For many years rumours have gone around about a possible PSP2. It's been 6 years since the original came out and since then several model upgrades have been released, none of them being an actual new system though. Whilst products like the PSP Go added features like DS3 support, there has been no real innovation or sense of moving onto pastures greater. That's all changed as Sony has unveiled the true successor to the PSP: The PSP NGP or 'Next Generation Portable'. The awkward sounding name is currently just a placeholder but if it's called the PSP2 officially or not, that's what people will end up calling it.
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.
I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.
I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons
I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.
Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.
At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath
I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.
Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
psp was always technically far superior but Nintendo has strong franchises and mascots which drive the platform for the most part. pokemon, mario, zelda... need i go on?
ofc psp has great games as well but they are not as universally well known.
That depends, I mean the DS has a very diverse audience. The hardcore part would seem likely with this new device as its entire creation was based on consumer requests.
Price could also determine that, but every platform has a following and that percentage would only buy Nintendo made software.
So who knows really.
All I know is the NGP as it is already steals its thunder but that alone isnt enough.
A good price and a good line up can potentionally start things for sure.
i think its a very different audience, its like trying to offer an alienware laptop to an ipad user. Nothing wrong with either audience, its just they have different tastes in game genres.
No, People who play Zelda, Mario, Star Fox and Pokemon ect will always but Nintendo products.
-Especially the millions of Pokemon fans
This is the best, non-biased article I have read about the NGP.
