It´s just as you say, seems too good to be true. Anyway, a second analogue stick is more important to gameplay than the true power of psp 2.



Xoj on 11 July 2009

all that thing is possible.

sony biggest drawback its battery life.

lets hope fuel batteries are here soon =(.

powerVRs chips are used for nokia, samsung and apple smartphones.

Eurogamer's Spanish outpost reckon they're in possession of some specs for an all-new PlayStation Portable, currently in the planning stages at Sony HQ. This isn't the PSPgo. It's a true successor to the PSP.

They claim that the new handheld could output games on the same level as the original Xbox, and is built around a newer version of Imagination Technology's PowerVR SGX543MP (which you can read up on here), which in its improved state would be a quad core chip. It's claimed this thing would be able to run Open GL 2.0 and, somehow, DirectX 10.

Sounds just a bit too good to be true to us, but then, who knows! All we want to know is if it has a second analogue stick...

Reached for comment, Sony would only say "we do not comment on rumour and speculation".

Great news if you like the PSP. However, judging how bad the PSP is getting thumped by the DS, it could be a moot point. Folks who bought or are buying the DS over the PSP aren't concerned with the graphics. Hasn't Sony learned anything from the success of the Wii? Gameplay sells systems, not eye-candy. Eye candy only works with lap dancers and strippers.

I would buy a great looking game game experience machine ie the psp2 any day over the shitty crap looking ds



Predictions

GT5 will sell 3.2million + first week on ps3 (made 06 March 2010)

FFXIII Versus will have higher Metacritic scores than FFXIII after the first month.... Bet going on with perpride - loser changes sig for a month

KH3 will be PS3 EXCLUSIVE - willing to bet removal from vgchartz for a month

Well they didn't say the graphics will be as good, just it would be as powerful as the Xbox. If the graphics just get a minor push forward from God of War and Crisis Core then the graphics will be more than acceptable. I just hope you can play the PSP games you already own!
I don't really want a touch screen, maybe just for the XMB and some PSN games but its not necessary.

+ Battery life too.

That would be great but, when will the psp have real games.

this time next year the psp should have

Dissidia: Final Fantasy
Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep
LittleBigPlanet
Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines
The new Jak and Daxter game
The new Silent Hill game
GTA: Chinatown Wars
Tekken 6

+ more, but these are all the ones that most appeal to me. These are all promising games.

 

EDIT: Oh snap! I forgot the game I'm most looking forward to, MGS: Peace Walker.

We still don't know what will the PSP2 will feature so your post is also moot.
