I read John Carmack say that you could DOUBLE the performance of a game (or engine), if you had a KNOWN hardware configuration.

- maaaats 12y agoIt's always interesting to compare games from when a console was first launched to when it's old. They can take incredible shortcuts and push things very hard when they are not just straight up porting a game.
- saturdaysaint 12y agoJust as interesting to me is how well everything is optimized for power consumption. I can't imagine playing anything as simple as match 3 puzzle game on my iPhone for more than 10 minutes without taking hours of standby time off of my phone. You can really get several multi-hour play sessions out of one full charge on the N3DS. The shoddy battery life (for gaming, at least) of phones really precludes the ability to immerse yourself in an experience for an hour or two.
