The MMO War Thunder is set to arrive on the Nvidia Shield Tablet soon. The special thing is: According to the developer, it will be almost the same version as on PC or consoles.
In a conversation with Shacknews, Alexander Trifonov, a developer at Gaijin, discusses the planned port of War Thunder to the Nvidia Shield Tablet. Essentially, it will be the same version. You can simply continue playing on the go with your existing PC account. You will even fly together with all Linux, PS4, Mac, and PC players on the same server.
Ten years ago we were still in the Stone Age
Trifonov described the development in the mobile sector as fantastic. If you go back ten years, you would find that we were in the Stone Age compared to today: “Who would have thought just a few years ago that you could play such complex and beautiful games like War Thunder on a device that fits in your pocket?”
Tablet players would only have to make a few sacrifices: The simulation mode will be omitted, as it probably requires a keyboard to operate. And there will be no cockpit mode, as a view from the cockpit would not be advantageous on a small display.
Tablet and VR glasses, War Thunder takes unusual paths
War Thunder is not only taking new paths with the tablet, but has also embraced the virtual reality idea at Gaijin. In the fight against the competitor World of Tanks, which is significantly larger, they seem to be focusing on innovative ideas.
There is no release date for War Thunder on the Nvidia Shield Tablet yet. We have addressed the topic of Tablets and MMOs in this article.
