persona 4 golden won't work with Steam deck (at least for now)

Well Persona 4 on itself not, but if none works perfectly, then yeah it's to worry about it, although they can always update things (i dunno how that is handled).

I find this encouraging. Of the 67 games tested so far only 5 of them are unplayable, 4 of those being VR games. Ideally Persona 4 will be updated to support it, but if it does not it is no big deal, to me, anyway.

Not worried, Valve doesn't sell their stuff here anyway.

Wat. I would think that Persona would be one of the most Steam Deck-friendly games. I've completed Persona 4, so I'm not too bothered, but I could imagine that there's plenty of people waiting to play the game on Steam Deck.

People forget that Steam Deck is a Linux machine, that not everything will work 100% out of the box, many things will require some tweaking. Persona 4 runs fine under Proton, it takes a lot of time to boot at first but after that every subsequent time is good. The problem was (is) with using some ancient codecs for playing videos.

Not worried.
Sadly it's not sold on my country, but if it were and if I could afford it, I'd buy for sure.

P4G has the status "Gold" on protondb, so it should be playable with some adaptions. Pretty sure they'll find a solution, sooner or later.
And if one out of 63 games shouldn't work, that's still mighty impressive.

I don't really know anything about this game, but lot of people are pitting it like if this doesn't work then Deck doesn't makes sense... I have my reservation made and all the games i have looks valid on deck and more beeing added day by day, also it was stated that the validations are merely a test at the moment.

If you want to confirm if it's going to work well, better check it on Proton website, as the only thing that will make it work or not it's just Proton (as far as the software part goes, if the hame asks for lot of hardware power or VR, obviously it won't work well or don't work at all)...

I would be shocked if cdpr didn't update the Witcher 3 to optimize the UI for readability on that screen

Maybe the denuvo malware is the cause. Linux does not like that thing too much. You should ask Sega to remove the DRM which is pointless already.

As far as I know it's a problem about some proprietary codecs which Valve cannot distribute. Otherwise the game works pretty much great. It could already be fixed with third party options but Valve work about an official solution.
