Wow, I've always to play Metro:LL at a blazing fast 12 fps

If you read the page, they have worked closely with AMD to select the best existing chip that enables a unique and powerful portable gaming experience.
>still need a pc to play the games
Ayy lmao
>>319594889
The funny part is that the GPU I linked is by far the fastest AMD SoC out there.

In the video they show footage of DOTA 2, being played with a mouse. I'm gonna call bullshit on performance until I see these games running ON the chip.

With specs like that, they are guaranteed a huge loss.

I like where this is goingalso was there an estimated battery life, cause I don't want Nomad 2.0

stupid question inbound:
can't steam machines only play linux ported games like source stuff and some indies? can this even play anything that needs direct x?
>>319596572
5 hours
>>319591169
lemme guess, 2 hour battery life?
This will never kill Nintendo.
>inb4 fanboi
I honestly don't give a fuck. Nintendo has pokemon, mario and zelda. End of story.
>>319596890
uhm
>>319596572
In reality, it's pretty damn slow and those claims are theoretical at best. Do you want to play Witcher 2 at 10ish FPS on everything as low as it can go?
Also I'd take that "5 hours" with a mountain of salt, considering the TDP of that thing combined with the size of the battery

at best it will be a good emulator machine with all that button swapping bullshit

What a random number...

It's 900k euros, it just converts it in america
>>319600470
Yeah, I saw further up the thread after I made the post.
Thought it was a gag value.
>AMD
>>319594889
You realise that doesn’t change a damn thing about the fact the chip inside it is shit, right?

And which of those 13 configs is the SMACH Z using?
>>319597710
Vita only runs at like 400mhz. It's been severely downclocked.
Oh boy I can play 1k shovelware games on the go.
>>319596890
Not a stupid question, but so long as this thing runs SteamOS and not Windows, it will only be able to run games that have been ported to Linux - nothing that requires DirectX. So the majority of games are out.

P-portable Dark souls/ Dragon's dogma PC?
H-holy fuck...
>>319591169
Nothing will go wrong right??? ... r-right guys?
What a stupid fucking name. I guess they did learn something from Nintendo.
>>319601838
Besides the name there's nothing really wrong with it.
Ouya was DOA because
>Android
And trying to corner a shitty market that was already growing on Steam.
If it actually comes out I can't wait for the backlash when shitters realize it's mobile hardware.
>>319602569
Oh and I guess
>Steam OS
But I'm sure they'll have D1 windows swaps.
>>319591454
>>319602569
OUYA was DOA because of its shitty specs in a crowded market.
The SmachZ guys are outright lying about this device's performance metrics.
Guess what what means? Shitty specs in a crowded market.
Oh boy, I wonder how this will end.
Is it bigger than the vita?
The vita was really pushing it for a portable, it needs to be able to be stashed in a pants pocked or else it's not that portable
Probably not going anywhere, 976k goal huh?
>>319603395
At the very most, we'll get another emu machine that can also double as an indie machine as well.
Really, I welcome more of these because eventually we're going to get something as GOAT as the original DS.

>FAQ
>Q: What is the actual GPU being used?
>A: The GPU has 2GB of dedicated memory
time to panic?
>>319591169
Am I supposed to be able to understand what these eurofaggots are saying?
>>319602569
Ouya did things the wrong way around
instead of
>what if you could play all of your PC games on the go?
it was
>what if you could play all of your shitty phone games but tied to a wall socket and TV?
>>319591169
I thought Android runs steam native, and steam had an iOS port?
>checks
Yes. So damn near any smartphone can be a handheld steam machine.

Wow OP you're really going all out on the shilling of your shitty Kickstarter aren't you.
The specs are probably not enough to carry it
If I wanted a portable indie game machine, I'd just use a Vita
