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.

 

I beg to differ ... oh , and WAXF wasnt even expected to be big BTW ...

 


Pursuit Force: 74.4% on Gamerankings

Wild Arms XF: 68%

Secret Agent Clank: Currently 75% with only 4 reviews, but one is a 6.5/10 from IGN

 

God I hope that this will be the most dissapointing score games will get on the PSP ... and then I guarantee that it will be the best rated system ;)

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!

 

Well at this point there are only 62 PSP games on Metacritics that are rated above 80% and I find that a great score for most games ...

 

And I agree , for example I do bealive that PF : EJ is awesome , and it only has a 73% rating on metacritics . I also adore Medieval Resurrection which holds only 66% ... so yeah , what I consider great and what revievers do , often differ :) Thats why I like the PSP ... it has to many games I like and its portable :D

They should get on with a BC PSP2.  Try to come up with good piracy solutions.

And the PSP2 should also be a Sony Erickson cell phone.

The next DS should also second as a cell phone, btw (still could be cheap, no problem there).   Lots of peeps would like to just carry one device, and anyone who didn't want to activate the phone service wouldn't have to.

I hope they make a psp2 and you only have to use the disc inside the umd casing, all of my umd casings are either broken, or missing. Anyone else get this problem? I think it happens because the psp gets too hot and the glue comes undone. Well, now whenever I want to play one of my games, i have to take the casing out. Is it because I have an early model?



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.

Not me . I take care of my UMDs . When I go around I usually take with me 2 PSP-sized bags : the hand-held itself and a PSP formed UMD protector that holds 8 UMDs ;) You should buy one to , its dirt cheap , I bet you could find one for~ 5$ :)

I saw maybe 3 games in that List I am even 1/2 interested in... so really THIS is the BEST year? Ouch.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

The rest

Lackluster or not even intrested 1%

 

 

But back to original topic this is probably the best year for PSP because of Kingdom Heart and other Square Games. Might even have to get one of these PSP's

 



I am WEEzY. You can suck my Nintendo loving BALLS!

Really is this the best bashing you can come up with ? I think everyone agreed that the PSP game library is not for everyone , so the negative comments where left behind on the first page if I remember correctly ...

Kingdom Hearts=re-purchase of the system for me



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I also love the PSP because it reminds me SO MUCH of the N64. Great console with great top of the line games, not for everyone the way PS1 was, but if it had the games you really liked you'd probably like it better than PS1. N64 also had a really sool console design, as does PSP. 3rd party support is weak for both, and both used the wrong format, giving the console/handheld a unique strength/weakness against their competitor...
