my point is that ghost of sparta looks like shit actually without dragging out 3DS games since we had some of this talk in a previous thread where I said the jump is about the same but means shit on a smaller screen with lower res when Capcom 3DS games look clearly miles ahead. but it's actually harder to tell on a smaller screen from 2 to 3 in the hands of an average user other than higher res textures and different lighting in which the textures won't get that kind of treatment on a handheld to start with. Oh and that 3D without glasses part does make a difference now that I have a 3DS, there is noway in hell I'm turning that off since it's just really nice without having to use glasses like I do with my TV as the whole glasses thing does become a bother at times, I personally think Nintendo made the right move with the 3DS, just need to wait for the games to come rolling down.

I mean if you really wanna be graphics whore about it, go PC, there is no place better to stretch your e-peen since mine is pretty decent size in my sig.

 

to your edit: I don't know your monitor size

I don't really like PC gaming, except playing old school games.  I'd rather pay a few hundred bucks once and have it last me for 7 or 8 years, instead of upgrading every 2 or 3 years to keep up with the tech.  Plus, with a console its 100% that the game will run on what you have, instead of one or 2 things about your PC not matching up so you can't play.  And something about a console ditting next to your HD TV just seems right.  I guess most would agree with this, as that's why the console business keeps expanding.

And yes, 3DS games definitely look better, but like I said, it's more like Nintendo has been able to come a little closer to the PS2/Gamcube rather than it being a whole console gen leap ahead of the PSP.  Take Mercenaries, for example.  Yes it looks good, but it still doesn't match RE 4 for the Gamecube.

Oh and my moniter/laptop screen is 16.5".  Hmm, 16.5".  That's the same size as my e-peen. 


I pretty much just have everything sitting next to the TV with other monitors as well and a playseat with a G27 lol (Do a good amount of 3D gaming.) I also live stream in HD a lot so a nice computer is a basic requirement on top of doing multimedia or processor intensive tasks. A powerful PC goes a long way if you do things other than gameing, but enough with that.

They can prolly make 3DS games look better at the cost of battery life, so I'd rather they just do good shader work and properly utilize the screen size. As far as power consumption with graphics go, the gap inbetween the NGP and 3DS is much closer than the gap from PSP to 3DS when you also count in the 3D display, now, if we are talking about a 2D machine, that would have been a different story, and I'm pretty sure that I'm not far off after having toyed with the 3DS now. Sony has failed to deliver their bullshit promises for like 2-3 times with their hardwares now so I'm not expecting anything different with the NGP, unless they can surprise me =D.
