nVidia enters the handheld fray: The Shield - Vipershark - 01-07-2013 Stolen from NeoGAF. Nilaul Wrote: RE: nVidia enters the handheld fray: The Shield - Phantom Killah - 01-07-2013 Seems pretty cool, I think. Something I don't really get though, aren't most android games developed with a touch screen interface? What good is a handheld with buttons for playing touch screen games? RE: nVidia enters the handheld fray: The Shield - Gwen - 01-07-2013 That is one ugly hand held, ugly enough to the point that I wouldn't want to be seen using that thing. RE: nVidia enters the handheld fray: The Shield - DioShiba - 01-07-2013 So it's basically a dreamcast controller that has a large TV screen to go with it. I'll pass. RE: nVidia enters the handheld fray: The Shield - Davy Jones - 01-08-2013 first impression: very bulky RE: nVidia enters the handheld fray: The Shield - Phaze - 01-08-2013 The device itself is very interesting, but man is it one ugly device. RE: nVidia enters the handheld fray: The Shield - Zero Kirby - 01-09-2013 I don't think it's that ugly but it does look pretty uncomfortable to hold and/or carry around in your pocket. RE: nVidia enters the handheld fray: The Shield - Gaia - 01-09-2013 It looks like it's gonna suffer from the same problems the GB's competetors had: Too bulky, drains power too fast, and doesn't look comforting for your pocket. This includes: The Game Gear, the Ngage (which like the Sheild, it was ugly to look at), the Lynx, the Neo Geo Pocket Color(?), and the list goes on. And there's a reason why the battery drained too fast on some of them: You were too hooked to pay attention to change the fucking things, and back then there was no battery indicator that you were running low, and uses a lot of electricity to power some of these things. RE: nVidia enters the handheld fray: The Shield - Goemar - 01-10-2013 The audience this is targeted at already have PCs... and laptops... RE: nVidia enters the handheld fray: The Shield - Dazz - 01-10-2013 When the fuck did Android Gaming become the next big thing? RE: nVidia enters the handheld fray: The Shield - Goemar - 01-11-2013 I don't think it is, indies and companies just seem to be jumping on it... madness RE: nVidia enters the handheld fray: The Shield - BullockDS - 01-12-2013 These Android projects are most likely hopping on the bandwagon of OUYA's successful Kickstarter, with a basic mindset of "hey, OUYA's Android-based and that got funded many times over, so if WE do some Android bullshit or whatever, folks'll eat that up too!". RE: nVidia enters the handheld fray: The Shield - Goemar - 01-18-2013 I think android is so popular because the fan-base can't admit iOS is better and thus make a lot of noise. RE: nVidia enters the handheld fray: The Shield - Previous - 01-19-2013 That's like saying Mac OS is better than Windows (swap them or replace either or both with Linux if you want) - it's pure preference. They all do there job in one way or another. RE: nVidia enters the handheld fray: The Shield - puggsoy - 01-19-2013 I thought nVidia just made graphics card and published (or supported or whatever) certain games. They should stick to that. In general it doesn't look too uncomfortable, but yeah it's pretty bulky. |
