[I NEED SCISSORS]

How is the screen going to deal with smears and shit?

If they are smart the NGP will be coated in Gorilla glass and have a free cloth.

 

[SneakyStephan]

Didn't care much for game based on the screenshots (I mean the graphics look quite good, and I enjoyed uc1 and 2 on ps3 but I have/had basically zero interest in playing another uncharted game. after 2 games of third person cover shooting crap).

But holy shit, for a handheld game it looks ridiculous in motion, what the fuck, how?
From the first footage shown it looke like it would all be super limited closed off corridor stuff to have to render as little geometry as possible, but this looks amazing.

 

[Izayoi]

$299 and I am there day 1

oh and Dark Souls port please!!!!!

Dream on.

Looks good, but how about some direct-feed footage?

This is going to be one of those things where we don't get real screenshots until after the game actually launches, isn't it? Ugh.

G4TV have a video interview:

[StuBurns]

Is all the touch/motion stuff optional?

 

[Spiegel]

Is all the touch/motion stuff optional?

It seems so

 

[DieH@rd]

Is all the touch/motion stuff optional?

Almost all they say.

 

[SneakyStephan]

you are watching it on what?

I'm watching it on a CRT, so I could say it, if I wanted to, but I don't!
He embarrased himself though , hahahaha

 

[plainr_]

Beautiful.

Please be a launch title.

 

[AgentChris]

Beautiful.

Please be a launch title.

It is

 

[KevinCow]

I hate to be negative, but the ways they're using the touch screen seem really pointless. With the exception of maybe precision aiming grenades, it all seems like they're using the touch screen just for the sake of using the touch screen.

Other than that, I'm sure the game will be good. But it's just about the only thing I can think about every time they show the game off and constantly point out how you can tap the next platform to jump to it, or slide your finger along the screen to watch Drake climb.

 

[Izayoi]

Almost all they say.

That's what worries me. It should 100% optional, with the ability to toggle all of it off completely.

 

[sestrugen]

Honestly the screenshots look completely generic.

I....uh compared to what? also its a handheld!

got to love me some drake action

 

[StuBurns]

It seems so

Almost all they say.

Cool, thanks for the replies, sounds good, certainly the most own title for me. Well, until they announce Lumines 3 next week.

 

[Himself]

Those slide your fingers to move the character and tap to grab this and tilt to balance stuff looks...not fun.

 

[Ashes]

In the comment section, jeff talks about super stardust delta.... Is that a port, or a new game?

Edit: Video not working on the iPad...
It was with wipeout. 2048 though... :?

new

 

[jiggles]

Unless it's direct-feed footage, you don't need to be viewing it on the actual device to spot the absence of a backlight and get a feel for how great the blacks are.

Sure, with my monitor's backlight, I'm not seeing them exactly as they are, but you can still tell they're much better than on an LCD screen. I mean, if you filmed an OLED and a LCD screen, both showing all black, you'd be able to identify them easily.

 

[Jarmel]

Anyone notice this? I thought the frame rate dropped a few times in the video.

 

[TheOddOne]

Anyone notice this? I thought the frame rate dropped a few times in the video.

Yeah, seems kind of rough in places but its still in development.

 

[RavenFox]

All motion is optional. That's been stressed by the folks playing it many times now so no worries.

 

[Grisby]

Anyone notice this? I thought the frame rate dropped a few times in the video.

Yes. Lottttt of touch stuff. More then I thought there would be. Optional though so thats cool.

 

[BadWolf]

If this is what day one stuff looks like then holy shit at the possibility of what we might see a few years from now.

 

[StuBurns]

Framerate is really dicey in the blog vid yeah.

[Bad_Boy]

dual analogs ftw

 

[jiggles]

A friend of mine just ruined the title of this forever by suggesting it sounded like an ocean of piss. :|

 

[nelsonroyale]

funny when I hear golden....I think of gold first...piss is yellow unless you are Midas

 

[StuBurns]

Golden shower is the first thing I thought of.

 

[syoaran]

Sounds like the game is now past a content milestone if they got Sony's external QA house working on it now.

Unofficially confirmed for a 2011 release?

 

[nelsonroyale]

Golden shower is the first thing I thought of.

Heh, I'm half-Indian though, a country which has gold on the brain

 

[ConradCervantes]

The touch stuff doesn't look half bad to me, to be honest. That video looked incredible.

 

[scar tissue]

visuals are great for a handheld, but certainly not PS3 level

 

[TrojanBlade]

WTF who is expecting this? Come on no one should expect this to go above or even close to PS3 levels...That would not make sense even from a business perspective for Sony.

But it has the BEST visuals for a handheld which is what matters because it should and will be compared to other handhelds. And the dual sticks just makes it the almost perfect handheld.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

The hell you say!

 

[StuBurns]

I'm not sure what it is, I never connect gold with piss, but golden I do.

Concerning the PSV, I'm not convinced it'll be a good 'portable' system, but it's going to be the greatest in-bed entertainment device ever.

 

[Vinci]

Won't lie. The more I hear about this system, the more likely I am to support Sony this time around. Bravo, gentlemen. Admittedly they could fuck all that goodwill to hell by announcing an insane pricepoint, but barring that...

 

[3N16MA]

I'm not into portable gaming as much anymore but I hate missing out on games like this.

A bit too revealing and sad, don't you think?

 

[Skilletor]

Holy shit at that .gif.

PSV first day. I don't care if it's 500 bucks.

 

[StuBurns]

A bit too revealing and sad, don't you think?

True, the plastic vagina is the real winner.

Spoiler

You know what I mean, if you don't want to take up a TV, this thing is perfect. Even solo if you want a bit of Gilmore Girls on while you play, this is a god send.

 

[RyanardoDaVinci]

It's a PS2.75.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

It's a PS2.75.

Yea seriously, this game looks fucking phenomenal for the device it is playing on. Better start saving now.

Honestly, my interest stems from all the control methods. The pretty screen is just icing for me. Even without that, the cake sounded pretty damned tasty.

 

[Spiegel]

I'm on the same boat. Everything looks great and probably worth the money but I don't want to spend >250$ and Sony most likely will end fucking things pricing it outside of mainstream prices (for a handheld console).

 

[Majmun]

Looks like sex.

 

[StuBurns]

Honestly, my interest stems from all the control methods. The pretty screen is just icing for me. Even without that, the cake sounded pretty damned tasty.

That stuff doesn't really interest me, but dual sticks and the nice big screen are awesome. It's not looking very outdoor friendly, I'll almost certainly be using my iPhone for any outdoor gaming. I'm concerned for Sony, because I'm not sure what kind of demand there is for a device like this.

 

[rdrr gnr]

Amazing video.

Oh, I'm counting dual sticks in that control methods love. Don't get me wrong. Thrilled to see dual sticks on it.

As for demand: Meh. If Sony ain't concerned, I ain't concerned. Though if this or the PS4 puts the company into the ground, I won't be happy.

I think there will be a demand for it, Majority of folks didn't really carry their PSP's and Ds's in their pocket. They usually carry it in a bag. I personally play handhelds at home in bed or around the house (garden, couch and etc). I also may use handhelds for holidays, long bus rides, when staying over in another house, lunch breaks at work and etc. I don't see the size being a problem, in fact DSi XL was a huge seller. Hell if this has a decent web browser I would probably just bring my Vita only instead of my laptop to work for lunch breaks.
