so what exactly is bad about this thing? i played one in a best buy and thought it was pretty cool, and i hated the ds lite, HATED.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #181 on:** June 01, 2011, 01:51:59 AM »

well it's basically the same old problems which have affected new consoles for generations. High price tag and lack of software.

I'm sure 3DS will be worth owning in a couple of years.

Am I to believe that the final version will be downgraded from the screenies we've seen before tho

The Sceneman · « **Reply #185 on:** June 01, 2011, 02:28:33 AM »

So why aren't people buying Nintendo's new system? As part of a survey conducted last month, Goo Research asked its monitors the reason they haven't bought the 3DS. It posted the results of the 1,110 person (39.5% male, 60.5% female) survey at Goo Ranking today.

Sony is not ruling out the use of 3D technology for PlayStation small-screen devices such as NGP, the company has said.

Yet the firm told Develop that its current strategy for the PSP successor is to build a “pure gaming device”.

Mick Hocking, the director of Sony WorldWide Studios’ 3D team, told Develop that small-screen 3D technology is “rapidly improving”.

“The amount of new 3D mobile devices at this year’s CES show is evidence of that,” he said. “As small screen 3D improves we may be able to deliver these high quality 3D experiences on smaller screens."

if Sony shoe horn an OPTIONAL 3D screen into the PSP2 then they have a real chance of burying the 3DS.

I don't find it likely for PS Vita launch,but for some future iteration definitely...good thing about 3D--it has to be optional

PS Vita 2000 3D

Nintendo kinda jumped the gun in this case,portable 3D is a very easy thing to copy--just release some model with 3D screen,done.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #194 on:** June 01, 2011, 05:22:13 AM »

I can't imagine them pushing in a 3D screen if they're cutting back on RAM

Herr Mafflard · « **Reply #195 on:** June 01, 2011, 05:27:53 AM »

wow what a massive downgrade for RE. Those original shots were probably the only thing that got me excited about the 3DS hardware.

Let's be honest, the 3D was always gonna be a gimmick, and if that's indicative of the graphics quality of one of its best looking games then... no thanks. What reason is there in owning a 3DS over a PSP?

is it really that simple? don't game need to be done in 3D to begin with? i don't think they can just start to re-release games in 3D after a while....

Yes,but they don't have to re-release.It would be just like any new PS360 3D game,if you have 3D TV you can play in 3D if not play in 2D.

magus · « **Reply #198 on:** June 01, 2011, 05:53:59 AM »

i tought each game needed some 3d coding or something? like could you play uncharted in 3D now even if it was released well before all this 3d bullshit began?

maxy · « **Reply #199 on:** June 01, 2011, 06:21:08 AM »

I was thinking about new games.3D needs some extra coding but nothing complicated,if you have the grunt.

Lots of 3D TVs have 2D->3D transformation,not as good as native 3D but who cares.

I dunno about PS3, pretty sure they just release patches to optimise for 3D viewing, there still needs to be some sorta software running to enable 3D viewing but it doesn't require a game already modelled and renderred in a 3D engine to be optimised. For instance, there's lots of games on PC you can play with NVidia's 3d vision thingie that aren't optimised for 3D viewing but work because 3D is inherently there, though this usually results in things like nice 3d landscapes popping out at you accompanied by a boring flat skybox, so games still definitely benefit from optimisation. So yeah, usually a game would just require a small patch to enable 3D.

Sony got one thing right with the NGP, they know that to compete against mobile phones they have to present added value to the customer in the form of big budget AAA titles and AAA graphics if they want to charge premium prices, I don't know if it will pay off, but they got the right idea.

Nintendo really doesn't get the market it seems.

Damian79 · « **Reply #216 on:** June 03, 2011, 06:09:09 AM »

Wow they must have splurged all the polygon budget on the faces of MGS peacewalker.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #217 on:** June 03, 2011, 06:10:18 AM »

2 of these games are $40, one is $5.

Two companies got it right, one didn't.

Two are on handhelds that can only play games, one is on a phone.

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #221 on:** June 03, 2011, 06:36:45 AM »

Well to be fair, MGS3 is 10 times better than both games. I'd gladly drop $40 if it wasn't for the HD collection.

I'm going with shitty stream screencaps on this one, sorry. We've already seen videos of that demo in action...it looks great. Both RE titles and that upcoming Labrynth game seem to be the showcase titles for the 3DS.

But if Capcom can get RE looking that great on 3DS, it's only gonna get much better on the new PSP.

That screen is 800x480. The 3DS's screen is 400x240. So I guess it should look like this:

As I expected, it still looks like shit, but at least we're kicking the 3DS in the spleen *fairly* now.

Looks much better tbh. NGP res should have been slightly higher imho, like the new HTC Sensation phone.

you know,when i say it,it sounds like i'm being a creepy japanophile but i never understood those guys making joke like that

i mean they are anime character,they have no age! this remind me a whole fallacy with an atelier game where the japanese site dictated the main character was 15 but the american one said 18 to avoid any dissense

and they could do that because as i said anime character have no age other than whatever numbers between 15 and 20 (or 200 if they decide so) the creator decide to slap to them

and of course it's stupid that there are tits and ass flying everywhere,but comic creator do the same and nobody ever complains,i call a double standard!

oh i understand that but reading all of the "oh japan..." comment on neogaf sometimes it seems i'm the only one i understand that

of course when later on they ban dead or alive then everybody gets to rage on and stops being "oh japan...."
