so exactly what games are you missing out on?
so exactly what games are you missing out on?
What aren't we missing out on?
Max Payne, Grand Theft Auto 3, Infinity Blade 2, Dead Space, Dark Meadow, Order and Chaos Online, Real Racing, Zen Bound 2, Galaxy on Fire 2, NOVA 2, etc.
The thing is, we're actually missing out on single core games too, and few of which I slipped onto that list. Why? Because our phone's graphics processor does, actually, really suck:
Can Dual-core Android Phones Like the LG G2x Replace Your Gaming Console?
It's a little upsetting to see that the iPhone 4 at 800mhz is, potentially, twice as powerful as my Focus at 1Ghz. That would go a long ways towards explaining why we haven't seen more high-end titles on our platform.
So why do you think these are "dual core games"? Some of these are compatible with iOS 3.X.X devices. Considering the 1st gen iPod Touch is a 3.X.X device and runs @412Mhz. Even 2nd Gen is only 533Mhz with the same GPU as the first Gen. I dont think processing power is the issue. Have you actually contacted the developers about these games? I would guess the issue is more thst they simply havent got around to porting them all to this platform yet. I know EA and Gameloft have been pretty busy porting games to Blackberry's Playbook lately.
You havent seen "high-end" games because WP doesnt have the market share of iOS and Android. On top of all that, the other platforms (iOS, Android and even Blackberry) that have those games also have tablets, which the games were probably mainly ported for.
...Where are the custom keyboards? Browser alternatives?...
Whoever thinks "specs" are the reason that WP is not seeing top tier games is severely jaded. It all comes down to user base. If Im a developer, why would I waste all the time, energy, and resources on an OS that has only 5% marketshare?
The Specs are fine on the OS, its not Android, it doesn't need low, mid and high end, and only way to differentiate between the 3 is....specs! WP is a highly refined OS which still zips along nicely on year old hardware.
Also it doesn't help that the marketing for WP7 is ultra lame compared to how iPhone gets advertised. Like that latest Samsung Focus S ad with those 2 idiot guys. If you notice Apple ads usually don't feature actors and if they do they don't talk. It's always something very touching. The only ad I've seen from Micrsoft that comes close is the "Kinect Effect" which I'm not sure is even ever going to be aired + it has the lame part of people playing "air instruments". That's just moronic.
it will exist as WP8 or 9. Nice troll attempt
