In our featured video for the week, Intel Software Network blogger and engineering manager Scott Crabtree describes “Carry Small, Game Large,” a new gameplay model for mobile video games which promises a a big, shared multiplayer gaming experience.
Crabtree boasts that with the new model, players can "walk up with a laptop, a handheld, or any mobile computer that can browse the internet, connecting to a multiplayer game projected on a big screen." This way, everyone is playing together in the same place.
Some of the example games the engineer cites for this setup include a group jigsaw puzzle, a multiplayer tank game, and a poker game. He went on to explain the appeal of the gameplay model: "Typically people are at home, looking at their own private view of the world. [With] this way of playing, everyone comes together, and everyone can talk to each other as they're playing whatever game is up on the big screen. "
