For a long while, people were complaining how DS3 was too small. They fixed the size with DS4 being longer from grip to grip, and rounded the shape while making the grips slightly larger from the middle. It should fit in kids hands almost as well as DS1/2/3. Even start/option button was brought closer to the side.
Only the touchpad would be little hard to reach in some games, depending on what you are supposed to do with it.
A slight informational comment about that adapter, if anyone ever happens to stumble on it. A reviewer pointed out that there can be compatibility issues with the adapter due to the display resolution of the PS2, and how your TV handles them. Theres already an issue with PS1 games being played on PS2 via component cables (the 5 color ones). Component gives you the best image quality on PS2, but through those means your TV cannot handle/understand the small 240p resolution of the PS1 games. So...
I think storage space might be a slight issue. If you want to keep the price down, and include a decent amount of games. PS1 games range between 300-1000mb's, So they would have to either invest into a large flash memory, or very small HDD. Flash memory could be more optimal depending on how many games you want to include.
But I would be down with this. Especially if it had the ability to download classics from PSN, and was native HDMI.
They vary a lot more, but some still look fine. Spyro and Crash games for example still look decent and have aged well. Ape Escape and Croc on the other hand havent aged so well, but they are still alright.
Oh, that PS2 to HDMI adapter is pretty cool and handy. I think I need to pick up one.
Its still not exactly the same as NES Mini with its HDMI. This thing converts the signal to a HDMI output, but the native/original output will always be analog. This is such a new thing for me so I cant say anything about its quality, and neither do I know how well a component cable quality image converts to a HDMI one, but I dont believe that the image quality can match a native digital s...
Mmm, still waiting for them to potentially include Gene from God Hand. There were rumors that they would put him in.
I think its probably going to be something pretty recent. Seeing how they used the phrase "pleasing the masses", its probably a Resistance collection or something similar people have been asking for a while.
Being really blunt here, but there would not be many masses to be pleased here. Shenmue seems to have a small but dedicates fanbase. If that counts as "masses", pretty much anything will.
It depends. For kids, the "invest" part doesnt really apply, and it is a flaw of this definition.
I kinda do prefer to keep the definition of "gamer" stricter rather than looser. If its too loose, its easier to just throw arbitrary negatives into the mix (oh gamers are violent, gamers are sexist), because at that point its just such a wide and meaningless label. Its also easier to make claims of "what gamers want" if it encompasses almost every...
Theres been a decent amount of talk about this, and I have seen quite a lot different ways to define a gamer.
IMO, the best one I have seen, is that a gamer is someone who's willing to put some money down for dedicated hardware and make room/time for gaming/game time.
This way, even a dedicated handheld gamers would count, but not your crusty parents who play mobile games.
What a cool guy, and he's certainly right. I havent read a book in 7 years or so, and I bought myself the Metro 2033 book. I can enjoy a book because I can get into them really well, but Im just piss poor at starting reading things.
Ashamed to admit that I havent opened that Metro book yet, but I will when the moment is right, and Im sure I'll enjoy it.
I dont even mind the 180 per se, but what bothers me is that this very much feels like pandering to all of the whining that started around 2013/2014, and that bothers me.
N4G had like 4 pages worth of reviews coming in daily for Yooka Laylee...
At worst, it was mixed reception, but then again there was an extraordinary amount of reviews out there...
Yeah, at this point they probably have scrapped the F2P model, and maybe even reworked the whole game considering how much time has passed.
Maybe they have even taken a few notes from Dark Souls, but concentrated on dungeon cravling and coopping. It would be a good marketing decision seeing how the series has ended. Good time to tap on that market.
This better be some good sht
Physical could have a future if publishers/manufacturers made an effort to push some changes, but at the current course, they are clearly pushing for more market control and better proffits.
For example, they could push the disc printting on smaller parties or even to some supermarkets, where you could just order a copy and pick it up fresh when you go shopping for food. This would also bring older titles more easily available to buyers or even some indie titles, as long as...
Honestly, I think in general publishers should start transitioning to a model of selling ISOs dirt cheap, so that they could at least milk some extra on the side, but to also make emulation less of a grey area. Alternatively, I think in future it would be absolutely awesome to be able to loan games like books from library, but this would probably need a lot of work if we are talking something fancy like USB sticks loaded with the emulation software + the game (like flashing the stick every ti...
The Cell was a fascinating piece of technology, but Im not sure if we can call it "ahead of its time". I guess it depends on your definition.
It was a pain to develop for, and it was done so intentionally, because Sony would have loved to have a near monopoly with the system after PS2. If people would have fell in love as strongly as they did for the PS2, the idea was to force devs choose or prioritize PS3 due to the nature of development for Cell, and that way ch...
Oh yeah, and Microsoft better not try to pull off some crazy "closing of the marketplace" moves with this setup. If they do ever streamline Windows to the point that everything has to go through this storefront, its essentially going to delegitimize emulation even further, when the opposite should happen.
Alone this is not an issue. I get that selling emulators can seem little dodgy to some stores. Especially when the only legit way of obtaining ROMs is to rip the...
Well... I will kind of miss her. At the end of this series, poking fun at Anita was becoming a new campfire hobby thing.
