I was thinking on how tablets have become popular
devices
in today culture, and I was thinking on how tablets could
revolutionize gaming, offering bot the advantages of
handheld game systems and home consoles, the tablet
would have a built in gamepad (or could be attachable
instead), you
would be able to play console quality games
on the go, and when you get home you can attach the
tablet to a dock and play with a gamepad remotely, and
the dock would have an AC adapter to power and charge
the tablet, you would also be able to plug the tablet to a
TV
and play it as a home console, you could also play a
games
where the TV shows the game and the tablet screen
shows
items and maps, it could also have features like
cameras and NFC reader.
This could also be a good social gaming system, you
would
be able to have local multiplayer when using it as a home
console, you would be able to play games around a table,
like you could play a local multiplayer wrestling game ,
Bomber Man and board games in the center of a table
with
wireless, and bring the tablet and gamepads anywhere
for
a home console experience without too much hassle, the
tablet could bring triple A gaming experience on the go,
since the device would feature a big screen and good
processing power.
And there have actually being gaming tablets with built
in
gamepads, but the potential hasn't been exploited yet,
someone could make a tablet that has console quality
games and could compete with handheld game systems
and
home consoles.

The idea here being that one could play games on a tablet? I bet there would be money in that. |
|

I just read an article that said that tablets are terrible for controlling
TV games. Players have to keep looking down at the tablet, instead
of being able to feel buttons on a controller, apparently. |
|
| |
Which indicates that it has been tried. And it seems kinda obvious. |
|
| |
As for tablet games, I am using a tablet right now, and I can't be
bothered to put any games on it. The ones that I try just feel wrong. |

(Now, you make a multi-button hand-held dock, and I will give it a
whirl.) |
