Forums - Sony - PSP games of 08!! Best year for PSP EVER

Garcian Smith on 16 June 2008

Now that many of the games on that list have been released:

It looks like Pursuit Force, WAXF, and Secret Agent Clank are/were disappointments. On the flip side, GoW and Patapon have turned out to be awesome, and Echochrome and FF Crisis Core was liked by a lot of people. The list of PSP software for the second half of this year, not to mention '09, is looking really thin, though. Maybe more will be announced at E3.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

WAXF?



And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

PSP is highly rated in my book... it reminds me of my favorite system ever, the Nintendo 64. Boht systems have superior graphics to their competitors, but the wrong format was chosen (N64 should of had disks as a console and PSP should of used carts as a handheld. On portables, quick loading>lots of data and cut-scenes, and consoles the opposite is true) However, both have some very very high quality games. While depth of quality is much shallower on PSP than DS (same for N64 v PS1), PSP top games are just as good (and in my opinion better) than top DS games. When it comes to good games, DS has about 100-150 games that are quite good while PSP only has about 35-60. But really, do you need for than 30 games for a handheld (that handhleds lifetime) anyway? There should be at least 20 high quality PSP games that appeal to every gamer at this point. There are about 40 that appeal to me...

Well seeing that I have almost 50 games ( and Ive played at least 150 ) I would say that there are much more than 50 good games ... If I would buy only quality games , and I would have all of the ones I want , my collection would probably be ~ 80-100 games ... but I know that Im a bit different than most :P

Well, I don't consider games like Harvest Moon 64 (75% or so ranking) Riviera the promised land (65% or so ranking) to be "quality" games per say due to their low scores, but I love those games to death. If you include games like that PSP probably has 150-200 games. But 85% or higher games I bet PSP only has about 65... but again, do you need more on a handheld? The graphics and control are (imo) superior to DS, get a $15 power converter and the PSP has infinite battery life for car trips, and you can listen to music and watch movies! Fantastic system. Nintendo needs to release more 1st party games on DS to rekindle my interest... only good one I have played in the last 9 months are zelda and advance wars...pokemon was a year ago :(

PSP has had Patapon and Crisis Core and Wipeout and GoW just this spring!



Onimusha12 on 18 June 2008

I doubt there will be a PSP2 until at least 2015 if not later. Since the DS' successor will most likely have similar graphics it is in Sony's interest to stick it out with the PSP.

Wonder if these will help software sales?
