Which of E3’s handheld revelations is the most exciting?

Postby Fraser » Wed Jul 16, 2008 9:49 am

It's been an unexpectedly fantastic E3 for handheld gamers, with plenty to get excited about.

There's GTA Chinatown Wars on the DS, Resistance Retribution on the PSP not to mention all of the goodness that Square Enix has lined up for both platforms. Then there's the iPhone's showing with titles like Spore Origins.

And what about that Duke Nukem trilogy?

Plenty to mull over and chew to bits methinks....

DS

Chrono Trigger on DS wins the war for that device, for me! Although I can only assume, as Square Enix don't try very hard to pursuade us otherwise, they just don't like us enough to release it over here...

Well to be honest Im more of a western gamer , and JRPGs dont fit my bill perfectly ( not that I dont play them once in a while and Star Ocean 1/2 shore add to the PSPs upcoming game library quality ) .

Resistance Retribution seems to be one of the best looking portable games to date , and after marvels like Chains of Olympus and Crisis Core there are few games that could impress me .

Resistance Retribution did , and it also quickly pushed Dissidia and Birth By Sleep from my #1 and #2 most wanted position and it gently settled on the throne .

This , combined with LocoRoco 2 , Patapon 2 and Super Stardust Portable and quality multiplatform titles like Duke Nukem Trilogy , Midnight Club LA : Remix , Star Wars the Force Unleashed made the PSPs future look brighter , so yeah , for me the PSP won this years E3 .

I have to say that E3 was all about the PSP for me too this year. Resistance Retribution is a very predictable path for Sony to take, but it's a tried and tested one and I fully expect it to be a great game. Given how gorgeous it looks, it's bound to stir up some real excitement when it releases.

Still lamenting the absence of a wireless PSP store but then, at least the PSP has that sort of functionality. I know I'll probably be slain for saying it, but Chrono Trigger doesn't really interest me at all.

Puzzle Quest: Galactrix was the title that caught my attention on handheld, having only recently come out of a fearsome addiction to the previous game on DS.

The space-based theme could be interesting, and the fact that new pieces fall onto the board from all sides when you make matches could be a more significant gameplay tweak than it sounds.

Wish it was coming out sooner than 2009 though...

I'd definitely go with Stu's PQ: Galactrix but also can't deny Resistance: Retribution certainly has my interest - possibly because Chains of Olympus convinced me that PSP can do action beautifully.

Other than that duo, I'm oddly intrigued by Rhythm Heaven. No, really. Probably something to do with going back to Elite Beat Agents recently. And the fact it's got robots in it. Kind of.

Five comments in and nobody has mentioned GTA DS yet! Has the entire world gone stark staring raving mad?

Though it hasn't been shown in any way yet, I have my money on Rockstar turning out something that fits the DS like a glove. It's just brilliant that the company is making a game that is tailored to the system, instead of a quick port of some of the original isometric games, I for one can't wait.

I have to agree, Rhythm Heaven has caught my interest to, but similarly, I can't really say why. It certainly looks quirky and everyone knows the DS loves quirky like roast beef loves gravy.

I'm hungry...

I'd be more interested in GTA DS if it lets you hit'n'run Pokemon...

I just can't get as excited as you by a logo alone, despite the potential of the game...
