| dharh said: It's mainly because I know the limitations of the DS. It's quite a interesting bit of engineering, but it was given strict limits on its capabilities (one wonders why though). The polygon count of the DS is not really impressive, also it has to deal with two screens, though you could limit the use of one of the screens and thus focus most of the processing power to only one of the screens. The polygon capabilities of the PS1 are more powerful than DS, and the PSP is more powerful than the PS1. With the DSi on the other hand this is not necessarily the case. I dunno if the DSi is fundamentally more powerful than the PSP, given the limited info on it still, but it probably is. Fact remains though that we are talking about the DS and not really the DSi. Really though my original argument, again, was specifically about the purity of the original games, FMVs and all. Which again, again, would have to removed/changed/etc to work on the DS. |
I see. I'll admit I have only a weak grasp on the technical side of things, so I'll defer to your statement. That said, if you're worried about FMVs, why would they need to be removed or modified in any way? Final Fantasy IV on the DS had lots of FMV, and the quality of its FMV was miles ahead of that of Final Fantasy VII or VIII.
