but whoever made that should actually integrate it into the PSP. for all i know it cold just be a small touch screen sitting on top of a PSP screen with a stupid little program running on it.

Darksaviour696172d ago

the touch screen is sitting on top of a PSP screen, in the video

SpecialSauce6172d ago

but it doesn't do anything!!!!

Darksaviour696172d ago

err yes it does, the original screen under is responding to the input (touch) correctly.

you do know its a tech demo.

RealityCheck6172d ago

I have nothing against an optional touchscreen for casual\puzzle games. However for real games any new iteration MUST HAVE a second thumbstick or analog control. Anything less will be a failure in my opinion.

SpecialSauce6172d ago

they should shrink the right buttons and add one.

Fernando Rocker6172d ago (Edited 6172d ago )

Aparently you dont have experience with how FPS works with a touchscreen, specially on the DS.

The lower DS touchscreen acst like a mini-mouse, and the d-pad acts like the AWSD keyboad keys. The left trigger is for shooting.

All the action is happening in the upper screen.

So, you aim with the stylus and move wth the d-pad, just like a keyboard and mouse. Much faster and accurate than double analogs.

Try Dementium, Metroid Prime Hunters, Brothers in Arms, Call of Duty... or coming soon Core, Moon, Duke Nukem DS, etc.

Check the video and you can see how FPS works with a stylus... is the closest to a K & M.

Chubear6172d ago (Edited 6172d ago )

A second analog stick may sound good but it'd be uncomfortable as hell and would make you hands ache after 15mins of using the thing. Touch screen was the next obvious inclusion to the system but it's obviously also an added option instead of a replacement to analog and D-buttons.

Nicely said 1.2

joeymp6172d ago

See the touchscreen would be great, especially for navigating through the XMB. But you still need a second analog stick for FPS's because while it may work on the DS, the PSP only has 1 screen, and therefore your finger would always be in the way.

Is he on a train or something? What a strange place to record such a video.

frostquake6172d ago

We don't need Touch on PSP, Or maybe it would bring DS owners over to the PSP?

Baka-akaB6172d ago

it would ensure DS/ds2 titles to be multiplatform and coming to psp too . there is like a handful of titles using the two screens , the only thing really needed would be the touch .

TheMART6172d ago

Exactly!

I want buttons to smash on, with force and not holding back because I have to take care about the screen.

Thats why also the iPhone in my opinion will never be a threath to the PSP.

ParadoxicalAssassin6172d ago

maybe with this we could have a ds emulator to play ds games

AMD CEO Shares Vision Behind Xbox Partnership and Next-Gen Chip Roadmap

AMD CEO Lisa Su talks about the Xbox AMD partnership, next-gen Ryzen + Radeon chips, and AI rendering tech coming to all Xbox devices.

AMD is really building hype around their unique partnership with Microsoft to help and build an advanced and seamless Xbox ecosystem across all Xbox consoles and devices.

I wonder what she meant by "full roadmap of gaming optimized chips" though? Seems ambitious.

Next year´s Xbox Showcase already looks promising and exciting. Here´s hoping they deliver.

InUrFoxHole2d ago

They had best show 3yrs in a row. Heading for another

VenomUK2d ago

Obscure_Observer said “I wonder what she meant by "full roadmap of gaming optimised chips" though? Seems ambitious.” To me, I interpret this to mean rather than having a couple of X/S products for launch and a handheld there is a longer term plan to release new products with higher specs at timed intervals. I’m speculating of course, but this could mean a spec bump every year or two, so that even if the PS6 or Steam Deck Home is released a year after ‘Xbox’ Microsoft can release an updated model that has a higher spec.

But Microsoft forgot the games.

KwietStorm_BLM2d ago

It's X3D chips for console. Everyone knows this. And it's been rumored in the PS6 forever.

Ganif2d ago

Correct.

"Sony's PlayStation 6 reportedly will feature an AMD semi-custom APU with a Zen 5 CPU and UDNA GPU, capable of 4K 120FPS and 8K 60FPS gaming. The console will include X3D cache and advanced AI upscaling technology."

"It's X3D chips for console. Everyone knows this. And it's been rumored in the PS6 forever."

I doubt that AMD´s CEO would waste her time making this huge and important partnership announcement over a tech that will be 7 years old by the those next gen consoles will be released.

Notellin1d 22h ago

You should have just lead this comment with the fact that you have zero understanding of technology in the consoles and instead have a Toms Hardware online forum level of education.

"I’m speculating of course, but this could mean a spec bump every year or two, so that even if the PS6 or Steam Deck Home is released a year after ‘Xbox’ Microsoft can release an updated model that has a higher spec."

Very interesting theory. Still not sure how MS would actually make it work.

"I doubt that AMD´s CEO would waste her time making this huge and important partnership announcement over a tech that will be 7 years old by the those next gen consoles will be released."

How old is the tech in consoles? It's not a huge announcement. It's marketing and you know it is.

Obscure_Observer23h ago(Edited 23h ago)

"How old is the tech in consoles? It's not a huge announcement. It's marketing and you know it is."

Dude, what I know for certain is that a tech as old as X3D chips which is actually *older* than both PS5 and Xbox Series consoles, is hardly the reason behind this new partnership between AMD and MS to build new *custom silicon* for next generation of consoles.

And yes it´s a huge announcement since AMD is working closely with MS to co-develop custom SoC which will allow backwards compatibility across all MS´s next gen devices allowing seamless integration between devices and full backwards compatibility across all generations of Xbox consoles.

I also know is that this announcement don´t have anything to do with Playstation and their strategy with AMD for the PS6, so stop comparing the two pretending that you know what´s going on, because you clearly don´t.

If Sony is working on something remotely similar, that´s remain to be seen.

Some odd, deliberate wording, no branding, not 'Xbox consoles, Xbox handhelds' specifically, feels and sounds like they're building towards hardware that anyone can be used or licensed to/by themselves and other manufacturers.

Multiplatform software and hardware 'Xbox/AMD APU'.

Obscure_Observer2d ago

I guess you missed Sarah Bond´s next generation Xbox announcement this week, were she clearly states:

"I´m thrilled to share that we´ve established a strategic multi-year partnership with AMD to co-engineer silicon across a portfolio of devices, including, *our* next generation *Xbox consoles*."

But hey, I don´t think you´re entirely wrong, maybe MS will build their own Xbox consoles while licencing other manufactures to build and sell their own Xbox branded consoles. Who knows

BeHunted2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I think you watched the wrong video. It's below the description, or you can watch it directly on YouTube.

Shares vision....we provide chips for money, this deal will sell many chips, we will make lots of money...good vision

Christopher2d ago

The marketing behind this is so heavy that I worry about the actual outcome. Why are they just not showing us the product, why all this talking in market speak?

Lightning772d ago

Probably because the next xbox isn't ready to release yet?

The marketing and rumors seem to be heavy out of no where. The rumor was a 27 release but it maybe it could be 26 new console launch instead.

Who knows.

Eonjay2d ago

There PR is alrways super heavy handed. No one is acutally buying an Xbox as is.
Also it is very early to be talking so much about a next gen console.

Obscure_Observer1d 22h ago

There´s a lot of people interested on Xbox Next and its ability to run games from major stores like Steam.

We know that the PS6 is just around the corner as well, but so far, no news on what it might improve over the PS5 or PS5 Pro.

However, Sony already made public that their priority and actual focus is the PS6. So its not "very early" to talk about next gen when the very console manufactures are talking about it.
