Sony Finally Confirms New PSP

[Mykayel1]

Best of luck to them. Hope to see some decent competition resulting in both companies coming out stronger.

The 3DS is going to be the most awesome portable system EVER! It has such great graphics (so did the PSP), they ported actual CONSOLE games to it :O (isn't that one of the things you use to hate about the PSP?) and the 3D sounds just awesome! ('Any console that uses 3D is stupid because we don't need such a cheap gimmick. That is why the PS3 sucks and the Wii rules' weren't those you're exact words?)
It might be 250$ bucks, but it's very powerful so that makes it worth it! (Didn't you also say that superior hardware is not as important as a small price tag?)

That is basically a discussion I had with a co-worker a few weeks ago.
Now that the new PSP got announced his first comment was "Huh! No 3D? SONY SUCKS! =))". Does anyone else sense something wrong here? The sad part is that a LOT of people on a LOT of forums agree with him.
And people ask me why I think Nintendo Fanboys are hypocrites.

Maybe he meant 3D with glasses? I don't care for the glasses (I wear glasses normally and I don't like having to wear contacts to get the effect), but I'm excited to see how it looks without them.

Other than that, your co-worrker is a bit of a hypocrite (Of course, not all of us Nintendo diehards are). Better graphics are nice, but it should not be a priority for a handheld--works out nicely for me since I'd be playing them at home where I can make sure there's no glare and can recharge as soon as it is necesary, but it kind of sucks for people hoping for round-trip plane entertainment. My guess would be that Nintendo is altering its strategy since so many of the "hardcore" crowd won't go near their products.

I haven't been following the news of the PSP2 that much. Are there any rumors--or, better yet, confirmation--to a portable PSN to counter the 3DS's virtual console?

Sony already has their own 'virtual console' and it already was working on the old PSP so yes, there is confirmation.

 

[Rorschach II]

Dual Analog sticks? Isn't that what the PSP SHOULD of had?

It really is. And that is what made the PSP Go such a failure, the fact they didn't listen to customer demands and just made it *slimmer*

If it's a powerful and sophisticated device, i'll buy it.

"metal gear solid 4 runs on it, it has cameras, gps and motion controls."

Then I guess i'll buy it.

but any ways DITTO on the sentiment

From IGNs impressions, the touch stuff is optional, it's just there if you want to play it that way. If devs can make games that utilize these new features properly and without much stupid gimmickry or hassle, I'm not too bothered. I'll just be glad if they give us an option to stick with standard controls.

Although the axis stuff might lend it self well in shooters, I can see Call Of Duty using it for lean function or more precise aim. That kind of stuff would be cool.

Aye, pretty much as I figured, Sony doesn't typically force developers into one control style or another, or make them utilize every possible feature available. Having it available however, does broaden a developers ability for ingenuity.

Keep in mind, you're missing two shoulder buttons from a standard PS3 controller, so my guess is that some games will utilize touch-controls to compensate for that. Tossing a grenade in Uncharted for example could be done with a tap. Hopefully it will be truly optional in most cases, but I think it's just a bit of forward thinking on their part if they're planning on allowing PS3 games to be transferred onto the handheld, you'll need some way to compensate for the missing buttons. So perhaps the back touch-pad will do that in these cases, touch the left side for L2 and the right side for R2 or something similar.

Hmm. Nintendo, the 3DS isn't impressing me. This is. Be careful.

Off-Topic: Cool avatar. Get em' little buddy!

Thanks!

He envisioned a future where it would be possible to play a PS3 game, transfer it to your NGP so you could play it while you were out and about, and then transfer it back to your TV and PS3 when you got home.

He means that we can transfer actual PS3 games to that thing? OR to develop PS3 quality games to the thing?.

It sound pretty good thus far, but until I hear what I want to hear, and that is that the thing can emulate PS2 games, then I'll forget about the 3DS altogether and start saving for this.

According to the interviews when they launched it, both. The idea presented at the announcement show was that you could play your PS3 game at home, load it onto your PSP2 and play it on the go, then when you came home you'd be able to load it back onto your PS3 and continue where you left off. Additionally, they also showed a tech demo of the MGS4 demo running on the PSP2, and they stated that the port took only a few days to modify the code.

All in all, two very intriguing prospects there. On the one hand, it's extremely attractive for current PS3 owners, on the other, it presents an opportunity for those who passed on the PS3 to pick up a gaming system that's capable of playing the games they've missed and are interested in playing. Good on Sony.

Well, certainly the idea of playing Mass Effect 2, GTA IV, Metal Gear 4, God of War 3 and Bad Company 2 on the go sounds quite interesting indeed. For now, color me cautiously excited.

$5 says it will cost $300 or more. If it will be $250 like the 3DS, I will honestly be shocked. Can't wait to see the Sony rage after this is cracked as well when it comes out.

And cracked it will be...eventually. If not by way of software...then prolly by some hardware exploit (check your batteries Sony).

Well the battery method may not be as easy or possible this time seeing as it's a built in battery instead of an interchangeable one. My money is more on some software hack or hell, even some sort of R4 type card similar to how the DS got cracked lol.

The device will support standard flash media as well so who knows. I may be tempted to crack it just so I can port over my massive UMD library to the damn thing if they don't have some means of backward compatibility for us UMD owners.

Heh...

Dear Sony,

If you want to give birth to a generation of individuals aspiring to become the new Dark_Alex ...don't include full backward compatibility with PSP1 games .

Sincerely Yours,

A gamer.

P.S. You do know it's gonna get cracked whether or not you're going to include backward compatibility, right?

It does support PSP games but only ones you downloaded. Just wait for a CFW so you can just copy the ISO into the new PSP. Sorry, I don't agree with piracy, but not allowing me to play something I payed for on a system I payed for is just wrong.

I'll consider saving up once a new monster hunter game comes to the system.
