Developers Comment on NGP

Major third party producers and directors share their price forecasts and say what features attract them.

[full article]

Discuss: How the NGP will revolutionize portable online gaming and how developers will help achieve this.

"Nishikawa noted that for the system's GPU and CPU, Sony appears to be taking the exact opposite approach from the PS3, making use of existing technology. This gives them advantages both in terms of cost and allowing programmers be experienced with the architecture."

Looks like we don't have to worry too much about pricing after all.

I still wish we knew more of the specifics of the chip architecture to break it down, but Sony is looking to pony up to developers this go around (note to self: always a good strategy).

Doesn't have Nintendo support though, which is a big deal for me when it comes to handhelds. SAGE_OF_FIRE

What is the point in even comparing the 3DS launch line up when devs and pulisher are put in a situation where they cannot discuss such things? They need to create quality games for the NGP so they need some time then they can announce all that they will put into the device. At this point in time comparing libraries isn'there or there. There could be arguments about which has better first party brands however, that is hardly the point of discussion because still scripting, game play and other things tied with that are TBA for either side (e.g. Kid icarus and Little Big Planet).

Also, the PSP used MIPS R4000. If a list can be compared between: joint partners with MIPS for the R400 model with consumer end products vs. the joint partner ships with the ARM cortex A9 model and consumer end products . . . than a proper conclusion could be made.Other wise, the opinion that "pspused existing tech" therfore the PSP, " . . was 100 more thends"is invalid as one has not been proven as the root cause as the other. The same must be proved for the statment "all due to additionalaccesorieswedidntneed" is very vague and unclear. Please elaborate and provide proof to your logic!

The rest of your points seem to be tangents based off of the premise (which has already proven as faulty and lacking facts) so if you can please clarify; there will be a bit more to understand where you are coming from.

TY.

Onto another subject, the odds of anime game franchises being on the NGP are high.

DBZ

Bleach

Naruto

Ghost In the Shell

Gundam

.hack

Yu-gi-oh

All of these games did very well for the PSP. Asside from new IP's, some old and new anime series based games should make apperances on the NGP as well. Especially since there are so many Japanese third party supporters and anime and manga influences are so prominant in a Japanese games story development.

Tecmo Koei demoed Dynasty Warriors on the NGP. Koei should seriously consider making a Dynasty Warriors: Gundam title for the NGP as the regular Dynasty Warriors could seem a bit dull and predictable from them.

If only there was a good Fullmetal Alchemist game .... :o

There is a Full Metal title out right now for the PSP.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDoZZLW3Qfs&feature=related

It would be cool if on the NGP version ofHagane no Renkinjutsushi(or whatever spin off) the back touch panel could be used for that trick where Edward touches the ground and it raises up. It would seem really intuitive.

Here's the newer FMA title for the PSP (Yakusoku no Hi e):

The gfx look great for a PSP game. It probably looks much better on the actual device.

They're talking about the ngp tomorrow ,right?lbjkurono23

Yes. It's probably just another walk through for the NGP but in english and at GDC.

It's between1:30- 2:30pm at San Fransico so that is PST time.
