dmarkwick 261 Posted March 14, 2012 I'm not sure I know the distinction between console, PC, tablet etc. They all have something in common - they're all developed initially on a PC. I reckon that's why most games are even now also released on PC, because that's where they already are. Don't bother me with exceptions - I know they exist. When I see no more games for the PC I will call the PC dead as a gaming platform. Until then I'll just play some PC games. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beagle 684 Posted March 14, 2012 It does not matter what plattform, virtual electronic entertainment is dead, simply because it turned into a nuisance instead of entertainment. The Industrie wil milk the last few addicts but sooner or later somethign else wil have to coem up, somethign that does not try to entertain you by sittign in front of a screen getting fat.

PELHAM 10 Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) What happens when you overclock your iPad to run Arma2. Also where do I plug in my footpedals, joystick and TrackIR? Edited March 14, 2012 by PELHAM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hellfire257 3 Posted March 14, 2012 Do these threads EVER stop? :O I'm surprised Walker hasn't done a "2012 - end of the world" thread yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beagle 684 Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) I know but be honest, it's also the same game here for 11 years and we did the same repetetive stuff in this years playing it like in 2001. virtual gaming as a whole gats boring and I find myself doing real physical stuff more and more again. Doing al that vebntourous stuff in video game, no matter what plattform, is basically the same like having sex with one of these japanese sex robot dolls doll no matter how real "it" might me manufactured, its fake.

[frl]myke 14 Posted March 14, 2012 The RealDoll is a life-size sex doll (also considered a mannequin) manufactured by Abyss Creations in San Marcos, California, and sold worldwide. with one of these japanese sex robot dolls doll Although i agree with you, still when trying to make a point, you should at least read the first line of the article you're linking to. Or belongs California to Japan now? US apologies for atomizing Hiroshima? And they do feel extrmely natural.....i've heard....a friend said.....what he read......ah f***, can someone point me the direction for back to topic, please?

MrBump 10 Posted March 15, 2012 Hi allJust to make it clear I do not like Battlefield! But as a pointer to where things are going: iQnLOCrZaWg Bare in mind that I can already play my Android games, including a race driving sim and a 3D MMOG space sim in Full HD on my TV. Kind Regards walker There's more than a little irony here considering that Battlefield 3 Aftershock was permanently pulled by EA because of multiple issues including unusable controls. http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2012/3/1/2836409/battlefield-3-aftershock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maddogx 13 Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) The very notion of tablets replacing the PC and consoles as gaming platforms is hilariously ridiculous. Yes, the mobile gaming market is booming, but there are genres that simply cannot translate to that medium. First person shooters are a prime example, as MrBumps link shows. The sales numbers for games like COD and BF are in the double digit millions and steadily rising, despite the mobile and tablet boom. The way I see it, mobile gaming is mostly opening up a whole new, wider market - tapping new resources, so to speak - not conquering the existing one. Cheap casual games are making games more accessable to a wider spectrum of people, but that doesn't mean PC and console games and gamers are simply going to vanish into thin air.

Mr. Charles 22 Posted March 15, 2012 A better field of applications for Tablets would be as a 2nd monitor for games. With their touchscreens, they would be very nice MFDs or maps/menues.

mrcash2009 0 Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) Also, if you plug a keyboard and extra monitor into a device that has silicon chips on it, that runs the same OS software & games and has touch screen but mouse option, isnt that just a PC? Talk about reinventing the wheel, tablets are a new money making market to act like pc (only to expand on being just like a pc ... which we have!?) based on all that people want from a tablet to like it, they are a cut down "all in one" with the only way to upgrade is a new one, upgrading is the reason PC aren't dead, lets really get to the point. You think all the hardware manufacturers are going to let that all go and promote it as dead? In the economy world wide we have right now? Stop being blind sighted by future society balls, and look at the industrial aspect. It like saying land lines/phones are dead becuase we have mobiles ... they aren't are they. Seems to me that its only dead in your mind due to acceptance and persuasion by "futurists" and people wanting to reinvent the wheel and another money making market, both go hand in hand.

NoRailgunner 0 Posted March 15, 2012 Well as additional screen one could use his android smartphone/tablet (guess thats where BIS could/will go too?) eg something like DCS Manager with A-10C: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.yeepeekai.dcs.manager&feature=search_result Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonci87 163 Posted March 15, 2012 OK I tested the App and I think it is quite usefull evn for gaming. The downsides are that you have to install additional software on your PC (that had to be expected) and that you can´t monitor your GPU temps. Does somebody know an app that lets you do this?
