I will fecking not! Didn't you hear Weaste? We are all mentally ill for wanting to play an old game again!
I don't know, there's always homebrew
No I didn't! I said buying a new system specifically for a remake of an old game. Like buying a 3DS specifically for OoT or Snake Eater.

Fine if you already have a 3DS because you wanted a 3DS, but to buy a 3DS specifically for it when you already have a PS2 etc.?
Just picked up my 3DS....so suckle on my teets lambs, you too Weaste.
OoT looks terrific, the controls are perfect, the visuals look great...heck even the 3D looks astonishing. Shame that they didn't use an orchestral score for the music, but its as stellar as ever.
They even kept that fecking annoying Owl that tricks you into repeating his dialogue

Blow it out of your arse.
But in all seriousness, this is the sort of game that baffles me. It baffles me because there's still people who dislike Nintendo and want them to fail, or still think the 3DS has horrible 3D graphics. Sometimes it's not about polygon counts, sometimes it's not about long FMV sequences to tell some pretend deep story, sometimes it's not about having to buy a game and then wait for a patch to actually play it properly.
Sometimes it's just about craft and soul.
Technology may push on and you may get clearer/prettier results, but you certainly only get genius once in a very lonesome while. Whereas Nintendo seem to hit home more often than not, that's why they are still around and that's why the likes of M$ and $ony still to this date try to emulate.

Have you been drinking?
Btw have you played it?
It all goes to show at the end of the day how much of a rip-off merchant Apple is. 3G 16GB iPhone 4 unlocked in the US - $649. Hardware wise, it's a down-powered Vita, Vita could actually run iOS better than an iPhone or an iPad.
PSP vita (wifi) to retail for just $249!
The 3G version will be $299. The americans get it so damn cheap. Expect us to have to fork out around £249
PlayStation Vita launches globally by end of 2011, starting at $249 | Joystiq

Will it be region-free? Might just get my sister to pick one up for me in the States.
We had this earlier in the thread. The US price does not include things such as 21% VAT, higher labour costs and social security costs, higher corporate taxes, higher transports costs within the EU, localisation in terms of language, etc. You can't simply pluck an exchange rate out of your arse and expect equality.
I don't care. A PSV is not worth £250 to me since I'm not bothered by its 1st party titles, and also the fact I already have a 3DS.
$250 on the other hand..
My god, that's one hell of a price drop. I knew that it wasn't selling too well, but that's some drastic action there.
Indeed, they're obviously intent on establishing a strong foothold before the Vita arrives. To be honest, I might consider picking one up if the price drop is that significant.
Apparently, according to their earnings report, they only sold 770k 3DS in the last quarter world wide, and as you say with Vita coming along they need to move, but even still, that price drop is massive for such a young piece of hardware. They really need to differentiate it from the DS though, because I truly think that the majority of consumers think that it's simply a DS revision with 3D. Those not interested in 3D will keep going for the cheaper DS. The naming of the thing was a massive mistake IMO. The goal posts have moved as well with iOS and Android taking a lot of the casual crowd.
That was a criticism of the WII-U name for their new home console too.
It will be an interesting few months. They have some Mario titles and Starfox coming out along with the recent Ocarina remake. If these titles coupled with the price drop fail to sell the system then it could be a bit of a disaster.
Crazy thing is that in the last quarter the PS2, yes the PS2, sold as many as the DS, double the 3DS, and not much less than the Wii. Only 400k less than the PS3 and 300k less than XB360 for the quarter.
If we go all the way back to when XB360 was launched, it's not far short of selling more units than XB360 or PS3 in the same time scale. It's the cash cow that just keeps on giving. WTF!

I remember reading on neogaf that since its realease, the PS3 has sold 50m units, whilst the PS2 has sold 50.1m
PS2 surely has to go down as the best games console ever.
At this rate the Wii will be put to bed and the PS2 will still be selling! Emerging markets eh? No hardware costs, pure profit, no need to develop much software as its library is massive as is (just need to press more DVDs), full of shit and also full of high quality. Crazy, crazy machine!
Delayed until 2012, will only be released in Japan this year.
Recent heavy price drop of 3DS and a bonus I just got at work put together made me very keen in a purchase. How many interesting games are out there, realistically? Zelda looks top notch, Resident Evil is another title I definitely want to play, Driver will be out in three weeks and looks solid as well. Anything else?
Streetfighter 4, Starfox if it's out?
I'm growing frustrated with this system before I even bought it. There are about three solid games, each costing $30 at least, with about three more to come within the next six months. There isn't even a Mario or a Donkey Kong game that would sell the system. I'm not going to buy Street Fighter or Asphalt because I could get the exact same game for a iPhone for a few dollars. How are they going to compete with it?
I'm probably going to buy it anyway but I'm starting to reconsider it if all I'm going to do with it is to complete Zelda and then stuck it on the shelf.

I've got it on android, it works surprisingly well!

I've not played it but I imagine buttons will pop up on a screen or I will simply tap random parts of the screen to generate desired moves. It might not be that bad, I've played Fight Night and MMA and both worked very well.
I'm not having it. People buy dedicated arcade sticks to play games like that, you can't do it on a touch screen and it be the same game.
Lambs, I know you like all of this new fangled casual stuff, but you wouldn't seriously play a racing game by tilting your screen to steer on say an iPad over even some sticks over a proper setup with a wheel now would you? My brother in law has a decent looking racing game on his iPad, god knows what it's called, and when he sees my son playing GT5 he always sits next to him and starts playing it, my son just looks at it and says meh! WTF is that shit?

Well, if you only want to have a fight or complete one or two races every now and again to keep you occupied for five minutes, then there is nothing wrong with playing this sort of games on an iPhone or iPad, especially as you are likely to have devices with you at all times. It's not supposed to replace a PS3 or an Xbox in terms of gaming, it's just a thing to keep you occupied when you're bored and have no alternative of playing any of the above, like for example when I took my car to get it washed today and waited 45 mins while they were doing it - I would have been bored to death but played Driver on my iPhone instead, then switched to FIFA and beat Arsenal 3-1 with some crisp passes.
That may be the case, but what you are playing is something different to the original game. It might have the same name, it might look similar, but it cannot play in the same way, it's not possible. You are playing something different, and that's fine. There is no way that a touch screen can be used for most traditional game types without changing the game itself, it's not possible. My thumb can cover an entire d-pad, but at least I know from tactile feedback where my thumb is and what it is pressing down on. Not only with a touch screen do my two thumbs now cover over 1/3 of the screen, I have zero clue as to where they actually are or what they are "pressing", because, well, you aren't actually pressing anything, you are making touch based gestures.
Comparing it to DS though it's not really that much worse in terms of controls and offers the same sort of entertainment for much less money when it comes to pricing of games, and you don't need to carry additional device. Vita will be slightly different as it's going to have a wider library of games as it seems and it will be much more powerful than iPhone 4 (cannot comment on a difference between that and smartphones that will be on the market at the time of Vita release).

I had a 30 second blast on it in a shop and I used the normal buttons. I would have played longer, but my nephew was practically salivating to have a go, so I stood aside.
I was playing the original 2 championship edition and it works better than the d-pad on a 360 controller (that's not saying something).
It works because they've made the controls (buttons on the bottom of the screen) a slight more lapse. I can pull off all the moves at will, which in reality makes it even better than an arcade stick for that purpose.
Are you kidding me? How the hell do you get the opinion that I like this casual shit? You must be mad man!
There is no such thing as a decent racing game on the iPhone! It can't possibly work, especially for someone like me who ONLY plays racing games with feedback wheels.
