HBG: The recently announced and upcoming handheld platforms, specifically the Next Generation Portable, claim to bring “console-like experiences” in the palm of your hand. While this is no doubt an ambitious goal, there is one simple question that everyone seems to be forgetting–do we necessarily want to play these types of games on a small handheld screen as opposed to an expensive high-definition television, one that potentially costs thousands of dollars?
FuRyu revealed on Friday its Exstetra fantasy role-playing game is getting an HD remaster that will launch this summer on Steam.
Long considered impossible, there is now verifiable video proof of a player soloing Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus 2's notoriously difficult co-op mode. This was the finally achievement required to obtain the game's Platinum trophy, which has never been done in the 13 years since its release.
NE: "We rank the 10 best main series Super Mario games in celebration of the recent MAR10 Day with 2D and 3D included."
Best 2D, Mario World, best 3D, Mario 64. Can't say there's been a bad one, although Mario World 2 wasn't a true sequel. The Mario Land games were good (not the first one) and also Wario Land. I thought after Mario 64, Mario 3D World was excellent.
The problem is - if you drop it you're gonna /cry.
Im sure when they said console experience in your hand they meant Console visuals not downgraded versions of console games with exact same gameplay..
all of those IPs he mentioned (Killzone, LBP, uncharted) will be made by a third party dev, so dont expect so much similarity between 2 versions (console vs portable) in term of gameplay, and Im sure LBP is an absolute GEM for portable devices ( with full visuals it will be a dream)
BTW many people cant afford 2K USD(at least) for console experience , and NGP is an opportunity for those people..
i dont understand the hate for the whole console experience on the go. it has been done since the original gameboy. I thought the purpose of a portable was to play ur fav games/franchises on the go. Nintendo done it, sega did it, nintendo keeps doing it, sony did it. why all the hate now with the the ngp doing it?
To be fair, a lot of people keep judging the NGP as just having ports. Yes the games that have been show are already running games on the PlayStation 3, but I very much expect that their will be tailored made NPG games along with them.
I really think we are dropping the ball too quickly with this. Lots of time to come.
Or you could be more careful with your handhelds
