Is it possible to create a seamless transition between a platforming segment into, say, a top down navigating segment, then back to platforming again, while tying it all up as an RPG of some sort?
Here's how I look at it. LBP2 editor can make any game from any genre. ANY. It could even make top down racers, RTS, shooters, etc. all I've seen from SC2 customs so far are hundreds of variations of shooters. And defense games. -_- Little Big Planet 2 expresses much more possibilities than SC2. And no, I'm not biased. I'm diamond 1v1 platinum 2v2 platinum 3v3 and platinum 4v4.

Minimum brightness, low volume = 7 hours. Max brightness, max volume, multi-tasking music playback from a Pandora station over wireless internet = 3 hours. "Minimum brightness No sound No vibration Airplane mode" So you gimp the experience and the usefullness of having a smartphone. sorry but like i said, on a trip i'd rather have a ds for gaming and use my phone normally. All good, to each his own. I'd rather have my mobile gaming needs merged with my multi-media and internet needs on one device. It's much easier on my pocket. All I'm saying is, we shouldn't discount the iDevices as gaming devices. They have the same multi-plats as DS and PSP, and some cases score higher. They have games coming out on it that COMPLETELY BLOW PSP out of the water in terms of visuals. Not only does it do online WiFi or blue-tooth multiplayer with built-in voice chat, but you can even play multiplayer over 3G WIRELESS INTERNET if the game supports it. iPods/iPhones are currently on the rise in popularity, and is actually blowing up extremely fast in the gaming sector. There are literally hundreds more game developers on it than any other current handheld, and the demographic for it isn't limited to a majority of young men like the PSP is (the DS admittedly has a better female count than PSP). Millions of gamers have already made the jump from their other handhelds to either an iPhone or iPod Touch. I'm not the only one, believe me. They're out there, just not posting in system wars. Do I still have my DS? Yes. Do I hate the DS? No. Do I play it still? Only to visit my daughters Animal Crossings town.
My bad dood, trying to respond to so many diff people. Yes, Chaos Rings is a game from Square Enix. It may not have the words Final Fantasy in it, but you can sure bet it's a freakin final fantasy game. Everything from game mechanics, interface, battle system, etc, all Final Fantasy. The infamous reoccuring Cid character is in there, as is an appearance of a moogle. That doesn't make it Final Fantasy... Well whatever, this is off-topic anyhow. The point is, the iDevices have major backing from all the big developers, ranging from SEGA, all the way to EA, Epic, Rockstar etc. I don't agree with OP in saying Apple is taking over Nintendo, but I definitely do recognize that they are here to stay and is good healthy competition (hopefully Apple's rise in handheld gaming will finally beat the stubborn out of Nintendo and force them to finally catch up to the world in online connectivity and community).

[QUOTE="Omni-Gamer-"][QUOTE="Ontain"]the problem with using your phone to play "good" games is that they will drain your battery really fast. that's not something you want to do to your phone. they are good for playing less intensive games like bejeweled though. by contrast you can play for several hours with a DS. I mean stuff like mario kart, zelda not just 2d stuff.Ontain
I'm not sure if you know, but the iDevices have amazing battery life. You're not understanding: There are FAR more 3D games on the iPhone/iPod now than the DS. And those 3D games can be played for up to five to six hours before having to plug in. When not playing games, the devices last up to 12 hours. i'd like to see the stats on the battery life while playing games. the not playing game time isn't useful. heck the DS can last like a week or more without playing. also according to this article http://www.pcworld.com/article/200298/iphone_4_battery_life_the_test_results_are_in.html "In this test, the iPhone 4 lasted just 2 hours and 21 minutes-capturing, manipulating, exporting and viewing 25 minutes of HD video and making 34 minutes of FaceTime calls." so basically 2 hours of full use. if i was on a trip i'd rather have a DS and save my phone charge.

[QUOTE="toast_burner"][QUOTE="Omni-Gamer-"] Really? It could play FPS's that look 3 times better than Metroid Prime? What about Command and Conquer? How about Rage? Let's reverse your claim: Anything from Apple can play games beyond current handhelds level. Next?Omni-Gamer-
What FPS on the Ipod looks better then metroid prime? let alone 3 times better.
