My thoughts Here are my thoughts, I am not against this back of the unit, touch interface type direction that Sony could be going with. If anything I am all for this idea. For a while now, I have always asked myself why haven't more devices had a buttons on the back of a unit, or any type of control method to that matter, I really believe it wouldn't be all that awkward to use. Saying this though, I personally would need the full package (Dual Analogue, Dpad, Buttons as well as this touch interface). If Sony does go forward with this, I really believe that people will ask them selves a year or two down the line, why on earth did touch devices use the screen area. Saying this though, the touch interface would be a nice aid to buttons and analogue, however if Sony go with pure touch, I would be highly disappointed. I am not keen on companies battling with devices, sacrificing elements just because another has a 'new and intuitive' control method. If its not broken, dont try and fix it. I work in the games industry, and I can see why the industry is pro DLC and pure online content. The game I am working on right now is purely XBLA and PSN, however I really am not pro DLC, I dont mind the fact its there, as It can be handy, however I will hate to see the day when box titles are wiped out. I personally really like to have a physical piece of software in my hands, I cant see that changing in my mind. In regards to the clamshell approach, I love this idea. I would like to see a fold-over clamshell type design, where the top clamshell would have the touchpad interface on the underneath side, so when flipped over to reveal the screen, the touch pad is revealed face out on the back. Well there are some thoughts from me.
ebook reader? netbook? OK, thats it, kotaku is officially huffing paint now... The libré was a dissaster and reader isnt that far behind, ask any market analyst and he'll tell you netbooks are losing market to tablets. Either kotaku is spoonfeeding the bullshit again, or sony wants to top the retardness of the UMD.
I'd go with Kotaku just doing 1 + 1 = 12. Actually all PSP2 rumors pretty much are. They're trying to combine them all together as if they all fit together when some are wrong, some are right and some are half truths.
Psp 2 just not gona be as big as psp1 imo. One you have to consider no 3d without glasses as one factor. Another factor was how horable psp go was dispite sony trying everything to suport it no one would buy it and developors just wouldn't support it. Then you have people complaining about the japanese price of the 3ds and we can only asume psp2 will be even more expencive. Just what i think anyway.
http://kotaku.com/5672410/psp2-will...uch-pad-and-be-out-fall-2011?skyline=true&s=i I know this is a fan-made design as it mentioned but I hope the original one won't be like this. We don't want another shit like PSP Go.
I'd have to agree with Trekkie, and what are you talking about the size having to do with glasses free 3D? I never heard anything about any PSP with 3D, so I don't know where the hell that came from.
That is my point it dotn have it. It just it seems alot of peopel are reving over nintendo 3d without glasses gimic.
Cant understand a word, anyways FFS stop quoting kotaku, those asspirates dont know shit: why would the PSP2 be a slider like the Go is it doesnt have a touchscreen? why would they use that POS layout again?
I hate it when sites put up those "fan made mockups". What's the point? The systems never end up looking anything like those anyway.
If it doesn't have glasses free 3D then me thinks Nintendo is going to leave them in the dust again. But then, everything we know is speculation and rumor, so who knows? :shrug:
They've gotta have an image for the article. And besides , you are an idiot if you think it's official in the first place if you actually read the dang thing
Boy, I hate magazines sometimes. The crap they deem publishable. "Whoa, it's so FUNKY LOOKING!" Then all the kids at school are complaining about how idiotic some system looks because they saw some shoddy 3D render done by some C-level community college student that the mag bought because it was cheap.
Since when has kotaku been a real news source? Kotaku is just an ad revenue generation site, part of a network of similar sites all designed to have crazy headlines and harvest ad money. Kotaku just steals news from other places for the most part.
Yep. I like it when they even throw in a dash of their opinions into the article. They totally shit on logic. So many times they do 1 + 1 = 7. :gravedigging:
