no prob about 2) I agree and said it also before I don't expect SG to do what WiiU pad does.... especially the things like augmented screen view like sniping.... even though I think it could be possible but you'd have to dev the app so it knows exactly what phone/tablet you have and calibrate everything over it.... what I expect from SG is like I said a kind of super extra bonus feature like movies have on blu rays in better and more useful to the game (and not key element) for exemple being able to have maps displayed live, have inventory open, get data information like the codex in final fantasy but in a nicer more ebook like way with picture stats etc.... then have skill trees there with different explanation..... etc a ton of stuff you already have or use as a gamer but all accessible at the touch of a screen..... no more need to pause a game navigate through 10 tabs to get the formula of the superbad ass healing potion recipe..... or hours of surfing on game faqs or game wiki to know what stats that weapon have I just looted and its effect.... and one thing I can see is to have more hot keys too for some games.... I'm sure it would be easy to have a couple icons to have quick access to some extra potions a hotswap of equipment or just to switch between one shortcut layout on the d pad and the other.... anyway what I'm saying journalist like the forbes guy or eurogamers award.... are just morons or too stupid to see what potential extra stuff you can get from SG without even go all crazy on augmented stuff... just buy using the extra screen realestate to have stuff on for easy access.... |
Exactly. And while thx1139 showed that it could be possible to at least have a certain amount of WiiU like screen to screen superposition and such, as you said the proposition seems complex (for a reason you mentioned: varying screen sizes and whatnot), and out of place for the reason 2 provided.
You know, SG could possibly offer most WiiU features, but as you're saying, I just don't see it happening for most features due to complexity and inconvenience. However, for most of the Netflix, menu selection, map features of the WiiU, I do believe SG can rival very well in that category.
And to tie in with your gripe about the journalists in this ridiculous article, they fail to realize that neither WiiU nor PS3 (at least atm) will not implement SG, and so the WiiU pad is not irrelevant as long as Nintendo decides it does not want to use the SG technology. Pretty simple logic really, but they just don't get it. It's sad to be completely honest. Sad that humans don't push their intellects enough to avoid being so biased. But what can you do?
We complain here, but the author doesn' even hear it. All we can do is encourage each other not to be like that, and not to be jerks like me.
