boobless Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 (edited) Click if you see red x http://common.ziffdavisinternet.com/util_g...&i=46494,00.jpg This if from Sony's share holders meeting from earlier today. Hope this is not the final design, flat buttons, no d-pad, looks a bit uncomfertable to hold, not very gamer friendly. But still looks very slick tho.

AndyD Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 It may not be ergonomic but damn that looks nice. heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzla Veteran Posted November 4, 2003 Veteran Share Posted November 4, 2003 Without looking at the Ergonomics of it, it looks ****ING AMAZING, so damn sleek. But once you look into the usability of it, it's pretty bad for the reasons you've said. Thankfully those downsides that you mentioned are fixable and the design is sweet as hell.

thecowgoesmoo207 Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 looks cool, just needs a d-pad, and maybe a detachable keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzla Veteran Posted November 4, 2003 Veteran Share Posted November 4, 2003 Personally I'd like to see us moving away from the D-Pad. The little stick on the Neo Geo Pocket Color was 100% flawless and was so goddamn amazing. Detachable keyboard is stupid as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~clean Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Very true, the NGp was a amazing console to use ! Im realy glad that theres one on the gp32, that console is realy paying off its ace, Only thing that is letting it down is the lack of title that are avalable for the console, realy needs more specific games for it.

MEMO.INC Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 It looks pretty nice. I think you all are right about a better pad. but that looks sweet. I hope they'll include pda-like capabilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomis_nehc Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 for me, I couldn't do the sliding motions necessary for special moves in fighting games for neo geo pocket. otherwise, it was the bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquid Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 hmm, seems fake, the Screen looks kinda akward, and there is no SONY on the model. Thats kind odd for sony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draugluin Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Screw ergonomics. This thing looks great, and should perform great if it is a portable playstion One Graphics. The D-Pad won't ever be replaced cause its a valuable asset to the gaming world, we grew up on D-Pads, and we will always use D-pads till the day of virtual reality becomes an inhome thing, and still a portable virtual system will be unlikely. The Directional Sticks aren't that great, cause you can be clumsy with those and it really requires no skill to use it. Like performing combos with a D_pad has some bit of difficulty, but with a stick it is simple. but then again that could be just me. Great looking portable system, hopefully the final design doesn't go far from this. i even dig the little wrist thing so you can keep it close by, LEET!

altezza Veteran Posted November 7, 2003 Veteran Share Posted November 7, 2003 Cool concept but I personally think they need to make every buttons bit bigger because some of gamers fingers were just too big I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
