Copy the format of windows?

[getrekt]

Games should be good and interesting like they are on windows and should run better on better hardware and not run on cheaper one

Adreno 330 - 130 gflops

Adreno 305 - 25 gflops

If you have better hardware then you should have an edge over other cheaper hardware

Eg -

GT 740 doesn't run all games at 1080p but a GTX 980 does

Why not the same concept on mobile?

Adding more description here would go a long way. (not everyone looks at the subforum so this has absolutely no context)

 

I don't think mobile developers want some devices to run things and others not. They want a one size fits all environment.

I'm also sure that there are some games that low-spec devices can't run(well). There's just a limit to how "interesting" a mobile game can get on a tiny screen. I doubt you will find many non-casual games.

Not true. A GT740 can RUN the game, just not well. Just like a GTX 980 can RUN most games at that resolution, but I bet it would struggle at 32xAA in some games.

Okay thanks il edit it next time

But when you pay for better hardware you should have an upper hand right?

They do run better, it's not like it's the same in all devices. In mobile games there are titles more demanding than others, and better hardware does make the difference.

Take for example Hearthstone for android, which was recently released, on my friend's Galaxy S2 it's sluggish, my other friend with an S3 does run it a bit better, finally, my brother's LG G3 runs it significantly better, it's a pretty good experience on it.

Just compare older phones with the popular game titles; even Angry Birds shows differences on new and old hardware!

Most mobile games are developed in a way different devices don't create a huge breach on the user experience, so maybe that's why you don't notice it too much; until you compare it with older devices, or demanding titles.

I don't think that's the right way of putting it. All you're saying is that people with crappy devices should not be able to play some games because there are people who want to spend £800 on a slab that's main purpose is to send calls and texts. (ever heard of a "gaming phone?")

 

Mobile game devs want to target all mobile users on a certain platform. They're not going to get sales if they limit it.

 

Someone buying a GT470 isn't going to even try to play AAA titles at 1080p, if they wanted to then they would have bought a better card. They probably din't buy it with the intention of gaming. But it's not going to stop them playing minesweeper or minecraft.

 

Unless what you're saying is that you should be able to plug a keyboard and mouse in and play the latest "call of duty" on your phone.

 

Basically what i'm saying is that I dont think there's much of a market for non-casual games on phones. But what do I know? Porbably best waiting for someone who actually cares about games on phones.
