From GamingTarget.com: "It may not be called the iPad 3 or the iPad HD, but the next biggest rumor about “the new iPad” was certainly true: it has a beautiful Retina Display. In fact, that description doesn’t do it justice. How about “the highest resolution screen for a mobile device?” The specs back up that claim with a 2048 x 1536 resolution, whopping 3.1 million total pixels and 44% greater color saturation vs. the iPad 2. The result is more vivid colors and pixel-perfect graphics, something that a side-by-side comparison of the new iPad and iPad 2 bore out at today’s Apple press conference. So while the look and feel of the new iPad hasn’t changed very much, the technology crammed inside received all of Apple’s love and attention and, as horsepower-loving gamers, that gets our attention."
Retro gaming console emulator apps are now welcome on the Apple App Store and can even offer downloadable games.
From systems that could keep your beer cool, to oddities trying to get in on the popularity of VHS and laserdisc, you’ve got some very, very weird video game consoles out there.
I had the LaserActive... it was a nice collectors piece but not very practical. Especially when it came to needing recapping. I think i paid all of about $50 for the floor model from an incredible Universe back in the day. I ended up selling it many years later for $300 at the time due to it needing a new laser and the aforementioned recapping.
An honorable mention not on the list would be the VM Labs Nuon. It basically looked like any regular DVD player but it had ports on it for controllers to play specific games. one of which is still exclusive to it with Tempest 3000. It also offered nuon enhanced DVD movies with extra content not accessible by regular players.
Epic Games winning its cases against both Apple and Google is shaping the way forward for the future of mobile gaming.
I feel alot of mobile gamers are kids which will at some point probably turn to console or pc. Mobile gaming just doesn't cut it for me.
It seems the only thing that iPAD has increased is it's own specs. However, all the "flagship" gaming titles have ironically less depth the the average gameboy game.
It's embarrassing to see EPIC kiss ass to such a device.
