What do you think of the PGS? Can it beat the Vita or the 3DS?

No.
Why are you shilling your own Kickstarter on fucking /v/ of all places?
>portable console
Isn't it an oxymoron? If it has its own screen and you don't hook it up to a TV/monitor, can it even be called a console?
>This thing was actually funded
Jesus Christ, a fool and his money are so easily fucking parted.
Can it even run anything other than shitty emulators or old games from 2006?
>>343874138
>you don't even need to take it out of your pocket
Are they gonna pay the ER bill when this thing burns the living fuck out of my leg?
Who's idea was it to put Windows on a 6" display?

NOOOOOOOOOOPE
I'll just get an nvidia shield, tf??
>>343874335
I'm not a shill, retard.
>>343874918
Sounds like something a shill would say.
>A serious company using Macs from 2008
l-lol?
OS X is really efficient but older Macs get obsolete REALLY fast.
Could you even pimp out those white iMacs back then?
>>343874993
What do you want me to do, you dumb nigger?
>>343875205
To stop making these threads, you fucking shill.
I see this shit every day, around the same time, with pretty much the same OP, same filename for the image.
Come off it already.
LOL
>>343875179
Weirdly enough, the same guy using that decade-old iMac is also using a modern Surface.
Maybe he's just got a thing for that era of Apple. Can't blame him, they've been for a while now.

So amazing!

I can't wait to experience that silky smooth45 minute battery life
If it's near 3ds price I'd pick it up to emulate a ton of shit and be a semi decent shitposting device but it's probably not under 500 burgers
looks like a massive scam
>>343875408
To be honest, I don't mind 30fps because I'm not a demanding guy.
But Medium-Graphics 720p after that "this is the ninth wonder of the world" Kickstarter video?
PeeCee Gaymers are going to destroy this company when the damn thing comes out.
Also this guy looks like a fag and the voice over was so obvious it was painful. He can't look good and talk to a camera at the same time apparently.
Waiting for the imminent failure.
This isn't new, tons of these mini PCs have popped up in the past decade
Just get an nvidia shield.
>>343875892
Why hell is this guy trying to use a Kickstarter video to kickstart his modelling career? He's not even very good looking, just clearly a very arrogant and vain asshole.
>that lighting
>that hair and makeup
>that contrast and grading
>that expression
Christ man, it's laughable.
>>343876308
>He's not even very good looking
I beg to differ. He looks gay and girls love gay looking guys. He probably fucks bitches six times a week.
A real man is supposed to be ugly and strong, yet females seem to be more attracted to feminine guys.
I guess it was true that all women are lesbians inside.
>>343875408
Can't wait for the silky smooth 5 fps when you try to run a game from 2016 on it.
>>343874138
Has a single one of these things even come out yet? I see so many of these on kickstarter and elsewhere and I've yet to see one actually come out.
Also I saw some problems right away
>intel HD graphics
Shitting fucking dick nipples good luck playing jack shit nothing
>Dark Souls 2, not SotFS
>27-33fps on medium
Fucking kek, that game is the most toaster friendly 3D game I've played. If you can't even play that right you know you've fucked up.
This is basically a portable toaster, which I'm kinda skeptical about. You're limiting what you can play to last gen games and 2D indie shit.I'd buy one to play Phantom Breaker and convince myself I didn't make a huge mistake in not buying it on the Vita.

Additional questions:
If this is the size of a phone that's actually pretty cool. However, I notice the joysticks stick out like the Vita's proper joysticks, yet the picture also shows the screen can slide over the controls and sit flush with the bottom half like a phone. What the fuck happened to the analogue sticks then? Do you remove them? Do they retract into the device? How is the top screen connected anyway? How sturdy or flimsy is that connection? Those battery life estimations seem suss too.
Basically, if this was essentially an Xperia Play 2 running windows and capable of at least playing toaster level games, it might be cool. A phone that also has a slide out controller and at the very least can emulate shit. What they're advertising though, seems kinda suss. Like, I question whether they actually thought through everything on display.
>>343876580
>>343875408
Do you really need anything above low settings on a 6 inch screen?
>>343877606
> Do they retract into the device?
That's my guess, the spec sheet describes them as "telescopic analog sticks".
>>343877851
The resolution on the high-end model is 1440p. The notion of Intel integrated graphics pushing *anything* at that resolution is laughable.
>>343875408
>dark souls 2 unable to run at 32048204fps
That game runs on my drawing of a computer better than this thing
>>343878013
If the analogue sticks retract, what's to stop them from retracting while you're playing because you pressed them a bit too hard?
Also what the hell is the point of 1440p when the screen is so small anyway? Just limit the resolution to 1080p or 720p and let the games run at an acceptable framerate.
The fuck?
>>343878289
>Also what the hell is the point of 1440p when the screen is so small anyway?
I assume this is to appeal to idiots and weird graphicsfags to get their shekels and then the kickstarter goes dead and people realize they were scammed.
>>343878289
>Also what the hell is the point of 1440p when the screen is so small anyway?
Well it's not actually that crazy, there are phones with smaller displays that are running the same resolution.
The difference is that they're not dual-booting windows and trying to run PC games.
>>343878503
I don't feel like pulling up the announcement, but MS did say they were working on letting XB1 games stream to Windows 10 PCs a few months ago.
Actually this thread reminded me, is a Nvidia shield portable worth getting? Do i have to pay for game streaming if i want to play on the go?
>>343874138
That many people pledging 260 dollars or more. Do people just like throwing money away??
>>343878970
I can't vouch for the game streaming since I've never tried it, but it's pretty nice. I haven't done anything amazingly tasking on it, but it handles everything nicely.
Only complaint I have about it is it's a fingerprint magnet since it has inwardly beveled buttons and kinda heavy, so it strains your wrists if you use it a lot/hold it kinda close. Also the default shield plate it comes with scratches like a motherfucker, but that part of it is 100% useless anyway.
>>343878529
Well phones are like that because it's just an arms race and companies will up any number to give a reason for people to buy a new one no matter how stupid it is. They're now trying to push for 4k on these tiny ass screens even if it's absolutely useless and retarded.
>>343878970
I borrowed a friends shield for a long holiday, was delightful. Great little emulation machine.
I am holding out/praying for a refresh/update to it since it's so old before I buy one. Not sure how likely that is, but maybe one day!
>>343878503
You can remote play xbox one games on windows 10. This device supports windows 10.
>>343879416
Hard to say one way or the other, nvidia's been weirdly persistent about their shield stuff.
>>343879576
It's the fact that they said Xbone instead of Xbox
Not professional at all
>>343881312
Never mind I'm retarded
The analog sticks are so akward placed.
Didn't they learn anything from PSP?

>>343879407
Its not useless or retarded to have a 4k screen on a small device, there's actually a good reason. A 2160p screen is the lowest resolution that can support 1080p apps, 720p apps, and 540p apps without needing an odd scaling factor.
Plus from a manufacturing perspective it makes sense to make the pixels as small as possible because then if you have a defect that prevents the panel from passing QA as 4k due to dead pixels you can lock it to 1080p or 720p because then you'll only have partial dead pixels which won't be as noticeable since you'll have 4 or 9 pixels all functioning as one.
>>343874918
Calling other people retard.....God some people have no fucking self awareness. Look at the specs of that thing, do you seriously think that processor is capable of anything besides basic emulation?
