Mobile - Not Just for Minute Gaming Anymore

Slowly but surely, iOS and Android devices are seeing full-length, well-received titles hit the platform that have more in common with established consoles than what we think of as "phone gaming."

For me mobile games are always going to be minute gaming. If I wanted to play a bigger game like an fps or RPG i'd play it on my console or pc.

LeShin4517d ago

My smartphones battery life says otherwise...I don't want to play a game to drain all the battery then I find I can't call anyone!

I'll stick to dedicated handhelds thanks.

They might look like something that's getting close to console games, but as far as actually playing those games goes, they're not even close.

buckley4517d ago

The point is in how quickly the trend is moving and shows no signs of changing. Of course today they're not even close, but they're exponentially closer than they were even a year ago.

Wintersun6164517d ago

I was talking about hardware, controls to be exact. A device which has only a touch screen will never be on par with console games, no matter how good they look. Some people say this can be fixed with an external controller, but wouldn't that be a blow to portability?

buckley4514d ago (Edited 4514d ago )

Oh I 100% agree that the touch screen controls will never evolve to equality. But while using an external controller would be a blow to portability, a lot of people aren't going to treat that as a deal breaker. It would still certainly be more portable than a PS3 or an Xbox 360, and more capable than a pocket system.

It'll be interesting to see exactly where it goes, but the trend is firmly in place. And besides, you know someone's going to add dual analogs to a tablet at some point. Imagine the Wii U controller powered by Android with a Tegra 3. Problem solved.

some really good games on that list. some of my favorites (not on the list) are Metal Slug XX, ultimate Ghosts & Goblins, Gradius Collection, Motorstorm Arctic Edge and Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters.

Knushwood Butt601d ago

Metal Slug XX is surprisingly good.

isarai601d ago

I get that The Warriors is technically a PS2 game ported over, but damn it's amazing on the PSP

roadkillers600d ago

Dark Mirror was the best. Multiplayer and single player was fantastic

roadkillers600d ago

I'm curious but is it possible to legally play these games without buying a psp?

luckytrouble1130d ago

You can play some of them on the Vita via PSN purchasing, but a PSP with a functional UMD drive is the only completely legal way to play games like FF7: Crisis Core.

WeAreLegion1129d ago

Some of them, yes. But most PSP games are locked to that system or digitally on Vita. The Vita's second analog stick is amazing for FPS games. I use an emulator to play many PSP games. I know that's illegal, but I wouldn't call it unethical. There's no way to give developers money for these games anymore. Unless you buy their new games. :)

Highly recommend Infected, if you get the chance.

Magic_Spatula1129d ago

Emulators aren't illegal. Unethical? Maybe. The issue companies have are how you obtained the games. If you got them through legal matters (such as making your own backups of games you own and not distributing them), they're mostly okay with that. If you got the through less..... ethical means, then yeah, it's a no-no in their eyes.

Fluke_Skywalker1129d ago

@Magic_Spatula Like he said, there is no legal way to buy most psp games anymore in a way that gives the developers any money. So yes emulators are normally illegal and unethical, but in this case its actually the only way to play some of these games, if you didn't buy the games many years ago.

Fluke_Skywalker1129d ago

Yeah they really need to give us a remake of that for PS4/5 I absolutely loved that game. Still the saddest ending to a video game ever.

SDuck1130d ago

The fact this has vanilla Dissidia instead of Duodecim tells me not to take the list serious. Duodecim is obviously the superior since it has the same content (story included) from the first game and (much) more

Magic_Spatula1129d ago

Yeah. Duodecim was basically an enhanced version of the original game.
