Come on bro, where’s the breakdown. It’s been 2 minutes already.
I’m just kidding. No body cares.

DF do'in mobile.
I've got these games on my iPhone 15 pro max, They play just fine, but I've never played them on console so can't compare.
I was an anti Resident Evil poster and hated seeing the threads everyday. But now I've played the games and understand the love.
Yay mobile.

I have a 15 pro max so I may try RE.

It’s completely bonkers to me that this is able to run at all on a tiny, passively cooled device. I would never want to play the game like this, but this is still damned impressive.

It was a lot, I'll be paying for it for the next 3 years. Unless I get another broken screen anyway.
I can do a basic summary
-Looks great on screen on iPhone screen, best looking phone game Oliver has seen, maximum resolution is 900p
-Thermal throttle is not an issue, settles clocks after a minute or 2 with not performance penalty observed
-TAA seems broken so recommends Metal FX Quality, also improves performance, unlike most other settings
-Higher memory settings like Texture Quality will crash the game after a while
-Metal FX Quality renders at 0.4 on each axis on iPhone, unlike the Mac version which is 0.5 times
-Metal FX Quality is ML based like DLSS 2 and looks good, except for transparent surfaces, while Metal FX Performance is a spacial upscaler like FSR 1.0 but looks worse than FSR 1
-Uncapped the game has major frame time issues, capped to 30 fps seems to improve this a lot but event then the game doesn't have stable performance in a lot of areas
-M1 iPad Pro has better performance but not transformative
-Steam Deck runs around twice as fast while rendering at 1080p, but consumes more power
-Unpleasent to play on touch but supports controllers
Basically it's a neat tech demo, but it's not a great way to play.

This sounds like a "This toaster runs Doom" situation.
Yes it can run the game, but you wouldn`t want to experience the game like this let alone buy the device for this. And this toaster costs more than a grand, too.
It´s a nice PR material and not much more.

Half as fast as the Steam Deck, which is already pretty underpowered nowadays.
Stil a longggg way to go.

Did they mention how long you can play on a full charge?
I'm hoping at least 2 hours.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

Too much settings jargon for me lol.
The TL-DR is that it's ok for a phone, increasing settings to the max makes the app crash and Steam Deck runs better than Iphone Pro Max Championship Edition.
