The game is also being developed for the PSP. Though IMO it really doesn't have the control system for this kind of game.
What's wrong with HTML on this forum. I've unticked "disable HTML" and the above link shows up correctly in the preview function. But it doesn't work when posted...

How is it SWEET LOOKING, considering what you've said about other games?
How can you tell how great it looks from tiny screenshots? (http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=512099#512099)
Guess it makes sense... ?

Sorry what? (http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=512099#512099)

Is it blurry?
london-boy, that's just as bad as when PC-Engine brought DS sales into the PSP sales thread. In fact its probably even worse since at least he was making a direct comparison. Please don't ruin the thread with totally pointless posts.

If i rephrase it:
"how is it SWEET LOOKING, considering what you've said about other games?"
Would it sound better?
Or maybe "How can you tell how great it looks from tiny screenshots? :lol:"

It's sweet looking compared to other games on DS. :wink:
Then again I've seen SEGA's Sonic game that uses motion blur too.
Anyway B&W should be awesome for those who like god games. The stylus would be perfect for this style of game.
That would have been much better yes :)

Personally, even on DS i've seen much better, but maybe that's just me.
I've seen better graphics on DS as well. But personally I'm basing my excitement about the game on more then graphics alone.

For some reason i could never get B&W to work on my new PC so i have never played it. Was really looking forward to it.
Guess this is a game that will be cool to control with the touchscreen
How's it going to cope with so little processing power...?
At any rate, I agree with the others - this is a a perfect game for DS, control wise.
The graphics aren't bad for DS either :)

Did you play the PC version? There is a perfect JeffK cartoon that describes it.
Personaly i would expect sub par graphics for this game on both the psp and ds as the ai is very advanced. Esp if they fixed it from the pc version

What was so advanced about it? Honest question as I don't remember the PC version being too advanced at all. I remember the promises made but was pretty disappointed in how it all turned out. Man, I was so looking forward to it as well - even had a nice screenshot as my background.
I think Creature Island may have addressed some of the issues though but I didn't bother.
it may have been in creature island . But the a.i was very advanced the creatures actually learned and i could leave the pc and they would actualy do things i would have had them do while i was gone . I def think it would tax the cpus of both systems more so than the average ds or psp game
wasnt this also released on playstation many years ago?
maybe its the ps version ported to handheld
No I'm pretty sure there wasn't a Playstation version. There was supposed to be a Dreamcast version but that got cancelled.

Yeah that's quite strange, it's not even on IGN... I don't think it was ever released, though i remember them working on a PS1 version after PS2 was released.
IGN says the PS version (PC port) got cancelled. There were also GCN, DC, and GBC versions planned, all cancelled.
yup that must be it
and btw, wasnt this game an overhyped bug ridden pc game ?

Heh, you'd think after half a decade, they'd have sorted that out... right...? So there's hope...
The original PC game was buggy but I think the expansion pack was stable(?). Anyway its Majesco who are making the DS version so it should be fine.

Where are the pics for the PSP to compare.
The article didn't have any PSP pics, I don't think any have been released yet.
It's good to see a title like this on the DS.
An added bonus is that the hype of the original game isn't there, so less disappointment if it's flawed!
Hmm, could the DS port of Black and White be based on the rumored PSX port that never came out? I'd hope so, because I honestly think the DS can do better than what's shown here.
And perhaps the PSP port based on the rumored Dreamcast port that never came out.....
