Does this look good or bad? I'm not sure what I'm supposed to think.

 

[neptunes]

It looks HIDEOS!

 

[6.8]

:/

 

[Memles]

Seems to me that rather than try to build something comparable to the PC/Console versions, they decided to amp up the detail on the GBA Game.

Didn't expect anything more from EA.

 

[TekunoRobby]

HAAHAHAHA What is that thing flashing the peace sign!?

Oh my, bad shots to release to the public is what I'm thinking.

 

[Jacobi]

Cool, I was right about that ^^

("gba engine")

 

[Greekboy]

I agree. Hideous imagery above.

 

[MrCheez]

Ew...

Seems to be the art direction more than anything else... =/

 

[Chittagong]

Looks like Sims Bustin Out with a wacky font and a turntable. Rad.

A coming out of the closet party?

Fugly. Regardless of how the PSP sells vs the DS, I think it's clear that the PSP will be worlds ahead graphically. So all of you Graphics whores (which I'm not because I'm a PS2 fan and we're not allowed to be graphics whores), know where you need to be.

I don't think this game is good to use as an example of the DS's graphical capabilities.

 

[neptunes]

EA should know better than that!

 

[Kobun Heat]

Should we assume that the flood of DS info is coming soon?

Anyway, this story is further illustration that we don't have a damned clue what the launch lineup for the DS will be.

What exactly does the above have to do with those horrible looking pics?

 

[Kobun Heat]

The fact that they've been released.

 

[Shompola]

LOL the guy fell down. AOUCH.

 

[neptunes]

He's break-dancing!

 

[Greekboy]

Well we all know that the DS is capable of a lot more than those weak grabs. Too many rails of coke snorted by the EA staff before the release of those pics.

 

[SantaC]

well even if the graphics are bad it's still leaps ahead of the GBA.

 

[Phoenix]

Take a PC game (assuming you've seen the demo anyways) that completely sucked ass and bring that level of suckitude to the DS - but launch it early when there isn't much content, guaranteeing that people will at least look at the box.

Genius!

 

[Greekboy]

well even if the graphics are bad it's still leaps ahead of the GBA:

That's not saying much though.

 

[StrikerObi]

So you can scratch phat beats on the turntable touchscreen style? That's pretty neat I guess. I'd rather see a full blown music game based on turntable scratching on the DS though. THAT would be cool.

 

[SantaC]

That's not saying much though.

Yeah it's not saying much but since this isn't GBA2. I am satiesfied with NDS capabilites. Now If NDS would been the succesor to GBA it would dissapoint me.

I second that notion.

I don't think you probably would have. Look how many Nintendo fans were pleased as punch with the underpowered GBA after the GB.

 

[TekunoRobby]

I third it.

Comeone a touchscreen, you can do tons of unique stuff with the music game genre. Hell you can even do a Kareoke styled game with the unit too.

 

[Shompola]

Btw isn't there a similiar game being made for PC right now? Same game?

 

[Justin Bailey]

well even if the graphics are bad it's still leaps ahead of the GBA:

Not really, looks like they just upped the resolution a bit:

 

[TekunoRobby]

Sims 2 is for the PC and The Urbz is for the consoles.

Funny stuff. The entire premise of the PS2 was built on the premise of revolutionary graphics and to avoid the DC because it was crap compared to the nirvana coming. This attitude only changed out of necessity when PS2 was released and the objective were able to see all of Sony's claims were bold lies.

As for those screens, they're way more clean and detailed than 3D games are gonna be on either system.

Yes. It had nothing to do with the fact that the PS2 was released over a year before the GCN and Xbox ever saw the light of day.

 

[Travado]

Sega 32-X can do better graphics!

 

[DrLazy]

I fail to see how the graphics are bad. Those character models look just like the N64. Isn't the DS about equal to N64 graphic wise?

 

[Spiritreaver]

I don't get the big deal. By the way some of you are complaining, Chu Chu Rocket must have been a HORRIBLE game.

 

[Insertia]

sure this isn't the cell-phone ver?

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

The Gamespot preview doesn't go into great detail about the use of the two screens, but too bad that it sounds like the touch screen is going to be used for a fancy menu. Seems to me a game like Sims/Urbz would be best suited by putting the main play on the touch screen where the stylus could be used in mouse-like ways, while the second screen could display the stats/needs of the current character you're following, the descriptions of items in the catalog, things like that.

 

[fennec fox]

Whoa, a jackalope!

::adds to "buy" list::

 

[pilonv1]

Yeah it resembles the Ngage version of Busting Out.

 

[Grubdog]

I don't see anything wrong with those pics, it could be a great game.

 

[StrikerObi]

sure this isn't the cell-phone ver?

Funny, I could have sworn the dual-screen screenshots sorta gave it away as a DS game. There are even options on the lower screens (Ok, back, change) that are obviously there to be hit with the stylus.
