Megagames - Ridge Racer & Gundam for Cellphones : DigInfo

http://movie.diginfo.tv DigInfo

The latest series from DoCoMo will not only have support for electronic payments for the subway or purchases, digital television and music download services, but also games with graphics to rival that of current portable game systems. DoCoMo displayed two of the next crop of mega games, the first being ridge racer mobile by namco bandai. A Docomo representative stated that using the phones high-speed processor, it can render almost the same number of polygons as a PSP. "Mobile Suit Gundam U.C.0079" was also on display . Both titles are displayed in WQVGA resolution and controlled using the mobile phones keypad. These Megagames are scheduled for release this winter, close to the release of the new 905i series of DoCoMo phones, and the price and delivery method is yet to be announced.

they are lying. a mobile phone cannot achieve the raw power of a psp. currently the most powerful pda's can only pull of 1-2

millons of polygons which translates to 100-200.000 polygons in-game,while a psp can give about 35.000.000 polygons with many other effects and trilinear filtering aswell.

a cpu of a pda can give about 500 megaflops while psp has 2.6 gigaflops. ridge racer mobile is COMPLETELY different in comparison with the psp version.

I would much rather have a psp if I wanted to play games.

@ps3ownz27 lol.. this thread will be obsolete soon.. as u see phone technology becoming better the psp remains the same.

ANyone know how to get these games on a docomo phone? :s

How can they be lying if they are showing examples? Honestly if you think about it, no other cell phones can come up with gaming graphics like that.

I'll still take tetris on my phone any day... it's simple and I don't have to pay much attention lol.

That demo was the Docomo P905i. And P905i only has a native screen res of 848x480 using Panasonic's VIERA Hi-def LCD @ 2000:1 contrast ratio. The newer P906i will have 4000:1 VIERA LCD. 320x240 is the older Japanese phones. All the newer phones have resolutions higher than VGA. But I still think playing games on a phone won't be comfortable either way.

F*ck you this is clearly fake!!!

[vastenmielinen]

have to say ,that ngage looks like childplay compared to this !

[lilnicson03]

its kinda non-comfortable to play the game on thet phone the screen is on the side and the controls are on the other side thats kinda suck for that phone so we should go for the psp an you canot compare a psp with a phone the psp wins at this with ist big screen and comfortable controls not like the docomo phone it has limitted screen and lame controls
