If it works like they state I'm excited I was still hoping a 3DS would be launched with longer battery life but I'll wait for this instead.

I wouldn't necessarily call anything you are going to do on an android tablet "gaming." Not by modern standards anyways. Run a search for overwolf on google and watch a video. THAT is tablet gaming. This offering is just crap. I don't need a controller to fling birds. Windows 8 me already. My body is ready.

 

[JOSHSKORN]

But can it...will it...be able to run Crysis?

 

[dreadlokz]

All we needed, another rubbish portable console! I should buy an iCrap!
Nice specs btw!

 

[zippyzion]

I seem to remember another gaming tablet being shown by Razor I think. That demo was running Skyrim. I'll wait for that k?

 

[christarp]

This already exists, it's called every tablet on the market already.

 

[__-_-_-__]

there's already many x86 tablets in the market that already do it. yeah they run crysis and some run it very smoothly.

Corporate philosophy for the past 5 months: "Get this thing to market BEFORE Nintendo launches the Wii U."

Clearly you are clueless, they are talking about Gaikai, which is like OnLive. The hardware only needs to be able to stream video and run high bandwidth. In fact you can run games that need hardware 10x what an xbox 360 can do on a smartphone. These services only stream the output and take your input. The actual processing is done on high end PC's.

 

[billybobser]

Yeah, like, good luck with that man.

I'll make sure I bring my portable FiOS with me wherever I go. On American mobile carriers this should cost you about $20 per minute after the first 10 minutes of play. Most people can't even stream 1080p in their house. Mobile broadband is a myth. I remain unconvinced. I'll take hardware over another subscription service any day, this just sounds like yet another ploy by another publisher to take my money. Do you remember playing Quake 2 online with 350-500 ping? You better start learning how to lead your targets to account for your massive latency. Real gamers don't even use wireless keyboards and mice. And real gamers DON'T play on consoles.

Sad

 

[cknobman]

LOL how is this going to be better than playing games on a Transformer Prime with an xbox 360 controller?

Also if it uses Tegra 3 I would consider it an instant fail since that gpu is woefully under-powered.

I agreed with everything you stated until the last sentence. I didn't see a reference to your title of "God of Real Gaming".

but can it run Crysis?

I have to agree. What good is "superior" gaming hardware (my iPad 2 plays games just fine, as does my Vita and my 3DS) if you have a crappier-than-your-competition software/games selection? That's the issue all Android devices face.

Sounds like their just trying to make a strange ripoff the of JXD S7100. ICS is great, but an "attachable" controller? NO thanks, either make it part of the tablet, or forget it. Why is this so hard for companies to understand? Build the controls as PART of the tablet, and I'd buy one in a second.

 

[eddieroolz]

Kind of a pointless exercise, isn't it? Tablets weren't made to be a gaming machine in our traditional sense.
