If Win8 tablets play all PC games and run PC apps, what is the point of Vita ?

[QUOTE="MonsieurX"]Do you believe that W8 tablets will play all games because of Windows 8?loosingENDS

Of course, it has been confirmed to run everything

You do realize hardware power will be an issue, right?

Even if some games are exluded, the power will definatly be more than enough to run more than 2000 PC games (or more)

These systems will be rather powerfull, they rival current consoles

Tablets will likely struggle to run many modern games.

Show me some specs please.

I mainly want them for the 1500+ older games though

And many games will run

Notice that I said "modern".

Older games will no doubt run (i'm talking quite old).

I think i can safely say that a PsP Vita is less fragile and sinse I already have a good laptop i don't need to spend extra money on gadgets. Not only that but the PsP vita is a system of it's own why would i want to buy a pc wanna be when I already have a good laptop ? and no I don't want to have a portable Pc to do what i already do on a pc somewhere else.

And yea i agree with some people you are a little dumb OP take me for example my laptop over heats i need an extra fan to play games on it how could you even expect a tablet to run things ? even photoshop takes considerate amount of computer energy ( depends on what you're doing on it ) and that tablet would just sh!t on itself. Do yourself a favor and spend your money on some nice clothes or buy a round of beer for your buddies. More tablets are just not needed.

Vita has better controls than a touch screen only device.

loosingENDS

These tablets will support any control method, keyboard/mouse/360 pad etc

Via the dock station, i have already seen a video with keyboard

Considering Vita size, you already cant carry it around anyway

Far easier than carrying around a tablet, especially with the control schemes you outlined.

Sure, why not ?

The hardware is almost near xbox 360 and they can have more ram too

Not really, since you have to get a bag for Vita, a bigger bad for a small keyboard and the tablet wont be much larger

Vita is huge in size

If you have that huge thing in your pocket, then you can as well fit a PC tower in there too

No, i would not carry Vita like that

Putting Vita in your pocket means you can put a PC tower in there as well? What ridiculous hyperbole. Tablets are larger than the Vita, and having to cart around a keyboard as well means portability isn't all that great. Let alone setting it up on the go.

Vita is far more portable and fits into a back pocket.

There are combat keyboards that take very little space

You can definatly pack tablet+KB in a small bag, just a bit bigger than the bag i would carry Vita around with

And with that i can play 100+ favourite games of all time, when i dont have a zero game i want to play on Vita

Compact or not, it's still an inconvenience. You're obviously not going to lug around a full desktop keyboard... I thought that was implied :?

No, you likely couldn't. Unless your definition of "a bit bigger" is drastically different from everybody elses.

Another issue is price point. Loosing has shown Razer's concept for a gaming tablet, but the price is estimated at around $800-900. The Vita is priced at $250 or so.

I think the biggest problem Vita faces is Windows 8 tablets that will soon be able to play nearly all PC games in a far bigger screen and with various input methods choices

And will run full PC apps too as it seems, making them the absolute handheld gaming and workstation system

What do you think ?

Intel plans to have Ultrabooks(TM) to include touch controls.

So, it's Intel Ivybridge ULV or AMD Trinity ULV...

Why did you have games in there tht aren't even on the PC, such as Zelda SS? Quick edit. Muramasa is a Wii exclusive and FF9 was never released for the PC.

Some of those games won't even play on the systems unless they're using considerable hardware within the tablets.

Samsung Series 7 slate tablet has Intel Core i5 Processor 2467M (ULV).

Both Intel and AMD will have new CGPU ULV products some time in Q2 2012.

I love how he says there is no need to have PC but is championing PC games now when it fits his agenda.

I'll assume you're saying that it will play certain games. Naturally, price is going to be an issue. Especially when comparing to the Vita, which TC is doing.

How come you made no mention of Core i5/i7 in an x86 Windows tablet, as I usually see most of them based on? Even before that, Core 2 Duo and Pentium M were pretty prevalent in Tablet PCs as well. I don't expect to see that change much. That said, I do wish more of the business-class ones would use the newer AMD CPUs, only because the integrated graphics suck a lot less and Intel really needs the competition.NamelessPlayer

Intel Ivybridge ULV or AMD Trinity ULV will change the IGP issue in the tablet/ultrabook form factors.

menes777

Yep, this thread is to advocate PC gaming. Which is... Odd.

Am I seeing this? hahaha, Loosing ENDS using PC exclusives only when it fits his agenda? I thought PC was garbage and had no godo exclusives?

Intel doesn't have direct competition in ULV "fat" CGPU segment.

This will change with the arrival of AMD Trinity ULV. AMD plans to displaced Bobcat based APU with Trinity ULV APU.

so now windows 8 tablets can play all pc games?stereointegrity

Intel Ivybridge's IGP just rivals AMD Llano APU's IGP. To maintain the IGP gap, AMD needs to release Trinity APU.

Buttons. Deal with it.JohnF111

personally i see it this way

Android Phones (iphone etc) = Cellphones (calls, texting)

Tablets = On the go 'office' work duties

3DS / PSV - gaming on the go..
