driver wheelman series in the deck it was 🔥 but I had to do a factory reset

i think a Shin Megami Tensei series (including Persona series) would do well for this series of videos you're making. i already kinda know how they perform but hearing your perspective on it would be even better.

As just a general question, is there any particular reason that you have stuck with standalone emulators for PSX and PSP games? Do they perform noticeably better/worse than Retroarch cores like Beetle-PSX or... well, PPSSPP's core lol?

@ProjectEdan

10 ай бұрын

Generally speaking, Duckstation outperforms BeetlePSX in general owing to it continously being updated. As for the differences between cores/standalone, standalone apps are updated more frequently, and cores tend to lag behind a touch. To minimise compatibility concerns, testing via standalone apps is always preferrable over using a core.

@fanb1536

I'm playing PS2 port of Shattered Memories just fine with no crashes for Steam Deck. I'm not sure why yours is crashing.

you mention the arcade is sort of the start of the bad ideas. SH3 was originally going to be an on rails shooter. we defo got the better timeline.

You should look into the hardest PS2 games to emulate, the first 3 Fatal Frame games.

Twisted metal please 😝😝

Do need for speed series and gta , or tony hawk Twisted metal and gran turismo

yo.. the ps2 emu and input lag stuff, are you quite sure? using latest nightly? i did side by sides with real hardware and deck on 2 crts and the difference was only about a frame in every game i tried worth noting a lot of ps2 games had input lag in general..

All pro football 2k8 for ps3 please make a video

I recently joined the deck club and been binging your videos. They’re not only informative but entertaining as well. Really appreciate it! One series I’m curious on how playable on the stream deck is WarioWare with those weird controls. 😅

Silent Hill 1 without dithering is a sin, you should be ashamed and play it again using DuckStation 4k downsampled to original res and with dithering and those hacks for fixing wobble if you feel like it. Looks beautiful in this way looks disgusting. Keep this in mind when playing older games, most of the time the designer used the dithering to their advantage
