DrunknMunky Veteran Posted October 29, 2010 Veteran Share Posted October 29, 2010 Hahaha. Now if they had said "Rival 360 in graphical capability", I'd totally get that. At 800x480, it's a ton easier to get 360 visuals which natively run at 720p, or in some cases 1080p. However, processing power? That's a whole different ball game. Absolutely, no way on this planet, that will happen. Not in the next year or so, anyway. Five, or ten, years down the line? Totally forsee that. But not now. Whoever these sources are, they're chatting ****. Spot on :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 So is the thing the size of a book? Unless the author thinks that 1GB of RAM is horsepower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoTrunks Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I'd say it's possible. I don't think anyone really expected the PSP to rival the PS2 in terms of graphics. We also don't know what kind of processor that they're putting on this little guy. Both the Cell and Xenon processors are getting close to 5-6 years old (when you consider their development time, at least). I don't think it's unrealistic to think that they may have been able to miniaturize the components to fit in that form factor by now. Just need to wait and see what it has to deliver.

Corris Veteran Posted October 29, 2010 Veteran Share Posted October 29, 2010 Lol. 1 gigabyte of ram, haha, yea right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowRanger13 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Lol. 1 gigabyte of ram, haha, yea right. Pretty much the standard for cell phones right now is 512MB of ram. Windows 7 phones, iPhone4, high end android handsets are all coming with 512MB of ram. A Phone is something most people upgrade every 2~3 years. A game system usually sticks around for 5~7 years, so it only makes sense to load PSP2 up with ram so its future ready. 1GB makes perfect sense to me. I highly doubt PSP2 will rival xbox360/PS3 in terms of power. Although I think it could easily have half the power. The recent Samsung Galaxy S android phones have the fastest GPU in a phone and it's about 1/3 the power of the PS3 GPU. So 1/2 seems possible today in a pocket format.

LightShadow Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Leave Touch where it belongs and works best. On the DS line. With the 3DS next year, I see the PSP2 having competition. Of course I'm going for the 3DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c3ntury Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 So their trying to basically release the PSP Go.. but a decent version this time? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navan Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Isn't that 90% of games? I usually play on my pc. don't own a console. sometimes go to gaming lounges and it sucks to use the analog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tha Bloo Monkee Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I really really don't understand why people care so much about dual analog sticks.... I've owned a PS1, PS2 and PS3 and I honestly can't remember a game that uses it..... How about any first-person shooter for starters? I refuse to play any FPS on the PSP due to lack of second analog.

LightShadow Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I found a little irony in your statement and your signature :rofl: I was mainly referring to the main Portable Games line (Nintendo + Sony), but if it includes Apple. I say leave it to Apple and Nintendo, and get something new and original for once Sony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say leave it to Apple and Nintendo, and get something new and original for once Sony! What's after touch? By that logic if someone does something, no one else should do it? Meaning since Nintendo made a console, Sony or Microsoft should never have done one because it was not original? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
