Xbone handheld with what game? There exclusives for it plus I don't think a handheld would handle Crackdown 3 destruction online plus might overheat .

You've not read the article, have you?

He's still groggy because he just crawled out from under his bridge.

I would absolutely accept a down scaled 720p portable way to play my massive ps4 library.
I would also love an excuse to buy a portable Xbox One and ply all those games I've missed out on in, admittedly, a lower frame rate and resolution.
I still play my Vita and may get a Switch.

headblackman2518d ago

well if resolution and power is why made you miss out on the xbox one, then i hope you're going to purchase the xbox scorpio so you no longer have to worry about playing a game in and inferior resolution or with low power. since that's your reason for missing out.

XanderZane2517d ago

It would depend on a lot of things. Definitely the price of the systems ad games. How powerful the systems were. How much support they would get. I got a 3DS because it has huge game support and lots of exclusives you can't play anywhere else. Plus the price was right. It also was B/C with the original DS and I own tons of those games too. So it was worth getting. Don't know if I would rush out and buy another Sony handheld after the little support it's receiving now. I'm not even thinking about the Switch for at least another year or so. Microsoft had already said they weren't planning on making any handheld systems in the future.

I've streamed to my Vita from my PS4 and I've streamed to my Surface from my Xbox One and used my Xbox One controller with it. I didn't care for the small screen experience on either. I get the appeal of gaming on the go, but porting console games to a small screen doesn't always go well. To me, mobile gaming should fit the platform and the games should be shorter since mobile is usually for killing time in between doing other things.

AOXSquare2519d ago

It wouldn't be about porting the games, as this would be basically the Xbox One and PS4 system in handheld form, no need to port....

Death2519d ago

Maybe port wasn't the best word to use, I mean not all games designed to fit a big screen play well on a much smaller screen. Something that measures a couple inches across on a 50" screen is very difficult to see on a 5" screen.

TheCommentator2518d ago

Play anywhere may someday allow for mobile to play XB1 software through Play Anywhere. I think making a dedicated portable vs. using the portable smart devices we already own is rather pointless.

Tech52519d ago

"Would you welcome an XB1/PS4 Handheld?"

not so much for me. i never have the time that i wish when i'm on the go to play anything big. even when i make time it's still not enough and so i'm just fine with stationary gaming.

2pacalypsenow2519d ago

Nah, I don't want an under powered PlayStation or Xbox.

CrimsonPheonix2517d ago

They're already underpowered running on jaguar chips.

Bigpappy2519d ago

No to Xbox handheld for me. Of any kind. But if other people want one, they should let M$ know. It's just not how I game

Game Boy Emulator Recreated In Minecraft

A user on Reddit posted a video of a fully functional Game Boy in Minecraft that they created, featuring a few old-school games.

SinisterMister777d ago

Creativity at its level best.
Ah man, had way too many good memories with that classic Game Boy.

-Hermit-777d ago

What people create in Minecraft never fails to impress me. I remember a while back somebody made Shenmue in Minecraft. The accuracy and detail was amazing. I'm sure it's still on Youtube.

SinisterMister776d ago

I'll look into that bud, thanks for letting me know. Do you know there's a YouTube channel called The Foo Network (iirc) that recreated the entirety of Hogwarts in Minecraft, including Diagon alley? Holy snowballs, people are too talented.

Which is the All-Time Greatest Console for RPGs?

Pokemon SnS? How bout you remove that blemish from the list and add Witcher 3 since it is nowhere else on the list and is playable on Switch.

ManMarmalade1075d ago (Edited 1075d ago )

Chill, my guy. It's an article with a personal preference.

bouzebbal1075d ago

PS1 the queen, followed by SNES.

Army_of_Darkness1075d ago

Ps1 hands down. King of jrpgs!

PrinceAli1074d ago

You clearly didn't read the article loool.. it's going by the console so Witcher 3 isn't a loss because they're talking about Switch and if you'd ACTUALLY BS and say Witcher 3 Switch edition deserves to be on this list of SWITCH RPGs than SnS then you're deluded

ManMarmalade1075d ago (Edited 1075d ago )

I'd have to say PS1 based on personal preferences for RPGs and also because Legend of Dragoon is my all time favourite game that I'll never stop playing. PS1 had too many great classics that I still own and play to this day more than any other console I've owned. The nostalgia factor for PS1 RPGs is immense every time I play. I get so sucked into the stories I played over and over as a kid. PS2 comes in at a close second for me.

Gardenia1075d ago

FFVII, FFVIII, FFIX, Suikoden 1 and 2, Vagrant Story. To name a few.

Chevalier1075d ago

Valkyrie Profile, Grandia, Persona, ARC the Lad, Alundra and on and on. So many fantastic RPGs. Then add in re-releases of Final Fantasy Tactics, Chrono Trigger, Lunar, Ogre Battle, Breath of Fire etc. There's no other system that comes close.

arvfab1075d ago

Wouldn't it actually be the PS2, as you have ALL of the PS1 ones additionally to the PS2 games?

ManMarmalade1075d ago (Edited 1075d ago )

True, but this is going by games specifically for the console is what I'm assuming considering they put PS2 under PS1. You have to remember that not everyone that owned a PS2 necessarily had PS1 games for it.

AnnaDea1075d ago

The 3 great rpg consoles were: Snes, PSX and PS2.

Golden age of jrpg for me was on psx.

ManMarmalade1075d ago (Edited 1075d ago )

I see youre a person of culture as well :)

Smellsforfree1074d ago

I <3 my CFW PS3 fat. Being able to play PS1, PS2, and SNES (through RetroArch) games is pretty awesome. I have problems with the occasional PS1 title, but it mostly works great.

TheGreatGazoo301075d ago (Edited 1075d ago )

Xbox obviously going forward. I'd be my choice for all-time too. All the back catalog games they have, most in GamePass, and they own pretty much all the major western RPG studios, so all new ones will be exclusive to the Xbox Platform and launching in GamePass. (I'm excluding PC in my answer since the article says console)

roadkillers1075d ago

I doubt it. PS had the exclusive FF7 remake and tons of support from Japanese developers. Maybe they will come to gamepass at a later date. Bethesda is where gamepass might shine.

LegoIsAwesome1075d ago

Xbox fans nowadays: "Game Pass this, Game Pass that"

InUrFoxHole1075d ago

Can't deny gamepass fam, sorry. But I agree in that it doesn't hold weight in this convo.

Sayai jin1075d ago

@Legolas, isn't game pass about games? What is a console for. Games. So what's your point?

MadLad1075d ago (Edited 1075d ago )

Because it's a pretty damn good service, but I have it for PC.

Deathdeliverer1075d ago

@Thegreatgazoo

You have GOT to be kidding. I cannot take you seriously.

TheGreatGazoo301075d ago

@Deathdeliverer

What? I don't like JRPGs. I like western RPGs. MS owns Obsidian, InExile, all the beathesda studios, and more. They own almost all the major western RPG studios. Seems that makes Xbox a great place to play RPGs.

WillyC0091074d ago

I think most people can’t take his drivel seriously. He sounds like a terrible Xbox ad in the nonsense he says.

Sayai jin1075d ago

Game pass has some decent RPGs, bit their have been many great ones way befor game pass. PS and PS2 era come to mind.

BlaqMagiq11075d ago

Except western RPGs aren't the only RPGs. There are also JRPGs and Xbox is BY FAR the worst in that category. And no they don't own all the western studios but good joke tho.

TheGreatGazoo301074d ago

@BlaqMagiq1

I agree with you. It was a personal answer for me.if you love JRPGs, Xbox is a bad choice. If you love western RPGs, its likely the best console option going forward.

They don't litterally own all the western RPG studios. MS does own most of the major ones though.

ScootaKuH1075d ago

Western RPGs can't hold a candle to Japanese RPGs imo.

Xbox will never be the home of, nor be even close to being the best place to play RPGs. It's not a priority for Microsoft.

For me, the best consoles to play RPGs are SNES and PS1. For more modern goodness the Switch has a lot so probably deserves a mention as well. Xbox isn't even on the radar

Mr_Luke1074d ago

There are so many RPGs that Xbox hasn't and won't get in the future... so it's "just a bit" subjective that statement and not so "obvious". You can't know which RPG/JRPG will come out on other consoles in the future.
And for 1 exclusive to Xbox, who says the other ones won't get 2, 3, 4+? I'm thinking about Switch, for example, i bet it's going to get a lot of them and exclusive ones too.
Or you're just a fan, so it's ok or maybe you entered the gaming world in these 6-7 years, and that's ok too. But you can't call the Xbox "ultimate RPG console", it just isn't.

PS3 for Mass Effect 3, Fallout 3, Dragon Age 2, Dead Island and Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

CantThinkOfAUsername1075d ago

Mass Effect 3 AND Dragon Age 2?
So you have chosen death...

frostypants1075d ago (Edited 1075d ago )

Yeah but props for the Deus Ex: HR mention. So underrated.

Yui_Suzumiya1073d ago

I love all the Mass Effect games from the original trilogy so that's a hard decision, tbh. As far as Dragon Age, I didn't like Origins, only 2 and Inquisition. I'm getting tired of having to defend my decision in this place for a decade now but I love seeing people get riled up over it, lol.

annoyedgamer1075d ago

None of those are exclusive to the playstation though.
