I know your english is not up to par, but being a complete dumbass (how is that for universal language)? I never once said that. I said I think 3D games on handhelds is a dumb idea, for many reasons, main reason being on consoles we already have camera issues, move that to a small screen and it only gets worse.

You said they are shit ideas for the same reasons you complain about 3D gaming in general.
You didnt even have extensive 3D gaming experience on handhelds in the past to even have an opinion :rolleyes:
You call them shit ideas based on your personal tastes.

And if thats the offensive attitude I get thats the same attitude you ll get back if you continue like that.

Like I care less, there is no debating any logic with someone of your intelligence. It just simply is not possible. However, due to boredom, I will go ahead with this.

Let me quote myself.

Quote

Mark as me as one who thinks the DS and PSP are both just shit idea\'s. 3D on handhelds, no thanks.

Note the key word in that quote, the key word is "thinks" , this could also be phrased or easily noted as my opinion. Nowhere did I state that 3D gaming was the end all of gaming and that it was bad for everyone. Infact, I actually said "mark me as one thinks". Somewhere in such a simple statement, you got lost and took it as though I said anyone who liked 3D had shitty taste. Not sure where you got that, other than the fact you lack of the basic reading skills.

Do me a favour, get back to me and we\'ll debate. Just make sure your IQ and reading skills have raised above that of a mentally challenged child.

Oh man I see you ve written a composition based on the word THINKS.Oh I see you assume more than I do too
Congrats for your "intelligence".
I d love to see how well you would have done with GREEK
Actually my IQ is decreasing everytime I talk with someone who likes to believe that his IQ is higher.

I\'m playing Mario 64 on my Nintendo DS. It\'s 3D. And it\'s fun. Not a fun as touching my wife\'s boobs while I\'m driving....but still fun.

I never said it wasn\'t fun, I simply said that I think 3D on a handheld is not the way to go. The camera problems will be compounded so badly.

I do tend to forget that some people cannot read the most basic of things. I guess I should cater to those simple people and break it down even more so.

I see you came back.You must be a very bored man to be wasting your time with us "unintelligent people".Shows how interesting your life is?
You also suffer from paranoia.You assume too much.And I thought I was the only one.

I do agree that 2D gaming is more or less the best for handhelds but after seeing ridge racer I think ill be alright. Plus the PSP\'s screen is a lot larger than those of GBA etc. It doesnt make much of a difference but it certainly does something.

« **Reply #25 on:** December 14, 2004, 11:59:52 PM »

I have mine reserved, I can\'t wait! 3D on a handheld might not be for everyone, but it\'s the only thing that would get me to buy one.

Hmm.. From what I\'ve been reading, initial reports of 90 minute battery life are incorrect, with the machine clocking in between 4 to 6 hours.

From InsertCredit:

Yeah, Ridge Racers lasted us just under three hours.

Then we charged the battery to full. It was totally NOT full out of the box. Then we played a combination of Minna no Golf (about four hours) and Ridge Racers (two hours) for the combined total of six hours and three minutes.

Also -- the charger cord is pretty long. The headphone jack is nice. You can use a remote and Pro Eggos on the short cord. Then . . . well. You really won\'t mind playing it at home, Aderack. I mean, granted some excellent games come out for it. The screen is just so high resolution and pretty. Everything moves well. When you\'re lying in bed and playing Armored Core with headphones on late at night -- well. It\'s a nice experience. A nicer experience than I\'ve ever had with a portable system.

I mean, I couldn\'t have the same experience with any of the Gameboys, being that I tend to like to lie in bed in complete darkness.

From IGN:

So we\'ve at last played our way through a full battery charge cycle. In case you don\'t feel like counting, the battery died after about four hours and fourty-five minutes of five different games and one hour of MP3 play. We didn\'t use the WiFi features of the system at all during this time.

Keep in mind that we avoided charging the system a number of times that we could\'ve easily plugged it in (in particular, as we slept). Unless we plan on playing games for more than five hours in a row, the battery seems like it\'ll be okay to us. Of course, for long trips, we may find ourselves picking up a spare just in case (they\'re about $40 at retail).

People who have played Ridge Racer for the whole battery life said it lasted between 3-4 hours. But you\'re right, initial reports were incorrect. (I can\'t find any battery journals with Wi-Fi features on)

IGN\'s Journal:

12:54AM: Status Report
- Battery remaining: 100%
- Full brightness time remaining: 5:49
- Low brightness time remaining: 7:35

12:54AM: Played Games
Ridge Racers, Vampire Chronicles, etc., using system speaker set to full blast and screen alternating between minimum and maximum settings (videos look better when the screen is set to minimum)

1:54AM: Stopped playing games

1:54AM: Status Report
- Battery remaining: 89%
- Full brightness time remaining: 4:52
- Low brightness time remaining: 6:21

Doing your maths, that adds up to about 5 - 6 hours, which is around about the time that posters on the Gaming-Age boards are reporting. And hopefully battery life and load times are examples of things affected by the fact that these games are rushed for launch. I wonder how 2nd/3rd generation games will go.

Depends how graphically intensive the game is. Ridge Racers is more demanding on the system than Vampire Chronicles so it\'s no wonder they are getting more life out of the battery. If you were to play Ridge Racers for the whole battery life it has been confirmed by two journals that it\'s right around 4 hours.

I wonder when Sony will tell developers it\'s okay to go past 3 million poly\'s?
