PSP vs 3DS: Metal Gear (56k!)

Also, it looks like even in 2D mode it can only display 400x240 resolution. The reason why I say this is because, of course, the 3D effect can be turned on and off - but if a game is designed around the 3D effect, for 400x240 resolution, it would like horrendously ugly at 800x240 due to stretching. Also, the proportions of the 3DS aren't correct for 800x240 resolution. The width of the screen looks like it is about 1.6-1.7 times the size of the height; which matches up exactly with 400x240 resolution. So I'd guess the 3DS is permanently locked in to 400x240.

That assumes the developers limit themselves to "square" pixels. In theory a pixel can be any number of shapes. (Well, depending also on how the screen is designed)

I agree with Ragnarok. We can compare both handhelds graphic wise when one was released 6 years ago.

I think they both look good, but is it fair to compare graphics from a handheld what 6 years ago? To a brand new next gen one?

I think nintendo got scared of handheld competition. They aren't afraid of the psp but they ARE afraid of the apple IPAD. I think they need to make a DS with some type of OS, maybe linux or a stripped down version of windows. They aren't waiting for apple to put up a fight, they're gonna take a fight to them.

Heres a better comparison.

PSP

3DS

Even thoug the 3ds game is barely in its infant stage it already look very impressive and the 3d effects are going to make it look even better.

Why are people comparing the PSP to the 3DS? Don't they realize how old the PSP is?

Hmmm, PSP released 2004. 3DS released 2011.... Who would of thought.Ringx55

And remember graphics do not matter at all! ( when it is your console that is lacking:P )

No, graphics don't matter when comparing handhelds from different generations.

Sure the graphics can look better

But I'd rather have a new game than a remake/port

This is coming from a psp/ds owner

I don't care about which looks better

I'm an adult gamer I've never considered Nintendo any competition for sony. p4s2p0

The 3DS is better, but its also a next gen handheld. Im going to guess that the PSP2 or whatever sony releases to compete with the 3DS will be better graphicallyWaffle_Fish

I'm pretty sure he meant that the wii came out after the 360 and is ahead.

While it didn't put 360 on top, I think launching first did help Microsoft capture a considerable amount of its market share and recognition. It might have sold even better if not for RROD and all the negative publicity it generated.

"The high level models are about the same quality as the stuff we made on the PlayStation 3," Kojima said, "although it's tough to see this. If we'd had a bit more time, we could have made something better."

:shock:

If the 360 had launched alongside the PS3 it would still have been a much cheaper option, given the extra time some of its creases could have been ironed out too.tomarlyn

Even being cheaper than the PS3, Microsoft would have still risked having their system overshadowed by Sony and Nintendo. It's not like the 360 was a successor to the best selling console of all time or had the hype off a new control method.

VendettaRed07

woot? I've played 2 and 4, missed out on 3. This is fantastic if true

Peacewalker...brand new game in Solid Snake mythos. Snake Eater in 3D....same old game in 3D. Shrug. Bread_or_Decide

Remember when graphics didn't matter to Nintendo fans? Oh yes, those were the days. Now that they have a comparable hand held suddenly we hear things like, "Oh it'll loook better than PS2." Graphics didn't impress them on the PSP. In fact, it was just all ports of PS2 games, with zero innovative gameplay. Where's the innovative gameplay in this port? Bread_or_Decide

3DS is the main hub for all PSWii60 gamers, handheld is the only space we share atm, it's nost just Nintendo fans.

And btw "graphics don't matter" argument originates from "Gameplay is more important than graphics". It's not that graphics "don't matter", it's just that gameplay matters more.

They are adding motion sensors and a gyroscope too on 3DS, there is a small update in the handheld gameplay department too. Then you have the dual analogue setup (analogue stick + touch screen). So yeah there are upgrades gameplay wise, but the whole 3D thing is overshadowing everything.
