NGP (PSP2) announced!

[Sterling]

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.

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.

Recently a big swing point for me is if homebrew can be run on a system or not. I don't give a shit about pirating. I have money, and I can buy my games after a little saving up. However, homebrew really makes a system shine where its creators don't want it to (emulators, media players, etc).

ahh, the price the price the price. it's always a problem.

now, will there be an NGP section here?

As far as I care this thing is utter crap.
1) What happened to gaming system?
2) 3G, GPS, and whatever. What is this a phone now?
3) Freaking powerful as hell making me think battery life will be utter crap.
4) Replacement batteries would cost a fortune to buy.
5) 5 freaking inches. Not a handheld anymore.
6) Again freaking powerful as hell making it seem to be very expensive.

What makes you think the batteries are even replaceable? With a 5" touchpanel on the back, I think the battery must be soldiered in like the disposable PSPgo. That'll be a comforting thought if this thing is 3 or 4 hundred bucks.

Although I wouldn't put it that way, I do fundamentally agree in concept:

1) Just how big is the PSP2 going to be? Too big to be pocketable?
2) What's the battery life going to be like given the kind of processing power they're (apparently) going for?
3) How much will all of this cost? It's looking like a Smartphone, and Smartphones are $500-$700.

1- The price is going to be sky high for all the bells and whistles that are in it.
2- The battery life will suck shit because of all the power that's being used.
3- It can't fit in your pocket like my PSP 3000 can.


Also, if there's no form of physical games, I don't care if they're cards or what, but if there isn't, Sony just buttfucked themselves out of A LOT of sales.

1) Just how big is the PSP2 going to be? Too big to be pocketable?

Bigger than the DSi and bigger than a PSP 3000. It's not pocketable.

Funny, people ripped on how clunky and big the Sega GameGear was. Suddenly, it's not looking like a half bad console.

Games on flash media? Check.
No sliding design? Check.
16gb internal mem? Check.
Real analogue sticks? Check.
Dual Analogues? Check.

Looks like they've really learnt from their past mistakes here.
But they might be making another one, the OLED screen.

Unlike your regular LCD screen, a small crack on the air-tight display will cause the organic component of the display to decay.
This was already proven to be a big problem for the GP2X Wiz.

PSP2 games are PS3 compatible

Sorry for my English , does it mean it is possible to run ps3 games on PSP2 ?

5) 5 freaking inches. Not a handheld anymore.

actually about the same size as the original PSP1000, it had alot of free space of to expand the screen to 5' without increasing the width.

I put my ds phat in my pocket a lot. For that matter shouldn't handhelds be pocketable since they are portable.

I do, and the fact is I can fit a 360 game case or a 300 page book comfortably in my jean pocket. Portability means nothing when you have tiny pockets.

I do it. If I go walking around or go to a friends place or whatever, I put it in my pocket. Now, with this, we'll pretty much have to carry it in our hands. So of defeats the purpose of it being PORTABLE. Now, it's just a handheld device.

Too many people aboard the Sony hate train. I personally don't care how shit the battery life will be. It can't be much worse than the 3DS. Sony just needs to expand 3rd party support and they'll be fine. There was nothing particularly wrong the the PSP, except 3rd praty support. This is really sporting some really cool features already.
