Next Rez Game to be on PSP or NDS

[Jeremy]

It's a Sony system, they don't need more than the Sony name being on it to make it a success, sadly. If the price is insanely high, that could easily be a different story though.

I'm pretty sure they need games Jeremy.

o.... kay....

Ding, ding ding. Damian got it right off the bat. The PS2 sold like hotcakes in part due to it doing things that didn't involve games, such as DVD playback. The PS2's game library didn't get hot until nine or so months into it's lifespan. And as a launch buyer, I was amazed at how few "A" or even "B" list games were coming out for that time frame. Until Twisted Metal: Black came out, my system was mainly used for the occasional Tekken Bowling session and DVD movie play.

But it was in anticipation of those games for which you bought the system.

It's foolish to say games aren't involved in the sale of a GAME system, reguardless of what else it can do or when these games are hitting shelves.

If you wanted a freaking DVD player, you'd have saved about $200 and just bought a DVD player. But you didn't. You wanted a gaming system, and so you, as well as myself, and many, many others bought a PS2.

I'm not buying a PSP for movie or music playback, though they are bonuses. I'm buying it for the games. If it takes a year for any decent games to release, so be it, but I'm still in it for the games.

So is everyone else who buys one.

The games definitely sold me on the system. I knew that I'd get my $300 worth out of just TTT and TM: B, and the DVD playback cinched it. The PSX playback was a great selling point for me as well, since I'd had bad experiences with that system dying out on me.

Yes, the anticipation is key. As long as the promise of quality key titles are there, people seem to buy the things even if the the quality games are released a year later.

Well, I take it back, this will probably be completely retarded either way, but far less so if it had a rumble.

I doubt a disc-based portable is going to rumble. Unless the company making it is really stupid.

(Which isn't unimaginable.)

This is what happens when you buy handheld shit.

I know you're laughing at us.

Kindly fuck yourself.
You will never tell me where I can and cannot post, even if you become a moderator.

Be nice. You troll the hell out of every handheld thread - people tire of it.

Having nothing would be less insulting to the original game than this handheld game will ever possibly turn out to be.

My games don't have emotions or egos. I'm jealous.

You whiney bitches should be happy you're getting another Rez at all, not complaining about which system it's showing up on.

You have to be kidding. Rez is about sensory stimulation as much as it is about gameplay. It needs to be on a console like nothing else.

They're disc based systems, meaning infinitely increased sound quality. You don't have to know the particulars to know the sound'll be 100 billion times better than what we have now.

It's more than just sound quality - it's also about sound output, and playing a game like Rez though a kickass sub.

I hope not. You'll be disappointed when those features are cut.

So is everyone else who buys one.

Most (>70%) of the people who buy a PSP will do so because Maxim tells them to.

This is good - no - great news. I was skeptical about another Rez (Rez-style) game being released and now the man himself just confirmed it. Awesome.

I love handheld games/systems (even though Nintendo designed systems hurt my hands). The rumbling might be missed but I don't mind the "small" screen at all. PSP is designed to play digital music so music playback will be great on these new systems, especially with headphones.

It will be really nice to have a portable Rez. It'll be nice to zone out and let the time fly by.
