With the recent rumours that Google are developing an Android gaming platform, Joe Thomas takes a look at whether releasing a console would be a good idea for Google.
These new paid games, game trials and “buy once, play anywhere” pricing are coming to Play.
And, no, making video games with it is not the goal.
Next phase of its 'Living Games' concept involves the use of autonomous AI agents
Android is a great platform and I would love to see see what the money and power at Google could do for gaming.
Google can make what ever console they want doesnt mean I have to buy it.
Apple is the real Trojan horse or so to speak if a company would get into gaming but it wouldn't be the convientional way.
The release of an Apple TV or the actual TV they have been rumored to bring could be Apples way in.
I am Android all the way but i would never buy a console if it is just going to play the games that are released on PS4. What Google should do is make a video game development devision and make software for the next gen systems. With their budget and developer expertise they can make great engines and remarkable games.
