Nice way to flip things around there, Jash. XD. Anyway, I like GTA as well... and about earlier, I wasn't saying that PSP is completely useless/ dumb. Just thought I'd make that clear with everyone...
 
i am with arcanine, the psp is releasing good games and the thing of listening music in it is cool, but that doesnt mean that the ds is ugly or boring, we just have to wait to the new games

you know, I can understand that the PSP has games that most people/gamers would enjoy, but I still am not giving up on the DS, so yeah. And you do seem to know your stuff, Arcanine. ((I wish I had Emerald! But I don't get paid again 'til June.... -_-))

I'm not trying to put down the DS or anything. But they really need to get more good games. And I also like how you can download songs to it and use it as an iPod. You can also watch movies on it. Stuff that the DS can't do.
I don't hate the DS (I love my DS), I just like my PSP better then my DS.

This argument is stupid. Just because I happen to have a different concept of humor than you, you immediately find it neccessary to disregard everything I say? This is idiotic. If I were anyone else that you weren't biased against, I certainly doubt you would be as quick to ignore me.

You're right, it is stupid. I'm right and you're wrong on argument (not the PSP and DS stuff, I'm not talking about that). And you can't see that. And that's what's stupid.
I disregard just about everything you say beacuse just about everything you say is pointless.

I say this because if I recall correctly the N64 and the PS2 coexisted at one point. If you wouldn't compare those two, why would you compare the DS and the PSP?

The oldest game that I know of for the PS2 came out: January 31, 2001
The oldest game that I know of for the N64 came out: September 26, 1996
The oldest game that I know of for the PS came out: September 5, 1995
Is 1996 closer to 1995 or 2001? So why would you say I should compare the PS2 and N64 when the PS was closer to the N64?

I'm sorry, but if my posts are SPAM, then I can't for the life of perceive how your posts are any less so.

Oh you don't find your posts as spam? You mean posts like
" Bahahahaha."
"......y-you didn't quote the entire sentence. :("
"I'd say I average about zero a day."
"This smells like a poll. I better poke it with a stick."
"This is the best thread in ages."
"I'm unwilling to risk the cooties that might ensue."
"Bah, that's not such a long time."
Them are but a few posts. Would you like for me to go look for more? I bet I could find some real quick. And as one of the highest Administrators on Pok?Community I see your posts as spam (when you get as high as me on PC you can try to tell me otherwise).

Yea you're right, if you would like to go on then I would be happy to do it via PM (no need to post it in here when it could be done in a PM).
 
At the moment a lot of the games that actually make good use of the DS's touch screen are more akin to tech demos (Yoshi's T&G, Pac-Pix, etc). But in the future I can see those types of games laying the foundations for interesting titles with a tad more last in them. Canvas Curse looks set to pave the way when it's released later in the year.

I don't have a PSP (September release for us), but I think that going by what I'll be using it for, there's not much on it that I can't already imagine: PS2-quality games. It should be good, but so far the only game that interests me is THUG2: Remix, and that's little more than a port+.
 
Well I like the PSP better then the DS!!!

U see, the DS just gets boring after a while, the only things I like about it is that u can play GameBoy games on it, the games just seem to take advantage over the whole touch screen thing which, to be honest is nothing special (in my point of view) and the games are kind of rubish (apart from Mario64 DS). I just hope that the Pokemon games that are coming out wont take advantage of the whole touch screen thing (BLOW TO ATTACK, TOUCH THE POKEMON TO ATTACK IT!!!).

I got a imported PSP just the over day and it rocks, the games are brilliant, u can listen to music and watch movies and I just luv turning the volume on full blast. I havnt tried going online with it but im sure that it rocks too :D
 
*Looks at Allstories.* OOH! BURN! XD

Anyway, do we really need another one of these threads? >>;

Anyway look, these to systems are out and there are barely any games that show the DS or PSP's full potential.

Sure, DS may have a lot of interesting features and unique features, and PSP has a lot of media features, but their games...

Don't mean to sound harsh, but PSP has a bunch of games already on PS2, which seems like a waste of money in my opinion. Also some of the games where just a dissapointment, in my opinion, like Metal Gear Acid. The only good thing that came out of the PSP was the media features, such as the mp3 player, and movies.

DS seemed to be good, but the lack good orignal games, and the over amount of 3rd party ports just, well you know. Games like WarioWare Touched, Feel the Magic (Suprisingly was actually a good game.) were great, but some of these 3rd party ports are really annoying. Well, at least you can still use it as a GBA and a free chatroom. ~.^

So overall in my opinion, it's still too early to judge.
 
Hey Metal Gear AC!D, is very cool is way to diferent that Metal Gear solid.

So far good games that have been anounced for the ds are, Baten kaitos ds, final fantasy 3, and Xenosaga Ds. For psp, i havent checked only grand theft auto.
 
i feel like im betraying something but now i have a psp its better XD

I am sticking with DS until I play PSP. I for one like the dual-screens, so there! And anyone who disagrees can shove it! JK, but seriously, I like DS better and they are coming out with more games later on, and besides, it is going to become wirless soon. Plus you can play GBA games on it. Oh, and I don't like the games for PSP. Unless they make the Final Fantasy series, or the Kingdom Hearts series on it, I won't change my mind.

Well there's going to be a Final Fantasy for the PSP called Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus (there might even be more)

Anyways, of course I'm voting for PSP. I think it's much better than the DS. Has better games, better graphics, plays movies and music, and everything on the PSP in needed (unlike the extra screen on the DS)
 
I like the PSP better!
It has more features....Music, Movies, and pictures!!!
 
I really think PSP is better NOW. But I think the DS will be better in the future. Maybe not better than the PSP, but it will get better when extremely cool games are released for it. It's just a matter of time.
 
Everyone is saying the PSP can play movies, which it can........but WHAT movies? The free Spidey movie that came with it? Other than that (and maybe like 2 other movies i haven't seen) its a cool but useless feature because no companies are going to make movies for a gaming system when they can save money and sell millions more on DVD. Of couse you can dl them to ur memory stick, but the problem is the memoryu sticks don't have enough mem. for an even ok-quality movie (unless you buy like the $90 dollar mem. card). The song thing is pretty cool, but i prefer my mp3 player (more mem., too). And if you do find a way to use all the media features, you will find that you've spent a pretty penny just so you can watch movies, listen to songs, and play games on a 5 inch screen. Plus the battery life sucks, so why even bother (if you have enough time to watch a movie, then after your're done watching it you won't be able to play your games for very long, much less watch another movie). I would rather just bring our family's (extremely crappy) laptop and watch movies on that. And i will agree that the psp has more (and better) games out, but the fact is, even ign says their lineup is just too close to that of the ps2. So it won't last you on road trips, and you can play the same games on a 32 inch screen, so why bother spending the extra $100? Thats just my opinion, anyway. Plus, i like the DS's two screens (it really does become one giant screen, people just won't admit it), and i like their future lineup, and i like their innovativeness with VIDEO GAMES - the touch screen really does add a new demention to gaming (although people won't admit). And i no the graphics aren't as great, but their better than that of the n64, and if i still like to play that, i think the DS is great for video gaming (and chatting) alone. plus, the price is right :-)
 
Well Mr Movie-Feature-Is-Useless, there's a bunch of other awesome movies for the PSP other than the free Spiderman 2
 
like?.........................................and even if so, it will NEVER be a big thing. y would companies go out of their way to make movies for a gaming system when they will only sell like 1000 if they are EXTREMEMLY lucky, when they can focus more on DVD's and make triple the profits?

Dirge of Cerberus is a PS2 game. Crisis Core is being developed for the PSP.

...No, it's not. That doesn't even make any sense. I suppose you would have compared the N64 to the PS2?

You're trying to make it seem as if we're antialiasing, but it's perfectally comparable. No matter what you think about the 'DS not being a gameboy', the majority of the public playing the systems could not see it any other way.

Even though Nintendo wants to make it be seen as a third pillar, they rushed thier system to meet or exceed the deadline for PSP, just as PSP did for the DS. So even though technicallities stated by the companies state otherwise, even they realize that in any instance practical, they are competitors.


Anyways, to the people arguing about the movie strength on PSP- 512MB sticks are gennerally $90 right now, but 1GB ones are $95 from dell. Remember that Sony has got major control over their own memory stick- you don't really see noticable price drops unless Sony really needs them, or you wait a while for their next stick to be released. 2GB ones are extremely new- we won't see noticable changes in their prices until 2GB sticks are on the shelves and selling. Then we're looking at prices $50-60 for the 1GB ones.

And it's not like you take a 700MB movie and slap it onto your media- you must use your brain at some point. If it's not 16:9 ratio, why are you going to waste extra space on pixels you won't be seeing? If it's much larger than needed for your PSP screen- make it small enough to fit! It's common sense, and it saves you space. With a few quality reductions, you can hold 4 or 5 movies on a 1GB stick. With quality 'perfect' for the PSP, you can hold 2 or 3 with enough room for some songs you want.

Anyway, I prefer the PSP over the DS. There are a couple things I think could be better- like it's stick's placement, not being able to load atleast part of a games data onto the memory stick to ease loading, it's battery life, and how it's processor is underclocked. Nevertheless, I see both systems purely as a series of breakthroughs for future systems. They were both rushed to compete with eachother, but atleast they made their marks.

There are a few more movies then Spider Man 2.
"National Treasure", "Pirates Of Caribbean", "Kill Bill, Vol 1", "Are We There Yet?", "Hero", "Hitch", "Charlie's Angels", "Reign Of Fire", "Anacondas: The Hunt For The Blood Orchid", "Daddy Day Care", "You Got Served", "The Grudge", "Hollow Man", "XXX", "Hellboy", "Once Upon a Time in Mexico", "Resident Evil: Apocalypse"
And that's just for right now, more movies will come out when they come out on DVD/VHS.
 
Hmm i haven't played the PSP yet becuase they aren't out here in Aus.

But who knows I can' decide yet.
 
i have not played either yet (my DS is upstairs waiting for my birthday to roll around) but from what ive read on both systems im leaning towards the DS. I just thought it was typical of sony to produce a gaming system that has other features such as music and movies just so it will sell more, unlike nintendo who's consoles home and portable are completly dedicated to games, don't sony have any confidence in there games?

The PSP boasts good graphics but the DS can match it with games like Metroid Prime: Hunters which looks to have the best graphics on the DS. Like i said before i can't make a real judgment untill i have played both but they are both still relativly new so lets wait for future releases on both systems.
