Dell and Alienware continue to showcase their relentless commitment to gaming innovations at CES. Kicking things off with the new redesigned Dell G5 15 SE (Special Edition), the latest product in Dell’s G Series portfolio for new and price-conscious gamers. You’ll also learn about a new software to help monitor in-game performance without having to …
Razer has been surprising us every CES and this year is no different.
Can anybody explains me why they mention xcloud and stadia as could gaming as if they invented and are the only ones doing it when playstation now exist and also does it or shieldtv ? I have steamed game on playstationnow and i can also play any game on steam streaming it through my shieldtv without the need of owning a pc.
Virtual reality promises to be a mega-trend that upends how we use computers and just plain get along. So why's it such a snooze at the world's biggest tech expo?
i guess some people are waiting for some must have titles. you have big games on consoles and the pc that can sell hardware, i haven't heard anything yet in regards to vr.
I just think VR is the latest thing to have suffered from overhype in the gaming industry
I read this last night and the guy seemed like he was waiting for the ultimate next phase in VR when most companies that went to CES were showing updates to help VR grow. Very negative read.
Valve/HTC brought tech that turns regular objects into trackable VR items, one company brought shoes that allow you to feel what it's like to walk over and in terrain and water in VR, an adapter was brought there to help PC VR be more mobile with less cables and a battery pack. Announcement of VR streaming service, more competing headsets shown like lenovo, etc.
But this guy was looking for something beyond which was unreasonable. Just read some of the comments from the article that slides out from the right. You'll see the usual knuckleheads thinking VR is like 3DTV. Bit the Majority could see some advances in tech that are helping VR grow into the next optional interactive experience.
As others and I have said, VR is not a "one year slam bam thank you ma'am here it is mass market eat it up right away" kind of thing. Cellphones we have today didn't just "happen." It took years for the phones to get better, smaller and more useful and networks to get better to provide the experience consumers expect. And we got people expecting VR to just explode overnight like this article writer.
It's like people today have no clue how the things we use today came about and the work and long road to get there. VR is new and has a long road ahead.
Let's give it time to mature before knocking it. I haven't jumped on the hype train either and I always wanted to give it at least two years. Hopefully, developers really showcase what it can do this year and beyond.
Fove 0 is the first ever eye tracking VR headset which is launched at CES today. Fove uses the infrared sensors to track the accurate movement of your eyes.
If I try genuinely shifts the focus area to pinpoint on your centre of vision rather than just pointing forward this will go some way towards solving motion sickness for some people. I'd love for FOV/depth blur to be affected by eye movements.. It'll make vr so much more realistic.
Hopefully there are a few alienware ufos made because I know a lot of people like portable gaming but have to suffer because the ones available are weak and have hardware issues that need to be sorted. Some people say power doesnt matter but are wishing everyday to have a more powerful switch. Now people can have way better technology with a lot more available pc games.
Certainly a nice looking device. I might be interested if the price/power ratio is reasonable. Knowing Alienware though, thats a not so good chance. Steam, xCloud, Play Anywhere, apps, media, possibly navigation and maps...could be a nice little multimedia handheld device.
I'll always be interested in dedicated gaming handhelds, but seeing as this is Alienware I doubt the price will be anywhere near affordable
The Alienware UFO looks bad ass! I would seriously consider getting one of these things.
The same old dream of PC-on-mobile again....... This dream has never/ will not ever be realized, at least in the business sense. Games in each game-eco system must cater to the specific requirement in order to success. Mainly the different screen size + control method (PC vs Console vs mobile phone vs Nintendo). Most PC game are designed around the control method of mouse + keyboard. It will be very difficult to translate this into a console-like mobile machine. Also, game developer would have to do a lot of optimization for their PC game to work on this new machine.
