THE TUNNEL PEOPLE HAVE IT NOW http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1326187/Las-Vegas-tunnel-people-How-1-000-people-live-shimmering-strip.html
Living in a flood tunnel? That seems like a pretty stupid idea to me. Although the way they made furniture out of junk is kind of cool. Reminds me of Fallout 3.
This is why it's good being an idevice owner You don't have to worry about situations such as these: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/918340-psp/57118697 As the scene is dominated by indie devs with little incentive needed that are always there with much shorter development lengths in between games. Imagine being only a psp owner the last few years how much that would suck.
you are right everyday i wake up and go to toucharcade and i say "hey these 2 new games looks sweet" idevice is awesome and soon with mutant TV and infinity blade idevice's will be better then psp's
I like having the entire screen unobstructed. I like being able to save games and back them up to any source I wish. I like that it's one hardware/firmware spec. I like the back catalogue. And I like that being a gamer I've got almost every gaming device so I can play pretty much every game on anything. I have said this again and again: until the iDevice lets you save a SINGLE game independently of others then it is not a gaming device as far as Apple are concerned. Right now I cannot put 10 hours into Final Fantasy, save that, remove the game and then restore JUST THAT GAME and it's save. Not possible.
As I am - but Apple will not do this. So Apple do not take gaming seriously enough to do anything about it yet.
I'm tired of people saying the iPhone is better than the PSP, and adding one of the reasons as the fact that iPhone gets a ton of new games every day, where PSP only gets a few here and there now... but the thing is: Out of those 100 iPhone games, how many are actually good? And also, how many of those 100 will last you more than 20 minutes of novelty gameplay? I am not a fanboy, but people to need to shut the **** up about the iPhone being better than the PSP. It's not true. It's a preposterous generalization.
Well I just dusted off my original PSP fat the other day and bought PES 2011 for it. Immediately I was reminded that the PSP is actually a GAMING device. The football experience is ridiculously much better on the PSP than any of the iDevice games. It's not even in the same universe. Gameplay, depth (proper management, star player career etc), graphics, sounds. Everything is so incredibly much better.. so much so that my iPhone 3GS looks like a joke. I also played some older games like Wipeout Pure and Pulse. EA Fight Night round 3, Sega Genesis collection, Capcom Remixed and Reloaded, God Of War hero of sparta (the new one that just came out is apparently just as good, if not better). I've been constantly reminded of just how many good games with incredible depth there is/was on the PSP.. not to mention the flawlessly working emulators on a hacked system. NES, SNES.. heck, even MAME working extremely well. However, I agree with the sentiment that the PSP is dead, the main reason being that Sony is such an incredibly stupid and arrogant company. They haven't been innovating for a long time now and are pricing and designing completely ridiculous things. The PSPI is still a far more mature gaming platform than the iDevices. I'd even say it's still superior, but this is probably due to the nature of the app store.. reducing production budgets to minimal levels so developers never have a chance to really push the hardware to it's limits. There are still only a hand full of truly AA+ titles on the app store. They are actually much fewer than on the PSP. This will eventually change though. I just hope some company soon releases a proper controller accessory for the devices. Two analogue nubs and plenty of buttons would totally do it for me. Cheers! bManic
You dont have an iPhone 4 bManic so you will never know how close we are to true gaming. The whole point of an iDevice is to get rid of the pesky buttons. You think Sony is arrogant look at Apple. Apple will be the ultimate vitor.
Tell Bioware or Gearbox or Activision or Rockstar that Apple, with it's 10 dollar pricing structure will be the "victor" over every other gaming platform in existence, where the pricing structure ranges between 29.99-59.99, and they will laugh at you. to the majority of major multi-platform/console developers, the iDevice is a novelty at best and an irelevant joke at worst. Nintendo will be the victor. The 3DS will ruin the iDevice in terms of actual gaming. Ruin it, completely. Nintendo has been the king of handheld gaming for the last 10 years and they are about to prove once again to everyone why this is the case. Yeah, they've lost their foothold a little, for now. Remember, the DS is an older system. But once the 3DS releases, they'll be back on top again, no doubt. If Sony releases the PSP2 and it comes with duel analog nubs and is much more secure in it's anti-piracy measures, they can still get back into this thing and compete. The PSP as it's currently consistituted is dead. Nobody will argue that. It's nothing more than an afterthought now. Piracy killed the PSP, even more so than the Dreamcast.
Nintendo 3DS, come-on. Only kids will buy one of those. Nintendo games all seem kid focused. Who here would buy one? Not me, plus I devices have better graphics then DS's anyway. And sony psp2 is just a rumer at the moment.
I like to think of it more like this: Look at all that has happened in the App Store since it opened on July 10, 2008. Not a very long span of time. There have been portable gaming devices with buttons for a while. (I've owned every one.) We're in the infancy of iDevice gaming, and it rocks. Not always necessary to say X is better than Y. Just think of the games we'll have when iPhone 6 rolls around. And yeah, regarding Apple "not taking gaming seriously." Are you kidding me? Just because they can't implement EVERY feature every iDevice gamer would want doesn't mean they don't take it seriously. Game Center? It's a bit rough around the edges yeah, but it's basically 1.0, ya know? Give it time... development cycles are necessary, and sometimes leaving out features is better. Half baked implementations suck, they frustrate everyone in the end.
Such an ignorant post. I am picking one up for sure. And many of my friends are picking one up as well. Have you seen the game lineup for it? It's looking damn good right now, and not just tailored to children. Nintendo games, for the most part, are tailored for all audiences, no matter the age. Some people might think that just because the games have no blood and gore, or there's not much violence to be had, that this automatically makes them mere "children games", but that's not the case at all. Nintendo is a lot like Pixar: They make products that everyone can enjoy, on an equal level, no matter if you're 5 or 500. But again, the lineup for the 3DS is looking damn good. Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Mario Kart, Kid Icarus... totally. As for the iDevices having better graphics than the DS? Yes. The best games on iDevices do have better graphics than DS games for the most part. I'm not debating that. What I am debating, though, is that graphics should never be a deciding factor in what games you play. Sure Super Mario Bros. might not have the most beautiful 3D models and amazing lighting and textures, but that doesn't mean it's a bad game nor that you should talk down on it just because some game came along that looked better than it. Also, for you to say the graphics on the iDevice are better than the DS and using that as a defense point for why the 3DS will suck... that's the most ignorant part of your post. The 3DS will obviously have a huge bump in graphics. Gameplay videos that have been shown are putting it somewhere between Gamecube and Xbox 360 graphics. That's what it appears to be when looking at gameplay videos and screenshots. Whether it holds up really well is not entirely clear, but it's Nintendo, with their new handheld, so I'm sure they'll make sure it's as smooth of a release as possible. And the PSP2 is not just a rumor. It's been confirmed by many developers and I believe Sony put in an official word a couple weeks ago.
Ok, sorry for being ignorant. I don't think the hype for the 3DS is that big here in Australia, Non of my Mates are getting one. They prefer there PS3's and Xbox's and other then that there phone. I think the fact that one of the major iOS devices is a phone is why developers will continue to develop for it, otherwise we might not have seen iOS succeed as good as it has.
@MasterChief The launch titles for the 3DS are awesome. One of the things that got me so excited for the 3DS. At first it SOUNDED gimmicky (what with everything going 3D today; so stupid), but having exchanges with people more familiar with how it is in real life... this could be a great portable gaming device! But yeah... so many good launch titles slated for release. Not that Nintendo has been slipping up a whole lot... a bit.. yes. The 3DS will make a big splash I predict. A bit concerned about price-point though if they realllllly want to sell units.
