Technically anything that is a computer can be a gaming device. We have iPod games, iPhone games, Windows phone 7, PS1, PS2, PS3, xbox, xbox 360, nintendo, Macintosh devices, computers, ect. can all be used as gaming devices because all a game simply is a code run on the computer device. Obviously a game isn't simple to make but is really just a string of codes used to make it. Oh well as long as a player feels the game is playable then the player will play it. Not our fault you feel an over sized iPod touch isn't a game device.
He's obviously not talking about it technically. I think he just feels like most do, that the controls on the iPad are terribad.I feel the controls on the 360 are terribad .... Doesn't mean it isn't a gaming device. Now does it? ....
well, singling out the "controls" on an iPad is a bit crazy. It's a new consideration for game developers - mobile gaming on a touch screen. I think there is a lot of potential there. Sure, it isn't going to be the same as holding a controller with 17 buttons, but that doesn't mean it's inherently "bad". It just is a different sort of interface for gaming.
I think that in the case of Crimson, the controls are intuitive and are good.
You don't need a massive controller to play the game.
You also don't need a controller or more buttons than fingers to have a good gaming experience.
