Support NeoGAF

I think there will be some form of internal memory for storing things in each SKU, and the reason why Sony hasn't said a word about it is because they're still finalizing the size in collaboration with their price.

Do we really need internal memory? I think its less costly to include and require memory card devices (and sell those) then tinker with including some size of internal memory. Was the PSP's method of handling this not suitable for everyone?

We do if they want to push it as a digital device

I dont understand. If they are giving every unit a sizable memory card, then how would it not function as a digital device. The slide says card will be large to support a variety of downloadable content...semingly nullifying the need for large internal memory?

Needing to buy something separately that should be included? This isn't 2001. Or 2004. Get with the times, dinosaur, or hop in my gas tank and let me run on your fossil fuels.

Your choice!

We don't know if every unit comes with a memory card. If it does, then it's not really an issue. It will basically be just like the 360 where the system comes preinstalled with removable, proprietary storage.

Sony should steal the smart cover idea from apple and put it on the NGP.

Just found out what it is

that is pretty cool, if Sony don't do it I am sure a 3rd party one will be made for it.

Interesting comments, nothing we don't already know, but still...glad they're going after those devs: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/...yStation_Dev_Relationships_Back_To_Basics.php

Meeting with outside developers and publishers during the creation of the upcoming Next Generation Portable reminded Sony Computer Entertainment president Shuhei Yoshida of the good old PlayStation 1 days, he said in a recent interview.

You mean steal the smart cover idea that apple stolen from someone else.

Anyways, I don't like the smart cover idea. It's dumb.

Edit: This is what I use for my PSP.

A hard case, that's not a flimsy piece of junk, and can still do the same movie stand function.

 

[Oppo]

You'd need magnets embedded in the NGP hardware itself to make a smart cover type thing work. I agree it is pretty neat, although only protects the screen.

So I was searching and there is nothing yet on the audio output for the NGP, so I wonder if the device will have any sort of virtual surround headphone tech ( Dolby Headphone/Mobile, Sony VPT,DTS SSH, other) since some of the new Walkman series actually got VPT, or do you think Sony will not care about this since most of the gamers don't give a jack about the audio quality?

Acquire appears to have a bunch of unannounced games on the way, including titles for NGP and 3DS.

The US site for JETRO (Japan External Trade Organization) is host to the PDF for a Game Developers Conference brochure that provides background information on the studio.

I like that they even refer to it as the PSP2.

RTS is likely a new Badman. Though, Sony would be publishing that, not them.

Yep, and Tenchu is probably the stealth-action title.

Either Tenchu or Shinobido (which is basically Tenchu) or a Tenchu-4-Tenchu (which is different from classic tenchu/shinobido)

Helll yes! Exactly the two series I wanted to see from them on my future NGP.
