I am looking foward to this device.

Let's see if this is PSP 2 or a completely different device.

If this is a Phone, it should be called PS Phone.

Red_Orange_Juice5662d ago (Edited 5662d ago )

if PSP2 and the rumored phone is one and the same...

..IM GOONNNNNAAAAAA RAAAGEEEEE

Stealth20k5662d ago

I thought we went through this?

We know for 100 percent certainty its a different device

psp phone= sony ericson

psp 2 = sony japan and entertainment

Tsar4ever015659d ago (Edited 5659d ago )

Looking at that pic makes me wonder if the PSPhone would be kinda designed like any of the current 4.3' or upcoming 4.5' super Oled smart phones from Motorola DX, Samsung Galaxy S, & HTC HD2, and those PS & phone icons will be either Hard buttons or touch control at the bottom of the large screen?

FACTUAL evidence5662d ago

Guess this is sony's way of cross game chat. /s

Spinal5662d ago

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

But OT: I stated before im pretty sure they are two different devices the psp phone and the psp2. I personally want the PSP phone cause if its half as good as i hope an plays psp/ps1 games Then im sold an my iPhone 4 will be sold too.

It says "Pierre Perron and his team invite you to the most anticipated presentation of the past 10 years".

December 9th isn't too far away, if this is legit, I guess it will be interesting.

And Pierre Perron is the Head of Sony Ericsson France.

rrw5662d ago

well the picture show usual PS symbol and phone on it.

pretty obvious hint there

fossilfern5662d ago

if this is a PSP phone i might just get rid of my iphone :D

SpartanPrince5662d ago (Edited 5662d ago )

Imagine the kind of games will be on this. My only hope is that they wont try to be ps3 games and will just be slightly above ps2 level. Leave the ps3 type games for the psp2
The psp tried to come up with some really advanced games but failed most of the time(probably because of the lack of a second analogue stick). Plus this is a phone and it will probably drain the battery life too much.

NeutralGamer5662d ago

Me thinks its for PSP Minis...

PSP 2 is where the real shits at

silvacrest5662d ago

i think it will have original PSP games as well as minis

if its just the minis sony have thrown away there one chance to steal significant market share from apple

apple already dominate crappy mini games, why not target the area they are weakest at? proper games with actual buttons

also im getting this vibe from the comments here that you guys want this device to just play minis, im guessing probably because you want the psp2 to be the all powerful device, it will be but the psp phone does not need to be heald back for that to happen

Spinal5662d ago

Exactly silvacrest, I couldn't have said it better myself. I would replace my iphone 4 for a psp phone that plays psp games atleast an maybe ps1/ps2 games would be a bonus!

poopoojames5662d ago

I hope the psp Phone is the psp2. Times have changed, people don't want hardcore portable gaming. A psp2 would flop if released after a playstation phone.

InvaderZim5662d ago

it wouldnt flop. i just cnt w8 for the next psp. NEED Uncharted portable ;)

p4s2p05662d ago

I want hardcore portable gaming I don't even have a home console since psp came out can't wait for psp2.

More and likley a ps phone would play it's own games like minis and ps1 classics.

Sigh5662d ago

It would be surprising if Sony unveiled both the PSPhone and PSP2 in one event. Problem is, we don't know if PSP2 and PSPhone are two separate products. It could be an all-in-one product.

Lucreto5662d ago

I hope not.

We have seen in-development images for the PSP2 with 2 thumb sticks and a camera.

I hope the phone can be used for minis or other smaller games.

silvacrest5662d ago

do you think it being a fully-fledged psp would mean it steals the PSP2's thunder? im sure it wont

i have no doubt the psp2 will be more powerful and be the flagship playstation handheld

if it just had minis and crappy mini games i would still get it just for proper gaming buttons for emulators but it would be a MASSIVE disappointment and a wasted opportunity, the psp phone would be the only smartphone with proper games and proper controls, why waste that on minis?

You can get Hall effect controllers slightly cheaper, but you'd struggle to find as feature-rich a package without some heavy, heavy sales.

"It's Just So Lame" - RTGI Modder Thinks DLSS 5 Is Impressive But Shares AI Slop Sentiment

Pascal Gilcher calls DLSS 5 impressive but shares the "AI slop" sentiment, explaining the likely tech behind it and why he dislikes it.

I fail to see how this is AI shhhhlllloooop. Looking at the different games they showed, this has made many of them look far better.

isarai_lee61d ago (Edited 61d ago )

It's AI slop because it ignores the artists intent and changes the details ESPECIALLY when it comes to character faces. The scariest part of it is introducing it as the next stage of DLSS, a feature where the current iteration already has controversy surrounding it and for quite a lot of games cannot be fully disabled. So reasonably the precident is already set for what path this could take, and it's not good

blacktiger61d ago

In case you didn't watch the video then let me point just one part. It overrides the lighting. Then the question of what is the point of ray tracing cost and so on. Many of the lighting deletes shadow, including shadow on the face like eyes even chin.

Chard61d ago

Why stop at art when it comes to human input - why not just have AI play the game for us, remove human input altogether

theshizer62d ago

If you don’t like it, just don’t enable it. Personally I think it looks great from the videos I have seen.

isarai_lee61d ago

And what about when you can't? Cause there's plenty of games where you cannot fully disable dlss already, i mean we're well into an era where it's a major crutch for developers to cover up their cut corners, why would this be any different?

blacktiger61d ago

You are playing with people's money and allow Nvidia to scam you.

In case you didn't watch the video then let me point just one part. It overrides the lighting. Then the question of what is the point of ray tracing cost. This is all lie to raise the cost of the graphic card.

Andrew33662d ago

Making characters look more realistic not ok because we want the developer to decide on how the game was intended to look. - Internet

Change entire game through mods thus changing how the developers intended the game to be is ok. - Internet

isarai_lee61d ago

Something consumers can do to a product after they have purchased it, entirely optional and can always be undone with a fresh install

VS

The leading gaming hardware manufacturer making this the next iteration of the main AA/Upscaling technique that is heavily relied upod by modern devs and is not optional in most games.

Not at all the same but nice try

jwillj2k461d ago

At the moment you need 2 5090’s just to get an image on the screen so this is all vaporware until proven otherwise.

Andrew33661d ago

The good news is you can just not use it as well.

Christopher61d ago

It's all about choice in the end. But, I would say that calling it 'more realistic' is quite a stretch. It looks like AI art, and that's rarely realistic.

Urrakia3461d ago

All the comments I see are reminding me of how we got to the current state of gaming when microtransactions were first introduced: "It's completely optional guys, we promise! If you don't like it just don't buy it!"

I think we all know how that ended up.

Popsicle61d ago (Edited 61d ago )

I had the same exact thought the first time this was brought up in a separate article about a week ago. Took me straight back to the conversations surrounding “horse armor.” Just don’t buy it they said. Years later, many IPs I previously enjoyed are so infected with monetization schemes that I don’t even consider purchasing them anymore.

DLSS 5 and the like are the same thing wrapped in a different package. History rhymes but many of us never learn from it.

blacktiger61d ago

Biggest Scam. Overrides lighting and shadow. So why keep Ray tracing? It's all a scam to raise graphic card. We now see Nvidia with Microsoft downturn anything against them. Sony is next!
