Ipod Touch is your next handheld game system!

Watch, the Ipod touch will be the next hand held game system to beat. Ive been playing games on it for a week and I'm loving it. The system is more powerful than PSP and DS. The touch screen and accelerometer are great for gaming control. The device fits easily in my pocket. I never thought I would like an apple product.

The PSP is nearly dead with developers abandoning the system. And Ipod can do all the PSP can and more.

more powerful than a psp? i haven't played on one, but when i've seen people play it seems awkward as your thumbs take up both sides of the screen, where as on ds you're looking at the top screen or using a stylus.Mckenna1845

ipod touch sucks for games... everything i've tried so far is bunk. mobile gaming has always been garbage.

i'll stick with DS/PSP thx. i like games with a bit more thought and depth - ipod is basically 1 small step up from mobile phone games with a bunk accelerometer that doesn't work properly after a few minutes.

maybe next time apple. maybe next time.

It will never hurt nintendo sales,but is a very good start

Btw the psp's GPU is more powerful than the ipod touch one

Have you -seen- MGS Touch? If Koji can't get a decent looking game out of it, I'm pretty damn sure no one else is going to get much better.

If more develpoers gave the PSP a chance , it would have taken off more than it did. The Classic remakes on PSP are second to none, such as FF1 & 2, Cactlevania DXC, both Megaman titles, etc.motherboop

[QUOTE="110million"][QUOTE="3picuri3"] iphone / ipod touch destroy the PSP for anything web related. last i checked the PSP had no GPS built in either... so yeah, for browsing, google maps, gps, videos, iphone just destroy the PSP. PSP obviously has 'some' better games though :PIpik_Fenris

hard to decide :?hahaha

No.

The controls are the worst problem. No stylus, no d-pad, no analog stick -- one touch screen can only go so far.

I have an ipod touch (16 GB) and only very simple games work for it, like iphysics and that maze game (all via jailbreak mod)

I would never buy a game for it

Apple isn't putting gaming as their priority obviously, but oddly enough they've surprised me. The game i Love Katamari on the iPhone was one of those surprises. I'm also surprised at the lack of progressive thinkers in this thread (though what can I expect from the internet). People that think in obsolutes are old fashioned, obsolutes such as "no buttons is always bad" and "apple is never good." Try thinking out of the box.Svarthek

Please explain how not having buttons is something other than bad.

I was talking about the Ipod Touch 2g as the better gaming platform. all the reviews I have read of the 2g state it is signi signifantly faster in rendering 3D graphics than the Ipod Touch first get and the Iphone.

http://www.ipodhacks.com/article.php?sid=2632

There are plenty more articles as well and most reviewers say the GPU has been upgraded in the second gen Ipod Touch as well as the processor speed.

4.5 actually. Gameplay got a 4.0.

Like I said, a touch screen alone will only go so far.

Exactly... The Touch can't deliver the same kind of variety that other systems can. Strategy, shooters, flight, etc.

Is that why iD software is developing a game for Ipod?

Also when a private deeloper tried to get licensing to port Quake to Ipod iD said they are working on their own version.

[QUOTE="WAIW"][QUOTE="nintendofreak_2"]Imagine playing an FPS with everything controlled only by the Touch screen. The Touch screen has to be used for everything. Movement, aiming, shooting, etc. Sure, you could just have an on screen button for certain things, but that clutters the screen. A Touch screen by itself is just not capable of giving an intuitive set up.

Good for them, that doesn't prove anything though.
