Makes you wonder... what is the passion and pride these guys take on their work? I mean, the chances are that the poor guys responsible for the recent EA portable crapfest are lurking here and seeing all the mocking and laughing - deserved.
I guess it's just management by Excel and Project. They punch in the dates from their management and do whatever they can by that date. Whenever it's not good, no chance that the producer would delay the game to polish it, just ship it and forget.
While occasionally I've been tempted to send a CV over just to get to see the process in practice, I cannot participate in the creation of a product which is not driven by passion and drive for excellence.

You mean the 2D three sprites they lifted from the Genesis version?

? I just mean that here is an example of a (likely) DS launch title. Interested consumers in DS or PSP would be wise to make comparisons among the two.
Super Mario 64x4 has better graphics than the original (more geometry, faster framerate), extras (multiplayer), and presumably "on(no)line" (as I'm certain you'll be able to play the multiplayer wirelessly).kpop100 said:

Oh ok, I think I got confused. I recalled that there was some poster that would spin anything EA creates, or even was their company man.
These screens do not, however, lower my interest in DS in general. I've got it in preorder and look forward to the first-party games, Sega's XX-XY and the Atlus surgery game. And I'll get PSP, too, in any case. But as for EA getting any portable money from me, no way. Burnout 3 on Xbox is fine for me.

Umm, which version did you play? If you've played something newer than the E3 version, then I can't prove you wrong, but the E3 version wasn't faster IIRC (it was all I had time to play at the show, everyone was hogging MP: Hunters).
I have not played a post-E3 version, but I have heard impressions indicating that it runs at 60 FPS, whereas the original only ran at 30.DJ Demon J said:
Besides, even if Mario DS only did run at 30 (although I'm pretty certain it is 60), it's still pushing more geometry than the original.

I haven't played it, but everyone else seems to think it's 60fps, which the original certainly wasn't.

I don't really think that's being fair.
That indictment seems overly harsh directed at a company who's committing to having multiple titles available at the launch of two separate handheld gaming platforms that are being released very close to each other. Seeing as EA seems to be partnering fairly closely with both Nintendo and Sony to ensure these launches have sufficient content, I wouldn't be so sure that its strictly EA's project managers that are cracking the whip here.Chittagong said:

I'm surprised nobody's noted that EA traditionally has one of the worst signal-to-noise ratios on portables. The only GBA title from them I actually enjoyed was Medal of Honor: Infiltrator, which didn't get enough attention because everyone assumed it was poor just like all of EA's other GBA titles.
I think we're just seeing the continuation of the GBA tradition on the DS, while EA uses PS2 material for the PSP version.

There's no good reason for it using what appears to be a Mode 7-type engine on a system that can do better than N64-quality 3D.

i think it looks better than that Hot Shots game for PSP, if only because the blockyass character model reminds me of Fusilli Jerry.

I definately agree with this. C'mon, what would you rather?
Beautiful looking 2d games or Bland looking 3d games.
I mean...it's golf...how much does it gain by being 3d???????

This upsets me now because I realize that Nintendo should've put more effort into the 3D components for the system. It's ashame because in another year when the PSP is ripping it apart on a visual level Nintendo will be kicking themselves.
evilromero said:
Wait a second...you mean, the PSP is going to last a year?
All kidding aside, the 3D capabilities in MP:H and SM64x4 are in no way poor. This shit, though?
As I said before, they're trying to port a game which looks good on the PS2 to a system that need more in the way of style, not this crap. I mean, really, I'd say MG:AT kicks its ass.

I wonder how faithful a conversion of Virtua Fighter would be on this thing? Snap to it, Sega!
