Let’s face it, no matter how big any of these new Android phones turn out to be, gaming on them still wouldn’t be as fun as when you do it on an actual, full-size TV. There’s a certain type of immersion that you can only get from a 40- or 50-inch flatscreen television while playing with the lights off and 5.1-channel surround sound blasts all around you from a stereo in the same room. In light of this, BlueStacks — a
software company responsible for a popular Android emulator for the desktop — has announced that it will now offer its very own Android games console to try and take on the whole Android gaming industry and turn it up… to 12. It’s called GamePop, and it has just been made available as the first free Android games console — with a slight twist. You can only get it through a month-long promotion as part of a $6.99 monthly service subscription. In other words, it’s a subscription-based gaming service not unlike similar offerings that we’ve already seen before. But BlueStacks is trying to differentiate GamePop from everything else by bundling a free console and controller as part of the monthly service.
The great thing about GamePop is that it doesn’t require any special development to be used as an Android games console (unlike Ouya, for instance). According to BlueStacks, it will be able to run Android games natively, so you can just plug it in, turn on your Android device, and get to playing pretty much right away. We’re not completely convinced that this kind of setup will work without problems, but we would definitely be impressed if it did.
One important thing that’s worth noting is the fact that if you want to place a pre-order for the GamePop now, you’re going to have to pay for a year’s worth of service up-front. That means that your total bill for your first transaction with BlueStacks (for GamePop) will amount to about $84 USD at least. That’s the price of convenience, apparently.
If you want to find out more about the kind of titles that you will be able to play on the GamePop console once it arrives, as well as how the whole GamePop gaming service will play out if you do sign up for it, then check out the information laid out in the press release below.
