Reader Discussion: Do You Prefer Console Or Handheld?
As technology moves forward, the gap between handheld and console gaming is getting smaller. Which one do you prefer?
Obviously, some experiences will only be available on console, and those are great, but on the occasion where the two versions of a game are similar, which has your preference? In those occasions, I tend to prefer handheld. Games like Guacamelee and Sound Shapes I played on Vita, and I've been waiting to play Axiom Verge on on Vita, though it did mean I wasn't able to play it this year. The same can be said for this year's You Must Build a Boat. There was no way I was playing that game anywhere but my iPhone.
What about you? Will you always take a giant screen over portability? Let us know in the comments below.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
