| davygee said: I think you're right about the PSP now having a reputation of some sorts. But I totally disagree about the ports comments that are banded around. Yes, when the PSP was first introduced, there seems like a plethora of ports rather than PSP specific games, but over the course of the last few years, there are more and more PSP only games as well as universal releases across most consoles. I think people compare the PSP with the PS2 which IMHO is unfair, they are 2 different units and should provide 2 different gaming experiences. Anyway, from my initial list (which didn't include loads more games that are already out and are excellent) there aren't that many ports....maybe Burnout Legends, SOCOM, Virtua Tennis, Powerstone and Pirates are the only ports. The others are made up of universally releases titles and PSP specific titles like Locoroco, Syphon Filter, Portable Ops, Pursuit Force, Daxter, Tokobot, Lumines, Mercury, Exit and Field Commander. On top of that, there are games coming out for the PSP, that will only appear on the 360 and PS3 like Ghost Recon 2 and Rainbox 6 Vegas. I think this will help because the PSP won't be competing with the PS2 with these games. And it cannot compete with the 360 and PS3. Also, Crisis Core, Monster Hunter 2 (huge in JP) and GOW Chains of Olympus should be huge games over the next 6 months for the PSP. I'm really looking forward to the rest of this year. And feel that the PSP will get stronger as it goes along. |
I completely agree with this assessment, especially about the games coming up. Got to play those new games.
I like having my PSP with a few hundred songs and some shows I can watch along with a few games loaded on my memory stick (custome firmware) everywhere I go, too. That includes PS1 games that I can now exchange game saves with the PS3. Hopefully the WiFi access with the PS3 comes soon, too, so I can stream stuff from the PS3 anywhere.
Anyway, I think the PSP will have a great year this year, even if overshadowed by the DS.
