Although
we’re only just one month into the new year, there’s already a
massive amount of speculation over what cool new gadgets we’ll be
enjoying in 2017.
The
world’s console manufacturers will be looking to give us better
gaming options than ever with the recently launched Sony PlayStation
Pro providing the most powerful console currently on the market.
Although
for sheer firepower, it’s probably the hugely exciting Xbox Scorpio
that will take us into the next level of gaming. This powerful
machine looks to deliver us into a realm of full 4K gaming with VR
compatibility and an incredible six teraflop GPU to give us the most
immersive gaming platform yet.
But
since mobile gaming has become increasingly popular, smartphone
manufacturers have been keeping us fascinated with some of their
latest developments. We’ve already commented on rumours that the
Samsung Galaxy S8 will have 6GB of memory, but there are plenty of
other mobile options to look forward to.
In
particular it’s the rumours surrounding the iPhone 8 that are
getting us most excited as it will include a stunning OLED display
and a powerful A11 chip will mean that it will be able to handle even
the most data-intensive gaming titles.
However,
it’s worth bearing in mind that there are some alternative gaming
devices that will keep us busy in 2017. Whilst the likes of Razer
have yet to unveil their plans for smartphone gaming, we’ve been
interested to see how the new Nvidia Shield Pro is offering a new way
for people to keep entertained.
Whilst
much of specs of the set-top box are the same as was offered in the
previous model, it does include a great new controller - often the
downside of any TV box gaming solution. Furthermore, the device
provides seamless 4K and HDR playback as well as access to the
GeForce Now gaming library.
But
you can always rely on Nintendo to shake things up, and that’s
exactly what they’re planning to do with their Nintendo Switch
console. This reveals that famous Nintendo-style ‘blue-sky
thinking’ to great effect as the device is actually a hybrid
between a handheld device and a standard console that can be plugged
into a display. But with many gamers still in thrall to simple and classic games like blackjack that can be found at CasinoEuro, there
is still a question over whether most gamers will need dual-function
devices and immense teraflops of gaming power.
All
of which shows that despite the wide range of gadgets that are out
there, sometimes its the simplest offerings that keep us most
entertained!
