New Dead Rising and Final Fantasy IV-2 announced.

That's not an if. The experience is equal.

Both offer ways to play games using substandard technology on something which isn't my TV. Any difference beyond that is irrelevant.

Both offer ways to play games

That's where you're wrong.

DS and PSP may be substandard, regressive experiences, but they're substandard, regressive experiences anyone who owns the hardware can play if they're interested.

If you want to play a cell phone game, having a cell phone doesn't necessarily mean you have the right cell phone. And if you don't live in the country of release, then you have pretty much zero means to play it, as the markets are basically in completely different evolutionary periods hardware-wise.

i kinda wish they'd leave ff4 alone. i don't wanna know what happens after. dear god don't let them make a 6 after.

Agreed, I was content with the ending. Also I'm willing to bet they just stole a fanfiction that was set after the end lolol. (Damnit Rydia is mine)

dear god don't let them make a 6 after.

It would be kinda boring since nobody can use magic anymore.

Dead Rising sucked huge ass anyway. It's kinda fitting to see a cellphone version of it.

[Yoshi]

Translation: Razor couldn't figure out how to play the game.

[Razor Ramon]

I figured out it wasn't worth getting into the game longer than I already did.

Cellphones aren't ruining gaming. The vast majority of cellphone games are Popcap-esque garbage, not continuations of major franchises. In the rare case that a continuation of a major franchise does appear on a cellphone, the games aren't headed by the original developers, so there's no reason for disappointment or teary-eyed emoticons. Instead, the license is usually sold to a gaggle of incompetent retards to make a quick buck.

I was duped into downloading some awful Ratchet & Clank game for my phone a few years ago, and I'm completely confident Insomniac/Sony's involvement extended exactly as far as a phone call and a trip to the bank.
If that Ratchet & Clank game was released on PS2 or PSP, that would've been even worse for gaming. As long as franchises are being either farmed out to the in-house B-teams (best case scenario) or to "casual games" developers whose primary focus is on cheap cellphone games (worst case scenario), phones can keep this shit.
