Until very recently, only a handful of people outside of PlayStation had ever laid their hands on an NGP unit. With E3 2011 just around the corner, expectations for Nintendo announcements are mighty high, but you can get a glimpse at the heat Sony’s packing before another day goes by. The official PlayStation.Blog spat out some footage of the quad-core NGP in action.
It’s not just playing last-gen games rather, there’s yet another glimpse at Uncharted, a brand new platformer called Sound Shapes where you build levels with a music sequencer (and which procedurally generates tunes as you play) and a taste of the cross-platform PS3 vs.
NGP wireless racing you can expect in Wipeout HD. There’s definitely a lot of dual-analog action here, but demonstrators are also taking advantage of that five-inch touchscreen, and Wipeout will apparently use the front-facing camera to beam taunt-filled pictures and video of the victor to the losers in each race.
You’ll note that Sony’s focusing on software over hardware here, and that’s not by accident — the company’s careful to state that we’re looking at early dev units. “They’re the right size, but they don’t possess that final PlayStation-quality fit and finish,” says the official blog, “What you’ll eventually be able to pick up in a store will look a heck of a lot better.” Checkout the videos bellow
