| disolitude said: "Android games"... I think you need to check out what Android games are like now and what they have to offer. People are far too easy to dismiss android as a mobile gaming platform. There are games that look better than anything you'll find on PSVita or 3DS graphically. Check out upcoming dead trigger 2 for example... There are games that add extra features not found anywhere else...check out Sonic the Hedgehog 25 anniversary which added new modes, ability to play as tails and knuckles, spin dash, no acceleration limits... Also there are full console games available on Android you can play in HD and on the go. Playing the Conduit in HD you bought for $2.99 on the go is an "exclusive". You'd have to get a wii, buy a game for 20 bucks and play in SD to play it otherwise... |
I am not disputing the fact that Android games can be of a very high quality but they were still mostly developed with sluggish touch controls in mind. So even if the button controls on the Shield are super tight, the game will still be limited in areas like difficulty and level design because of its heritage, if that makes any sense. Also, games like the Ace Attorney Trilogy, TWEWY and the upcoming Breath of Fire 6 are iOS games afaik and not on android so there goes another chunk of games I would be interested in.
Again, I am not saying that the Shield isn't a good device. It probably is, but without compelling games there's just no value for me. Although I would like to try playing Dishonored on it and see how it goes.
Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.
