Support NeoGAF

[goomba]

Really does look like what I imagine a Microsoft handheld to be (except android of course)

 

[grandjedi6]

A dedicated handheld in 2013? WTF is Nvidia smoking?

All the console manufacturers have moved away from Nivida so I suppose this is their solution

 

[SteeloDMZ]

Open platform, HDMI out, triggers. Boom.

Already 1000x more appealing than a 3DS/Vita.

You and maybe 3 other guys on planet earth agree.

 

[JohnTinker]

holy

RT @joshuatopolsky: Oh and it does 4k! Ha!

 

[Fusebox]

Why are people calling it a portable?

That is many things, but a portable aint one of them.

Seems to be somewhere between a 3DS XL and the iPad in size and I consider both of those to be portable.

You and maybe 3 other guys on planet earth agree.

I am one of those guys. Mshyamalamtwist.gif

The only thing those crazy attempts at the console industry are going to show us is that the real problem with portables is the price of the games. 39 bucks is not gonna cut it, and those machines giving average ass games for 5-10 bucks will make this even more clear.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

TV input said 720p...

 

[neptunes]

What a glorious answer.

A lot of the graphic intensive games from EA are available on android and iOS. There's also GTA3/VC, Asphalt 7 and even Nova 3,

 

[Divvy]

It's running Hawken at 4k?

 

[rouken]

too many wannabe console makers..
next thing you know apple announces a game console.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

IS THE GRAPHICS AMAZING GUYSZ?!

And then they zoom in but at side angles where we can't see the screen directly!

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

holy

RT @joshuatopolsky: Oh and it does 4k! Ha!

at 10fps??

[Kangi]

I wonder what earthly pocket I could possibly squeeze one of those in.

 

[EVOL 100%]

Ouya am cry

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Hawken portable is pretty damn nice.

 

[outsida]

The handheld market has taken an interesting turn the last few years.

 

[Toki767]

How much do you guys think this is going to cost? I'm betting $200.

 

[Sissel]

I lol'd.

 

[Reiko]

So, first console to support 4k!

The most surprising thing about this article is that you can post pictures in the comments on The Verge. Who knew?

 

[goomba]

So, first console to support 4k!

No

 

[VanWinkle]

I'll buy one if it's under $200. But will it be? Very much doubting it.

 

[Lexxon]

Is this thing going to have some kind of PC streaming? PC gaming on the go or on your TV? hmmmmmmmm

 

[Striek]

Vitas first year has been very healthy, and 3DS keeps meeting Nintendos forecasts. However could another system compete.

 

[BriBri]

I might be a handheld gamer but that is one ugly ass device. I'd rather walk around with an original Lynx.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

Well, 3DS needs some kind of competition.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

HO SHIT VALBVE?!?!

 

[neoanarch]

Redesign into something more Wii U gamepad shaped and I am in for one for 150$.

 

[Fusebox]

Ouya am cry

Pretty much, if this plays the same games as Ouya but can be played stand-alone or hooked up to a TV I'd get this over Ouya for sure.

 

[Chittagong]

The saddest thing is that this ungodly behemoth is probably several times more powerful than Vita

 

[NeoUltima]

Wait...so this is Steambox?

 

[Cameron122]

valve.

 

[Reiko]

No

PS3 does 4k?

 

[Bad_Boy]

im in for 200 or less.

 

[Zombie James]

Is this thing can handle 4K video playback, it seems like a no-brainer baseline for next-gen hardware. Not necessarily excited for Shield, but excited for what the future will bring.

 

[lordfroakie]

2013: The year everyone decided they were console manufacturers.

again?

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Wtf?

 

[Kyou]

that looks like the android controller I got for free

 

[Htown]

talking about Valve, Steam, and Big Picture

wat

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

You and maybe 3 other guys on planet earth agree.

The thing is, even if it sells like shit, you know software support won't drop because Android itself will remain popular. It's really a risk-free investment for Android enthusiasts.

Edit: And it streams from PC. Gamechanger.

 

[RM8]

Pretty much, if this plays the same games as Ouya but can be played stand-alone or hooked up to a TV I'd get this over Ouya for sure.

This might be more expensive than Ouya, though. I love handhelds and I'd rather have an Ouya than this at the moment - mostly because we know nothing about it other than the fact that it's ugly, though.

 

[Kadey]

This pic pretty much sums it up.

 

[JDSN]

Ouya am cry

For the makers at least, but the bigger the market, the more people will be interested in making games that are compatible with these devices.

Unless they release one of these things monthly and theres an Android console crash....which is probably what will happen.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

 

[Fredrik]

Clamshell design instantly makes it interesting.
looks big and bulky though.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Oh wow if this runs Steam games via remote play like tech.

 

[toddhunter]

This pic pretty much sums it up.

Top shelf

 

[Easy_D]

This could be a killer portable emulator if it's genuinely open source.

The portable PS2/Gamecube player we deserve
