The more I think about the back touchpad the better it becomes. I didn't realise, but it's the same size as the front screen, so interaction is 1:1.

This means you can pretty freely hit a spot on the display tapping from the back pretty easily with little practice and won't have your hand cover the whole screen when you reach for the upper left. Brilliant.

it actually is such a smart design. i can't wait to see the games that use it in unique ways. i can imagine something like closing your item bag in a game by moving your finger horizontally across the back in sync with your thumb on the front as if your zipping up the top of your psp. little things like that could be pretty cool.

"VRAM: NGP has a lot in comparison to the PSP "

Considering Xbox 360 games are limited to around 6 GB, 4 GB doesn't sound too bad, especially since they shouldn't have to pre-render a bunch of cinema to cover loads. Unless, of course, these cards are terribly slow.

And while UMDs could hold up to 1.8 GB, that's for a dual-layer disc. It's 900 MB for single-layer games, which a lot are.

I'm a typing fascist. I'm undoubtedly the best speller in my soccer team. But I'm getting worse as I get older...

You spelled football wrong.

When it hit $199 I will buy this sexy device.

 

[HaRyu]

They never mentioned on-board storage at all.

Maybe I was thinking back to all the initial rumors about the NGP then.

"on your soccer team".

In his defense, he never said best person grammatically. He may have intentionally put "in."

Am I mistaken or it's gotten more bulky since the announcement?

Dammit. That's from spending too much time on international GAF.

More on dev stuff is cool. I'm really glad about the reported ease of development. It'll be very interesting to see its launch line-up.

Are the top of the triggers black now or is that just the lighting?

Lol, am still wondering why Americans call "Football", "Soccer".

 

[Infinite Justice]

Didnt they initially say that the PSP2 had game cards, and was going to use some sort of memory card/memory stick thing too? And didnt they also say it had on-board storage?

was rumors iirc

Don't go there, son.

Probably the developers device had onboard storage. IRC.

Am sorry father.

I was thinking the same thing, I think it's just the lighting though.

Also, are those stick convex or concave? I've heard mixed reports and I can't tell from that.

Will be very intuitive. touch points on a 2D plane even though its in a 3D game.

Touchpad: Simultaneous touches on the same screen. Both front and back.

Rear Touchpad: Can be used for a variety of actions- Crouching, Snipe, Map, Melee

Again emphasizing how intuitive it is. Seems like very natural using the touchpad.

Just the lighting. When the display rotates you can see that they're still transparent.

Moving on to the camera and microphone.

Talking about how one will be "passive" for taking pics, etc, and the other will be more "active". mainly for integrating into gameplay
