Link: Rumor: NGP Specs Downgraded, 2011 Release in Japan

The NGP will release this year in Japan and next year in the rest of the world according to 01.net, a French site tech with a history of reliably reporting leaked Sony information. That same site leaked accurate specs of the NGP weeks before the devices unveiling in January.

According to 01.net's information, non-3G models of the NGP will be priced competitively with the 3DS. Meaning we can expect that the low-end model will cost around $250-$300. In order to reach that price window some sacrifices had to be made. While earlier reports pegged the new handheld as sporting 512MB of RAM, the newest information suggests that Sony has cut that number in half to 256MB. In order to compensate for the loss, the company reduced the size of the OS footprint in memory. 26MB of the 256 is high-speed RAM that can be used for certain tasks that require quicker access to system memory. The 128MB of graphics memory are still in place; however the planned 16MB of internal flash memory have been removed in favor of cheaper external storage.

While none of this information has been confirmed by Sony, 01.net's track record with Sony information lends credence to their claims. One way or another, we'll find out at E3.

Sony is the best because what they usually show looks fine. Even though the Move sucks right now and probably will for a while, I still remember them showing actual hardcore games with it. Yet Microsoft used the 1st 60 mins to talk about how they get COD map packs 1st and the Kinect shit with dancing and weight loss.

Sony usually has 4-5 big bang moments that surprise you. Microsoft rarely has any.

Its the best because its all I have and care about. :smug:

((Just about everything has gone wrong for them. I dont understand why they of all people wouldnt be desperate to kick off the next-next gen.))

NGP is named Playstation Vita.

This is a pamphlet being made out for E3

 

[Tengo Juego]

Had to look up 'Vita' to figure out what the heck it meant. I'm guessing "life" according to what wikipedia lists as it's meaning. PSLife.

 

[KNUBB]

Yeah Vita is "Life" in Italian

Link: Source: Devil May Cry PS3 collection set for E3

A high-definition Devil May Cry collection will be announced for PlayStation 3 at E3, a source has told us. The collection is being made to commemorate the series’ upcoming 10th anniversary. The first Devil May Cry released on PS2 in October 2001.

Another collection, which the source has asked us to keep mum on, will be announced, as well. It will be a dark, dirty, and dangerous collection.

Stay tuned. E3 kicks off next Tuesday.

 

[Twigg4075]

Nice. This was one of the collections I suggested in the 'What HD remakes do you want to see next?' thread.

Now if they would just do the Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank games.

And I bought all three games for 10 bucks to relive memories a couple weeks ago. Should have just been patient.

 

[jms493]

arent you guys tired of playing Devil May Cry??

 

[Misogi]

3 was really good but god damn it was tough. How can anyone get tired of playing DMC?

 

[PepperNY]

I have to admit at first I didnt care about the NGP but you can call me officially interested after the game lineup I have heard. I also heard that they will have a trophy system tied to PSN. I know all this is probably old news but it seems intriguing. Also looking forward to hearing about Twisted Metal. I played the hell out of Twisted Metal 2 back in the day lol

 

[Twigg4075]

Yeah, Sony actually seems to be doing things right with their next handheld, in direct contrast to what Nintendo is doing. Nintendo did improve their online but seemed to regress with everything else. No trophies/cheevos and only one analog stick. Fucking morons. And they wonder why sales aren't meeting their expectations.

The thing that is going to make or break the NGP is the price. The latest rumor is that the non-3G version is going to be "comparable" to the 3DS. So you know the version with 3G is going to be at least three bills. I don't care how impressive the system is (even though they recently announced it will be less impressive with half the RAM they initially reported) there aren't many people that are willing to drop $300 on a handheld.

 

[KNUBB]

Lots of NGP news spilling out today.

NGP Backwards Compatible With and Enhances Your PSP Games
Added by Patrick Klepek on June 2, 2011

Hey, I'm a fan of the God of War games, but I have zero interest in playing the reportedly excellent PSP versions because of the gimped controls. Maybe I'll finally get around to them on my NGP, since Eurogamer is reporting the PSP successor will have full compatibility, with some perks, too.

In addition to simply running existing PSP games via software emulation, NGP enhances them by allowing access to the second analog stick. That'd be awful useful in God of War when Kratos needs to roll away or in Resistance: Retribution, when camera control is mapped to, er, buttons. Gross.

You'll also have the ability to upscale the visuals, too, which means they may even look better!

Between this and the PSP Remaster series, which I'm expecting we'll hear about at E3, Sony seems to be offering plenty of new ways to take another look at PSP's existing library.

Wipeout 2048 will have cross platform multiplayer with PS3's. Think of the options that opens up for games
