Dude, it doesn't matter how much money you have in the bank. Nintendo sucks at console design because they aim way too low.
Like I originally suspected, the original DS design apparently was just a 66Mhz ARM9 CPU feeding a 256x192 single screen. This was back when PowerVR was pimping the MBX everywhere.
But at the same token, I think Sony aims way too high (IMO, PSP's chips are couple years too early: They should have been relased for sub .05 micron process). PSP will suffer in battery performance until the fab process catches up with the PSP chips' power dissipation.
I still think the ideal portable for early 2005 should have been a 3.5" 320x240 16bit LCD screened, 200Mhz ARM9 supporting a 100Mhz PowerVR MBX with 16MB of RAM and a none-optical ROM for around $130 or less.

At this point the PSP better suck your dick in return for that lip service!

Flagship title is a port. Ridge Racer. Animal Crossing. But then you got non N64 ports like GBA ports like Warior Ware. And don't forget N64 version of Mario Kart too. Then you have sweet direct from GBA to DS ports like URBZ. Now lets get Nintendo to drop the price in March to 99 bucks so I can grab one.

I blame the fucktards who repurchased 'classic' Nintendo games by the millions in place for new Nintendo games. They instilled it in Nintendo's brain that rehashing is the thing to do. Now I honestly hope the DS will fail, so that Nintendo will wake the fuck up and stop doing 5+ Year old ports. Shift those resources into more NEW and INNOVATIVE titles. Honestly, I'd have no problem if it weren't holding fresh content back, BUT Nintendo's actually holding back the games non-Nintenerds will be interested in to rehash.
It makes me sick.

PSP Ridge Racer looks fantastic no doubt. But the verdict is still in on whether it's a good game. Remember, RR64 has already proven to be a cult classic. Brilliant level design and fun gameplay are part of the package. My only concern is the limited visuals on RRDS. I'm positive NST could've gotten more out of the hardware. Just look at Metroid Hunters.
well, sony is a semiconductor company primarily, they just have better integrated solutions for microchips and fabrication processes.Mrbob said:
nintendo would have to work with an external partner to design something.
secondly, anyone can build/design the technology with enough money, but to sell it at a competitive price is another issue.
cant nintendo build a high powered handheld with Motorola, Toshiba or Samsung backing them up next year? sure they can, but it'll cost $500.
the price Sony is selling their technology at, nintendo couldnt have matched it presently, but they can build a powerful handheld and sell it two years later when the technology will become much more affordable for them to sell it at a reasonable price (i still doubt they'd sell it at $200, if it wasnt for Sony).
why do you think the gamecube came out later? by then the technology itself was cheap enough for them to produce and sell it at a reasonable price. Sony gave you a powerful console early on and sold it at a reasonable price, precisely because they can afford to.

"Gameplay in this take on the Ridge Racer franchise was, above anything else, slidey. Cars took turns with the backend waving to the front end before the fishtail whipped back around. Namco's brand of high-speed racing has always been known for its power-packed power-slides, but the feel seemed a bit extravagantly slippery, but control is still tight -- the slides were still controllable, and with the car we were given to race, the traction kicked in for us just in time for us to pull the car back around and jet off into a straight-away."

"Playing with the bonnet-cam view (the only one available in the demo), we found that New Ridge Racer did a good job of creating a sensation of speed as we raced around a course that was reminiscent of many of those in previous Ridge Racer titles. The sweeping corners were perfect for sliding around (which was easy to do well, even using the PSP's directional pad), there was a tunnel to speed through, a large bridge to cross, and some neat visual touches, including flashbulbs going off in the crowd at the start/finish line, a low-flying plane overhead, and non-race traffic on the other side of the barrier in the tunnel."

Played Wario Ware GC for 2 hours tonight with 3 others. It was fun.
The DS RR is mainly just lacking in art direction...
throw some fog/haze, some flairs, foux specular lighting, camera angles, etc. and it could be up to par... Just push it a little more than Asphalt (I know the DS can handle more, Asphalt has these and never stutters below 60 fps)
spice up the cars a bit and bam ... it's not so hard to make fun of.
I wonder how long it's been in development, anyone got shots of the 64 version???
I love my DS and wanna try out the 'touch' control ... but damn, the RR PSP will be sex in my hands ... even if it's boring and just sits there.

Grubdog said:I prefer the look of the DS game, the PSP one looks too detailed and there are probably times when you won't know whether to turn left or right because there's so much annoying detail in the way.
PSP Ridge Racer looks more realistic, but I don't think it looks better. I dunno, i'm weird, I just don't care for graphics much anymore.

Lock these guys in a room, they'll destroy the world with hilarity.
these guys definitely dont need drugs to get high, thats for sure. i still remember seismo/gigadent prasing that cell shaded sony skating game over JGR for allowing you to double jump.
"and when i press the jump button while in air, he goes higher!!!11"

I was kinda skeptical about DS being the response to PSP...Now I understand better where it comes from...Shit Nintendo...wasn't so hard to do a decent GBA 2 ?
yeah now they will just steal technology from PSP and make a better GBA2.
Much easier to let Sony do all the R&D.

Actually I consider it one of the best behind Rage Racer and R4. And it received very good reviews, so you're just talking out your ass.BeOnEdge said:

graphics make the game
graphics don't make a game, but is there any doubt we will get both graphics and gameplay in the psp version? What would make you assume the Ds would have better gameplay? Honestly some posts here are a joke. Humans are genetically programmed to like the more attractive things. Studies have proven this with babies staring more at beautiful women rather than the less attractive ones. So why would anyone want the DS version of this game over PSP (unless they are diehard Nintendo fanboys)?

why presume the psp version will be the better game. U don't know that. And your analagy that babies like looking at beautiful women has absolutely nothing to do with games
anyway I dont like racing games so won't buy either
MrPing1000 said:
There's a lot of reasons to presume this!
RRDS is a port of RR64. RR64 is a heaping pile of shit. This is one reason for the assumption! It is a good assumption to make!
RRDS is being made by NST. NST is not that good at all! Your opinions on their games aside, they are porting RR64 to Nintendo DS. RR64 sucks shit, as I said! So it's a recipe for disaster!
Ridge Racers (PSP) is being made for Namco. It's a mostly new game! It features tracks from many of the best games in the series and implements some new features that you may or may not like. Point is, it has a whole lot better chance of being good than the heaping pile of horse shit that was RR64! So the assumption is good!

I'm mostly interesting in checking out this new analog steering. Besides that I dont see a reason to get either game. If I want just normal Ridge Racer I'd much rather play the console version on a large screen TV.
