Parasite Eve 3 announced...

I still don't understand how everyone can be so consistently against cellphones and simultaneously supportive of handhelds.

The only difference between them is about 3/4th of an inch of screen size.

Therum has the closest post to what I'd say otherwise: you know a game's going to be bad when the first thing you see of the protagonist is her contemplation of suicide.

are there standards with the cellphone platform? Or do certain cellphoens run better then others? do all phones support them? Do you need to buy a new cellphone every 6 months to keep up with gaming? Are they availible on all carriers?

thats just a ton of shit that would never work here in the US.

TVs weren't created to play videogames upon either.

True, I guess TV's and PC's fall into that same category. Once the games on cell phones look and play halfway decent, which I have yet to see, Ill give them a shot. I think for that to happen cell phones would have to cost twice as much as they do now. And why bother with that option when I have a couple of portables that do that same job and likely better?

But, yeah at the quality cell phone games are at right now, it pains me to see FF7, Parasite Eve, and whatever else on them. Those standards are just a little too low for me and Im sure a lot of people on this shore, to put up with. I mean this is barely 'Gameboy Advance quality' stuff with a lot of these from what Ive seen.

The possibility of another series being ruined by a handheld does not lead to hope.

hey, at least its not going to the wii, amirite?

look at GOW PSP and FFVII:CC, The PSP can churn out some nice visuals.

Another difference is that no US cell phone will be compatible with this game, as the US lags quite far behind Japan in cell model advancement.

Cell phone game = we will never get to play this, handheld game = we will.

Most of us would prefer a series that started on consoles stay on consoles, naturallly. But if it doesn't, we'd still like the option of playing a US release of it.

No.

The Wii is capable of better visuals and better gameplay than the PSP. Of course, both are the wrong answer for any series that matters. Degrees of wrong don't help much.

Gatorade Frost is pretty good.

Also cocks.

And Wii > Cellphones.

I like to talk on the Cell phone and play Pokemon on my handheld at the same time. While driving and eating, and at the same time pissing.

Nope, no set standards, it varies for carrier to carrier.

Yes, different cell phones will run stuff better.

No, all phones don't support them.

New cellphone every year or so I'd say.

Nope, not on all carriers.

Reported for Flame baiting :O

K I received your report, and decided to not penalize myself.

Anyway, I don't know, this game series never did it for me. Kind of like Final Fantasy VIII, I look at this era of Square games, and I don't even immediately think game, I think horrible Sega CD things like like, interactive experience.

But its gonna be on a cell phone anyway, so the truth is, we should all have the same opinion even if our reasons are different.

Its gonna suck.

Handhelds were specifically designed and created to play games. Cell phones were specifically designed and created to call people. I don't enjoy overlap (coughngagecough)

You misunderstood me. I was referring to the art style, though I should have clarified.

Ah, but consoles were. The TV just provides a screen, really.
