What the hell's up with HDTVs anyway? They're just TVs with HD screens

What the hell was the point of the PS3, its just a more powerful PS2.

You are taking me out of context. I was arguing in reply to a post that claimed the 3DS did things in a new and interesting way when in fact it does not do that much different from the existing DS.

3D is new and interesting.

More new and interesting than touch controls, 3G or compatibility with phones. Those things might be new to PSP, but they aren't anything like new in general.

A 3D screen on a portable device might not be unheard of before, but the 3DS will be the first mass market device in the west to have one.

I've watched a lot of films in 3D and for me the fad as sort of faded. I'm sure it will appeal to the mass market but I don't really think it is that interesting. In two years or so the 3D obsession will have died away and there won't be as much consumer interest though.

But it's glasses-less 3D. In your hands!

The NGP is just Sony's answer to the original DS, they've just done Sony's typical "Let's do what they did. BUT MORE!" approach.

It doesn't need 3 touch inputs, it doesn't need sixaxis, it doesn't need 3G. Just do a more powerful PSP and shove some proper games on there :fp:

Then launch it for a respectable price and you're sorted.

I think you are wrong.

For starters there haven't been a lot of films that have been great in 3D, thats the fault of the films, not the tech.

Further, I'm hoping nintendo can use 3d implementation to affect gameplay.

Sorry, but that is wrong, wrong, wrong. Immersive 3D is here to stay. Soon all movies will be 3D as standard.

In a system that doesn't require you use the 3D in your games? Remember some people can't see the effect, you are then alienating those consumers.

If the system didn't have the slider I would be fully behind your statement by the way.

What about people that have no hands?

Well, stick a disclaimer on the box - requires 3d. Not too many people can't see it, surely? You'll be wanting them to cater for the blind next! :roll:

The 3D effect has been known to cause head aches etc for extended plays, so having a game rely on it isn't going to go down well. I honestly think Nintendo could be the only developer capable of defining gameplay in 3D, but by not making as standard they are kinda hamstrung.

Kinect is for them, if they get someone to use the menus for them :shifty:

3G and Android compatibilty are more of a novelty than 3D is. 3G is pointless and Android is just a terrible OS for the device. It's basically making it a phone, without any phone capabilities. Then you've got the ludicrous multitude of gimmick controls the NGP offers. Three touch-interfaces? Motion controls? AND REGULAR BUTTONS?

The NGP and 3DS are both crammed to bursting point with pointless features.

The NGP also has the stupidest name at the moment. It's the PSP2, I don't care what Sony are saying.

What's the third one? I know the touch screen and back touch panel.

So 3D adds more to gaming than touch controls?

There'll always be a choice of how you watch them though.

Isn't there a way the developer can "force" the system to go into 3D mode, independant of the position of the slider? I'm sure I heard that the 3D movies can do that.
