Re: Review: Retroid Pocket 2+ - A Vast Improvement Over Its Forerunner

@Phostachio Gaming laptops is too big and clunky to drag around and is why Steam Deck and similar were made.
Consoles like Retroid is too weak for my usage anyway, and way too weak vs my phone.

My phone can emulate GameCube at 1440p/60, so i don't see the point with Retroid.
On top of it Xbox One Gamepads natively supports Android in firmware. I paid 3 bucks for a solid bracket to use it on phone.

Anyways. I own around 3000 Games on Steam and can just resume games on Steam Deck.
Switch is a clunky handheld, and is why i have no problem with Steam Deck.

@carlos82 When it came to speed, NTSC games ran around 20% faster than PAL which were noticable on 3D games running at only 15 FPS For example.
At some point "PAL 60" also came to get same speed as NTSC in 3D games.

PAL 60 came in early 1990's, but only CD32 (1993) console supported it early on. Dreamcast were the next console after CD32 to support PAL 60. Then others followed.

Anyways. It's great that whole planet at some point went on to use same standard on everything in video.

@carlos82 Well. PAL Games were impossible to play on NTSC, because the screen went outside TV.

NTSC Games on PAL TV had to be stretched out, or you got a black border on top and bottom.
Unlike PAL, you could also see the scanlines clearly on NTSC and is why it looked more blurry than PAL.
NTSC.. "Never Twice the Same Color".

So they are skipping Xenon from CDTV which had full CD soundtrack with some legendary tunes in 1991?
The best Speedball 2 AGA version on CD32 version is missing too.
Not a big deal for me as i own real CD32 and CDTV and can still play the best versions.

They should have used Amiga versions only as they were the best. It's sad to see the downgraded MegaDrive versions used in the video.

No purchase for me as they ignore Amiga 100%. The platform they were most popular on too.

@YANDMAN Same here. I loved the overwhelming online system in it too. I Framerate were never a issue. Devil's Third were flamed mostly because it were a Wii U exclusive. This is why all reviewers ignored it's online part in the game, which were the main part.
I made a DT fan page with loads of screenshots from online etc. before it got shutted down. Link.
