Look little bit fishy
PCMR seems to be giving this thing a real backlash for some reason. https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/4qzzic/portable_console_that_plays_pc_games/
Do you have any 2 cents on what the hate is about Rocco?
Unfortunately the web give voice to everyone, clever and stupid people. The trend nowadays is to destroy everything just because behind a screen everything is possible. But for a guy like me and everyone here at hackinformer, just the concept is awesome, and just in case the project will be a failure in pc games, it will become a perfect emulation station with Windows as base os that support tons of emulators. So my answer is, the tech world is full of fanboys that need to have the product already there and working. Those people should know that a decent gaming pc has a productive cost of less than 150$ but companies have thought the market that a good product can’t be cheap. I bet those people with a Raspberry Pi in their hands are capable of throwing it and say “this shit is useless”.
I hope my point is clear
Yeah it is sad. I bet this thing can run Fable 1, something my very first computer just had the system requirements to do. As soon as I get the monz, I’ll totally buy this.
At least that thread had a very small amount of the community in it. I think the ironic thing is is the fact that this thing and the GPD Win are the perfect PCMR sidekicks for full on portable gaming seeing as this thing can most likely do DS and when the emulator is at a playable state, 3DS emulation and would be better for it than the GPD Win.
