PGS Windows 10 gaming handheld - GPD WIN competitor


The video footage of the house is creepy, it feels like it is a viral ad or something, like the people involved in this are just making a movie and this was all part of their advertising. That thing will never come out, it is obviously not real.
 
Hm, maybe I should make outside videos of my house as well? Without snow though.
get someone else to video though, and have you working on the pyra inside... and heavy breathing with the camera-person...

then EvilDragon turns around, to look out the window, but the camera-person has hid behind a tree...

then the title appears:

TWO
MORE
MONTHS!!!

Skip the house. Not enough going on.

Set up a Pyra prototype on top of a tall end table on a sidewalk with something moving (train, highway, other) in the background.
Set up a WiFi camera pointed at the Pyra from about 3' away so that the motion is visible around it.
View the WiFi camera's signal from the Pyra while recording on the Pyra.

The resulting hall of mirrors effect on a Pyra screen inside of a Pyra screen is intentional.

Convert the whole thing to grey scale. Add some smooth jazz. Post it. We all go nuts analyzing every unintended detail.

Is it just me who finds that video reminds me of one of Craigx's videos - possible the 'falling off the roof' one?

Now you can't get much more freaky a reference for Pandora users.

FWIW, I don't have a vault account or even a google account that I'm actually logged into (or have logging in cookies for google) and was still able to view that video.
 
So maybe a burning car with all their PGSs will fall off the roof.

That is kinda fucked to say they want an independent team in Japan in addition to the Chinese team. What is the point of that other than advertising and a pathetic attempt to win more Japanese customers?

Have they shown a semifunctional prototype yet, or is it still too early for that? Maybe they will announce that it was all a big joke during E3, and they did some amazing investing with the funds and they will give backers triple the money they originally gave.

I would love to see ED make a series of advertising videos when/if he has free time. I already mentioned a retro video in another thread, and an Evil Dead (original, not remake) settle one would also be awesome. Maybe he knows someone with a cabin in the woods. This should have its own thread, or be appended to the other silly one we had going for a while that had movie posters.
 
Regardless of who is better at what, it kinda tells the original team that they aren't good enough in some way. I don't think I would want to be a part of either of those teams.
[doublepost=1493279915,1493279864][/doublepost]Oh, but I was thinking that they could have contacted Nintendo, but it is probably too late for that now.

Sounds more like they don't have any team at all anymore, hence the need to look for a new team. Of course, that's just pure speculation. :)
 
I think there quest for a Japanese developer might have something to do with getting Japanese certification which is needed to seel the PGSin Japan. GPD teamed up with a Japanese company to do the Japanese crowdfunding , certification and sell GPD WINs in Japan
 
Sorry I'm late on this, I just today looked at last couple updates PGS made on their blog, that were posted in this thread a few weeks ago.

This one part really stood out to me:

Our device is the world's first hybrid based on two SoCs of different architectures; it is able to provide unique gaming experience on both Windows and Android platforms.

I just love this, it shows again how incredibly clueless they are. I mean, just thinking about it..

- There have been devices that can run Windows and Android and there have even been ones with x86 + ARM SoCs back when the x86 SoCs had terrible power efficiency, like the Fujitsu LOOX F-07C
- It makes no sense whatsoever now when the Atom SoC they've specced can run Android fine and without terrible efficiency
- In addition to the second SoC they would need at the very least separate RAM and quite likely some other peripherals that are too hard to mux properly. Maybe also a separate PMIC. There'd be a huge increase in PCB footprint (on what's already very size sensitive) and cost for a feature probably nobody wants.
- The complexity of the entire thing goes through the roof on a project that's already too hard for them.

They keep showing they are more like daydreaming children than real engineers...
 
Do you still spend time thinking about an obvious scam attempt? You could be trolling the thread with insider's mem instead...
 
I remember people quizzing them at the time about the two SOCs. The reason they didn't go with just the Intel SOC, was so you don't have to reboot to get to Android and use the phone capabilites. Also, Android would be running at all times(even when your using Win 10) to monitor for calls which I believe was the other reason. RIP Battery Life I suppose

Who knows if they could have done that with just the Intel SOC.

If you count a few minutes after months of ignoring it then yes. What is this insider's mem you're talking about?
