Sorry if old...

Single Player

Co-op & Versus Multiplayer

Looks surprisingly good I think, especially the single player (though the blown up screens don't help the multi).

 

[Espio]

Wow, that looks really good.

 

[Zer0]

for a n64,yes,look good

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Looks surprisingly-good...for that shitty hardware anyway.

Looks like he's hefting around an unconscious Swamp Thing.

 

[Drinky Crow]

Wow, it's like I'm playing a PSOne in handheld form!

 

[Vark]

note the wifi indicator in the upper left.

 

[mr_sockochris]

Here's the pics in the proper resolution:

Well graphically it's good enough for me, but it's the DS features that are the deal breaker. There's no point getting it if it doesn't do anything that the console version don't already do better.

 

[suikodan]

They could at least use both screen for 3D. One for your player and the other to display the location of your friend, or a view from a Sticky Cam, etc...

I'm a bit deceived by those screen.

 

[Amir0x]

Yeah, this doesn't look half bad at all.

 

[JasoNsider]

Wow, it's like I'm playing a PSOne in handheld form!

Wow, didn't see that one coming...

I'm sure you'll get tired of this schtick some day though.

 

[Drinky Crow]

Not bloody likely, little duder!

 

[Striek]

That looks awesome (for DS) as far as I'm concerned.

I still think it will play like shit, however.

 

[Nester]

note the wifi indicator in the upper left.

I would hope it uses wireless for multiplayer Co-Op and Versus.

 

[mr_sockochris]

I would hope it uses wireless for multiplayer Co-Op and Versus.

It does, hence the screens of co-op AND versus

 

[Nester]

It does, hence the screens of co-op AND versus

I know this, I'm just commenting on the fact he pointed out that the wireless indicator is on the screens. What else would it use for multiplayer other then wireless?

 

[Jared Goodwin]

This looks...exactly like Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory on the N-Gage.

Is Gameloft just porting this or something?

I don't think you remember how it looked on Ngage

 

[MadOdorMachine]

Good Lord. DS is teh mature.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Looking good (never mind what Drinky says).

 

[Jared Goodwin]

I don't think you remember how it looked on Ngage

I guess I didn't. :lol

Wasn't bashing on the DS, anyway. I liked the N-Gage version.

 

[Father_Brain]

Looks pretty good - I also don't see very much of the pixelated textures we usually see in 3D DS games.

 

[Jibber Hack]

Wow, nice. I'm still not seeing games that I would play on my DS, but we're getting closer. If I like the bigger console brothers I may even invest in this for DS. I do like what I'm seeing from devs.

 

[Guy LeDouche]

I'm a bit deceived by those screen.

Can both screens display 3D at the same time? I thought it was one screen 3D, one screen 2D because of the ARM set-up.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if I'm wrong.

 

[HCgamer]

Konami reconsiders its stance on not having Metal Gear Solid on DS.

Both can display 3D

Only one screen can do hardware 3D at full framerate. Divide that up any way you like.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Only one screen can do hardware 3D at full framerate. Divide that up any way you like.

We don't really know that, as no game has actually used full 3D on both screens at once (aside from that FMV intro to Prime: Hunters)

 

[captmcblack]

Gameloft 444 lyfe, mofuggaz. :lol

Looking pretty good, actually. I'd want to play this...

 

[jgkspsx]

Er, well... The 3D hardware can only render one image every vertical synchronization cycle (at best, 60Hz). Them's the inarguable hardware limitations. There's no reason software (ala GBA) 3D can't be done on the subscreen, and there's no reason the frame-rate can't be divided, but you can't use hardware 3D on both screens at full framerate.

[Kamtendo]

That looks pretty good....


a) too bad the DS is a piece of shit
or
b) the controls will suck
or
c) if we had travelled back to the primitive 3D of last gen


/half compliment

 

[siege]

Looks quite respectable. Not a fan of Splinter Cell, but if the multiplayer turns out being good, I might give it a look.

 

[Jibber Hack]

Actually Kamtendo that's 1/4 compliment.

 

[Donnie]

I'm looking forward to this game

 

[radioheadrule83]

I'm surprised to see the 1st person / 3rd person VS mode. Very nice. Looks like a good step up from the N gage version. I'm just getting into the SC games on Xbox finally too. This is a dead cert sale for me. That lock pick on bottom screen is one of the first things I imagined when I heard of an SC port too btw.

Screens must always be at the correct size, unless we start emulating the effects of other videogame screens at 240% their normal resolution.

 

[Donnie]

 

[CoryCubed]

If it wasn't for the PSP this would definently be way cooler than it is. Either way for a handheld its pretty good.

 

[seismologist]

This is going to be awesome . Especially multiplayer.

What about Pac n Roll, that has a 3D pacman on the bottom screen? or Viewtiful Joe Scratch, that has full 3D on BOTH screens. I think it more depends on how you want to set it up, and not anything hard-coded into the system.

 

[Mrbob]

Looks good...for the DS. But it still looks archaic for 3D.

Anyway, what is the frame rate?

 

[God's Hand]

Looks cool to me.

 

[Ford Prefect]

Nice graphics. Looks promising.

 

[Roland Hood]

Looks pretty cool to me.

2nd screen looks kind of hypnotizing, though.

 

[Shaheed79]

That little hardware is more capable than I thought it was cause that looks damn decent. Needs puppies though.

 

[demi]

Wow, not bad at all. I might have to swoop this up.

The controls will probably be good since you hardly ever have to run and shoot at the same time.

 

[Sho Nuff]

Ow! My nads!

 

[CamHostage]

I don't think you remember how it looked on Ngage

The Gameloft version also runs a couple of frames an hour. I wasn't impressed at all when I actually got to play it, although I'm not sure how I got to be so jaded about what's being done with a cellphone.

 

[MarkRyan]

A crappy port of a console game (one that's not particularly good anyway)? I'll pass.

 

[ImNotLikeThem]

After seeing these and the Black and White screens, I have to say this is pretty impressive for first-gen games on supposedly N64+ quality hardware. Hardly any over-pixelization in most of the screenshots for either game, and the polygon work seems to be pretty solid too. Hopefully the framerate is good and stable, and this could turn out really nice.

Damn shame about some people. Damn shame.
