New PS3 and PSP news.

Damian, AC adapters are Godsends, make use of them whenever possible.

Kinda defeats the point of a 'portable' then, huh?

Not really, as the system can still be used in more places than a console can, just not as many as if one was going to just use batteries, or a battery, with it.

I'm also really against what's going to happen (and everyone knows it). Everything's going to come out all complex, and on a handheld, that's garbage. Duke Nukem GBA gets great reviews because it's technically more advanced than almost every game on the system..too bad it SUCKS. THPS on the GBA is another one. Great reviews, but it plays like butt. Doom came out much better for it. Go play most Xbox games with those mobile screens. SHooting piddly little things you can barely see = more suck. EA's making an SSX for it. I don't want to not see a rail or whatever until its 2 virtual feet away from me, but that's what's going to happen.

[Jeremy]

I'm sure that developers will impliment things that should help avoid some of these pitfalls. It's still far too early to say what's going to happen with PSP games.

Yeah....that looks MUCH better than PS2.

That's also from a demo video that they put together in a mere two weeks. I'm sure Death Jr. will look better than in that video once they've put a few months worth of development time into it.

It's really way too early to tell anything. But yeah, I know what you're saying. Developers are trying to spoon feed US the same BS they do just before every console's/handheld's release.

Seraphim, this is TNL, don't even bother arguing. People here argue for the sake of arguing, so unless you like to do the same, I wouldn't even bother.

i can't wait to use my PSP on the NYC train system with that ultra handy AC adapter plugged in. oh wait...

the great thing about a portable is the ability to not worry about the plugs and wires and all that other shit (this is a given). it's fine and all that jazz when you use it at home or at someone's house or wherever else you can just sit on your ass next to an outlet (like a bingo hall), but i want to just take my junk, go to wherever, and play the shit out of it without hassling with a wire sticking out, plugged into a hole in the wall. you can take it to a lot more places than a console, sure, but then you restrict it to places that give you an outlet (if you choose to do it that way). it kinda does defeat the point of a portable. you won't catch me sitting at the doctors, waiting to find out if i got some incurable disease, with my [insert name of portable device] plugged into their outlet. whatever works for you though, right?

Psx games look so terrible that it takes away from the environment, a big selling point for me. I can't look at them, i don't care how good the gameplay is. When im watching those games, its as if the spirit of goat.se.cx lives within them. Hate on me for being a graphic whore all you want, i don't judge current games by how they look, unless it is so good that the enviroment gets stepped up a level. DC or better, if its has to be in 3d.

[Jeremy]

Ashen, that's why I said in another post that it's something that does vary from person-to-person. For me, I'll probably be using the system where an outlet is available, more often than not. So for me, battery usage, while still a concern, isn't a huge one, unless the usage is just through the roof, like the Nomad, and to a lesser extend, the Game Gear.

I see his point, there's been plenty of times I've bought that used Playstation game remembering how good the reviews were and how I wished I played it back in the day and WOW! here's my chance.

Too bad it looks like utter shit and it's such a strain on the eyes. Later Playstation games did look alot cleaner, but alot of those early to middle age ones didn't age well at all.

Same with N64 and it's blurry graphics.
