Morpheus posted:Gnosia just updated to describe Raqio as a non-binary character who was assigned a male gender at birth, rather than one who 'is, technically, a male' (the old translation) which is pretty cool of them to do. That's good. I was wondering how people took that language when I read it. Most of the Raquio stuff has been pretty well done but that particular line in the data log did give me the initial "you could have said that way better" feeling.

Marx Headroom posted:That thing was ahead of its time. Pause + Resume feature, Bluetooth, onboard flash memory, the works. Only real downside is the slidey bit gets loose over the years. I remember being intrigued by the Go years ago but the PSP just didn't have many games I wanted at the time. Even now most of my games on my PSP 1000 are emulators and PS1 games.

Whoever was in charge of Sony's marketing department back in the mid-2000's must have been on like 5 different drugs. Remember the ads about squirrels who wanted nuts?

I always found it interesting how Sony essentially tried to relaunch the PSP in 2009 not only with the PSP Go but a stream of hits games from them and third parties. Yet for some reason it failed spectacularly. I assume because the handheld gaming to phone gaming transitions was beginning.

homeless snail posted:Its mostly because their games sucked and they kept trying to make console quality PSP games that had 2 minute load times I mean the games got good reviews. Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny, Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker, Gran Turismo, Patapon 2, God of War: Ghost of Sparda, etc. So I assumed they were appealing. That said, as a previous PSP owner, I kind of agree with you. The PSP had tons of well reviewed games but I didn't enjoy any of them besides Darkstalkers. Metal Gear for example was boring and bad. Socom was horrendous. The worst Ys games in the series. Daxter was just like "okay". The system really did seem to suffer from "Sega Syndrome", but maybe that's just me. In contrast the Nintendo DS titles I tended to prefer to their console counterparts.

I think Nintendo's IPs that they have in some cases spent 30+ years cultivating fan bases for , plus that they put out good games for these IPs are what give them the edge over mobile and did over Sonys portables. Sony would have to line up a dozen or more (spread out over a few years) hit portable only games from their biggest IPs to compete. If they are mearly ok and/or going to be on the PS5 (or multiplat) then it would be doomed.

Also Monster Hunter didn't take off in the west the way it did in Japan. Also lovely racist advertising. ExcessBLarg! fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Mar 16, 2021 |

japtor posted:Do emulators have rumble support? Cause Drill Dozer had a rumble cart and the usage was awesome for the feel of the game, particularly on the smaller GB Micro. WarioWare Twisted is another one where ideally you'd want to play on the original hardware. Something I just thought of: If you're playing a gba game on GameCube using a gba player and a GameCube controller, will it pass rumble functions (that the original hardware would send to the cartridge) to the controller?

Yes! In fact, pokemon pinball ruby + sapphire has rumble on a gameboy player, even though the cartridge did not have rumble.

They really should put the GB line (GB, GBC, GBA) on Switch Online, so that everyone who ever wanted to play multiplayer GB games but never could finally can with minimal issue. Man, I loved how the DS was wireless. No more bullshit adapters!

Me thinks the main problem with gaming phones is that they more or less suffer from being a jack of all trades solution. I mean in addition of running games, you have to run all these useless background processes, not to mention fighting for the same storage spaces. You either be an entirely dedicated system like the Switch or you need to buff up your phone hardware to handle all that extra poo poo. But then you'd be paying quite a lot for a gaming phone.

No? The DS could connect to WEP networks. There was a dongle that could share your PC's internet connection with your DS IIRC but it wasn't necessary.
