When I first saw this I thought just what we need another failed Android device.

Then I saw the specs., and honestly it's not bad at all 8-core mobile CPU + Tegak K1 and likely 2GB RAM. Pretty much a PS360+ and just below Wii U.

Then I saw the price $99 - $499, if they can get a $99 model out (this is China) then this just might be worth it. A $99 PS360+ isn't a bad gift for a casual gamer. Plus with devs. like EA and 2K taking mobile serious it can be the perfect mini console for kids, or one you take with you on vacations without fear of something happening to your $500+ real console investment.

Then I saw the phone, and thought Sony needs to go ahead and make a line of PlayStation Phones. Mobile devices are evolving too fast so handhelds are becoming obsolete unless they are designed as Cellphones / Tablets. This phone is everything I wanted in the Vita "4 shoulder buttons", and now the power of a PS3 truly in your hands.

The only thing missing is a household name brand to sell these devices, otherwise these little android devices could be a solid niche product, if the builds are quality.

Sony has been doing gaming phones for years, unfortunately they've always flopped.

The only one I remember is the PS Phone, which was kind of like the PSPGo. Technology wasn't ready back then, but now it's more than ready, and this device has all it needs.

They can make the most powerful android console in the world, but there still arent any games that come close to utilizing that power. Half Life, GTA:SA, Oddworld, and SW:KOTOR are the most taxing mobile games on googleplay and they are PS1-2 era games. Unless a company plans on releasing AAA android games, they will be left behind simply by the low quality of current apps.

A definite one up on Ouya... does anyone even remember that console?

TbagginEagle3431d ago

Yup. I have one and I watch everything that everyone else pays several hundred dollars a month for,for free. Its awesome, another way to give the cable companies the middle finger. Just watched The Interview for free about to go watch Fury might play some Metro Last Light later.

ifrit_caress3427d ago

Any console that helps you stick it to the cable company is good enough for me.

Sonic Rumble first impressions: A little too much Fall Guys, not enough Sonic

Sonic Rumble, at its core, is a fun game that doesn’t take much longer than five minutes to play an entire match, provided you get to the final round. There are definitely areas for improvement, particularly in the speed of the game, but for a first showing, it’s a fun time. There’s a lot of room for fun callbacks in the level design and skin choices, and hopefully, more unique challenges will make their way in as updates come out. For being a spin-off mobile title, it's about as good as could be expected.

Remaster sonic shuffle. I had tons of fun with that game back during the DC days.

May as well just do a Mario Party crossover, I mean they did have the Olympics games

I don't get Sega there's years when they clearly get it like sonic mania but there's years where they just slap the branding on a random game and call it a day.
