The graphics obviously are going to be quite nice.. for a handheld.
Going by the specs, it can rival GC in a area or two, but I wouldn't expect GC quality visuals. Most likely the average game will have first gen DC game type visuals or a higher than bleemcast quality visuals. But the games will look MUCH better than psone quality as the system totally runs over psone in every area.
Some screenshots, and I'll try to get them as close to PSP resolution as I can.
Maybe a metal gear solid game that looks somewhat better than this
Maybe something like this could be done.
Now the Design... Sony products usually look really high-tech and snazzy. Just look at their Sony CLIE's. They look really great.
I don't expect PSP to look like a piece of crap, I really imagine the thing to be sleek as hell and maybe of a silver color. Obviously PSP has alot going on for it, the UMD, huge 4.5 inch screen, and a analog stick and all the playstation buttons. Even with all this I still don't see PSP to be a huge bulky affair, and I also see it having a clam-shell design not unlike a Sony CLIE.
This is also what I see psp sorta looking like closed.
Here's another, shows how a PSP could sorta look like. Although not these exact dimentions.
What do you guys think about what type of color schemes and or symbol PSP will use?
I'm thinking maybe MAYBE a black color, although I'm more in toon of the thing being a silvery. The symbol? I don't see why they couldn't use the PS2 symbol and switch the 2 with a P. They seem to like this symbol as much as to keep it with PSX.. so we will see.[/img]
