Give The NGage And Phantom A Chance?

Posted by simoniker on Tuesday September 2, 2003 @06:11AM from the be-charitable-this-xmas dept.

Thanks to GameSpy for their 'Sole Food editorial urging gamers to take another look at the NGage and Phantom games hardware. Regarding Nokia's NGage game/phone hybrid, the piece suggests: "Gamers should be excited by what Nokia is bringing to the table. Mobile multiplayer gaming via Bluetooth and GSM/GPRS is a wonderful idea and definitely the future of portable gaming." As for Infinium Labs' Phantom console, the author is cautious but optimistic: "I'm not advocating the Phantom, but I'm very much fascinated by what Infinium purports it will introduce to console gaming: digital distribution. This is definitely the way gamers will buy games in the future." Reason enough to think again?

Re:Has anyone played the N-Gage. It's Terrible. by Mike+Hawk · 2003-09-02 06:48 · Score: -1, Flamebait

I also played it. My impression could not have been farther from yours.

It was pushing smooth frame rates of Playstation quality graphics. Maybe you weren't playing an N-Gage? What game were you playing? I saw Tomb Raider and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater running flawlessly. Maybe you were looking at some screenshots and mistook them for video?
