Hopefully they let you use your DualShock on them through the blue tooth for gaming.

hiredhelp5516d ago

hmm wonder if NGP also be getting this wouldnt supprise me.

BeastlyRig5517d ago (Edited 5517d ago )

This will be interesting!! Not buying it but Interesting still..

Especially if it turn out to be $600 or so I would add $200 & play Bf3 on PC!

I want to know the price!

a ps3 tablet that can be hook to a tv would be better.

$300 - 400 would be acceptable..

not trolling people just using my common sense.

Ju5516d ago (Edited 5516d ago )

What are you smoking. It'll be a Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) tablet. Hopefully dual core (or more - why not use NGPs Quad) and PS certified. $499 would be nice, 10" (don't give me that 7" crap, please). I am all in (less than 2 cores...nope, not with me. Next). No BF3 on that thing and no PS3 games. But everything which runs on (e.g.) XPeria Play (and some NGP/PSSuite) games.

Only thing this time, I won't buy early. I want them to iron out PSN on those devices, and the games, PSSuite, I want to see how that works with the NGP (and its games), etc.

Knowing Sony, they'll release a half baken solution - and will update ASAP. I think they are taking on too much at the same time. Phone, tablet, console and portable...until this is streamlined, it'll take a while.

BeastlyRig5516d ago

Thanx at least now I know it won't be worth it!

$500 is to close to playing BF3 dx11 price to care..

Ju5516d ago

I guess you are in the wrong thread. Totally irrelevant.

Stealth20k5517d ago (Edited 5517d ago )

eh its really a waste of time since anything on these devices will be on the ngp

@ below?

why would it those devices arent compatible with psn. Only ps suite.

Which is why you have to rebuy ps1 classics. Its a seperate system

cliffbo5517d ago

not entirely. think of the uptake of PSN. i can see it doubling by next year easily

silvacrest5516d ago

how exactly does your mind work?

if the same software is on the ngp, the other device shouldn't even exist?

and please, link me to any source that confirmed android content on the NGP.....please

also, you dont no how or if sony will integrate PSN with PS suite, having to rebuy ps1 classics doesn't prove much, only that sony want more money

there is a reason why we have HD remakes of PS2 games instead of software emulation, selling the same game twice or spend money on emu that wont bring in any money....think about it

Zancruz5517d ago

I think it would be really cool if Sony does it right. Give it the smarts to be a workhorse for business and give it the power for great entertainment. Adding a better Remote Play like the PSP where it can connect through the internet to the PS3 so we can excess our stuff would be epic.

tdrules5517d ago

fuck Playstation Certified!
stop fragmenting the Android platform even more, stop removing apps made from hard working people such as psx4droid, who survive on their work to live.
if you're going to release Playstation games, release it on the Android platform as a whole or don't release it

Christopher5517d ago

Let me get this straight, Sony should stop making applications to play their own IPs so that others can profit off of making emulators that play Sony and other third-party owned IPs illegally?

tdrules5516d ago

No, they should allow all Android devices be able to play their IPs, not restrict it to their hardware.
Maybe you should grow up and look up "Open Source", and research why developers like Android.

Don't you think if Sony released games exclusively for PS3 Slim, people with a fat one would be royally pissed off right?

I'm annoyed at how they handled the PSX4Droid situation, the app has been around for a very long time and they didn't give a fuck. So they don't care about people stealing their IP, they're scared people won't buy Playstation 1 games for the 100th time when "Playstation Certified" launches.
Tragic Capitalism in motion.

Christopher5516d ago

***No, they should allow all Android devices be able to play their IPs, not restrict it to their hardware.***

And they will, with the PlayStation Suite application.

***Maybe you should grow up and look up "Open Source", and research why developers like Android.***

May be you should realize that Open Source has nothing to do with creating emulators to illegally play someone else's IP.

***So they don't care about people stealing their IP, they're scared people won't buy Playstation 1 games for the 100th time when "Playstation Certified" launches.
Tragic Capitalism in motion.***

So, you are anti-capitalism and think everything should be legal for what is currently considered the illegal distribution of license of someone else's IP? Can I remember that when you own a business of your own?

Jihaad_cpt5516d ago (Edited 5516d ago )

Dear turd, Sony can do as they please with THEIR software library

tdrules5516d ago (Edited 5516d ago )

sure they can, but they should make their own firmware and not lean on Android for it.
it spits on everything Android stands for

Ju5516d ago (Edited 5516d ago )

Why? What does Android stand for? Everything is free or what? Android is not so open as you want to make people believe.

Ever tried to get the Google Market on a device which comes without? Good luck with that. (Yes, there are alternatives, but not the same).

Android is a closed system - using Open Source components. If you want to sell a Android device, you need a license from Google. Android is not free (even though, you can compile your own version).

silvacrest5516d ago

open your eyes, sony are a company in the business of making money, NOT pleasing irrational open source fans

the PS suite will be available to PS certified devices and tegra devices, what more do you want?

and the fragmentation you complain about is a blessing in disguise, it means the choice available is immense, the only people who get burned are the uninformed

Jihaad_cpt5516d ago

Google agreed to it,so your problem with Sony only is really not making sense

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_lee49d ago (Edited 49d 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

blacktiger49d 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.

Chard49d 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

theshizer49d 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_lee49d 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?

blacktiger49d 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.

Andrew33649d 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_lee49d 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

jwillj2k449d 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.

Andrew33649d ago

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

Christopher49d 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.

Urrakia3449d 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.

Popsicle49d ago (Edited 49d 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.

blacktiger49d 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!
