Quote:Sony relies on third parties for most of its PSP lineup. Are third parties fully there yet? Will the PSP be as strongly supported as past Sony consoles? The jury is not back in yet, you know. Don't pretend like it is.
What an incredibly ignorant thing to say. Just about every third-party out there is signed up for PSP development, and the launch lineup shows how great it is. Your logic baffles me.
Quote:And the DS just doesn't have quite as bad a released lineup as you say... I'm sure more than two games are worth buying.
The only other game that's almost worth buying is Feel the Magic. That's it.
Quote:But as I said... it's spring! You shouldn't be expecting more than a few decent games per month for ANY platform. The PSP is just an exception because it's launching. After launch it should get a bit more normal.
Hey guess what? The system launched in the fall!
Quote:The GB had plenty of good games. Just ones that often weren't quite as great as their NES cousins. But still, that doesn't make them bad games! Definitely not! And anyway, it meant that instead of ports we got new games... always nice (nicer than ports), even if they are only 80 or 90% as good as the NES titles were.
Did I say "bad"? No. I said "very few good games".
Quote:At least older tech forces different games. Ones more designed for that platform. And in this current generation, I also like how the DS actually has some 2d games... as opposed to PSP which I'm sure will be 99% 3D. 2d works very well on handhelds. 3d has more problems, given the small images... and I like 2d gaming and don't want it to totally go away. It's been great to see Nintendo support the DS with a bunch of 2d titles.
Correction: 3D games look terrific on the PSP. The screen is fucking HUGE. Just wait until you see one in person. The DS is more welcoming to 2D because of the unique hardware, and because it doesn't do 3D nearly as well as the PSP.
Quote:As for DS games... Yoshi's Touch n Go looks cool, for another (new) title.
Yeah, it's gotten some good reviews. I'll get it... eventually.
