The human brain only operates at about 10Hz, plus or minus 5. Over 20fps is plenty to make sure that there will never be the same frame for more than one cycle in a row. You are biologically incapably of noticing the difference between 30fps and 60fps. I expect any difference you think you see...
Of course, now that I think about it... are even the current PSPs and DSs "dedicated handhelds"? The PSP is and always has been marketed as an all in one portable media device. The most recent DS has a variety of built in aps as well as a camera. And, one of the biggest thing Nintendo's been...
Life time to date, the DS has just shy of twice as many units as the iPhone (145 million to 73.5 million). Despite the hype, Apple's products simply aren't selling nearly as well as Nintendo's, and they never have. There may come a time when Sony and Nintendo have something to worry about from...
Yes, thank you. There was like maybe half a dozen cross-console games designed specifically for the GCN over it's entire life span... mostly because they were originally supposed to be exclusive then got ported. And, yes, Viewtiful Joe was one such game. However, as a rule GCN games were pretty...
Seriously, owning a GameCube, this was the case with like every friggen game that came out (also usually the case with Wii, but at least I get my $10+ discount). Just accept that developers usually put their focus on 360 version because that's what sells better and read product reviews before...
I mean, yea sure... PCs work perfectly fine for gaming, on the gamer end at least. I couldn't imagine playing SC2 on anything but a PC. That's not the issue. The issue is that they're just not dedicated gaming platforms which brings a lot of drawbacks. Certainly not the least of which is that...
PCs really aren't designed FOR games, though. They just happen to be able to play them, and not particularity efficiently at that (considering all the background software that's always running). It's like saying Sony and Nintendo should drop their handhelds in favor of supporting smart phones.
I can easily see that happening seeing that's how just about every other market on the planet works. There was like, what? A dozen or so companies behind Bluray? How about MP3? How many corporations did it take to get that off the ground?
Every other sort of technology out there usually has...
It's probably like how in the US you have to pay taxes on money earned from criminal transactions... it's not because they want to arrest you for that, it's because the want to arrest you for something else they can't prove yet.
If you're swearing in front of as police officer (which, I...
A guy who's never made a JRPG and lives in Japan is trying to comment on JRPG sales in western countries... that's just great.
It'd be like if Gabe Newel commented on the sales of dating sim games in Japan.
God, I wish they did. I do most of my web-browsing on my phone which is fine for things like Facebook and Youtube... but, Escapist keeps taking my favorite shows away from Youtube (Zero Punctuation, Moviebob, Loading Ready Run...). If I could watch the shows just fine on my phone before, I...
