PSP Is Go!

[AceDiamond]

I have one single question: where in the world is the second analog stick!?

Did the N64 need one? NO. Must I repeat what I just said a few posts up.
*point's to previous post*
It's not up for debate, people just gotta deal with it. Not once have I nor anyone I know ever had trouble with this "design flaw"

The N64 had more buttons than the PSP, thus making that argument hilariously flawed, much like this one.

How do they still not put two analog sticks / nubs on?! That's the first thing I think of, when the idea of a PSP upgrade comes up. I'm disappointed already.

Because it's a handheld, not a PS3-mini. 3D action games do not work on a handheld

It's a handheld that is roughly as powerful, if not more (in theory), as a PS1. 3D Action games can happen for it, and it doesn't look like they aren't going to stop trying. Granted you do not play said titles, but that's subjective.

Note the lack of a second Analog stick....

Sony, you have officially become the LEAST intelligent company on the face of this earth.

But it still had only one analogue stick which was my point. The N64 did not suffer because of it and no game I have played on the hand held has suffered greatly because of the lack of a second stick. It WOULD be nice to have a second stick but it's not necessary and should only be implemented into the next gen PSP (ieSP2), doing it now is pointless.

Why do so many people here automatically hate the PSP? Have you even tried it? I have the PSP and the DSLite they're both good systems with faults and perks. Unless you have used the console for more than 15 minutes you're talking on speculation seriously.

Oh please! Why does Sony keep trying!? They know DS is more popular, advanced, and better. I hope that rumor of Microsoft buying out Sony comes true.

PSP is far more advanced than the DS, the PSP faster than the PS2 and has slightly more ram, the DS is a N64 with less colors.

There are some great games on PSP and some great games on DS, which makes them both fun systems. I guess it's more on taste.

But screw the PSP and the DS, I've got the best handheld ever made, the Game Gear, it's more powerful than both the PSP and the DS, how do I know? It takes 6 batteries, more batteries = more powerful, so enjoy your primitive handhelds, I'll be rocking in full mono baby

Ok let me try a different approach.

Number of consoles with two analog sticks in 1996: zero
Number of consoles with two analog sticks in 2009: six (counting all that have existed to date)

One of those six is the PS1, post-introduction of the dual shock controller. What is the PSP? A handheld with roughly the PS1's power. Do you see why people are expecting two analog sticks now?

In my experience the only people who ***** about the lack of a second analog stick are those with relatively little knowledge of the PSP who assume that the only games available for it are Chains of Olympus, Crisis Core and Secret Agent Clank, all of which are shit.

Hey hey hey don't be so harsh. *hides FF7 and Gow games* "don't worry my pretties, he didn't really mean it, just ignore the bad man"

But aside from that ludicrous statement I agree

 

[Evilvikingking]

Frankly, it bores me.

I think it looks good, not sure what all the people are crying about.

Now, the question whether it is a usefull addition still remains. I think if they have a low price-point and the potential to download a lot of smaller games for less money then it could work. I'm pretty sure they will allow you to convert your UMDs so I see no preoblem in that area. If it is confortable can only be judged by holding it, it looks a lot lighter which is a plus.

Last time I checked, Metal Gear Solid and Gran Turismo were games (and if you say Metal Gear Solid is a movie, not only are you completely predictable, but you're an idiot).

Okay I will give Metal Gear a recognition but I hate racing games, which is fully just a matter of opinion. granted I still stick by my statement that they are fixing the wrong problem, from what I understand the lack of games for the PsP is a huge problem the dynamics of the PsP itself is not so much an issue.

I understand where you are coming from but seriously adding it NOW wouldn't be worth it. Like I said, IF there ever is a PSP2 THEN it would be practical to put it in (which they probably will). Doing it now just wouldn't be worth it. Hey I'd like a second stick as much as the next guy but it really hasn't hampered the usability of the system or many of the GOOD games.

 

[RagnorakTres]

Well, looks aren't much to go on, but if they will let me download the games and movie I already own for free and maybe some nice free demos, I might upgrade. But until such facts surface, I'm sticking with my 3000.

 

[AutumnGold]

i could shit a better handheld than that

Really Microsoft buying out one of the biggest electronic companies in the world? Where have I been? Oh thats right, I've been on planet Earth, not bizzaro world.

On Topic: Minus the fact that I've never owned a PSP or plan to, that thing looks so slick. Now if Sony could only punch out some decent titles for the PSP I might give it a look.

 

[Brotherofwill]

Wait, I just thought of something, isn't this more or less how people get games/apps on the iPhone?

Just an observation.....

That's kind of the reason that Sony are pushing the digital-only format of gaming. Obvious, isn't it?

 

[Sewblon]

It looks good, but what would I do with it now that I am bored with Chains of Olympus.

Patapon and Locoroco.

Then you can sell it.

Whats Locoroco?
I don't know that one.

Also, to all of you demanding a second analog stick, THHBBBBBBBB. The second analog stick is pointless. I actually found it easier to move the camera with the face buttons, once I got used to the idea. The second analog stick a) takes up more space and b) serves little to no purpose. I like it the way it is, I just hope those conversion kiosks don't run into the same problems the voting machines did (Virus protection? C'mon. That's like your child's teacher telling you he wears a condom every time he teaches: better than the alternative, but someone is clearly doing their job horribly, horribly wrong).

THIS is Locoroco....like patapon it looks so childish but is oodly fun and somewhat addictive lol. You will feel like less of a man after playing it though lol.
