NGP (PSP2) announced!

[DigitalDeviant]

Meh, looks awesome, but then again, I bought my PSP only for it's hackability and emulators. Then I lost it. I bought all but a few of my PSP games, and none of them wow'd me, but the homebrew did. Unless it get's hacked, it really won't be worth the time or money.

why do you say that. The features this next gen console are quite impressive. The fact that it has dual analog + touch screen will make gaming much better on the psp2 than what it was on psp.

I think it just ended and there's no pricing for now..

 

[Terenigma]

Its over? no price? no battery life?

 

[ChuckBartowski]

Geuss they are saving the Xperia play for a different event..

 

[nryn99]

Its over? no price? no battery life?

nope i guess.

 

[Wombo Combo]

Hopefully its not "599 USD"

But this is more appealing to me than the 3DS Ill wait till the price goes down on both.

One thing about the games; Sony tends not to deliver on what they preview.

FF VII HD anyone? :3

Hell, the FF VII remake looked gorgeous as could be when it was previewed pre-PS3 launch, yet, the launch titles didn't look nearly as good. In fact, it took a year, maybe two, to really deliver on that level.

I dunno, I just don't get my hopes up from previews. Companies have never delivered what they promise in its entirety, especially the more complicated the device gets.

 

[KingVamp]

It like the wii vs PS3 again. :/

From what I read pretty sweet. I like how it rounded. Need case for this! Man tho I wanted to play my umds on the psp2, oh well. But I am not ready to buy this yet any time soon.

edit: And where the innovation!

So...what have we learned exactly?
Two (real) analogs.
Touch screen
Touch pad
3G/Wifi
Online capabilities and features such as Near.
New Uncharted
Port of Lost Planet maybe.
Port of Monster Hunter Portable 3rd.
Tech demo of how a port would look.

No price.
No battery life.
"We have no new games to announce." from basically every dev to walk up.

I really hope everyone is just keeping quiet.

[EDIT]

Oh, my bad, backwards compatibility with PSP PSN titles.
Possibly confirms some sort of PSP Mode or emulation.
Possibly leading to quick/early PSP Mode hacks.

Yes, I know. As a college student with limited income though... I'm not going to buy this for awhile:

1) Price point = 400 - 600 dollars. I just don't see myself forking over this much money when the 3DS is coming out with titles in the long run that I'll actually like.
2) Shit battery life. I just read that they did not announce the Battery life. Possibly it isn't ready yet.
3) Personal Preference: I won't lie, I have always been a fan of Nintendo. This has clouded my Judgment many a time, but I bought that PSP. It had around 3 - 4 hours of battery, shitty hardware, and it did not have standardized removable storage. It was a mistake considering I had it for three or four months and I never noticed it taking it's leave.

In the long run, I know for a fact that the 3DS with have titles worth my time. The PSP however did not have many that kept me with it. Logically unless proven otherwise, I should not purchase this NGP.

Don'y get me wrong guys, I am excited to see a portable powerhouse, but unless I see some good retail games it will not be worth it to me.

one of those tech demos wasnt really a port. That MGS4 footage was a real time rendered cutscene taken straight from the PS3 version, not downscaled, and it ran at 20FPS. Thats fairly impressive to me. This thing could probably run PS2 games easily.

 

[Terenigma]

Iv learned that you dont need actual gameplay footage of call of duty you can simply flash the words "Call of duty" on a big screen to get fanboys fappin

 

[FireGrey]

Sony: Introducing the Next Gen Portable starting at $1,000

Did they seriosly call it NGP xD
next we will be seeing an NGC.

 

[donelwero]

I'm happy without a PS3. I'm sure I'll be fine without a NGP/PSP2.

I already preordered my 3DS, my first son will be born by the time I get my 3DS, that's ALL I'll need. Not a 3g Game console that can play PORTED games.

 

[DigitalDeviant]

Looks like the psp2 will also have augmented reality

" Showing off some upcoming games. Including Killzone! A "Reality Fighters" title looks hilarious, putting fighters in an augmented reality setting."

 

[o2oxygen]

* 5" OLED screen
* 960x544 screen resolution
* Two analog sticks
* Wifi, 3G, GPS
* "As powerful as the PS3"

with this given features. i wonder how will be the battery life of this so called PSP 2? i still vote for the 3DS. PSP 2 features did not changed my mind

sounds like someone is hiding there jealosy...just kidding. I think competition is great. What I like about sony is that they push tech to the limit.

 

[Snailface]

Interesting. 544X960 That's exactly 4 times* the resolution of the PSP. (so psp emulation will look nice, then!

)

*PSP 272X480

(272X2)*(480X2)=

NGP 544X960

Spoiler

But, of course:
Battery Life=0
Price=Infinity

not as powerful as the PS3. It lacks the ability to render the same amount of polygons. only lighting and physics are on the same level.

 

[murkurie]

Did anyone see on engadget there reporting it has a QuadCore ARM Cortex in it... its probably going to cost alot with all those features
