Google Leak Hints At an Android Game Center With Multiplayer Support

An anonymous reader writes "Google appears to be preparing the launch of a game center for Android with an unknown name. It looks like the new hub will sport a slew of features, including multiplayer support, in-game chat, lobbies, leaderboards, and achievements. The leaked information come to us courtesy of Android Police, which amusingly stumbled on the details by tearing apart the apk file for MyGlass, the Google Glass companion app that launched earlier this week. The feature list was hidden within, though it's not clear if this was done on purpose to build hype or entirely by accident." While on the topic of Google-branded Android hardware speculation, this wishlist at The Full Signal makes some feature-list pleas for the rumored Nexus 5.

  1. Nexus 5 needs it own topic by tuppe666 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    This is two topics in one, and I suspect everyone who looked at the Nexus 4 is of the mind. Thought that it did not have enough local storage, compounded by having no expandable storage...on a device that was sold out so quickly because of its amazing price. It just pissed people off.

    People buy the Nexus range for regular updates of stock android, running on great, but good value hardware. Whether its 4" or 6" I couldn't care less...or whether it contains IR/Waterproof/Wireless Charging etc etc I don't even care who manufactures the phones (I would love to see a Lenovo Nexus), but local storage and Distribution issues need to be solved. I skipped the Nexus 4, hopefully the Nexus 5 will offer me what I want.
