Gpx2 Name Suggestion: Gp2

[no_skill]

i posted it on gpx2, but i guess it'll dissapear under the tons of other entries.


-------------------

I choose GP2 as name for the new console for a simple reason.

The prefix GP, at least in my eyes, over time developed a huge symbolic meaning for free, open, powerfull, independant handheld.

The 32 (GP32), was just an accessory to make it sound better. GP2 has a nice ring to it, and if you're really into it you could promote it as GPtwo.

But for now just say it loud three, four times: GP 2 - GP two - Gee Pee two. Now that sounds awesome, doesn't it?

If you choose a name without the GP in front, i guess you'll scare of some of the people that got used to the ring GP [something].
GP means a lot to me, it's my handheld philosophy!

I think this is the ideal name:
- it sounds good (spoken)
- shows that this is a new generation (2)
- shows that this still embraces homebrew development
- as well as high quality commercial games
- sounds familiar to the gp32 community / fanbase
- continues the spirit of the established name gp32


Regarding the Logo: i think the GPx2 logo is very sleek, thus i think the perfekt solution would be to just cut out the X.

Regarding mistaking it with GPH: Even if some people confuse GPH and GP2, GP2 sounds like the next generation of the GPH, thus people will buy the GP2

And again: if three letters are too few let's call it GP two (sorry for the rhime).

You mean you don't think it should be called "The Scythe"?

 

[Horscht]

btw: GPH is the company manufacturing the GPX2. The other console is called XGP and manufactured by Gamepark

I think your reasoning was e and f... you don't have to lie to us

I submitted Zeitgeist because it means spirit of time and hopefully this system will allow us to relive all our past favorites while still allowing us to play new and exciting games

 

[Shaddac]

So what do you think about my idea? ^^
Just out of curiosity =P

"GPDuvo because Duvo is the ancient Greek word for Two. Ancient Greek because it's the language of the finest cultural and democratical Empire of its time. The GPDuvo is in a way a democratical console because you really listen to us, the consumers (The RAM-issue) =)
Duvo can also mean Digital Universal Versatile OpenSource
This baby really is versatile =)

Cheers.

Just saw this in the entries:

 Gamepark Ninja

Because thats what some in the community wanted to call an offshoot when we thought gpx2 wasnt coming.

the logo should be the words gamepark with a little ninja image on the right.

the word ninja and the gamepark logo will be on the back.

Someone`s stealing names!

*Smartass mode on*
A PlayStation-Game was called "Zeitgeist".
*Smartass mode off"

 

[Jarska333]

Not "Ehrgeiz"?

 

[rabbits with hats]

Well I keep saying it and it sounds like

JE-PIT-OO
:blink:

 

[Delsabre]

Just take names from existing game systems for inspiration, like the Game Boy or Play Station.

"Play Boy"

I'd buy that.

 

[mr.white]

Not "Ehrgeiz"?

​

"Zeitgeist" was shurly a PlayStation game as well as "Einhander".
Japanese game developers love to name some games with some fancy german words - even if they don't the meaning sometimes. Another example is "Herzog Zwei" for the Mega Drive.
