But this isn't about running current Android stuff, right? People would have to make new games specifically for this console (or so I thought) Edit: I'm also kinda wondering about how powerful it is. Playing Android games that are made for a phone/tablet on a big 1080p screen doesn't sound like fun. But the specs say it's…
No more than I'd equate PC and console games. Yes, graphics hardware matters, but not nearly on the level that it does on the 360 or the PS3. The Wii is the most anemic of the consoles, yet it managed to draw a significant crowd through innovative play. Not only that, but how long has it been since the big consoles…
Yes, a Tegra 4 would probably be better (newer tech usually tends to be better than the old tech), I just don't think it's as much of a hindrance as you think. The difference could be very little, but I haven't seen the benchmarks and compared. It might be better to get the ball rolling rather than waiting for the perfect…
Oxy what are you talking about game devs retire all the time! Games not doing well, your retired! Games coming out soon, your retired! ;) Dustin, big studios need big sales to stay big and are either owned by a publisher or work for a publisher that expects games to sell more every year no matter what. Its the same as…
I did read the article and the author made a number of poorly thought out arguments, which many commenters tore apart. This console was just announced a few days ago and people have already jumped on the "this is doomed to fail" bandwagon. People said the iPod would fail too. The core feature of this console is that it…
Oh come on! Comparing this to a phone in the same price range and hardware specs? Who fucking cares? I got a iPhone 4S, I got some games that can be mirrored to the TV and played with my phone as a controller. And it sucks! Why, cause it's a big hustle to make it work. Well "big", still I don't want my phone plugged in the…
Where have you been the last 10 years? Most indie-games out there are developed by "2 hippies in a garage", in fact the size of the studio does not decide the ability to make games, in fact they'll often fare better. 40 developers is a massive size compared to that of a small indie-developer. You're an artist, you should…
Except we're talking about a gaming hardware here. The i7 setup he compared it to is a ~$1,000 setup. Completely different OS, completely different price-range, completely different customer. This device is at the price range of a phone, has the same operating system, and targets the same audience. Sometimes quite…
