look at this gorgeous motherfucker. the NGP(next generation portable.... lets just call it the PSP2)
features a 5 inch OLED touch screen and touch pad on the back. the touch pad will work as sort of a mouse. touch controls that keep your finger away from the screen.
you'll now be able to push and pull, grab and who knows what the fuck else. one of the examples shown was this like create sort of mode thing and you would push the back and on screen a hill in this empty landscape would form.
the system also has dual camera for virtual play and perhaps some social application because apparently it will have an option for 3G.
they talk of this idea of a continuous online. who has what game and where they are playing and then you can just jump right in.
this thing has so many features its mind boggling.
it has a six axis gyroscope. which can be used for various things even aiming for shooters although with the other nub i doubt you'd want to.
the back pad will alloy for some sort of rhythmed walk (let, right, left, right) with the taps. idk how exactly that works, but the touch pad sounds interesting.
did i mention the graphics are just a small step from the PS3?
sadly no videos or pictures yet on that, but there is good word on that.
as for games. not bad. an app called Near that uses the GPS to make a map of where you are going.
some japanese game...
Lost Planet 2
.... MGS4?
not doing it for ya?
how about UNCHARTED!
----------
sadly or awesomely this is not a "portable" version this is the actual game. as i said just a smudge under the ps3 in graphics.
the idea of the same game capable of fitting on a portable device is insane but the same idea that its not an original game being lined up is kind of disappointing.
