Gore I know this is coming from some random nobody on an internet messageboard but I'd have to wager that they wo;; continue the one cart multiplayer in some form. I'd be suprised actually if they didn't. Though it's rarely supported it'd be a step back in the publics eye if they did that.

I just wanted to say: It looks nice. Good improvement over the earlier demos. I'll start to sway away from my assertion that the PSP will shit all over this, if they can keep the games looking clean and these screens and the improvement from a few months ago over the old demos suggest that the DS has some tricks up it's sleeve.

I know that matters but I got this hunch that the sheep will flock to the pretty graphics if Sony does it right and just says, 'Look!' *shows a few clips* and posts a sub $200 price point.

I sure hope not. Either Sony will be losing a whole lot or Nintendo will be very greedy.

I know it's funny but if they did, nobody could refuse. That's all I'm saying. Well, I would but that's a different story.
My point is, it's fuckin crazy to think about buying a portable for more than $200. Sony has got to know that. That's fuckin suicide. I can't imagine they'll be that dumb. Or maybe I'm just making ASSumptions.

i think the Japanese fan base will get it up the chuff (39,800 yen - 49,800 range) , in order to give a $299 and 299 GBP launch.

Just coming back to the issue of the second screen...I would assume that one of the primary functions (judging by the implied importance of this passage) would be to issue the player ( through cinema screens during gameplay) flashbacks that slowly explain the backstory of your confused state. That, in combination with the hud like touchscreen commands that I suggested earlier in this thread, would be a pretty cool function.

Insane For Sony
Eyes pop-out thinking how much money Sony would be losing per unit sold if they go with $250 price tag. To think that Pocket PCs with a fragment of technology that goes into PSP - sell for almost twice as much...

Wouldn't that be a little difficult to pull off? Especially when you have to consider you'd have to transmit all of that information from just one source? I'm not entirely sure how fast DS LAN/Wireless capabilities are, but they'd have to send a ton of information and store it in RAM for that to work. Sure, the increased memory will help keep the games from being as simplistic as they were for the GBA 1-cart multiplayer, but considering that the newer games will likely feature upscaled graphics/game-mechanics, it'd be pretty much the same thing, just a little prettier. I doubt they'd be able to have any serious multiplayer options available if they decide to utilize the 1-cart multiplayer route.

It just NOW turned personal? You've been projecting onto me since the start of this and revealed your hand completely when you talked about me arriving at the "absolute worst conclusion". Generally, you're a little more objective than this.jarrod said:

Here's the initial reply from that message I sent last night:
Interesting comment about the "with correct programming you don't have any graphical glitches." The frame-rate comment is really nice as well.
Cheers, guys.

Wow, from the sound of it DS may really suprise us with its graphical capabilities. Here's hoping we get some actual media from Nintendo in the coming weeks.

That isn't "odd" at all. Handheld 2D games are generally small enough that there could not possibly BE any IQ problems to complain about. 3D is finally coming into play, so there is obviously going to be a shift in how people analyze handheld visuals. It isn't the PSP, it's the shift to 3D for handhelds...

DS is not THAT underpowered people, it's the PSP that is too powerful for its own good

Nothing bettter than a good shooter for the first games.
I hope these developers make it well, but a wlan conectivity looks promising.
I want to see gameplay screens indeed

...but it was an issue. PSOne was KNOWN for having absolutely AWFUL image quality and you'd be hard pressed to find someone who disagreed with that. Of course, all three of the core systems had awful image quality last gen. Saturn was even worse than PSX in most cases while N64 was just a blurry mess. All three were flawed.
PS2 is also well known for having inconsistant image quality, but that generally refers to screen resolution more than anything. It isn't as if PS2 games are suddenly lacking any sort of texture filtering or something.
The image quality complaints aimed at the DS have little in common with the PS2. People are complaining about different things...and those complaints really are valid.

Because some people see the DS has a souped GBA even though it's more akin to an N64. Maybe this kind of power for a handheld is a little to late (too year ago would have been a perfect timing with a GBA released in 1998)
Meanwhile I think the PSP is maybe too powerful for an 2004/2005 handheld. I would have wait after the PS3 release to launch and use the scalable CELL cpu that cost me a few billions $$$ to make.
And I don't know whyI said that. (maybe i'm bored)
^^ all those are IMHO
edit : and with that i turn this thread into another DS Vs. PSP and i dont want to.
