WipEout Pulse and Daxter announced on PS2

Finally the rumors were true. We can read at HardGame2, one of the most important Spanish (and european) web of videogames, the next (This story has been translated by Google translator pages):

"As happened with Syphon Filter or Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters, Sony Computer Entertainment will release on PlayStation 2 Daxter and Wipeout Pulse, following his recent passage through PlayStation Portable. The first would see the day on July 25 next year, while the racing game that plays with the seriousness happen on September 3 this year."

Well this just makes me sick. Why can't Sony let these games stay only on the PSP. Because every time a PSP game is ported to the PS2 the game is not as good as the PSP version then it makes the PSP versions look bad. So my only guess is the devs want more money and could care less if the game is good or not on the PS2.

Edit

To Montrealien the reason I hate seeing Daxter and Wipeout Pulse become a PS2 games is because it gives people less of a reason to buy a PSP. Plus this makes it seem more likely that GOW for the PSP will come out on the PS2 too and that makes it easier for people not to buy a PSP so all this does is make Sony shoot them self in the foot.

Montrealien5837d ago

it makes you sick? It's a game man and more people will be able to play it that don't have a psp.

Montrealien5837d ago

I agree to a certain extent but I can't say it hurts PsP sales. It is just giving these games a chance to be played by a wider audience, nothing wrong with that. Alot of people where able to enjoy Silent Hill origins for example, most of these people would not have bought a PsP anyways. And as for God of War, nothing would please me more then to play that on my 42 inch, loved that game. If you think that by putting these games on the Ps2 sony will hurt the PsP, fear not, it won't have much affect on that. It will just let more people play these great games.

Also, why not just answer with a reply, those bubbles that important to you? hehe jk

Montrealien5837d ago

lol, I love the PS2 survivability. The commodore 64 of consoles, may it have a few years left in it, what an amazing console.

Batusai5837d ago

My crystal ball tell me that God of War CoO and FFVII: Crisis Core will arrive soon on PlayStation 2...

Charlie26885836d ago

Don't confuse ported first party Sony titles with third party cuz if that was the case we would have seen MGS:PO a LOOOOOONG time ago on the PS2 same goes for MH2 (among many other third party that will probably never get ported)

I still see this as a VERY cheap way yo make some quick cash since pretty much EVERY single PSP to PS2 ports has been HORRIBLY translated, poorly reviewed and lets not forget with the exception of the ported GTA poor sales too

Best PSP Games Of All Time Ranked - PlayStation Universe

Find out the answer to what are The Best PSP Games Of All Time in our ranked list of 16 excellent titles that appeared on Sony's first handheld.

Terry_B1136d ago

Bad List since Ridge Racers 2 is missing there.

PapaBop1136d ago

I'm curious but is it possible to legally play these games without buying a psp?

luckytrouble1136d ago

You can play some of them on the Vita via PSN purchasing, but a PSP with a functional UMD drive is the only completely legal way to play games like FF7: Crisis Core.

WeAreLegion1136d ago

Some of them, yes. But most PSP games are locked to that system or digitally on Vita. The Vita's second analog stick is amazing for FPS games. I use an emulator to play many PSP games. I know that's illegal, but I wouldn't call it unethical. There's no way to give developers money for these games anymore. Unless you buy their new games. :)

Highly recommend Infected, if you get the chance.

Magic_Spatula1136d ago

Emulators aren't illegal. Unethical? Maybe. The issue companies have are how you obtained the games. If you got them through legal matters (such as making your own backups of games you own and not distributing them), they're mostly okay with that. If you got the through less..... ethical means, then yeah, it's a no-no in their eyes.

Fluke_Skywalker1136d ago

@Magic_Spatula Like he said, there is no legal way to buy most psp games anymore in a way that gives the developers any money. So yes emulators are normally illegal and unethical, but in this case its actually the only way to play some of these games, if you didn't buy the games many years ago.

Fluke_Skywalker1136d ago

Yeah they really need to give us a remake of that for PS4/5 I absolutely loved that game. Still the saddest ending to a video game ever.

SDuck1136d ago

The fact this has vanilla Dissidia instead of Duodecim tells me not to take the list serious. Duodecim is obviously the superior since it has the same content (story included) from the first game and (much) more

Magic_Spatula1136d ago

Yeah. Duodecim was basically an enhanced version of the original game.

A Look at All of the 3D Platformers Available on Vita

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "3D platformers have long been a favourite genre of mine. Growing up on the likes of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon on PS1 means I’ve been conditioned to love the colourful, vibrant worlds and the exploration-based gameplay that often goes with the 3D platformer. In recent generations the genre has stalled, with fewer new releases and publishers unwilling to invest in new titles, and even older mascots falling by the wayside.

Yet thanks to its brilliant backwards-compatibility with PS1 and PSP games, the Vita has become something of a home for the neglected genre, with plenty of classic games playable (especially thanks to HD Remasters from the PS2 era) and a few brilliant modern titles thrown into the mix too."

Top 10 PlayStation Portable (PSP) Games

Carl Williams writes, "The PlayStation Portable was Sony’s first stand alone portable and boy was it a special platform. The power of this bad boy was about on par with the PlayStation 2 console, could play PSOne titles, had a large library (over 1,300 games worldwide), and it was one of the first portables to offer Internet surfing out of the box. Whew. That is a lot of games for fans to sift through, a lot are region specific releases (but the PSP is not region locked). Here are my Top 10 PlayStation Portable games – got a beef with one? Let me know in the comments!10) Mega Man Powered Up"
