[h2]Hirai: No NGP pricing, battery life details as console still in prototype phase[/h2]
January 31st, 2011 @ 14:30
By Johnny Cullen

SCEI boss Kaz Hirai has said that announcements on pricing andbattery life for NGP – PSP’s next-gen successor in everything bar name– will not be made yet due to the device still being in a prototypephase.

He told Impress Watch, however, that the company’s currently aiming at targets which should please consumers either way.

No pricing details were confirmed for the handheld at its unveil last week in Tokyo, although a report claimed that battery life would be somewhere in the region of 4-5 hours.

Hirai said over the weekend that Sony was in talks about bringing digital versions of games previously released on PSP over to NGP.

NGP will release this year in Japan.

Jaffe’s Tweet On The NGP is Rated X

David Jaffe, the father of both Twisted Metal and God of War, is well known for hilarious quotes regarding the gaming industry. Many have been waiting to see what he has to say on the recently announced Next Gen Portable, also known as the NGP.


Shortly after the NGP was announced Jaffe had this to say on his Twitter:

New hardware is like new %%**%. It’s exciting at first but after you’ve experienced enough fresh vagina over the years- while there’s still always a bit of excitement when something new comes along- you learn that sooner than later, the new and exciting becomes the standard and dependable and so it’s best to just stay focused and greatful on what you’ve got at the moment and if you need to make a change, it’ll just happen organically.

He then stated this about his original tweet:

It was not anti NGP at all. I’m just saying we are grateful Sony is letting us make games for the PS3 and if NGP is in our future, that will rock but it’s not something I’m thinking about cause I’m so focused, happy, and greatful 4 the hardware we’re currently using.

3D was Considered for the NGP

Announced on Thursday, the NGP comes packed some pretty impressive specs, but the device is missing one thing – the addition of any kind of 3D functionality. With the 3DS on the horizon, some gamers may be wondering why this feature was missing, especially given Sony’s support for 3D with TVs, cameras, movies and the PS3. Looking to clear this up, Sony explained why the decision was made to not include 3D.

In a recent interview with PC World, SCEI head, Kaz Hirai, had this to say about 3D for the NGP:

We looked at the possibility of doing 3D on the NGP.

He then went on to add that they ultimately decided against 3D, after they had some discussions with software makers. He also had one final word on 3D.

We decided to forgo 3D, at least for the time being.

So it does look like Sony is still exploring the possibility of 3D coming to future handhelds, perhaps the PSP3.

Portal 2 Updated More Frequently on PS3

Valve announced at E3 that the PlayStation 3 version of Portal 2 would be the superior version of the game, but it’s only recently that we’ve begun to find out exactly why. Not only will there be cross platform play, custom level creation, and a free steam copy included with every purchase of the PS3 version, but it will also be updated more often than the 360 version.

Thank goodness. That would of been a waste of time.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII Shrugs Off 2011

Since its announcement, Final Fantasy Versus XIII has hidden in the shadows with vague details and short trailers. While Square Enix did finally reveal a proper gameplay trailer, and are starting to provide more information on the game, don’t get your hopes up for a 2011 release.

Speaking to Japanese magazine Dengeki, director Tetsuya Nomura commented on a release window by saying it might be best to forget about Versus in 2011 with Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy Type-0, and Final Fantasy XIII-2 all due this year. He added that his team is trying to do big new incredible things, and it’ll take time to make the ideas a reality.

It looks like the next big update will be E3. Back to waiting…

Well, nothing else to live for...

Isn't it great to see a developer put in serious work, take pride in their product and actually show excitement.
