Portable Hardware & Gaming Forum

[shroomz]

A few seemingly decent options, main thing is probably whether the mods agree whether it needs a subforum or not, and in which form.

I for one would welcome more real estate than than just a single steam deck thread, I started reading it from p1 in case I could glean any nuances but gave up when I saw how superseded a lot of the older content was.

Afterall ... VR Headsets are just portable computers.

you can play half life alyx etc with just a VR headset and nothing else ?

I'd say they are handheld consoles.

I consider a console to be purely a gaming device.

The Steam Deck might be able to go in the pc section as well. But primarily a console.

Portable Monitors then - should they go into the Displays section?

pedantic much? It's not me you need to convince anyway its the mods, surely one of them does VR and will be on your side.

Personally I think the forum already has too many sections and scrolling up and down is needlessly long.

What happens when Xbox releases their handheld finally?

No idea, that's a decision for if/when it's actually released. I wouldn't expect the forums to be structured based on rumours alone though.

Xbox is already basically a PC

Not really, it doesn't play any PC games for a start.

I think a dedicated Handheld Gaming forum should cover Switch, Steam Deck, etc, etc

The Switch has far more in common with other games consoles in terms of ecosystem, games etc than it does the PC-based handhelds, though. I can't see what having Switch discussion grouped in with Steamdeck, ROG Ally discussion achieves?

We have a dedicated Virtual Reality forum - because that is distinct enough from both Consoles and PC Games forums.

Except for PSVR2 which is a console accessory and should be in the console forum, but instead discussion is split across both.

Except that Sony are working on PC drivers for PSVR2 ... so it'll work with PCs too soon hopefully

I agree and over the last couple of years, we have reduced the number by merging some of the lesser used ones.

We did add The Travel Agency last year and I think that’s been a success. I forget the last one we added prior to that.
