Madden 2005 for DS. New Nintendo DS movie

Mrbob:

> How does this look in motion?

It doesn't look prettier if that's what you mean. Obviously you have lots of pixel popping all over the place but it looks very smooth.

> The pics on EAs Madden DS page look horrid though.

The pics are heavily compressed. I've seen cleaner screens that look quite a bit better.

> Looks like a pixillated mess of a PSONE game.

That's the point filtering.
 
I don't want to turn this into a big PSP versus DS debate, but the widescreen the PSP employs makes me more excited for PSP Madden versus DS Madden. Forget the graphics and touchscreen for a second. In normal Madden games the game zooms out for passing plays because of the 4:3 screen. And it is sometimes hard to see the receivers flanked all the way to the outside (Same could be said with ESPN as well). Now with the widescreen of the PSP, you should be able to practically fit the whole field on the screen meaning you should be able to see those outside receivers as easily as the inside ones. We'll see what happens though.
 
Remeber how awesome PS1 games look on the LCD screen? This will have the same effect for 3D on a portable. It's gonna look better than the PS1 Madden just because the screen is much smaller.

Well... I haven't seen the PS1 LCD myself but one thing to consider is that the DS screen has a lower resolution. The lower the resolution the bigger a problem you have with pixel popping.

I remember that. Unfortunately that was in 1999 that I was excited about that.

I can't believe I used to play 3D games that looked so damn bad. Yikes. Makes me appreciate all the more what we have now!

No doubt. I defy anyone to fire up a PS1 Madden right now and make it through an entire game without getting a headache.

Aw, sure you do. Everybody does. Just look at every PSP or DS thread ever made on this forum!

I skipped most of the PS1, N64 generation, and my eyes couldn't be happier.
 
It's a DS launch title.

You think it wasn't rushed?

I can't think of many games that come out during a system's launch period that can honestly be used to fairly gauge the abilities of the lauching hardware.

I wish the DS was a more powerful system.
I'd like to see at LEAST QB Club 98 graphics.

Best football game ever.

Rogue Squadron II
 
I agree. Rogue Leader was an awesome-looking game. But that's an exception, not a rule, particularly on handhelds. Graphically, the GBA launch titles (with the possible exception of Rayman) were thoroughly unimpressive. Just look at the huge leap in technology between Castlevania Circle of the Moon and Harmony of Dissonance.
