sampglov1987 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I am just putting this question out there. How long do you think it will be before we can truly migrate a Mac/PC game onto an iPad. My dream scenario would be having FM compatible on both and being able to wirelessly transfer saves from one device to another. It would be amazing if I could play a game, then just send it to my iPad before I go to work and continue the save there. And vice-versa. I know we have FM on the iPad, but its a bit too basic for me and this in turn means I can't have the same save on both devices. What are your thoughts on being able to seamlessly switch from one device to another on the same save? Do you think it will ever happen/be possible. It would be good to get an idea of what SI have in store and whether it is possible to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 The iPad doesn't really have the resources to play FM as it is. Maybe a few iPads down the line will be at the stage that it can play FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

abfielder Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I've got a load of windows 7 based tablet devices sitting on my desk at work, got a panasonic toughbook tablet that I reckon could handle a couple of leagues on FM. It's better than a lot of low end laptops with an SSD drive and core i5 processor. Ah this device http://rmm.toughbook.eu/printpdf/809?vid=8782 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smac Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 'cept for matches, which the iPad could handle, FM is a perfect game to play remotely. I envisage this kind of arrangement somewhere down the line, but it would take a bit of development effort. If someone did the programming I think the iPad could handle this already.

Indi75 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Maybe a few iPads down the line will be at the stage that it can play FM. A few iPads (and it's Windows 8 Quad Core challengers) down the line and FM will still largely be developed to take advantage of the mid to high end desktop and notebook processors. Best hope will be Windows 8 on Quad Core tablets unless Apple bring OSX to iPad as I can't see FM being developed on yet another platform just yet. Graphics will be an issue on any current tablet, iPad included, I'll bet you could melt through an iPad 2 running FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
snootyjim Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Probably never. If FM development stood still for a few years, sure, but that's not likely to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakobx Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Well there is always the possibility that SI is going to use web technologies for its GUI. HTML5 + WebGL for presentation while all the calculations are running on your computer or even on a cloud. Basically a client/server configuration. All you would have to do is then connect with a browser to your server and play the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you would have to do is then connect with a browser to your server and play the game. Probably the best suggestion made in the last year. C'mon FM13 in the cloud. Pay X/year to have a dedicated FM server and then play the game from your phone or pad or any terminal. Log into your game via Firefox. Customize via HTML5, etc..

Sorry, iTeleport. 'cept for matches, which the iPad could handle, FM is a perfect game to play remotely.

See my previous post - I do play remotely. It works fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimland Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I have played a little remotely aswell. Had the game running on my desktop and played it from my laptop through teamviewer, worked pretty good and could even watch 3d games as long as i didn't want top quality graphics.
