Oooh, potential rival for the PS3? (remember that the PS3 still got full HD and 3D capacities!)
But I think that the DS will need a big couterattack with this one!

Taking into account the size of the screen with the resolution, it should basically look like full HD in your hands But yep no 3D, but the more i read about that on the 3DS the less I was impressed. Engadget didn't sell it to me well lol! Though MGS on the 3DS makes it very tempting...

Anyways, the NGP looks insane. I want one. Now.

Also a bit of important information about the 3G, it's an option which is important
From the EU Blog in a reply:

Hi Shou_Kobayashi, you are correct.
You will be able to use NGP using only Wi-Fi.

I guess it was, true.
The psp2 is at the same level of ps3, a little bit lower,though.

And what if it costs 500? better wait for them to confirm the price, this looks EXPENSIVE

So at the end of the conference, Hideo Kojima comes out and displays a MGS4 cutscene ported straight over from PS3 running at 20 fps, very impressive! (Games usually run at 30). Which makes me think, what if they can make lbp2 work on the PSP2? We may be able to port our levels back and forth between PS3 and PSP2, or at least play PS3 levels on PSP2. Just a thought 2011-01-27 18:11:00

Dang, you beat me to it

@ryryryan No, the device still won't be able to handle what even the PS3 sometimes struggles with!! But an LBP PSP 2 would still be cool

As long as there's sackbots xD

Elder Scrolls Portable?

There was a rumor of one coming on the original PSP, it seems a lot more likely. And awesome. Let's hope it'll come out. And LBP PSP 2...

Why would anybody else care other than PSP'rs nobody except LBP PSP'rs care about it... just look at the response from the first game... Still looks pretty cool though.

Some gameplay of LBP PSP 2, although unlikely and looks as though it'd from LBP 2, along with some other games from the announcement...

Looks slick!
It's a shame that the chances of it costing more than the ps3 is high. After all, the 3ds costs more than the Wii!

I can't for some more details on this LBP NGP, though. IMHO, LBP PSP was a disappointment compared to LBP1, so I'd like to see if this new game is up to par with LBP2.


...why didn't they put the corner editing features from the PSP game Into LBP2, anways?

The LBP2 scene is fake, notice the R1 button at the bottom of the screen. It's shaped like the PS3 controller's R1 button, and though the "R1" text alone would disprove it, it wasn't clear enough to determine. Besides, we've all seen that trailer footage before.

Edit: And by the way, the display resolution of the system is not 4 times that of the PSP. Saying that would equate to 1920x1088, and hardware to drive those 21 million pixels in a portable design simply doesn't exist. The actual resolution is 960x544, twice as much as the PSP. And at a 5 inch screen vs. the PSP 3000's 4.3 inch display, the picture quality will nearly double.

Actually, it is 4 times the resolution. Theres twice as many pixels in width AND height.

PSP has resolution of 480 x 272, which equals 130560 pixels.
NGP has resolution of 960x544, which equates to 522240 pixels.

130560x4=522240

Not trying to be insulting if it comes off that way (sorry if so), just trying to make a more general understanding So really, the quality is 4 times that of the PSP, which just sounds awesome. (Not taking into account the screen size difference, as at that resolution the difference in size is near negligible)
