And yes a phone that can have net on it. and could it be that a freelancer download thing could be in the net so you could link to that then use a continuance link of data so you could play? like I doubt that a phone could take all of freelancer in it so why not keep downloading it kinda onto the phone each second?

We heard you liked real-time streams. But then we also heard that you liked your phone displaying extremely laggy content.

For a phone, there is not nearly enough resources for that, there is not nearly enough keys to control everything needed for freelancer as well.

Perhaps it could send and receive if you set it up right, and MAYBE the arm-processor can run it, but again. Lag. Everywhere. Delay. Everywhere.

Not worth it. Would be nice.

Or perhaps im just too tired and typing in everything wrong. Who knows.

May not be enough resources yet, but give phones a few more years...


As for controls, if you could somehow map flying controls to the tilt axis of your phone, like some iPhone games, it could be possible.

Leaned forward slightly is forward, leaned backwards slightly is brake, leaned left and right is steer left and right, leaned forwards to an extreme level is engage cruise, leaned backwards to an extreme is reverse, leaned left and right to an extreme is strafing.

It could work.

Androids could easily run freelancer.

Install a remote desktop app and figure it out yourself?

No, because then I'll never get anything done.
It's bad enough I can access the forums on my phone.

No, that would be bordering a very unhealthy obsession.

Give it a few months. Problem is mainly the power needed to run a 3D app, a phone battery couldn't handle it for any period of time.

Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.

My phone has 1GB RAM and a dual 1.5ghz processor.

With a bit of know-how, I honestly probably could.

Such a nice phone. I got it in black.

Had a smartphone with 3D games in mind (Xperia play. Not that great as a phone. Amazing alarm clock though.) Could run 3D games for about three hours before needing a charge. It's possible.

The biggest problem would be controlling a ship in freelancer, especially on a sceen that small.

Now a TABLET...

Great! I can't wait to work on my PvP skills using touch controls on a screen half the size of my hand.
