Any1 going for the PSP
 
Any1 going to get the new PSP when it's out. I hear it's supposed to run off the shelves when it open's out.

I'm going for DS, but if I get the PSP I guess I will be alright. I have read that there are only 6 games scheduled for the PSP, and a lot of the companies who made games for the PS2, aren't going for the PSP. The only things that the makers of the PSP are advertising is that it can play music videos and dvds. Gameplay isn't too high up there I don't think.

Castrainer July 27th, 2004 9:40 AM

Humm... This should go to the Games Forum...
*calls mod*

But... Im not goin' to get PSP, or even NDS... Ya know, I live in Brazil and our Actual Money is too poor, so I wont stand a chance to buy any new console... Well, better get back playing Kirby Air Ride...

ravenstorture July 27th, 2004 9:42 AM

Kirby Air Ride is really fun. I like that game. PSP may sell more than DS, doubt it though, but if it does the people who buy it are going to be upset if everything I have heard from TechTV and a bunch of other places have said.

Yeah! Its my fave. Gamecube Racing Game...
Darn! Those Lv. 9 Computers Keep using a Gian Plasma Attack on meh and now my Wagon Star is almost destroyed...

Yar right, but I think PSP is a pure imitation of the original GBA... Well, lets see what happen...

Crimson_Blade July 27th, 2004 9:45 AM

I think Kirby Air ride is soso on the scale

Shadow July 27th, 2004 10:07 AM

1) This thread is in the wrong forum. It should be in Other Games.
2) This thread is also going off-topic. The original purpose was to ask if people were going to get the PSP, not whether you liked Kirby's Air Ride or not.
3) I'm not getting the PSP right away. Might wait a while, might never get it. Reasons being:
-The estimated price is $300-$500
-There are no interesting games for it (I want Ape Escape, but I'm not paying $50 for a game I can go buy for less then $20 and play on a big screen)
-It has shorter battery life then the Sega Game Gear (and I dislike rechargable batteries)

Arcanine July 27th, 2004 10:37 AM

OK like said it goes in Other Games.
*Moved*

Crimson_Blade July 27th, 2004 10:57 AM

Who cares. Kirby's Air Ride is on the PSP so it's not like we're gonna start talking about gamecube or something

Mullet July 27th, 2004 11:17 AM

Kirby's Air Ride is not on the PSP. Kirby is owned by HAL which works only for Nintendo so it'd be impossible for a Kirby game to be on a Sony console. And you were talking about Gamecube since that's what Kirby's Air Ride is for >.<

mewruler July 27th, 2004 5:05 PM

My mom said i can get the DS when it comes out thats cool how it can play gameboy games.

bass sp July 27th, 2004 5:44 PM

sony and xbox could be the best sellers or consoles, but nintendo is the king of handhelds. no one could beat nintendo handhelds.

Crimson_Blade July 27th, 2004 5:46 PM

i dont think their really the king i think Microsoft is sorry for the off topic

mewruler July 27th, 2004 5:48 PM

Microsoft i think rules the PC gaming world.

Crimson_Blade July 27th, 2004 5:59 PM

no more like the xbox world mewruler

swordkirby537 July 27th, 2004 6:30 PM

I'm gonna get the DS. I never liked Plastation, I'm a Nintendo fan.

ravenstorture July 27th, 2004 6:34 PM

Nintendo does rule the handheld consoles and neither Sony nor Microsoft(which I don't even think they are planning on a handheld, just putting them here anyway) can come close to everything Nintendo has accomplished and created. Even though I am a Microsoft fan myself, I still have respect for Nintendo, and I love the Gamecube aswell. Hopefully I do get the DS.

kill.harp July 27th, 2004 6:40 PM

If i must to get Advent Children...then yes

John Denver July 28th, 2004 4:05 AM

I aint going for it...no need...DS is what I'm getting. I think PSP will do ok in the first month, then go the way of the N-gage...

Brittany July 28th, 2004 6:34 AM

Go Psp. Die Ds!! lol
 
My opinion:
So what if Nintendo is the leader in handheld games? SONY HAS NEVER MADE A HANDHELD SYSTEM BEFORE. I hope everyones DS's explode when they open the box so they realize that they shoulda gotten a PSP(jk). Nintendo's games are getting more and more childish everyday.

The DS will be comparable to a N64,
while a PSP is comparable to the PS2, plus, the UMDs can hold full length movies(like Final Fantasy VII-AC) so I would choose PSP over DS any day.

So what if DS has two screens? Whooptie-Freakin-Doo. Nobody needs two screens.
Sure, now you will think: two screens is an awsome idea, but really, having two screens has no purpose. The second screen is merely a map or a menu. BIG DEAL.

The PSPs screen will be very large(for watchin ur movies) and it has all the buttons of a PS2 controller. Having all the buttons is so simple, that Nintendo was dumb-enough not to do it. They even have a small circular pad on the PSP to use as a joystick.

The game list for DS is large, but they are all childish two-year-old games.
Super Mario 64x4? :laugh:
Donkey Kong? :laugh:
More Sonic? :laugh:

People, grow up! Those games are like Pac-Man, all you do is run around doing the same exact thing over and over again for no apparent reason. And I refuse to spend over $15 on boring repetative gaming like that!

PSP all the way!! We need a new leader in Handheld gaming!!

^PSP will be able to support graphics like this. Try that Nintendo.

Shadow July 28th, 2004 6:53 AM

PSP does not have PS2 graphics. It has below PS2 graphics. DS has graphics better then N64. Both of their graphics are near Next-Gen graphics but not quite there.

[sarcasm]And oh yes, I'm going to go pay more money then I did for the Playstation 2 for a system that forces me to have yet another movie format and doesn't have as good graphics and the only good games for it announced are old Playstation 1 games, and can only play them for 2-3 hours.[/sarcasm]

And ooh look at these near PS2 graphics for the Game Boy Advance

Brittany July 28th, 2004 7:02 AM

Key words buddy
 
I said COMPARABLE!! Learn how to read(jk). That GBA Picture is a Cinimatic from KH-CoM not in-game footage.
DS has graphics that are slightly better than N64.
PSP has graphics that are slightly worse than PS2.

It does not force. Some people still use only VHS today cuz they dont want a DVD player. Having a new movie format comes with the production of the UMD.

HMMMM.... That P.O.S. DS cartridge costs MORE than a UMD but no movies.


[sarcasm]The DS is the greatest thing since sliced bread. And the games announced for DS suck monkey balls and they are just remakes of N64 games. The PSP is only better because they will be porting the best PS1 games PLUS they will have remakes of PS2 games. [/sarcasm]

Buddy, all the DS games that have been announced are just two-year-old games, or remakes of two-year-old games.

Chairman Kaga July 28th, 2004 7:54 AM

Oh jeez, don't go fangirl on us all, and on top of it all you've done it in multiple topics. I know sony has warped some peoples' minds into thinking that all other game systems and the people who play them are inferior, but SURPRISE! We're not...I know there's no way to make you listen to anyone else than sony, but I can't stand fanboy/girl-ism in any form when it comes to video games.

So you’ve mentioned the stats of the PSP and have done your duty and demonized the DS into making it sound like a handheld Atari, but despite your malevolent ranting, I suppose you don’t realize the most important factor in the success of a game: personal preference. All of your “DS SUXXORXZ!!!!11111dienintendo”-ing amounts to nothing. The PSP is technically better than the DS, but that doesn’t matter. Let’s see some of the responses that would be in your next reply:

“UR JUS DEFNDNG A CRAPPY SYSTEMDIENINTENDO!!!!!!!1111”

Actually, I’m not. I’m not exactly crazy about the DS myself, but I can’t stand to see someone bash a system like that. Apparently you have no understanding of the DS and just love to sling around your sony-instilled hatred of everything non-sony.

“NINTENDOSUX ALL THERRR GAMES IS CHILDISJHHJHHH!!!!11116”

Come on now, don’t say that if you don’t know the first thing about nintendo’s games. Haters don’t even bother to see what games the competitors have, and it looks like you haven’t either. You incite Mario and Donkey Kong as the paragons of nintendo’s crappiness...excuse me? I believe you’re mentioning two of their most popular franchises. They’re not kiddy, might I add, it’s just the perception of the PS2 people who are hardened on all the Grand Theft Auto and Hitman games that say things like that...now all the PS2 people bash the GCN people because Mario doesn’t kill people and hire prostitutes in all his games...we stick to what we know is quality, we don’t need all the extra blood and gore to sell games. Again, it comes down to personal preference, and if you’re going to flame people for their personal preference, it just makes you a lesser person for doing so.

“NFEEEERRIOORRR gRAFXIZZZZXZZX!”

So what? Really, so what? The DS is for people who don’t have $500 to shell out for the PSP. You might be made of money, but most of us here aren’t. I personally don’t care about graphics, and anyone who is buying for the games instead of the brand won’t either. I happen to like the throwback to 64 bits...I doubt you’re the type of person who’s into retro gaming, though. It’s all about the graphics, eh? Again, you can’t compare the two because they’re made for two different purposes and for two different types of consumer.

But I’m sure I’m just going to get flamed for this, probably something to the extent of wishing death on my family for liking Nintendo products, but at least I’ve taken my stand against this sort of blatant fanaticism =/

aRedMoon July 28th, 2004 8:23 AM

Eh, I'll stick with the DS. Mainly because I have a feeling that most of the games I'd be interested in will come out for only the DS, or will be ported to both systems, making the PSP rather useless.

The only reason I would get it is for the movies thing... and give a while and Ninento will come out with something more powerful, so I'll stick with them.
