They could of, you know, just shoved the game in as a built-in one. Considering how powerful the PS3 will be, it wouldn't take up much space at all. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
If anything, I hope this means I'll be able to make my own background, and other customized OS preferences. I'd love to be able to create my own startup/shutdown music. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
On the topic of Lemmings... why is PSP getting a Lemmings game and the DS is not? That hardly makes sense considering the DS would provide much better control for such a game. And really why do they even think PSP owners would be a good target audience for that kind of a game anyway?

Holy hell, Lemmings for DS is a fantastic thought. Probably thought of before, obviously, but I'm not sure how it would work.
You'd need to have the touchscreen act as a cursor, so the map would be on the bottom screen, and the different selections would probably also be on the bottom screen. So, whatever fits on the top screen, I don't know. I'd like to know how Lemmings PSP works as well. Gamespot provides useless. I was speaking idiomatically. |
Lemmings for PSP is just regular Lemmings with prettier graphics controlled with the nub. There might be some way to switch command types with the face buttons to make it easier and probably L and R scroll the map. The only thing PSP has going for it besides fancy graphics and oh god it's a freaking Lemmings game whoopee for graphics is that the PSP has a nice wide screen.
For the DS it would probably be a very simple matter. Top screen would show a zoomed out version of most of the map plus all stats. Bottom screen would have abilities to quickly choose from and maybe number of ability use left and the main screen action. Simply tapping on Lemmings would activate their ability. To move the main screen you could do a couple different things. Hold L or R and then tap the screen and drag to move or tap a button on the screen to zoom out quickly, reposition, and zoom back in or the directional pad or anything else you can come up with. There's a lot that can be done with camera. I think a selection box should be displayed on the zoomed out view on the top screen and you just control where that box goes with the dpad. Anyway Lemmings would work extremely well on the DS. Better than PSP in my opinion. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Along with a few actual PSP titles, such as DJMAX, Taiko no Tatsujin Portaboloo, Popolocrois and Breath of Fire III which are worth buying, there isn't much else out there. It's still good for emulation, if you're incapable of enjoying emulated games on a Gamepark, xbox or PC. I don't own a PSP, and I probably wouldn't ever buy a PSP since there's so much fuss over it in regards to dead pixels, but it isn't an outright bad thing to own. I'd like to see how Popolocrois ran on a DS. I'm enjoying my DS thoroughly due to the range of games, and the range of kickass GBA games which I can play on it thanks to backwards compatibility. The PS3 will be the same, as there's a massive load of PS2 games worth buying. FELIPE NO |
Nobody said there wouldn't be a DS Lemmings. Not like it's exclusive or anything. Most amazing jew boots |

How the fduck did a thread on the discussion about PS3 get turned into a whinefest over lemmings on PSP and started by a mod even. Nice derailing...
Anyway if you search this thread you'll find some nice vids of different PS3 demonstrations with developer talking from GDC. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
It isn't the portability in the PSP which I care about, it's the emulation and few games. If the DS could handle SNES emulation without a long and complicated process, I'd be all for that, too. Most people aren't buying their PSP's solely for games. If they were, well, within that lies the DS customers. People buy PSP's for it's potential as an international potable media center shit brick. So it isn't entirely a soulless handheld. It isn't a bad handheld. It's just doing poorly. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Also, I wouldn't buy a PSP for portable emulation. I enjoy playing emulated games which most of the time are SNES games with an actual SNES controller displayed on my big 24 inch lcd screen or to the television which is even bigger. Besides, I'd have to go through all that firmware bullshit if I bought a PSP now to do that.
DJMAX probably plays better with a keyboard on a computer like you've shown us in your journal than the clusterfuck of scattered face buttons that just doesn't translate well to me for a game of beatmania. Portable Taiko? You look me in the face and tell me this is more fun without the actual drums. I'd rather watch both Popolocrois anime series than play the RPGs but I'm interested in it so-so just on recognition factor alone. I'm sure the DS could more than handle the sprite graphics of Popolocrois. Even the N64 and PSX could pull off the fancy battle effects going on in that game so the DS shouldn't have issues there. The problem the DS might have is with music and fmv but that's nothing some well done compression can't fix. That game would probably do better on a console in any case if it weren't that it already has done well on a console. Breath of Fire III? I never really played Breath of Fire but if you're a fan of the series then I suppose a remake of a PSX game would be good. Meanwhile I think I'll play Children of Mana whenever that makes it over here.
Don't get me wrong. The PSP has enormous potential but so far it's not been used all that much in its game lineup. I only see 4 games for it that might interest me so far. It would take at least 8 must-have PSP exclusive games and a great future lineup AND a price drop to get me to buy a PSP otherwise I'd be wasting my money. Right now I see the PSP getting bought by three kinds of people. There are the hip mainstreamers which Sony has hook line and sinker with cool racing games, gang GTA-style games, and various sport titles. Second are the hardcore Sony fans who are just eating anything they can get which so far I hope is just Lumines, Wipeout, Jak, and maybe GTA and a few others. And third are the people that I think Sony didn't expect and are eating a large chunk of system purchases. These would be people who use it as a portable media player via the memory stick. The PSP and the video iPod were EVERYWHERE at film festivals like Sundance. They would use them to show people their films, music, or anything else in their portfolios. The PSP is a dream for these guys and I have high respect for the machine in that regard.
Also I have to hand it to Sony's marketing team. They really know how to do a good campaign. The squirrels, baseballs, mice, etc. were a really good move. More of that and less of throwing the PSP around to random people acting like it can actually take that sort of abuse.
I was simply being logical. I wouldn't mind Lemmings being on PSP if it were also on DS. Tons of games are being multiplatformed for both systems. It doesn't make sense for Lemmings to not be on DS while being on a system with inferior control for such a game. That's all. And if you read the last page or so you'd understand how the conversation drifted to Lemmings on PSP. It started with people talking about Linux on PS3 and how adaptable the OS is and then sega.co.jp came in with the following tidbit:
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
You seem to have no trouble with the DS' screen size, yet you're picking to pieces the PSP which has a larger screen.
Also, I noticed you mentioned 8 must-have titles. The DS doesn't even have that yet. What's the comparison in there? I can think of Ouendan, Phoenix Wright, Bomberman DS, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, Jump! Superstars, Tetris DS, let's say Animal Crossing, Mario Kart DS. Except that list is invalid because Bomberman DS is a personal favorite of mine; Jump! Superstars and Ouendan are both imported. Not every person is going to want to play the must-have titles; not every person likes what everyone else does. How many people do you think bought a 360 for Oblivion, even though there'll be some who aren't interested in other 360 titles? So yeah. I wouldn't say that 8 must-have PSP titles is a requirement, but more an exaggeration. I know you're biased, so I won't continue. I have a DS and no interest in the PSP myself but at least I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. so i herd the ps3 wos gonna play games? Edit: I'm not going to derail this thread anymore, there's been enough of that. It's funny how if this were the PSP Discussion thread this conversation would never of taken place. But yeah, you're entitled to your opinion, as am I, yet I can tell from your words that you're mostly centering on what the DS needs and has, instead of what the PSP already has and could possibly get. Positive before negative, sir. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Besides you have the second Bomberman game for DS to look forward to since it will use the Nintendo Wifi Connection. =)
The DS has given me what I want to the extent that it's breaking my wallet and I can't get enough. How is that biased? The PSP offers me a whole lot but not in regards to gaming. I'm sure I'll get a PSP one day when the price has dropped and there plenty of games that I want to be had.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Here's a relevent question that might get the thread back on track:
The PS3 is WiFi enabled. What does this mean? Will it pick up a signal from a wirless router without an extra adapter? Or does this only mean it can communicate with the PSP (which is useless)? Thoughts?? What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Yep, it'll pick up WiFi signals without any extra equipment, and I do remember it being stated that it can connect with the PSP wirelessly as well.

I call fake just like that concept controller. E3's going to be interesting, I'll give you that. Jam it back in, in the dark. The text is part of the image and the two squires aren't exactly even. |

Everyone knows that Europe always gets the shaft when it comes to pricing.

Hey, why was the Lemmings discussion ended? I'm sure it had something to do with PS3.
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Take it out to the PSP thread.
I had some questions regarding the features PS3 can implement for PS1/PS2 games. Anyone have any idea what enhancements we can look forward to? Another thought occures; in your opinion, what would be the best place to reserve a PS3? Gamestop seems like a given, but what about stores like Best Buy? Does one store offer better service or warranty as opposed to the other? How ya doing, buddy? |

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Of course if they let the HDD emulate PS1/PS2 memory cards, I'm all for that too. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Yeah that's why I stated that at least some way of transferring you PSX and PS2 games to the PS3 must be possible preferably as painlessly as possible.
