Lotsa people do.. AND BLOODY PONY GAMES are selling too!
I hope for 2008 we see more AAA titles.. The next big thing I can think of is Ninja Gaiden DS, as I liked the demo quite a bit. Nintendo had better allocate better hardware for the DS2, like that new mobile PowerVR chip, so that 3D doesn't look so ugly. As for LSW the publishers cheaped out on cart memory, otherwise I'm sure the cutscenes would have looked much better.. The limited DS cart sizes are also another factor to consider, so many games are missing voice acting and music. |

Bl**dy Sony PSP - nothing but cut down ports of PS2 games with shonky controls and graphics. Would never happen on a Ninty machine.
Oh - hold on a minute... |

Morning
Is is possible to "up" the graphics/memory on the DS, without it getting fatter and bigger ? Just how much more powerful is the PSP ? I have a DS and have Anno,Zelda,Brain Train,Darts and fifa,and have owned many more so I like the brand, but would love to have some of the games that appear to work/look better on the PSP better, the Fifa games are a perfect example With that in mind the best deal I can see at the moment for the sony is a White slim psp,2gb mem card,Fifa 08,Medal of H, heroes II and Burnout for £189. Anyone know of any more. Ideally I want Silent Hill. I wanted call of duty and Simpsons to "work" on the DS.....Blast! |

None of those games excite me in any way.
They are the kind of shelf fodder best left to the common folk and those who wear burberry. |

"Is is possible to "up" the graphics/memory on the DS, without it getting fatter and bigger ?"
There's already been a memory cart to plug into the GBA slot to increase the DS' available memory. The only thing that makes use of it is the web browser though. "Just how much more powerful is the PSP ?" "A lot" would be the correct answer. The PSP is a little bit less powerful than a PS2. The DS is a little bit less powerful than an N64 (certainly in terms of rendering 3D graphics anyway). |

CPUs: Two ARM processors, an ARM946E-S main CPU and ARM7TDMI co-processor at clock speeds of 67 MHz and 33 MHz respectively.
RAM: 4 MB of Mobile RAM That's more power than an N64 but it lacks filtering or mip mapping like the n64 and so looks blocky. If any of you used an Acron A5000 or A7000 then they were powered by the same kind of chips. A5000 had an ARM3 at 30 Mhz I think Hopefully the next version will have near filtering and Mip mapping and the blockiness will dissapear (nice and blurry instead ;-) I don't know why Nintendo didn't use a StrongArm not much more expensive and they run at 200 mhz and up ;-) Battery life I guess |

Yes those things in PocketPC's do kill battery life..
I really hope Nintendo goes for PowerVR's SGX solution.. It even has pixel/vertex shaders! Don't believe me? See for yourselves! |

"Come on, NFS isn't really a seven isn't it? I'd love a decent 'serious' racing game on the DS, but thinking about the horrible abominations so far, I can't believe this is worth a seven. How are the graphics in motion compared to other racing titles on the system?"
I wish it wasn't, but I actually really liked it in the end. In motion they're fine. I wouldn't say it's a seven pushing toward an eight, but I could happily give it to someone for Christmas without expecting to be killed in my sleep. In a good way. Proper-console one was rank, mind. |
