Sony NGP Impressions?
« on: February 13, 2011, 09:06:21 pm »
The Sony NGP will inevitably be the Nintendo 3DS's rival. It's Sony's next generation in its portable series of hand helds.

Here's its specs and features.

--3G connectivity, which means 'always on' internet like that of a mobile which can be used to download things as well as for online gaming. It will also have Wifi as well.

--5 inch high resolution (960x544) OLED screen

--Dual analog sticks

--A touch screen and a touch pad on the back

--Two cameras able to take pictures and videos

--Accelerometer and gyro sensors

--Augmented reality

What do you think? Is anyone impressed?

I might get it as long as its not too pricey. I'm actually a Sega fanboy rather than a Nintendo one so I don't have any allegiance problems getting it  ;D .

I do prefer Nintendo games though and it will probably be the case that the NGP will be too expensive for me anyway but it looks pretty good. The 3DS pull is a bit stronger for me basically because it has 3D and the games that I want.

There are a few games I want on the NGP such as Yakuza (obviously) and Uncharted but I don't desperately want them.
3DS games I want: Paper Mario, Mario Kart, Kid Icarus, Metal Gear Solid.

One of the chosen 'First Five'

I will undoubtedly buy a Nintendo 3DS first, but if income allows me a Sony NGP I will probably have one.

I probably won't get it, it doesn't really bring anything new :/
