There's a video! The game looks kinda dumb, but technically it looks nice. Clearly above psone/n64, but not quite dc quality.

IGN-
March 25, 2004 - While the conference itself is still early in its morning hours, Sony was good enough to send out early copy for the media's perusal of SCEA executive vice president Andrew House's keynote speech, "Encouraging Innovation in Game Development." Amongst other things detailed in the speech's text is a pre-summary of the planned showing of a living, breathing, realtime PSP demo of a game expected to release at launch of Sony's handheld system next spring.

Titled Death Jr., the game from renown handheld/console developer Digital Eclipse and development group consortium Backbone Entertainment is the first officially-announced and formally-approved title for the system, and will be the first publically-displayed title for the handheld gaming unit as well. While it is unknown whether the game will be shown playable on actual PSP units or just on videotape, or what portion of the presentation will be shown with realtime gameplay (even at the Game Developers Conference, the focus is sometimes on the FMV developers and not the game developers), we do know that senior producer Chris Charla and creative director Mike Mika (of Digital Eclipse) will be on-hand to present the title and announce its exclusive status to the PSP handheld system.

Meh, Looks pretty lame.

The graphics look really good to me. I've been waiting for this kind of portable game quality for a long time.

Hopefully Sony prices it decently.

Reminds me of N64 with better texture resolution.

Meh. It looks nice, but still miles behinds current-gen consoles. And my GBA is still pretty sweet.

The player should use some kinda video output so I can see it on the tube.

You have to keep in mind that the video was made by... basically some no-name mediocre developer. I can't wait to see what companies like Konami or Square-Enix will do with this.

True, but I guess my point is that since you know it won't be better than what you can have at home, why get so excited anyway?

The next generation of consoles (hopefully) will make you say "Wow, I've never seen anything like this before." At best, the PSP will make you say "Wow, I've never seen anything like this since I played my N64."
