Are Android-based gaming consoles going to crash and burn soon?

By the end of this year, gamers will see the release of several Android-based consoles from Ouya, Nvidia, BlueStacks and even MadCatz. The question is - will they thrive alongside the Xboxes and PlayStations or will they crash and burn?

For them to crash and burn they would have to have taken off first.

SpinalRemains4064d ago

Right.

They're sitting on the runway with Xbox, slowly inching away from it so they don't get charged or spied on.

NioRide4064d ago

Really they should't have bothered with the device, As new Snapdragon 800 and Tegra 4 are out and newer chips will be released next year.

The mobile market is good for gaming from a set perspective. but its not enough to take the market by storm. Really just for those select few who have a interest in it like myself.

A big draw to this console is that there a several great emulators to play all the last gen games (nes, snes, ps1, genesis, etc).

Plus all the cheesy, short cell phone games that you can shake a stick at from the android market (if you don't already have a smart phone). I could see this having some appeal for some people, just not a lot.

EA May Add A Replay Editor To Its Games

EA has published a new patent that wants to add a replay editor to its games, allowing players to modify the captured gameplay content.

sammichosaurus18d ago

They should fix their games first.

Knightofelemia18d ago

Most likely comes with microtransactions and loot boxes.

Inverno18d ago

Nah you just gotta watch a short, unskipable, 30 seconds ad every time you use the feature. Those same ads will then be automatically edited into your captured gameplay before your video is stored online (no local saves), where they will have the right to use for promotional purposes.

Snookies1218d ago (Edited 18d ago )

Please don't give them ideas, lol! That definitely sounds like something they'd love to do.

What? They don't want to go and crap on the corpse of Tango Gameworks?

C'mon it's the perfect time for a Phil Spencer speech about how they love and want to support Japanese game developers!

Cacabunga21d ago

Xbox is a joke all over, in Japan even more..

XiNatsuDragnel22d ago

I think they shouldn't go TGS every year tbh because there presence is zero imo

IAMRealHooman21d ago

he's not wrong, Japan has been a a notoriously weak market for them, their best performing gen was the 360 and that was only 1 million units

shinoff218322d ago

This is usually my favorite gameshow of the year. Can't wait to see what goodies are coming.

jznrpg22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

I want to see the jrpgs so I also like the show a lot

gold_drake22d ago

not surprised, they probably realised that its a lost cause for them in japan ha.

badz14921d ago

achtually, it's a lost cause for them everywhere outside the US

Elda22d ago

They showed their hand already including that they have nothing for the Japanese market.

Hofstaderman21d ago

Nothinhg for AND from the Japanese market.

EA Hiring Ex-Military Personnel to Help Build Next Battlefield Game via "Hiring Our Heroes" Program

EA has hired ex-military personnel in order to help shape the next Battlefield game as part of the Hiring Our Heroes (HOH) program.

OtterX41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

Why don't you Hire Your Old Dev Team who brought us the brilliance of Battlefield Bad Company 2 while you're at it. It was more exciting than anything recent in the Battlefield series. It just needs to be updated to reach modern times, but it was so great at its core.

just_looken41d ago

This would be nice but that team has tossed out the finals and has arc raiders on the back burner

20 thousand still play the final's

Why get slapped around by ea when you already have something going on.

What the next battlefield needs is a step back simple functional not a live service and smaller player servers than 2042. Just make it like battlefiled 3 with bad company destruction just something simple

But they already killed off ridgeline games that had ex halo/cod devs so no singleplayer unless they make another dev team for it.

It's what made zipper and slant six awesome. They had military vets working for them, no just as consultants, but as developers as well. I wish Sony never closed them, MAG 2 or an update to MAG and a new socom is much needed.

just_looken41d ago

Older ps3 battlefield titles did the same even went to the range to get sound files.

But all these titles we are talking about were on the ps3 a console so powerful it offered free mp and games did not need 4 levels of payment plans even more crazy was the player size of mag's games.

TheColbertinator40d ago

A return to the golden age of Battlefield seems so far away now

Str8Chaos7440d ago

Sadly I think you are correct. They just don’t get it. They will do their live service game with its Battle Royale and fail at both.I hate being so negative, but I have little faith in EA at this point.
