By far the most controversial gaming platform; mobile gaming. Thoughts and opinions? Personally, I think this has great potential. It has a bad reputation due to all the shite and F2P BS, but mobile is capable of great things. Just look at the port of GTA: San Andreas. Plays and looks great, better than it's PS2 and Xbox counterparts. Apart from them, you have games like Oceanhorn, and IIRC, that started on mobile. From what I've played of it, Oceanhorn looks, runs and sounds fantastic. I believe it's coming to Wii U, as well. Another game that really impresses me is Modern Combat 4. Jesus, that game looks amazing. You can have a legit gaming experience on mobile, but sadly most of the "hardcore" games are ports or remakes, but even then, they're fantastic. You can get pretty much any Dragon Quest game on the App Store, and for $19.99 you can buy Final Fantasy 7, probably the most beloved RPG of all time. But this is just official, legal gaming. If you have an Apple device that can run iOS 7+, you can emulate SNES, GBA, GBC, GB, NES, Genesis etc, flawlessly. So yeah, mobile can be home to decent ports and remakes, you can emulate a shitton of systems, and sometimes you may come across a good, original mobile game. If mobile is gonna be the console killer, I'm sure we'll see a lot more of these "console quality" games. Discuss. |

I'm not a fan of mobile games... Probably because they practically spell out console killer, and I'm proud to be a console peasant. Most of them are emulators, as well. Oceanhorn sounds fantastic, though... And I've been meaning to play Dragon Quest for a while now. |

I'm just happy that mobile games have evolved so much over the years. Back in 2010 the App Store was filled with games with shitty sprites. Maybe a choppy as f*ck 3D game. There is a reason Oceanhorn sounds so good. It's a lot like Zelda. People call it a rip off, I call it a homage. |
