NGP is a developers dream. (Quote-Unquote)

Seems like sony has all the bases covered on the ngp. You get psp/psn/android and ps3 ports so there should be plenty of games. You also have the hardware with plenty of control options from motion to a rear touch pad. You even get 3g for multi-player. The only downside is no backward compatibility with the psp. As long as the price is under the 300 buck mark count me in.Rude_Bwoii

its BC with PSP but only through Digital download games which is still a good number of PSP games.

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

Well in my case I started recently buying most of my new PSP games from PSN so far I own 9 games from PSN and 30+ games on UMD anyway I dont think I will need the BC on NGP since I'm not planning on selling my 2 PSPs.

[QUOTE="APiranhaAteMyVa"] not really, some people just don't want a handheld ps3 if they already own a ps3, like me. This news does nothing for me, i will be far more interested if they announce some great must have titles, that use the NGP capabilities. This is a positive for those who want ps3 ports though, and it atleast mean sony aren't being stupid and making it impossible to develop for.Nintendo_Ownes7

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

Is it just me or Gravity Daze really looks like a wannabe Kid Icarus lol but anyway it looks promising.

Pretty sure I heard similar comments when the PSP was around the corner.....

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.

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

Espada12

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

NGP = PS3 (ish) without a complicated CPU. Sony finally realises the way forward.

A developer confirming that all they want is to create ports for the thing... :lol:

Sounds like nothing but good news. Attract the developers!

but i dont want ps3 games on psp :(

I don't know why the anonymity though when Kojima himself said it in the press conference that his next NGP game will be his dream game as a developer.

[QUOTE="Espada12"]

[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. Shinobishyguy

Oh I am sorry they had both the gyroscope and accelerometer. Look around for it and you shall find it!

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

When they made Shuhei Yoshida both head of SCE Studios and Senior VP of Product Development it became reasonably clear they were trying to create a better development environment.

[QUOTE="musicalmac"]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?Shinobishyguy

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.

[QUOTE="SRTtoZ"]

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?

Greyfeld

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?

Awesome if true. Being able to continue my Madden franchise from the ps3 to the ngp would be sweet imo.

That would be cool, but still. If this is the route NGP goes (and little to no good exclusives) I will not buy one. I buy a system for game I cannot play on any other.

Am i the only one excited about having a Call of Duty title coming to NGP? :P.. imagine playing online multiplayer with your PSN friends while on the airplane.Epic!

Here's another interesting tidbit about the NGP. Some people are wondering why Sony included the rear touchpad on the back of the device and think that it's not necessary. Truth is, Sony added it as choice. Instead of touching the front OLED screen, you can use the rear touchpad because Sony thinks that some gamers wouldn't want to mess with the front screen and having their screen with fingerprints and such. Glad they are giving gamers options.

I'm a developer. Where can I get a NGP now? :D

The NPG has a lot of potential. Can't wait to see how things turn out.

I have yet to be on an airplane where it offers internet while in the air :P.. but most airplanes now allow you to play during the flight, you just need to turn off everything during take off and landing.
