PSP dead?: A comparison between HYPED upcoming PSP and DS games

Action and/or Adventure

DS

Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword

Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

PSP

God of War PSP

Winner: DS. God of War on the PS2 was fun, but it's nothing compared to either Ninja Gaiden (the best action/adventure game on the Xbox) or Legend of Zelda (the best action/adventure game on the GC)

RPG

DS

Dragon Quest IX

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Rings of Fate

Final Fantasy Tactics A2

Final Fantasy XII: Revanant Wings

Final Fantasy IV DS

Tale of the Tempest

It's a Wonderful World

Disagea DS

PSP

Final Fantasy Crisis Core

Final Fantasy Tactics

Final Fantasy Dissidia

Disagaea PSP

Winner: DS. Crisis Core and Dissidia look promising, but with Squeenix sequels like DQ9 and new IP's like It's A Wonderful World, the DS lineup slaughters the PSP's.

Platformers

DS

Megaman ZX Advent

Megaman ZX

Sonic Adventures 2

PSP

None (There are 2 or 3 upcoming PSP platformers, but none of them are hyped)

Winner: DS. By default. The DS has a few hyped platformers, but the PSP has none.

Fighting

DS

King of Fighters DS

Jump Ultimate Stars

PSP

King of Fighters PSP

Winner: DS. Both line ups are weak, but the DS slightly beats the PSP with Jump Ultimate Stars. PSP needs another Tekken game if it has any chance at beating the DS in the fighting genre.

Shooters

DS

Brothers in Arms DS

Dementium: The Ward

Geometry Wars DS

PSP

Star Wars Battlefront

Syphon Filter: Login's Shadow

Winner: Tie, both have mediocre lineups

Music

DS

Taiko Drum Master

Won't You Listen to Classical Music on Your DS (A casual music game made by Squeenix. Sorry Squeenix fans, but no metrosexual emos in this game!)

Ouedan 2

PSP

PaRappa PSP

Winner: DS. By a long shot. New IP's and sequals >>>>>>>> a port of a PS1 game

OVERALL (excluding the tie):

DS: 5

PSP: ZERO

Your thoughts????

PSP should take the shooter catagory by default.Sig12047

I still have nightmare about playing Socom on my PSP...:|

No big PSP shooters have been announced yet. MGS and SOCOM have already been released. Also, do you understand how difficult it is to play FPS games with that sh**** analog?

Tales of the world and god of war psp will own any game on that list.xjet039

Dragon Quest IX >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tales of the World

Ninja Gaiden + Legend of Zelda >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> God of War 

Shooters

DS

Brothers in Arms DS

Dementium: The Ward

Geometry Wars DS

PSP

Star Wars Battlefront

Syphon Filter: Login's Shadow

Winner: Tie, both have mediocre lineups

moose_cow222

what? SOCOM and syphon filter are mediocre? The new SW Battlefront sounds awesome also - new customization and 16-player online are going to be in it.

Both are cheap now just get em' both and enjoy like me !

Ds have better shooters  and fighters hahahahahahhahahahahahh:lol:Tnasty11

Have you ever played Metroid Prime: Hunters? With that kind of control scheme, I never got why there weren't bunches of FPS games on the DS. Hunters is amazing.

 I fount it kinda annoying at first. Me and my friends would play that game to death back in HS. Good time good stuff :)

LMAO!! HAHAHAHA!

TC are bias and why did you made this into a threadTnasty11

I am not biased. I have both a PSP and a DS. The PSP had a great '06 year with MGS and R & C, but its '07 and '08 lineups suck compared to the DS'. In fact, it seems most develops have abandoned the PSP in favor of the DS.

PSP wins in the music department due to DJ Max 1 & 2DopeyDavoid

When has DJ Max ever been hyped? :|

Also,  Ouedan series >>>>>>> any DJ max game

shooter... DS

music... PSP! parappa the rapper is the shyte! 

I was under the impression that "dead" meant "no games coming out for" in this context, yet you managed to name at least one for every genre save platformers.Michael85

I never stated the PSP was dead. Hence, my usage of a question mark instead of a period. Whether or not the PSP is actually dead is completely up to the viewer.

Let's simplify the TC's post...

Take a look at these statistics I made up.

DS Awesome meter: 50 MILLIUNZ!!1!11one!eleven!!!1!one!

PSP Awesome meter: NOTHING!

And BTW, DS sucks for shooters. Metroid Prime Hunters is a piece of garbage that is not worthy of the Metroid title, and is one of the reason Metroid is not getting enough respect nowadays.

In that case, the answer is "no".

Hunters does NOT suck. In fact, it's the best handheld shooter I've ever played. Easily. It's my opinion of course, but unless you have a DS, and you have the game, then I can't take you seriously.

Hunters is excellent.

I like Zelda more than I do God of War.  And I never really saw what was so great about the Tales Of.... series (but I only played Symphonia, so maybe I can't talk.)

Whoa. Disgaea DS? DiSgaea I guess :)

Huge Disgaea/Makai fan here, and I've never heard of that game existing. Nippon Ichi hasn't published a game on a non-PlayStation platform that I remember. There IS a Disgaea Portable for PSP.

Meh, either way...you people need to realize that both systems are fantastic handhelds with great libraries. Plus they're both pretty cheap, why not own both?

I'm getting me a PSP soon.I don't think it will die.But it wont do better than the DS.vgmkyle

its already dead

This is System Wars... :|

Let's simplify Timstuff's post then... 

I DIDN'T READ TC'S POST, BUT I'LL COMMENT ANYWAY, LOLZ. DS IS GIMMICK. CAN'T EVEN PLAY TEH SHOOTERZ!!!1!!! 

Timstuff

See, I can do it too. :wink:

Seriously though, as a PSP owner, I found it hard to play shooters like SOCOM. That s**** "analog" on the PSP doesn't help, AT ALL.

I do not need to own Hunters to have played the game and know that it is the shame of the Metroid series, next to Metroid Prime Pinball. Metroid games on the DS have been flat out dissapointing, and if you're a Metroid fan you'd know that Hunters is the bastard child of the series bearing almost no resemblance to the games that made the franchise great. It's such a horrible shame that when great GBA games like Mario and Luigi and Advance Wars got proper followups on the DS, Metroid Zero Mission and Metroid Fusion would be followed up by a lame shooter made by people who had no respect for the franchise. The DS could have been home to an amazing 2D side-scrolling Metroid, but for whatever reason, Nintendo wanted to do a half-baked FPS that for some reason had Samus in it. My guess is that Nintendo wanted something that could sell the DS as a 3D enabled system (which isn't it's strength anyway), but that's no excuse for why such a sub-par (by series standards) game got released under the Metroid banner.
