The controller alone dooms it to most console games.
Sure, some games work well on the interface. But those games are exactly the games I don't want on a TV. Do I really want to play Papers Please on a TV with a tiny touch pad controller remote as opposed to on my lap?
This is too much of a compromise system that sucks at both ends of the spectrum. It's not as good as the iPad for touch games, and it's not as good at consoles at FPS, Strategy, Fighters, etc.
Are people really looking for a niche console inbetween?
- rsynnott 11y agoTo be clear, I don't think people will be playing Papers Please on this; the interface isn't at all suitable. There are plenty of iOS compatible controllers already available which presumably will work with this out of the box. I see this as being potentially huge for people who want to play some console-y games but don't want to spend 400$ On a large noisy box. Also, it could potentially be big for indie devs who want to write console-y games; the current consoles are still not terribly indie-friendly, and in practice most popular indie console games started life as PC games.
