Apple Tablet: Apple iPad To Boast Major Gaming Capabilities [Gameloft, EA Prepare iPad For Gaming]

Apple announced their new iPad Tablet today as we covered it from the safety of the TFTS War Room. Gaming on the Tablet was strongly rumored to be strong, and both EA and Gameloft showed off exciting new games for the iPad. It appears that the iPad will feature much more hardware horsepower than its smaller iPhone brother.

Gameloft showed off an impressive first person  shooter, called Nova, that ran on the iPad and used your finger tips and a graphic drawing-type mechanic to ’shoot’ the bad guys. While the graphics weren’t obviously on par with something like Crysis, they easily were better than most of the iPhone games we’ve seen.

Electronic Arts was on hand as well, and showed off an impressive version of Need For Speed Shift, the racing game. Again, it pushed the graphics a lot faster than they’ve gone before, and the game used both the multi-touch power of the screen, and the iPad’s accelerometer.

As covered earlier, the iPad will also be able to run iPhone applications out of the box, so all of the great iPhone games will run on the device as well. But certainly, with a bigger screen, the iPad can offer a different gaming experience vs. the iPhone.
