*Important suggestion!* Planetary Annihilation for tablets

Re: *Important suggestion!* Planetary Annihilation for table

Even better then, I was probably looking at the stats for an already outdated tablet. I don't really keep up with them as I don't use them.

Re: *Important suggestion!* Planetary Annihilation for table

It's possible

Re: *Important suggestion!* Planetary Annihilation for table

I believe you may be talking about apple's ipad, I just got the nexus 10, and I'm very impressed by it's capabilities, that's why I started this topic

Re: *Important suggestion!* Planetary Annihilation for table

Well, a X86 Windows 8 tablet will be able to run it :mrgreen:

Re: *Important suggestion!* Planetary Annihilation for table

Interesting, given that the interface will be web based and you can open multiple windows, maybe there could be a window with no 3D graphical components that you could open on your tablet?

I believe there was talk about multiple people being able to command the same army, in a kind of tag-team/hand-over arrangement. Perhaps this could allow connections from multiple devices to the same army? Then you could have the non-graphical extra information window on any additional device, be it tablet, phone or laptop...

Anyone else think this would be worthwhile?

Any chance of a developer comment on the likelihood or such a development...?

Re: *Important suggestion!* Planetary Annihilation for table

I think you misunderstood something about the "web based GUI". Without the 3D-part, only the static parts of the GUI can be shown, that means status bars and dialogs. You lack any information about ingame entities like units etc. You don't even have the strategic icons from strategic zoom. Anything which could possibly be moving can't / won't be part of the website.

And since a lot of people still want to compare a tablet to a modern PC graphic card: Forget about it. Even Intel integrated graphic cards are a LOT faster than the fastest GPUs you can find in tablets. Compared to todays highend graphic cards, they are about 1.000-10.000 times slower!!!

So how do they manage to produce fluent frame rates at 1080p and more? Simple, limited details. No fog, no particle systems, low resolution textures, low polygon models. Oh, and the lack of complex shaders, this includes refraction when looking though a water surface, reflections and alike.

Re: *Important suggestion!* Planetary Annihilation for table

No kidding, the Haswell's built in GPU is supposedly better than some stand-alone video cards at some things.

Re: *Important suggestion!* Planetary Annihilation for table

Yeah the future is kind of nice; tablets, smart phones, game consoles, and good old desktop PCs are all really just weird little PCs nowadays.

Really your tablet is just a low spec computer, with an odd OS, a strange screen resolution, a slightly more robust mouse like interface, and no keyboard (unless you plug in a USB keyboard, but then you will look like a weirdo while playing PA on the bus).

Re: *Important suggestion!* Planetary Annihilation for table

zI'm waiting until you can control video games directly with the mind, so my strategy gaming performance won't be limited by the speed at which I can click.

Re: *Important suggestion!* Planetary Annihilation for table

Already possible to some extent:

Re: *Important suggestion!* Planetary Annihilation for table

:shock: What the hell? Have anyone here bought that thing? I want to know if it works somewhat or if its just a scam.

Re: *Important suggestion!* Planetary Annihilation for table

nice

I'm Necro-ing this thread

Confirmed --- Game runs on Windows 8 64bit tablets
Playing on an Acer Iconia W700, Intel i5 3317u 1.7ghz cpu (2.6ghz turbo), 4gb ram, Intel HD 4000.
In theory it should run on Microsoft's Surface Pro (same specs as this tablet).
and on the Surface 2.

Mod or post release.

If you could run in it on a Linux OS that is good for 'cluster' style home made super computers like say yellowtale Linux (Is that correct?) Running on old playstations, graphics cards or raspberry pies someone could have some fun times too. Lol.

Screen shots or it didn't happen.

My screenshot button broke

Also the most important platform was missed!!!!
When's PA for the Atari 2600 being released???
I want Pixelated Annihilation

*Mind games*

no.
this idea is halted by min requirements. you tablet must be at least:

dual core 2.0Ghz
4 gigs of ram (good luck with that one)
intel HD 2000

technically a PC.

also all the screenshot of me playing on the Acer tab are in the Frame rate how to thread in the beta Forum (you can't miss the thread its sticky)
and in my performance booster thread
and it runs fairly good with out my mod, even while the games in its Beta un-optimized state

Tablets are just starting to be touch screen pc.
You can get docking stations for them to use our like a desktop/laptop.
But it is not main stream or common that people have that setup but I think that's going to eventually.
So for now if I was making PA I would wait and see what happens before providing suport
