If you told me that 20 years ago I would have said “goo goo gaa gaa”.
What device is this?
If you told me 20 years ago I’d still be playing Age of Empires 2, I would have been deeply disturbed. I always assumed I’d grow up and be a “real” adult before 30. It probably would have made me lose interest in gaming thinking I was going to be a loser if I didn’t quit.
I… think my office may have had an Xbox in the breakroom 20 years ago.
Eh portable gaming systems seemed to be accelerating in power quite a bit 20 years ago. We were getting almost PS2-like quality on the PSP. It was inevitable 🙂
Couple of years ago played RDR2 on my iPad at the airport while waiting for my delayed flight.
That was awesome.
Correct Halo, too
20 years ago, kids at my school were playing Halo on their school laptops on their lunch breaks. Not the full version though, they just played the free Halo CE demo loaded up on usb drives and played Blood Gulch multiplayer.
Tbh, it’s the sole reason why I thought about getting the ROG Ally
You won’t be playing it in a million years, so your 2004 self would have been correct.
Technology is so awesome.
Halo launched on PC in 2003, so you could have literally played Halo on your lunch break on a laptop, 21 years ago.
What is that thing
Whats the red symbol beside the shield/health??
Ba ba ba bummmm
20 years ago it was 2004. One year later we had the PSP, and it was quite good for it’s time. Not HALO good, but still pretty good.
If you told me we’d be playing GTA on a small portable console, lighter than today’s phones, i’d would be more surprised than with a FPS (halo or not).
That is incredible indeed! Recently I saw that warframe is for iOS and had to take a look. Its incredible on how even if the quality is obviously not 100% like on PC its like 80% there though.
The settings took some time to get used to before linking my PC account but was a wonderful experience overall 🙂 highly recommend you give it a go if you have an iphone. Also i heard Death Stranding is also there too but have never played it so not sure about it. It looks cool though and I appreciate artistic endeavours like that from Hideo Kojima.
You’ll be suprised that you can run way more modern games too 😉
I think I would’ve said “maybe in 20 years or so.”
You couldn’t fathom that there would be a way to play a video game during a lunch break? I mean.. people have been doing that since video games were invented. It’s not like lunch is a magical time where video games didn’t used to work. Even without modern portable devices, TVs still existed and consoles could be plugged into them and played during lunch breaks…
I mean 20 years ago I was playing halo on my IBM T40 in class. Back then GPUs were tiny and most good laptops could handle most games.
*I need a weapon*
what did you get? i’ve been looking at the steam deck.
For me it was running Half-Life 2 on my SteamDeck while laying in bed…insane.
We live in an amazing time as gamers.
20 year ago if you told me I wouldn’t be playing half life 3 in the future, I’d say never in a million years!
If you told me that 20 years ago I would have said ” “
That’s what’s so cool about handheld gaming, though I don’t use handhelds much myself. Handheld gaming is such a personal and immersive experience already, being able to do it with console games is just incredible.
I was playing Halo on my PSP soooo
