John Bedford (Modojo): Nvidia's announcement yesterday that it would be releasing a new portable handheld, code-named Project Shield, immediately called to mind some of handheld gaming's less spectacular moments in history. There's the Gizmondo, with its lurid development history and costs that brought down the company. The Panasonic Jungle, designed to woo MMO players just as that bubble began to shrink, was quietly discontinued. Both of these projects, and others, serve as a grim warning for anyone attempting to enter this market.
Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered brings a titan of video games past back from the grave, but some of the gameplay is dead on arrival.
Tides of Tomorrow takes a unique approach to storytelling, and after being hands-on for a few hours, it’s shaping up to be something special.
The canceled Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake has appeared on PlayStation Network as its trophy list goes live; however, it doesn't mean the game is returning.
Just before it was revealed to be cancelled, there were leaks saying it was due to be released. As trophies normally show up on the PSN backen when a game is complete and about to release - this leads me to wonder if the game WAS complete but Ubisoft pulled the plug because it felt the quality was too mediocre.
Earlier leaks have shown the project has a lot of issues to the point where they changed development studios
So it's really unsurprising if the game was bad
Not to be rude but it aint changing anything looking like that. Have they seen mobile devices and PSV/3DS that thing is a beast. Looks like the original xbox shrunk for a hand held.
well i love dedicated handheld devices, ive owned all the gameboys and ds's, psp and psvita, sega gamegear and neogeo pocket and pocket colour (got gameboy color, ds, 3ds and vita at launch) and for the first time in my life im not intrested. it looks a mess and a dedicated android gaming platform is a big turn off for me, i hate android gaming its the devil. not interested in pc streeming capabilities as i don't play pc much. velve's piston has a better chance at getting my money ( after ps4 of couse) than this.
