Damn, now if they can smooth out the frame rate, I'd be even more impressed.

I didn't even think that kind of stuff was possible on the DS.

I don't think I could bring myself to play a FPS on a handheld. Regardless, that looks decent all things considered.

FPSes on the Nintendo DS is a lot more natural than the PSP. While it was uncomfortable at first due to some hand cramping playing Metroid on the DS, it's multiplayer is amazingly fluid and aiming is a breeze.

I think we have gotten used to only seeing a certain level of graphics on a "new" machine (espically me!) but as we have seen in the PS2's later years the true potential of a gaming device only comes after a decade...

To be honest has even the PS2's maximum capability even competely pushed? Mabye.... but I sure wish I could see a timeline of games and gameplay from games at release to games now all side by side...

God of War 2 makes a lot of shit on 360 and PS3 look like crap, so even if it's not pushing max capacity, that's still good enough for me.

The new DS browser just came out today and it comes with a second cartridge for the GBA slot to provide ram for the surfing. With the possiblity of cartridges with more ram, there is room for expandability in the power of the DS. Let alone fully utilizing what it is already capable of.

Well that's cool. Wonder if the ram pack will effect existing games?

Soygen · 06-06-2007, 06:25 AM

Does nothing for existing games.

Don't get me wrong, I loved GoW2, I played it nonstop until everything was unlocked. But it still looked like shit on a big TV. It looked as good as it could, but a far cry from even the worst visuals of a 360 or PS3 game.

Playing GoW2 only made me yearn for a next gen God of War game and imagining what kind of visuals they could pump out.

Okay... maybe it was 10x better looking than that Gundam game!

Look awesome. God I've become a total DS fanboy, heh.

Stave · 06-06-2007, 03:15 PM

Its pretty good for DS, but I was more impressed when they made the same game for my LG 8100 cell phone. It was damn near the same graphics, but on a cell phone. The framerate and aiming will probably be better on the DS, but it is a fun game.

Here's some screenies of the cell phone version

Samflam · 06-08-2007, 08:33 AM

Played this for an hour or so last night. It's pretty sweet. I really like how you are able to aim while you are sliding along a wall, you can jump out and get some wicked headshots.
It's a little sluggish though, you can tell that the graphics really push the DS' hardware.
My girl was laughing at the faux German the Nazis shout at you though;P

Zarcath · 06-08-2007, 09:15 AM

Metroid Hunters cramped my hand so bad I haven't played it again since the first time.

Looks alright, there any sort of multiplayer?

Lenas · 06-08-2007, 09:18 AM

Local multiplayer. Probably co-op.
