Both of the Rogue Galaxy pictures are from the CG cinemas, though the game itself looks quite nice (like a PS2 game, but quite nice).
When the presentation first started though, everyone thought it was a PS3 game and it looked like THAT. If they can pull that off in real-time (and given how powerful the PS3 is, that doesn't seem out of the question), Level 5 is going to be the most popular developer in the world next generation.

Vid from the press conference shows a demonstration. It's a direct download through the new firmware web browser onto memory stick. They have a site (portable TV) that will host the downloads.Fight for Freeform said:
I'm hoping this bodes well for legitimate game/software downloads to memstick as well, sometime in the near future.
Ugh, that video kills me. Looks like it will be great with web pages formatted for it's size. The big question is how will it handle pages designed for 800x600 screens (ie, the rest of the internet). It could work well if they use the same kind of page-scaling technology Opera uses.
H.264 video looks fantastic, too.
There's still no way it's worth updating the firmware. But it's just enough to make me squirm.

Eh. Dunno. I have a laptop and cellphone which can view webpages.. Not really gonna carry around a PSP with what would most likely have an interface that is already done better for handheld browsing.
Personally, I'd much rather see Nintendo release a browser addon in a GBA cart or something. DS could do it very well (hopefully).

what mutant memory stick writes a 200MB file that fast?SolidSnakex said:
200MB in 12 seconds?

It wasn't actually a 200MB file. The file that was downloaded was a smaller file specially prepared for the event.

Is it me or the Ps3 shown at the PS Meeting looks a bit flatter (in horizontal)?
It's amazing how the subtle improvements (chrome BRD face/lining, seemingly less convex) make it look so significantly sexier, at least imo. Not that I didn't like the look of it previously, but man does that look slick now.
Anyway, I am really psyched for the browser (and the rest of the new features). I hope we get it for the US at the same time of the Japanese release, or at least within a day. Obviously, if you have a laptop, this feature (as well as pretty much any multimedia feature) may not be as significant, but I don't have a laptop, and just the idea of checking out GAF or any of my other regular online stops before bed, or at a resteraunt, or whatever, is just awesome to me.
The primary value of the PSP browser will most likely be in its abilities as a built-in download center for the device, to grab PSP-specific videos, music and hopefully software and other downloadable content.Zeo said:
But I like how you seem to prefer portable web browsing on just about any device BUT a PSP.

Insane For Sony
Damn, those new upgrades sound really nice, but I just can't give up on all the emulators and homebrew stuff I've accumulated over the last month.

Like a cell phone?jarrod said:Maybe he just prefers devices with intuitive (for browsing) interfaces?
(Don't pretend it's a treo)I agree that the DS should do better, but the resolution of the two systems might be the the most important factor, IMO. Even moreso than using a touch interface, although I do hate virtual keyboards.
What are the resolutions of the two systems?

DS's horizontal resolution is really small, and that's what's most important for web pages rendering. Even 480 is not that great, but I think you can get good results by just scaling everything down 2x while keeping text scaled down to a bit smaller degree.
DS is just not a good option for web page displaying, IMO. Anyone concerned with input interface should just get a PDA for handhled web browsing. Any Pocket PC, even those with 320x240 res, will do a better job than DS.

If only they decided to go with black or white model as standard instead of silver one. They looked so damn good in real life, and silver one just wasn't as good looking. Sigh... Well, I guess they'll release them eventually.

Don't get your hopes up - DCharlie's track record with the insider information has been pretty spotty.It's okay though, we're both back door men.
Marconelly said:
This is true. I guess Sony will have to pull an Apple too. But there's still no firm information on launch color schemes and proportions of PS3s made in each color, is there? But it isn't the biggest problem to me; it's the use of glossy plastic, which annoys me to no end when used in other devices, be they PSPs or iPods. I hope Sony rethinks this part of the PS3.

Hey I've been wondering...People were talking about blank UMDs being announced at Sony's E3 2005 press conference. Was that news real or fake? What's the deal?
I dunno, the order seemed rather clear. I'd responded to SCB and you responded to me. Why bring up that Blackberries are cellphones if not for SCB's original distinction between regular cells and Palm/PPC hybrids?kaching said:
Well, he got Ridge Racer right. Hear Microsoft's the source for both rumors.kaching said:
You brought it up, I just pointed out that if Zeo had meant blackberry, he probably would have said that instead of "cellphone".jarrod said:
