I wouldn't count on it. I have a low key laptop and it runs laggy on it. If anything, a very expensive Windows could handle it. But not iPhones or Android.

Stopped Windows phones? I didn't hear that. Doesn't HTC make them anymore? They usually had the best ones. I almost bought one once, then I came to my senses.

WOW, I just googled windows phone and it says steam is ported to windows phone. So I guess you can play it on your phone no problem. You run it on your PC and take control with the phone as it is mirrored to it through the display. This way your PC executes the code and it gets displayed on your phone and controlled by your phone.

I did this with my tablet once, just to test it out. This game is not touch screen friendly. I was able to play it a little bit, but it is challenging.

... Wow I cannot even express in words how dumb this is lol. You have to be drunk or something. I have been browsing forums since 2001 or so and have never once that I remember seen someone reply to their own post in such a way answering their own question LMAO. Thanks for the laugh though it was needed!

Yeah, I went to replace my HTC 8x (I think, maybe another model) because it was 3 years old and it wasn't reading any SIM cards right. The guy there said that the last major Windows phone was a complete screw up and every major carrier refused to sell any. Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile don't sell them anymore. Now I'm stuck with some Galaxy thing. :execution:

The Galaxy is a really good phone.

Nope! No smartphone meets the minimum specs and the game is designed to be played on a desktop with tactile input sources other than your fingertips.

I meant Nokia, not HTC. MS flagship phones are through them. Much like Google uses Nexus for their reference designs. Although there are reports Google will make their own this year.

I know Windows phone are losing market share every day. But they are still for sale. Steam has released an app for it, so I don't see MS giving up just yet. They've got deep pockets.

Intel is taking a huge hit for not getting into the smartphone market. Nvidia is turning their GP-GPUs into smartphone chips. AMD has released the first 64-bit smartphone chip. Not sure anyone is using it yet.

The smartphone doesn't need to meet the system requirements. as I said, the PC does all the work and uses the smartphone as a display.

This is what they do with the VR sets out now. They use the smartphone in the headset as a VR 3D display, then they run the game on the PC and uses the smartphone as the display.

All they need is the steam app on the smartphone. It just needs to support the Steam Stream technology. I'm sure you can find some Bluetooth devices on your smartphone to allow you to play.

I didn't see anything on steam Stream support yet. I'm sure it will follow soon to compete with VR sets.

He said a PORT, not a choppy stream from your PC.
