Another Sonic Racing game? Never got to play the originals (No Sega Genesis or Dreamcast) but it rather cool. I just got one question... is it going to be anything like Sonic Riders 1 and 2? If so, that'll be another Sonic game I pass up.

Kind of, only instead of skateboards without wheels, it's MARIO SONIC KART!

Wow! I can't wait for this to come out. Essentially, a cross between Burnout, Mario Kart, and Sonic R/Sonic Drift? F'ing awesome. One thing that REALLY grinds my gears is how this'll be out for (surprise surprise!) Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, and DS. No PSP. The PSP is perfect for racing games! With the analog stick and excellent graphics the game would kick more ass on the PSP than Gary Roberts. But, because the d*ckheads at Nintendo insisted that their crappy DS got the game, it won't happen. Why? WHY?!!!!!!! ??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!

*insert rage.jpg*
DS sell sometimes twice as more as the PSP, so it would probably be a better financial decision to sell on the better selling system, not to mention figuring out how to port all that code to an extra system that doesn't have the same hardware specks. You can chalk it up as laziness, but it's probably too much work to do already.

PSP-Better graphics PSP-better wireless PSP-better controls with the analog stick PSP-better games for the most part. PSP-better music PSP-better photo PSP-better music PSP-better console.
If it came out on PSP (and over 9000 other games, but that's for another time) it would be a smash hit. Have anyone here ever played Burnout Legends on the PSP? Yes? No? Well, play that game, and you'll see how f*cking awesome racing games on the PSP really are.
Call Of Duty 4 wasn't on the PSP. NHL 08 wasn't on the PSP. Medal Of Honor: Airborne wasn't on the PSP. NHL 09 wasn't on the PSP. NCAA Football 08 wasn't on the PSP. Medal Of Honor: Vanguard wasn't on the PSP. Wheelman wasn't on the PSP. Left 4 Dead wasn't on the PSP. A 10-year anniversary edition of Sonic Adventure that I suggested to Sega won''t be on the PSP.
I don't want to see it happen again with this game.

Some of the things you pointed out are subjective at best and don't really add much to when everything comes down to opinion anyway. It's the game that counts, not on what system it's on. Do I really have to bring this up again? Anyway, The first time I played a PSP, the game played like ASS, and it was mostly because of that awful control stick. The DS's control pad has hardly ever botched up for me and the touch sensitive bottom screen makes selecting things a breeze. I'd rather use that control pad, thanks. That all comes down to opinion, like I mentioned. But there are like, 5 games that I am interested in getting on the system, and about 2/3rds of them are remakes that can be bout from another system that it was originally on. The reason I bought a DS was because of what it was able to do. It's unique and innovative features really made it stood out and actually helped making new experiences. And did I mention that these new features are for helping games instead of being simple extras? And just this year the DS has a hefty list of games that are coming out soon and I won't be able to get all of them when they first come around. Those don't really make games better, but that's not necessarily the case. How long have games from older systems still stand out to this day that have been around for 20 years or more on an incredibly outdated system like the NES? Megaman 2 is still a great game by many and that thing is ancient. Tetris on the Game Boy in all it's monochrome glory is a game I still pop into everynow and then. I can name many others that have been released on older systems with lower specks that are still fun to play. Just because the PSP has a much more stronger hardware, doesn't make the DS, with less stronger hardware mean that it can't be just as fun, if not more than a PSP game. I mostly buy a video game system for, ya know, games myself. Yeah, maybe if it had anything going for it that it was better than the DS, maybe, just MAYBE it would be better. Unfortunately, that's not the case. But then again, opinion.

Does PSP have Mario? Zelda? Kirby? Pokemon? No.
That's all I have to say. Your statement fails good sir.

I'm not 5 years old, thank you very much. I don't want to play Mario Party 563 or whatever kiddy crap Nintendo is producing.
Secondly, the analog stick makes games a breeze compared to having to focus on 2 SCREENS AT ONCE. I've played a DS, and I own a PSP (hell, I'm posting from it) and the PSP's analog stick is waaaay better at control than scratching your screen is. Analog stick allows for more precise control.
And graphics are very important. If the PS3 had 64-bit graphics, would it be as popular?

Here I thought I'd come in here being some sort of middle ground...but then you had to say the "k word"
Now you went and got me angry...
First off, graphics are only important to the superficial, the people that consider flashing lights and pretty bells more important than mechanics and gameplay and whatnot. As was said before by Penguin, by your logic, any of these games, highly regarded as classics by many, are suddenly "bad" by your logic because they lack high definition blood and advanced breast jiggle physics.
This brings me to the point of my UNBRIDLED RAGE AND FURY. (blaaargh)...
Violence does not in any way, shape, or form, make a videogame better. If a game is bad, chocking it full of blood won't make it suck any less and the lack thereof doesn't suddenly make a good game terrible just because Mario won't swear and shoot hookers.

I'm not saying violence makes a game better. Graphics alone do not make a game better (however many CoD4 fanboys would argue with that) but really, I don't want to "rescue the princess" for the kajillionth time. You say graphics don't make the whole game? I agree. But, if you can get games with gameplay as good/better than the competition, with better graphics and multiplayer, why wouldn't you take the superior option? You assume that all I care about is graphics. And you, sir, are incorrect.

So let me get this straight. We take a game, give it incredible and innovating gameplay with a flawless execution, but if the story involves rescuing a princess, that makes it a bad game?
lulwut?
Seriously though, all I'm seeing from you is one non-essential want after another. (Graphics, music, storyline, everything but gameplay, etc.) I'll give you credit that you don't place full importance on them, but you still place some importance on them. Combine that with the elitist "my opinion is fact" attitude that managed to start this whole mess in the first place and the obvious fact that you haven't given the opposition more than ten minutes of trial time (How long does it take to adjust to the DS exactly? Two...three seconds? I've even adjusted to my niece's DS and they've dropped the thing half a dozen times so the touchscreen's misalligned to the point where I have to play a guessing game sometimes to figure out where I'm pointing that stylus) makes it seem like you're nothing more than a fanboy here to force his views down everyone else's throats.

I simply said that the game should have come out on the PSP instead of the DS, and you overreacted immensly. You like the DS? Fine. I don't mind. But this thread didn't have to turn into a flame-fest. I made a statement, and you took it, twisted it, and assumed that I don't give a damn about gameplay.
Classics are classics. Don't get me wrong here, but really, how many times do you have to rescue the princess? I mean, come on. True, some of the Mario games had original plotlines, but the majority of them revolved around one thing. Three guesses what it was.
Oh, and I played a friends DS multiple times for at least 20-ish minutes each, so it's not like I haven't given it a chance.
I'm not here to force views down anyone's throats. If you like the DS, fine by me. I simply said that the game should have come out on the PSP rather thatn the DS, and you flew away with that.
I love gameplay innovation. If I didn't love gameplay quality, I'd be playing the five millionth first-person-shooter instead of SOCOM: Tactical Strike and Blitzkrieg. (two games which require tactics and thinking)
And yes, while consoles and game systems are for mainly playing games, but why spend 100-some dollars for a strictly-game system and then 150 more dollars for an iPod when you can get all the functions in one package?

The main issue is you didn't tell us about half of that untill now, you never mentioned gameplay in your posts only Music Graphics etc also you started shoving the graphics thing down our throats an we reacted to it, i'll show you a few examples (Also, the PS3 is popular? ) Anyhow, shoving graphics in our faces like that gets us angry and insulting the DS wasn't a very wise choice, if you had simply said "I don't care for the DS so much" We may have understood a bit better, but you went onward and started talking about how the PSP was better because of everything minus gameplay, you didn't use facts and when we asked for facts you went on and on. also, I would pay the 100$ due to the system sticking to games and games alone, with other items such as music and video the companies spend more time with that, that being said the PSP is a awesome system (Just it reaches "Holy Crap Batman" size and it uses higher graphics as a selling point,) but if you got a DS and played some of the acclaimed games (Eg. Kirby Superstar Ultra, Metroid, Sonic Rush, etc,) you may enjoy it more then playing someone elses (My only issue with the DS is that I like my original model one but they want me to get a DSi to download games, that and the games easily go missing, I don't know where a single one of my games is and i've been looking for 'em for a year now!)
