Apple and gaming...
By mthe1337one 4 Comments
anyone else getting fed up with all this BS with apple claiming they can overtake the DS/PSP? don't get me wrong...after having had a chance to play around with my friend's jailbroken Ipod Touch, it seems like it would work as the "next generation" of casual gaming; what with the whole tilt sensor doohickey. it's commendable that there is a considerable user-base of iphone/touch users who actually download games for their multitasking portable, but what percentage of games are actually FUN on the system?
PSP:
- god of war chains of olympus
- crisis core ff7
- dj max fever (along with the original korean imports)
- lumines 1 and 2
- patapon 1 and 2
- daxter
- and now the upcoming assassin's creed, motorstorm, little big planet, rock band portable
all the above being examples of games that will never be pulled off on an iphone/touch unless drastically changed or dumbed-down.
i won't even attempt to list all the good games that are available on DS. suffice it to say, there's a chance some DS games could possibly be pulled off on an iphone/touch...but the fact that the iphone/touch doesn't have a d-pad or face buttons will be it's downfall IF apple ever considers going one on one against 2 portable gaming systems that have made their mark on the whole gaming community.
