New Xgp Pictures


it kinda reminds me of a gamegear!

I really do like the look of it mind, i just hope its as slim as it seems.

Is it me, or does the unit LOOK heavy? the heavier the better ;) i just hope its as good as it looks really. If its battling the psp, what are its weapons to do so?
 
Who cares about the hardware, what about the games?
I have seen 0 games or even any real details on who is going to write games for this thing.
 
Am I the only one worried about the position of the power button? It looks like I'd accidentally hit it when playing.

Don't worry man, it's probably one of those power buttons where you have to hold it for a few secs to power off, prolly?
Now accidentally pressing the LCD button (brightness level button) is another story? :(

Well, it's not ugly, I'll give it that much at least.

But are those speakers I spy on the side of the unit? If they expect us to use the shoulder buttons much, that's an exceedingly dumb place to put some speakers...
Even worse, the power and LCD on/off buttons are on the side, AND they look like the kind you press down. DESIGN FLAW ALERT!

um, do any of you even have a gp2x? the power button is in the same place, and it requires some force to actually turn it on and off, who's to say the same wont apply for the XGP?
 
No they won't. This *is* Gamepark we're talking about. They're much more likely to notice the design successes, think of them as flaws for some reason, and add about 10 more.

I don't understand why everyone likes D-pads, though. The NGPC and the GP32 both played wonderfully with their joysticks, whilst on a GBC I only ever found myself able to last an hour at a time without feeling like I was about to get carpal tunnel syndrome... and it was all to do with the D-pad, imo.
 
I don't like those shoulder buttons, but they prolly look worse than they are. And that power button(notice, not a "slider" like on GP2X) placement is scary...







and wtf@ :huh:

":huh:"(without quotes :rolleyes: )= :huh: ?
 
D-pads on a small handheld will make it even more portable since there's nothing sticking out.

XGP hardware with GP2x's software...would rock
Actually it....would suck

Since most of the GP2X software is emulators playing stretched out to 16:9 with an analog stick is shite.

Ooh, a hold button!
Which means it is always on draining power. Another one of those systems that drains itself so when you go to use it the battery is dead, great ;)

Wow, do I see a joystick that looks half usable? ;)
Useable for what? not emus, the stick is analog. The cap looks decent though.
