Poor PC... It's so sad...

by **Hellblade** Tue Apr 13 2010, 06:07

It makes itself happier by playing lots of GAMES xD

by **Support** Tue Apr 13 2010, 10:07

What if the iPad plays all the games instead Shocked

by **AMV_Ph34r** Tue Apr 13 2010, 18:05

PCs play better games. I haven't seen Left4Dead or Portal on the iPad, so I'm not satisfied...

by **Hellblade** Wed Apr 14 2010, 04:44

Exactly!
PC has the gamers Very Happy

Apparently Steam is coming to the iPad.

by **Hellblade** Wed Apr 14 2010, 20:06

The iPad doesn't have the same hardware as a PC Wink

by **Support** Thu Apr 15 2010, 04:08

So. steam is still apparently coming to the iPad.

A laptop doesn't have the same hardware as a desktop but it works on both Laughing

by **Hellblade** Thu Apr 15 2010, 04:47

I ment for game playing wise Razz

The iPad may get Steam, but it still won't have the same types of games and stuff as the PC. I'm not saying the games would be worse...you know what I mean...don't you? xD AMV might...

by **Support** Sat Apr 17 2010, 04:28

It probably will have the same type of games Wink

by **AMV_Ph34r** Wed Apr 21 2010, 15:45

No, no, no. Steam's coming to Macs. It will be quite some time before iPads (or their future equivalents) have the hardware that can support most Steam games.

by **Support** Wed Apr 21 2010, 18:53

Seriously I think the iPad can cope, a lot of games on the appstore are epically amazing and awesome graphics Smile

by **AMV_Ph34r** Wed Apr 21 2010, 18:55

Yeah, the graphics are good, but they're still lightweight games. They don't require much processor power or RAM.

by **Support** Wed Apr 21 2010, 18:58

Macs usually have less ram and processor speeds but still run better by at least 50%

iPads processor is over double the iPhone and over 4 times a PSP and over 8 times the DS.

iPads ram is 4 times the PSP.

Most of the iPad games are much more "fuller" than iPhone games if you purchase the iPad games rather than blowing up a iPhone game.

by **AMV_Ph34r** Wed Apr 21 2010, 19:02

I realize that, but in it's current state, the iPad can't handle newer games like Fallout 3 or Bioshock 2. Even if it runs more efficiently than the iPhone, PSP, or DS, it still doesn't have the physical ability to play such heavy games. I have seen examples where a game is rendered in the cloud, and the video is streamed to the iPad, but the iPad itself can't handle full games like that.

by **Support** Thu Apr 22 2010, 03:01

I bet it can Wink

by **Hellblade** Thu Apr 22 2010, 04:50

The iPad has a 1ghz processor, my computer is 8 years old and has a 1.5ghz processor and that's no where near what is needed for heavy games.
The iPad also only has 256mb RAM, that's no where near what is needed for heavy games. (But, the iPad isn't far off my computer's specs Sad

the 64GB one is bigger then my HDD..)

And just because graphics look good, it doesn't neccesiarly mean it needs high requirements..........

by **AMV_Ph34r** Mon Apr 26 2010, 20:21

There ya have it. If Hellblade's computer can play Unreal Tournament 3, then so can the iPad. But I don't think that's gonna happen any way other than streaming video to it.

by **Support** Tue Apr 27 2010, 15:11

I want some more FPS for iPad, I want at least 10 by the time I get it, I think their are amount 4 at the moment.

One looks like Halo Very Happy

As long as their is a Halo alternative and a mario kart alternative and taptap I am happy!

(shrek kart for iPad looks awesome!)

by **AMV_Ph34r** Tue Apr 27 2010, 19:13

Ehh... I'm not a fan of the iPad's TapTap. Radiation is the name, if I'm not mistaken. But it's only 1-player, and it doesn't have the feel of the other TapTap games. It's just too different and weird.

by **Lonewolf** Tue Apr 27 2010, 20:57

eh.. most people here know i have a disliking towards Apple. they just over price EVERYTHING. lol. i'm not payin 30 bucks for your sh*tty headphones. not when i can buy some $20 JVC marshmallows and have 10x's the quality. anyway, the Ipad isn't a bad idea, i believe that they should have made a new OS for it. or integrated OSX somehow. i get that they try to make stuff simple by keeping it the same. Apple products aren't bad, just overpriced, and they are all getting a little samey. IMHO

the Wolf has spoken

Yes! Someone else who understands! We shall rise up against the Macheads, and overpower them with our ability to actually customize our computers!

by **Hellblade** Wed Apr 28 2010, 00:12

They are higher priced because they have created a niche market or something like that....so they don't really have any competition so don't have to lower their prices......kind of....

Like I said somewhere before, the iPad is more expensive (or near the same price) then NetBooks, which has higher specs then my computer Razz

(Although, my processor is better I think, Pentium 4 is better then Pentium Atom I think..)

by **AMV_Ph34r** Wed Apr 28 2010, 05:57

Not to get off topic, but

Hellblade wrote:(...Pentium 4 is better then Pentium Atom I think...)

Depends. Pentium 4s are really inefficient, and heat up really quickly. Atoms are better for Netbooks. Though in a normal desktop computer, an Atom just won't cut it.
