PSP Is Go!

[sunami88]

No, these are almost exactly the same as both the concept images, and the actual specs that anyone reliable spoke about - so it would appear that the complaints about how it looks are actually just whining for the sake of it.

To me,

Spoiler: Image: Concept

Looks way better than,

Spoiler: Image: Actual

To put aside my complaints about the analogue nub for a minute, the first image looks elegant, sexy. The second image makes me realise just how uncomfortable the unit really must be. There's simply no "WOW" factor, and it looks crowded.

But yes, I am whining. I was never all too crazy about the early concept images, but like I said, in hindsight I would be more willing to buy the concept than the actual. *Shrugs*, Personal opinion I suppose.

I just find it ugly. And aside from the 16 gig flash, and useless bluetooth, why upgrade? Seems pretty lackluster to me.

The second image you posted isn't the actual PSP Go, it's also a fan mock. Look at the front page of this thread, the real one looks different. Anyway the reason the first looks better is mostly due to good photoshop effects and the lighting on it. It also looks a lot less comfortable because of the sharp edges around the side compared to the rather smooth and curved design of the actual PSP Go.

Spoiler: Actual PSP Go

This is the actual one. Just to clarify.

You're right, I copied the wrong URL. My bad, it's fixed now. I was talking about the REAL Go, not the fan made one.

I still think it looks rather meh, though. Crowded and ugly.

Snap! That thing looks nice. Watching the crappy movies might not be so bad on that screen, it looks a fair bit bigger. plus the setup in general just looks more condusive to gaming.

Now all they need are some really good games to make me care...

Coming Soon:
LittleBig Planet
Grand Turismo mobile
a new Jak and Daxter
Patapon 2

I think I'm gonna be sick *barf*.

In all seriousness though, is anyone reminded of the Sony Mylo just by looking at it?

You mean that PSP with no game funcion and a keyboard? Yes.

Lol I made that statement a page or so ago, it's funny eh?

How the heck are you supposed to play FPS's on it? i mean.. it kind of worked for the psp (arrows for movement+ analog for aiming) but now you can only use 1 at a time comfortably, because they are both on the left.

You haven't played shooters on the PSP I see. Go play Syphon Filter, Resistance, Battlefront or Coded Arms and you'll see playing shooters on the thing is easier than what most whiners and nay sayers want you to believe.

 

[Digikid]

Too bad there's no fucking second analog stick. I love Sony but this is just idiotic.

Agreed. Sony needs to smarten up and NOW.

You still haven't said how the earler PsP's would run the new games if they introduced a second analogue stick. Until then, you're just being idiotic.

You would know I guess.

I think that the dual analog would be 100x better then those damn digital buttons...that for sure.

Isn't Patapon 2 already out?

I honestly don't see why everyone hates this. If they didn't take risks we'd get nowhere, and it makes it more like a current-gen console since a memory card isn't required as storage is built in. If you don't like the PSP at all, get screwed and go over to the DS, you don't belong in Sony threads unless it's hate about them. If you don't like this re-design, read the article again, especially the point where it says that's it's going to be sold ASWELL as the PSP-3000. Leave us alone to gawk at the new PSP model, don't ruin our fun.

 

[berettapunk]

i might actually consider buying a psp now. but it still isnt better than my ds

 

[Chadling]

Heck, it might be the best looking PlayStation device in general, I mean I loved my PS2, but she sure was ugly!

And I'd rather have a second-hand PS2 that looks like a little kid threw up on it than the beautiful train wreck that the PSP is.

My hands do not bend like that. No, Sony, take it back to the engineers and let THEM run the show, not the marketers.

 

[vxicepickxv]

No thanks, my 2000 slim works just fine for the three games I like for your system. Well, hopefully one day three of them, right now just two. Go figure they were released for systems a long time ago.

Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy Tactics are indeed good games.

Why does it look like a train wreck? It looks fine, the DS is held like that with the only difference being that this is curved in the sides which seems to me to give the person a better curve to grip the controller on.

You do realize that the screen slides in and out right? It looks similar to some cell phones, and also like one of those Mylo Sony phones that someone pointed out earlier.

 

[diddykonger]

if thats the next psp model which is ugly as hell, not to mention if this the way they are going they should reimburse customers who owning current psp models for wasting our money on the UMDs. cause I for one am not going to pay, on top of paying for new model, for the games that I own on UMD, or rather any of the media that i have on UMD.

Wow fail more. Old games that only need one don't have to use the second. You couldn't think of that on your own? And what about the PSP 3k? Well dont download the games then.

Read everything I have posted and you will realize that this is not like the PS1, same rules don't apply. Those 50 million PSP's out there would not be able to play newer dual stick games either. Go play a dual analogue game on your PS1 with the original non-analogue controller and there is the basic flaw in the whole point of adding a second stick. IT CANT AND WONT WORK WITH THE PSP, NOT UNTIL AN ALLEGED PSP2 IS MADE. THIS IS NOT A PSP2!! it's more akin to the whole menial upgrade trend that the PSP and even the DS have gone through. THIS is no different than the DS lite-DSi transition!!

 

[BobisOnlyBob]

No second analogue stick, still.

No, because that wouldn't be an update, it would be a new portable console. So you're saying they should ask developers to start working on supporting a brand new console when most of them have just put their support behind the old one?

They've already done that by REMOVING the UMD, the format they pushed and hyped on developers, who then proceeded to DEVELOP SOFTWARE on it. They're suddenly asking them to stop supporting the old format and switch to digital distribution when there are still discs being pressed!
Yes, it's a bit more available, but adding a new analogue stick would be like when the dual shock became available for the PS1. Some games required it, others supported it, others ignored it... and it would greatly hurry the transition.

Will someone PLEASE explain to me why the hell everyone thinks that this looks ugly?!?! It looks fine! Please, I'm dieing to know, what exactly is it that makes it look apparently "ugly"?

And as for the games you already own on UMD, I believe that you can upload them to a memory stick and then play them on the Go! version. That's what I've heard anyway.

The PSP 3000 will still be around, and I think the PSP Go! is meant mainly for downloadable games. You should still be able to play UMD games on the Go! (whoa, I think I made a pun!) by uploading them on a stick if what I said above this is true.

You're still only answering your own question You're not even listening to me, you're just listening to yourself. So to make myself clear, I will have to yell at you.

HOW DOES A GAME THAT NEEDS TWO STICKS WORK ON A PSP WITH ONLY ONE STICK?

When did Indigo become a troll? I PM'd you, AND replied to you in the forum. Reported.

PSX Days, Dualshock, it's been said 800 times and you aren't listening.

EDIT:
You even replied to one of my PM's!! And seemed to understand how it could work!

Me,

I don't wanna go into this in the forums, mainly because I already did earlier in the thread, but anyways. It could've been like the PSX days, games ship with 2 control schemes (one for the dual shock/one without would now be one for dual sticks/one for just one).

I think it could work, and work quite well *shrug*.

Troll,

And how many of them were signifigantly improved by the dual thumbsticks when it was only an optional playstyle as opposed to the rule?

Take a day off friend, you keep attacking people for no good reason.
