Why is gaming so dependent on IBM PC compatible hardware now?
Ultra-low-end business laptops from 2015 with a mobile Intel Core i3, 4 GB of RAM, and integrated graphics still have a dramatically better gaming experience than the Pixel 7 Pro. Why?
By the way, this is even with the help of emulators. Without emulators, gaming would outright be impossible for most people
The very robust selection and extreme amount of fine-tuning of emulators on that really old business laptop vs... all Android gets. The only Sega hardware that is emulated on Android is the Dreamcast. For Saturn and below, there is nothing. Even weak IBM PCs just have a very robust library of games that smartphones have stopped making attempts to catch up to.
Technically Dreamcast emulation is superior on Android over anything else... but you can easily run Android apps on an IBM PC.
I'm playing a game on a 1.5 year old Ipad and playing a 12 year old game on my pc. The 12 year old game still looks better. When I started playing that game on pc, I was playing on a 15 year old pc... That pc game still looks better than any mobile game that I've ever seen.
So yeah I'd stand by the statement that pc games will look better then mobile games. There's always more power in the PC.
