jayseven Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Every once in a while, I just love being rick-rolled. Haven't heard the song in so long :P
Aneres11 Posted June 2, 2011 Author Posted June 2, 2011 Thread bump. IGN have created a list of games for the NGP/PSP2 which they know will be released for the console and very early thoughts. Seems Uncharted looks to be the A+ title to me. I want. http://uk.psp.ign.com/articles/117/1172165p1.html
Cube Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Uncharted had better suck, or else it's going to cost me a lot of money.

Daft Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Kotaku were touching themselves over Uncharted, too. Kotaku - Uncharted: Golden Abyss SS Delta looks sick. Also, Wipeout 2048 having cross platform play with the PS3?! That's insane and awesome.
ReZourceman Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Oh for fucks sake. Uncharted AND Super Star Dust. Fucking arsehole wankers, making me buy a console I don't even want.
Aimless Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Uncharted had better suck, or else it's going to cost me a lot of money. I'm afraid Sony Bend have a pretty good track record when it comes to handheld third-person shooters, and that's without using a second analogue stick. Sorry!
Daft Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Also, bacwark compatibility with current PSP titles on PSN, hoorah, no surprise. BUT with adjusted control like dual analogue for Resistance Retribution?! Can I get a fuck to the yeah! I'm loving everything I'm hearing. I doubt I'll be a position to buy it any time soon but actually do want. It's sounds like a gamer's handheld.
Debug Mode Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Aww this is going to turn out to be one of those bullshit scenario's where only digital copies can be played. I bought a physical copy of Phantasy Star Portable 2, I would love to be able to play it on the NGP if I ever buy it. Also some of the screen shots that are being spread around seem kind of fishy, most are 720p (when that's not the resolution of the screen) and although I'd love to have a handheld with that much graphical power, the anti-aliasing in the snooker game IGN was posting screens of definitely has me suspicious.
flameboy Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Oh for fucks sake. Uncharted AND Super Star Dust. Fucking arsehole wankers, making me buy a console I don't even want. Yeah same here! So bizarre that all this getting unveiled now...makes you wonder what else they have up their sleeves that they plan on unveiling at E3.
Debug Mode Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Just going to post the views I put up on Facebook. Both developer video's seems to show they haven't thought of creative ways to use the touch screen and back panel just yet. Uncharted: OH YEAH, DRAG DRAKE ACROSS AND HE FELLOWS. Whuh? Isn't that just needless effort? My thumbs are already at the pad, why move? Wipeout: We use the front and backpanels for *VIDEO SUDDENLY GOES WHOOOOSH TO MUTE WHAT HE IS SAYING BECAUSE IT PROBABLY ISN'T USED FOR A WORTHWHILE FEATURE* But it looks damn impressive. The DS had similar problems of not much imagination from the developers at launch so NGP games will probably be the same. I really want one now, my only dig is that Sony have kind of made it as a PS3 portable which is pretty retarded because you'll be playing console games on a small 5 inch screen. No games so far scream 'this is made for portable gaming' The NGP has a lot of potential and the dual analog control gives it a significant edge over the 3DS: Portable FPS. Although it has been done on both DS and PSP before, it wasn't very comfortable due to the touch screen or the unnatural feel of using the face buttons. My last point pretty much stands the same, the majority of titles shown for the NGP really feel that it's an alternative to gaming on a console by just replicating the console experience to a handheld, rather than offering a unique experience. I can't remember the game that uses the back panel pretty well, but that's a game in the right direction. The video's of Wipeout and Uncharted from Sony just makes me feel a bit odd about the thing.
Daft Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 I don't want handheld games. I want portable console games. Console gaming rocks. I have my iPhone for my 'handheld' experience. What exactly are you looking for? I don't get what 'handheld' gaming is.
dwarf Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) Mahoosive disagreement with Daft tbh. Edit: And then I saw Wipeout running on the thing. With cross platform play. OM NOM NOM Edited June 2, 2011 by dwarf
Debug Mode Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 I don't want handheld games. I want portable console games. Console gaming rocks. I have my iPhone for my 'handheld' experience. What exactly are you looking for? I don't get what 'handheld' gaming is. Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. It's just a perception that I have some where in my mind which some consumers might have in mind. The perception is that the majority of games so far announced(it's a bit early saying this as their keynote is next week and could change things) just feel like an alternative to their PS3 counter-parts. As in, do I want a PS3 and enjoying it in a room with some surround sound, a giant TV and sitting back on the couch playing it or do I want it on a 5 inch screen with a less comfortable control scheme (Myself and a good few others I've talked to hate the analog stick position on the PSP)? It's hard to define what I console 'handheld' gaming considering I have no complaints with the NGP's idea, but it's kind of like how you use your iPhone for portable gaming. I'm just interested into whether people will choose between the two handheld or console experiences, considering in all likelyhood the NGP will be the same or higher price than the PS3.
Daft Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) I just don't really get what 'handheld' gaming is exactly. It's not like smaller games aren't available on XBLA and PSN. Edit: Ah, yeah, fair enough. I wouldn't worry too much. Sony are probably trying to show the machine off right now and that's going to be a lot harder to do will "smaller" titles. I guess we'll see. A big attraction for me is its link to the PS3. Edited June 2, 2011 by Daft
ReZourceman Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 I just don't really get what 'handheld' gaming is exactly. Its like...gaming that you can play in your hand/take anywhere. Like, the Gameboy (Nintendo) that was kind of the one that set it all off.
Cube Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 I like handheld games to be different. I tend to play it mainly in my house anyway, which is why I'm not too fond of the PSP2 (as I may as well just play a home console).
Aneres11 Posted June 2, 2011 Author Posted June 2, 2011 This... is just one example of handheld gaming. Cant do this bad boy on a home console.
Burny Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 At the very least it looks like the concept of near platform parity with the NGP (Vita?) and the PS3 is technically working very well. But as Debug_Mode says, what they're doing now is downsizing a more recent home console including the types of available games and control method into a handheld. That can be a good thing, because it might be the only way they can get major western third parties, who are completely focused on high def console and PC development, really interested. It can also be a bad thing, because they might have to rely on ports for very high profile third party support. Still, I hope the NGP succeeds where the PSP failed in the west. Putting pressure on Nintendo can only be a good thing in certain areas, where they're not quiet delivering until now. And having two dedicated and distinguishable gaming handheld systems on the market should finally shut up the "OMG - 90c apps are killing gaming handhelds!"-hype, that has been completely blown out of proportions lateley imo.
Daft Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Someone should probably change the thread title. Remember the PS Vita Memory and Game Cards (Don't Forget!) Also, the Vits is apparently Region Free which is awesome.
Grazza Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 If you can browse the web and save any image on this, I'm in. The 3DS's web browser has been a massive disappointment to me. I've only been able to save about 2% of the images I want to. As for games, Dragon's Crown looks amazing, like an updated Golden Axe.
Pit-Jr Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 i thought that was a PS3 game, and yes it does look amazing!

You can do that on the PS3 and I doubt they'd be that dissimilar. It'll be interesting to see if the link up to the PS3 will mean there are WiiU ports. Can't imagine they would be that hard to do.
Debug Mode Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 REGION FREE? I'm even more hyped for this than I was after the 3DS reveal. Just hoping they announce more games that appeal to me as from what I've seen it may just be Wipeout right now.
Daft Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 As long as I don't have to buy two versions of Wipeout I'll be happy.
