I haven't decided whether to get a PSP or NDS. I'm leaning toward PSP, but I have to get some money first.

I don't like the whole idea of touchscreen for DS. It's rather... stupid.

Yeah, we get everything last. Or not at all. :x

I want a PSP but I hear it's heavy and the batteries only last 4-5 hours before you have to recharge them. Besides, I can't afford. So I don't know if I'll get one or not.

You hate everything new and original. Face it, you fear change!!!

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on March 07, 2005, 08:29:04 PM

It's not new or original. It's being used on computers. It's not for handheld or console gameing. Face it.

Plus the controls gotta such tremendously. Plus you ain't really playing the game anymore, just making a fool of yourself tapping a screen.

Title:
Post by: WingZero on March 07, 2005, 08:36:08 PM

and besides the one still stuck in the past is the DS still using cartrideges and the psp will do another revolution by using mini disk bang!!! :D

Original for gaming. See, like, there's a pacman game where you have to draw your own pacman. Or a mario game in which you draw rings around enemies to kill them.
Wow, I'm making myself want one now.

The touch screen is too childish, I would feel like some little kid coloring some video game character on my hand held. Nintendo has always been for younger ages, and alwasy will be.

Title:
Post by: Osmose on March 07, 2005, 09:50:41 PM

Have you even tried the touch screen before calling it childish? Tis not childish, tis.... interesting. Although how they implemented it in Metroid Prime: Hunters is rather hard the first hour or two of gameplay.

Title:
Post by: GhostClown on March 07, 2005, 09:54:58 PM

I've tried it, and you are right somwhere in that area, giving the fact that Planners are touch-screen, but you also have to agree that Nintendo always does shoot for the younger crowd, and you can most likely expect better games from PSP.

Post by: Snake Eater on March 07, 2005, 10:17:35 PM

Yeah but some kiddy games are still fun like Mario 64 DS and WarioWare Touched!

Post by: Darkfox on March 07, 2005, 10:18:25 PM

WarioWare Flushed is more like it XD

Whatever, if you like that kinda stuff fine. Not really good for older games, too kiddish and no plot, I spent hours scratching my head on what the heck was being babbled in that random mass of... whatever.

Title:
Post by: Red Giant on March 07, 2005, 11:02:57 PM

Alot of childish games are fun. Don't judge by the age label.

I'm gonna feel like a little kid colouring on my handheld, and I'm gonna love it.
And I loved beating up cel shaded ganon. And I loved bouncing around with mario. And I loved catching that very last pokemon. And I don't regret a second of it (Well, maybe the incident with the master ball).

Title:
Post by: GhostClown on March 07, 2005, 11:07:28 PM

I'm not judging by label but content, and it's my view and I'm only posting it because I can.  I'm just saying I like Playstation better, people agree, and people don't agree, all systems have their own goodness and it's all good.

Post by: AsakuraHao2004 on March 08, 2005, 12:26:20 AM

Im kinda to poor to buy it, and especially to get a bunch of games for it, however, I may buy it just for the MEtal Gear game

Post by: MrMister on March 08, 2005, 02:25:07 AM

Fun news.
The guy who designed it put the square button too close to the screen on the PSP, so it's way less responsive than the others, making it almost impossible do combos.


The guy who designed it said "We created something beautiful. You wouldn't criticize a great architect for placing a gate in the wrong place."

You would if the gate didn't open!

*coughcoughwariowareisawesomecough*

The touch screen isn't kiddie. In some games it's mainly there just for some extra buttons. For example in Super Mario 64 DS, you use it for menus and rotating the camera. You

Hah! Thats a major issue, wouldn't they have to like re-construct the whole face to move the button?

1. Darkfox, you're wrong. Get over it.

2. With the higher graphics PSP games, you can expect a very low battery power. The lowest it can get is two hours before needing recharging.

3. Australia gets everything last. We totally missed out on the glory that is Katamari Damacy. But we're supposedly getting number 2.

4. The touchscreen IS revolutionary in the field of games. Nyah.

Wuv da tuch skween? Kids love the touch n play. But I prefer the manly controller... lightweights. As for revolutionary, meh, it's more like a downgrade. I'm not impressed by screen sensors, it's not gaming, it's just pokeing a screen that has a senory array. Now if they made a great fluid VR type game, ok, that would be revolutionary. But the DS touchscreen will just be a kid's tuch n pway type thing.

Does DS even have controllers? It better. I don't want to circle the enemy to attack or anything like that because I would get bored fast from the low strategy required since the game would basically do the work for you. Where would the fun be in that?

Though now that I think of it, wouldn't be bad for a war strategy type like Warcraft. Better than clicking the mouse and more precise and time saving on those quick decisions.

Well it's not like every game only uses the touch screen. For example in Spiderman 2 all it's mainly used for is to switch which special attack you're using, and everything else is used with buttons.  But there are a lot of games that try to push the fact that you can touch the screen to play. The advertising is all "Look! Touch screen! WOW!!" Later on there will probably be more games that are less focused on the touch screen.

Post by: Snake Eater on March 08, 2005, 06:29:56 AM

Mario 64 DS=Game that you don't really use the touch screen

Asphalt Urban GT=Racing game that doesn't really the touch screen

Metroid Prime: Hunters=Sweet first person shooter that you don't really need to use the touch screen if you don't want to

Mario Kart DS=Mario Kart game that will only use the touch for a map(I think)
And Much more. :D

and thats thereason wy the PSP has difrent type of battery not AA or AAA u just need the one it brings wit the charger icluded and still the PSP will be better is #1 in Japan  for now ( Mini Disk are better than cartridges)  :bend:

Post by: Moosetroop11 on March 08, 2005, 04:18:48 PM

... I see both sides of this argument... I don't think it will work if they use the touch screen for the sake of using the touch screen, they really have to have a good use for it.

Thanks man, I haven't laughed like that in ages. (Well, at on my computer. Much to the disgust of bystanders.)

MT11, the touchscreen, is, you understand, going to be massively over-advertised. I couldn't see it folding out any other way. But it is cleverly incorporated. Unless, of course, colouring in your game screen isn't manly enough for you XD.

Title:
Post by: Darkfox on March 08, 2005, 08:22:25 PM

Too many whined about the NES controllers causing blisters, which they did. But... it did toughen the fingers.

As I mentioned, the touch screen would be very useful for a top view war strat like CnC or Starcraft. I can't see such a feature incorprated in a sideview scroller since it would take the fun out of the strategy. For real-time War games this would be awsome, touch the unit, touch where it goes, to drag a box over multiple units just drage your finger across. That would greatly increase speed and accuracy.

But uh, the control is a lot more comfortable for platformers and fighting games and dungeon crawlers and RPGs.

P.S.

Yoshi Touch & Go - "Uhhhh... the title sounds a bit... disturbing..."

Not a single person I know would find that disturbing. They would just laugh at it. be it a loud laugh, or just a chuckle, it's funny.

I...want to a lil bit, actually.

the psp, in my opinion, will be good, but I believe the ds will be better.  I still have yet to try the psp, but from what I read, the DS is better.  I hear that the psp will burn the batteries about twice as fast.  Anyway, this is yet to be proven wrong.  We'll find out on the 24th wont we.

P.S - So far, I think the DS has better games.  Except Metroid.  It took me like 20 minutes to figure out how to shoot.  NEVER put the shoot button on one of the R or L button's on a handheld.  ITS MADNESS!!  oh shoot, i gotta do my geometry homework.  when are we ever gonna use proofs in real life?  stupid..geometry creator...guy...

Post by: Osmose on March 09, 2005, 11:00:21 AM

It's true that minidisks can store more than a cartridge(although the DS is pretty fuggin revolutionary with cartridges the size of cheezits), but because of their disky-ness, they have loading times. Loading times on a handheld will definately be wierd. And no one likes a game with huge loading times.

Oh, and the new Nintendo controller with rounded edges was awesome, if only for the fact that it matched the uber-cool Nintendo 2.
