I'm considering getting one of these, partially because of this, do you guys think it's worth the money? I have a nvidia card, so I could stream games too
why would anyone wanna play any game on that thing
[QUOTE=TheDecryptor;44767867]What do you think Android is?
The biggest issue is that Android has a completely different graphics stack to desktop Linux (Although desktop Linux is in the slow progress of migrating since the desktop stack sucks), even the Steam Machines use a nearly 27 year old display protocol, and render through a 15 or so year old extension to the protocol to allow 3D graphics.
Also, any assembly code has to be rewritten, can't run x86 assembly on ARM.
Edit: What am I on about, people shouldn't be using GLX anymore, they should be using DRI.[/QUOTE]
Which is exactly why it'd be less work to port Source to desktop Linux on ARM rather than Android.
(Of course, going with desktop Linux for consumer gaming device when another OS already has a library of games and works just fine would be insane, but still.)
Gave Doom 3 a try on my Galaxy S4. Without any tweaking its been really variable fps wise. But damn does it actually look nice. I'd imagine an optimized, proper port of HL2 will work great!
