NGP is a developers dream. (Quote-Unquote)

So says an anonymous (sadly) developer at Eurogamer. (Kotaku Link)

is finally doing the things developers have been crying out for for years.Anoymous_Developer

Kotaku continues:

What developers have been crying out for is the ability to take games they'd made for the PS3 and quickly (and easily) put them on Sony's portable platform. And with the NGP, it sounds like they can do just that.Kotaku

Which is something that should make us all go, "YIPPIE!!"

The article goes on to state some very important things. For one, Sony really had developers in mind when creating the NGP, making it easier to work with. There will also be some interactivity between the PS3 and the NGP (no surprises here). The 3G version will not launch when the Wi-Fi version launches.

NGP gets better every day. What was it Nintendo was releasing again?

Still have my money on the 3DS. The DS didnt DESTROY the original PSP just because it lacked a second analogue stick!

PS3 might be losing some exclusives if it truly is easy to port over to the NGP. Maybe they can port multiplat titles easily to it too like RDR and Black Ops and others popular ones like that.

[QUOTE="IronBass"]Anoymous developer.... Kotaku... That totally happened.musicalmac

I have even less faith in Eurogamer, especially recenltly when they said Enslaved had sold 800k when it only did 460k. >.>IronBass

NGP has better graphics than PSP and 3DS, the handheld will have enough resources for every developer. 3DS game development will take more time and effort because of the hardware limitation and 3D.

Well, believe what you want, then. It's your choice.musicalmac

Oh come Mac, don't be angry. Here's cake!

meh, cool for those who want a ps3 on the go, but for me i wouldn't really see the point. I buy multiplats for 360 and pc, so i would definitely not take a multiplat on NGP over pc, 360 and PS3. As for exclusives being ported i would rather just get it for PS3.APiranhaAteMyVa

The 3DS will definitely be more commercially successful, but I think the PSP2 will definitely be the better platform for games and solid innovative experiences (3D will never be innovative for games, just a gimmick). If I find the PS3 is a solid platform (I think my girlfriend is getting me one for Valentine's Day) then I will definitely consider selling off the majority of my 360 library and switching support to the PS3 and eventually get the PSP2.

The games won't be identical (PS3 and NGP versions). It states that in the article. Plans are to include some interplay between the two, not sure what yet. I'm just happy Sony was smart enough to put a pair of analogs on the thing (unlike Nintendo). How is that not an obvious thing in this day and age?musicalmac

NGP gets PS3 collections confirmed? Well at least ports ^^ It's a good thing actually, seems like Sony learned from the past :)

I agree, between the cameras, rear touchpad, touch screen and six axis developers better start getting creative... 3DS is a DS with 3D.

The DS had touch screen, cameras and accelerometer already. Got me with the gyroscope though!

Yea since the announcment the 3ds has been all but forgotten in my eyes....I still want one, but cmon, how could you not want the power of the PS3 in your hands, instead of some gimmicky 3d adventure?

Yea Imagine that... a touchpad that doesnt involve putting your fingers over the game you're playing....

Well, if they port Demons Souls i will buy it, otherwise i will wait for the first huge RPG, probably in 2013-2014

On the other hand, if the NGP is only going to offer a slightly diluted PS3 experience, why would I bother to get one when I already have a PS3?

The fact that SONY made NGP an easy system to develop games for means they learned their lesson the hard way with PS3.

Sounds like my fears are being realized, I don't want a PS3 on the go, I want a different system.

We'll see. Looks like everything I don't want in a handheld, personally.

[QUOTE="BreakTheseLinks"]

Uhh the 3DS also has a touchscreen, accelerometer, gyroscope and 3 cameras. The 3DS is far from 'a DS with 3D.' And I still think the trackpad on the back sounds like a horrible idea.SRTtoZ

Everything related to NGP always gets turned in to something negative. XDlbjkurono23

thats awesome. i cant wait to see what kind of games will come to the NGP.

[QUOTE="lbjkurono23"]Everything related to NGP always gets turned in to something negative. XDAPiranhaAteMyVa

Little deviants seems like one it looks innovative though we still don't know much about it.

Im sure it will be, but I wont buy it if its 500 dollars. Right now a bit mroe excited for 3ds.

Still not going to be as entertaining as the 3DS.
