Green Throttle: your smartphone can replace your games console

hexus.net: A new startup called Green Throttle Games (GTG) aims to turn any HDMI equipped Android device into a games console. Santa Clara, California based Green Throttle has announced that it has raised $6 million in funding and the backing of venture capitalists for its new idea and implementation. The company was co-founded by Charles Huang who was also co-creator of the Guitar Hero franchise.

Thank you but no thank you.

My phone can't even replace my handheld consoles so it has no chance of replacing my dedicated gaming consoles.

jon12344908d ago

my phone is for making phone calls and sending text message, with the occasional internet browsing and tethering to other devices, nothing more... nothing less

so, no it will not...

What a waste of money, why not spend it on something more worthwhile like making longer life batteries for phones?

The only way my phone could replace my console is if gaikai work awsome with it.

I'd like for the Vita to be like this. The all-in-one device. Have a game, decide I want to go somewhere, take it with me, then come home and dock it into a PS4, keep playing with better visuals.

As for my phone? Pass. Developers can't handle it and always want new tech. See crappy games that can't use a 3 month old phone because it "doesn't have enough power" really? And don't really need texts and calls interrupting my game either.

To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.

But all of the great games have been made by humans

One is by choice, the other is a feature.

Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.

It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.
