Kind of expected IMO but still some may find this new. The A11 especially seems a monster in the palm of your hand.

Nice! Crazy how small form factors have gotten with that performance.

Is there any technological reason to not port PS4/XO on Apple TV any more?

but can it play the new Mario/Zelda? Checkmate.

They said the 360/PS3. They were released like 12 years ago.

So Sky in 4K? I'd buy an Apple TV for it.

Too bad about the app size limit and lack of SD Card slots.

Hexa · Sep 14, 2017

Did they get rid of the requirement that all games have to be playable with the Siri remote? Get rid of that requirement and release an official controller along with a dock/controller case and I think that Apple could have a reasonable chance of entering the console industry on the side.

rolandss · Sep 14, 2017

The AR demo at the iPhone (and iPad Pro a couple months ago) reveals looked really impressive. Mobile power is coming a long way. But tbh, the PS3 and 360 are over 10 years old so I'm no surprised either.

All Apple TV games are required to be playable with the Siri remote (a requirement which from what I can tell isn't changing). This is the Siri remote.

That is absolutely a waste.

More major third party games are going to come to the Switch than the Apple TV. Because none of this shit actually matters.

BigEmil · Sep 14, 2017

A chip in a Apple TV though lol, pretty good

Aleh · Sep 14, 2017

Well consider that the A11 matches a MacBook Pro 13" released in 2017...

Anyways Is the Siri still being mandatory? Thats the only thing really holding it back

To be fair, iPhone 7/AppleTV/iPad Pro trounces the PS4 and XBO in CPU performance (but even the 8/X falls short in GPU).

Jigolo · Sep 14, 2017

Apple ARM SoCs are crazy

trixx · Sep 14, 2017

holy crap that's pretty crazy, could really be a new serious platform

LCGeek · Sep 14, 2017

Shame it has to deal with an apple os and apis.

Overhead and bloat plus no one being there to push that power is why this news don't mean much to me.

Better be because the chips in those is made before 2013

What? The OS affects nothing and the Metal API is similar to Vulkan API so hardly any overhead and 'bloat'

FantasticMrFoxdie · Sep 14, 2017

Yeah but can it play Mario or Uncharted or Halo???????

...oh

Oh, like you can say we're wrong. Mobile/"smart device" gaming is a mountain of shit with a bunch of gems buried in it - the entire ecosystem is fucked beyond repair.

Garou said:

I'm honestly surprised they did change that, but let's be honest, what effect has that actually had when it comes to devs developing for it? Apple TV is not gonna be anything more than a niche device as far as gaming is concerned.

Gaogaogao · Sep 14, 2017

I wonder when apple will act like they actually care, and games arnt just a neat sidepiece

Garou said:

still 'crippled by the siri remote' if the controller isnt made by apple

If Sony couldn't do it, the micro console still has ways to go before it can replace a home console.

petethepanda · Sep 14, 2017

I'm sure there will continue to be the occasional good game for the platform but until they get serious and make an official controller it still won't mean anything.

The Apple TV's App Store, gaming and otherwise, has been a tremendous letdown so far.

LCGeek · Sep 14, 2017

GearFourth said:

An OS matters for plenty of reasons, and the bloat I was referring to is in that not the API.

Of the the the big 4 OS being used by consoles or by pc gamers apple is the worst and yes the bloat does matter if it eat's the performance of otherwise good hardware. Has the weakest cpu scheduler as well.

That's a far cry from nothing.

the pstv was only a *partial* solution to a problem sony created by not adding HDMI out to the vita. thats it.

Severianb · Sep 14, 2017

Fake News.

The thermal limits and real world performance of this can't match any of those game consoles. The chip just isn't made for gaming.
