BTW, if anyone wants to compare consoles, use Soul Calibur 2 as an example.
no some one mentioned earlier that he saw the magazine. It was the EGM coverage of E3, i have it right here.
It states this:
"too early to pick the winner the winner? Of course...... But that didn't stop us from developing our own half-baked opinions..... and the EGM staff responded five to three in favor of the PSP. Here were their first impressions.
ds:
Mark: i get the feeling people are hyped on teh DS. What i want to know is, where are the games that really make use of the dual displays? They need to show why having a touchscreen is such a brilliant idea.
Shane: I'll admit that the functionality of the double screen and touch panel have not been fully fleshed out yet, but nearly every developer i spoke with can't wait to expiriment on it, and it's going to be cheaper than the PSP. Pllus, wanna bet that every first party game will be [fantastic]
Shoe: It's all about potential. The DS's design is fundamentally unique, which means it'll give us new gaming experiences we've never seen or even thought of before/
Demian, yeah, but touch screens aren't exactly new. How many good PDA games have you played? The really only new thing here is the twin screens, and though it is early, i haven't seen them used to any mind blowing effect yet. So I don't have to press start to look at the map, thanks for that. (sarcasm is in the air) I am much more excited about Wi-fi so far.
Shoe: that is a horrible example-true career game designers are not busy thinking of ways to take advantage of a PDA's functions. But get a Ds in the hands of [the guy who makes boktai or the one who makes MArio] and we'll se some innovative magic.
Demian: ooh the dreaded miyomato (mario) card like a punch to the gut.
Mark: launch is just a few months away and everyone is still talking about potential and not auctualy games-that is a bad sign. Also ,Ds has no price, no release date (auctually it comes out novermber 30), barely any games-it doesn't even have a final hardware design. Anyone else think it will be delayed?
Shane: I think it will make it in time for Christmas. Nintendo is not afraid to launch a system with two games, see n64 (lol true.)
Shoe: looks like teh ps1. IT didn't laucnh with anything innovative but it had enough potential to make it on of the most succesful systems of all time. The Ds doesn't have to show its hand now. It has plenty of time before it is released, and has years after that to show us what it is made of.
Crispin: the DS sure looks clunky, though. Now the PSP-that is a sexy looking system.
Jen: you know nintendo made it clunky so a year after it comes out they can make us buy the sleeker DS-SP for only have the price (yeah sleeker and have an anlaog stick i hope)
End DS.
PSP impressions:
eh i dont wanna write all that. basically they said.
Wow music video, enuf to get me excited
you get excited with just that sounds like the ps1..... now we will see some games for vice city with wider audience.... umd to oddball of a format.... needs a da** cover.
anyhow I think the DS was better, and how they said the ps1 didn't launch with anything innovative, that is kinda true. But how in the world does that compare to the DS. They dont call a touchpad, mike, and two screens innovative (for a game console anyways.)
