Video from Sony's NGP panel: Uncharted Portable, Little Deviants, and augmented dino-reality

Joystiq - Christopher Grant writes:

"In order to show developers precisely what NGP is capable of – and to break up the fifty plus slides used in the one hour presentation! – Sony shared three live demos of NGP software and we dutifully recorded them."

I hope we're not forced to use the touch pad controls for Uncharted, because the game plays perfectly on PS3 as it is.

I can't wait to get my hands on this beast!

OMG Sony is running Windows! Fanboy fight!

On topic: That is some cool ass tech. I want a dinosaur in my pocket!

[MerkinMax]

Are you really that ignorant?

[RememberThe357]

...You couldn't see the sarcasm in that? What about those two sentences seemed serious?

[blackburn5]

*wipes drool off mouth* I think I will be going to preorder this. *runs off to preorder this* BTW small question. Why does everyone assume NGP UC is going to be $hit because you use the touch controls? Everyone has been using the DS's touch screen for years, unnecessarily most of the time, and never heard any one say it was $hit. Why do you assume that this will be $hit then? Also that Trex augmented reality demo was awesome.

you dont have to use the touchscreen its an option

[NiKK_419]

plus it's a big capacitive screen, unlike the DS's squishy resistive screen, so you won't have to hold a pen in your hand while you play (hated that, it was uncomfortable)

so psp killed syphon filter, damn it.

billy looks so bored. he knows he is a nintendo fanboys why not go to theirs.

i am going to here him be all" i wasn't impressed but with what they showed but i was impressed with remake of a remake of a nes game on 3ds

I dont know how augmented reality would work with games but I like it. Only way I could see it is if they had pokemon and you could battle with another player that way.. or something.

Edit: Also why couldnt they use the back touch screen for jumping over logs in Uncharted. I dont think no one would want to move their hand to touch the screen then move it back.

well there is many uses.

example:

in the case of little big planet example:

like for instance not just textures but everyday object's that can be used in the game like use tinker toy's to create an object an the NGP animates it in the game! there is some LIMIT'S to that based on generic object's an shapes an how the software will interpret such Object's..Sony has been working on AR for a very long time..Eyepet is a good example.

another one is something like Mattel:

I skipped immediately to the uncharted video

[Masterchef2007]

2 bad for me the colors were all washed out. Sad cause the videos are good quality

[Masterchef2007]

The AR on the NGP seems to be a lot more advanced then what Nintendo uses despite the 3DS having a 3D camera. Also from the looks of the video the touch screen is extremely responsive and seems to be better than what we had on the DS.

I also enjoy the fact that with the games you are not obligated to use the touchscreen which to me is great since many ppl hate touchscreens.

What really impresses me the most about the NGP is its beautiful OLED screen. Im just happy that Sony chose this screen type over LCD since i personally own a walkman X and i love the colors that an OLED screen produces. Battery life should improve as a result of using OLED technology.
