Cwalat5767d ago

feeling the updated screen tech and mic, but i gotta ask... since they are already in the planning of improving the PSP, why don't they add another analoug stick?

release a firmwire update so devs doesn't loose money because of the Pirated version

Get some more contracts from publishers before designin a new PSP model, instead go and make Resident Evil PSP, Devil May Cry PSP and many more.. a reality...

Mr_Bun5767d ago

Thank you! I don't understand why they are refusing to add a 2nd analog! It is probably the only reason that I haven't picked one up yet.

Jackthepwnsaur5767d ago

it would then be considered as the PSP2, you guys still dont get it do you? They cant change the standards of handheld play until we get to the next-generation of handheld gaming, which is the PSP2. Developers wouldnt even be using the 2nd Analog stick cause they cant gimp the People who have a PSP-1000 and PSP-2000.

Xemnas5767d ago

Yeah i was going to say the same thing why don't they just put the damn analog stick thats what everyone wants.

TOO PAWNED5767d ago

@Jackthepwnsaur

Glad to read intelligent comment on this site, something rare. I wrote same stuff who knows how many times, but it seems people are either ignorant or..... IGNORANT!

Mr_Bun5767d ago

Technically they have already gimped them by adding a buit-in mic and making the screen better on this new version. There is obviously a market for those who want the 2nd analog and I am not sure why they aren't implementing it. They can rename it the PSP2 (or whatever you wish) if that makes you feel better, but this is the only reason I haven't picked one up yet.

TOO PAWNED5767d ago (Edited 5767d ago )

Mr BUn

Are you for real dude? Do you get it that if they add second analog stick it is basically another platform? Then developers have to program and build game for PSP without second analog stick and for one with 2nd analog stick, which is if not impassible, than finacially unprofitable to waste that much time and money for basically developing two games.

You will get second analog stick on next PSP, by next i mean NEXT PSP, not revamps that improve Screen, improve battery life and what not.

Crazyglues5767d ago

yeah it's really good to read and finally see some intelligent comments because all too often I come on here and it feels like it's nothing but little kids replying to the stories...

Every now and then it's just really nice to have a good discussion that has something worth reading...

So let me just say for me, I see no need to buy a PSP and that's sad, because I think Sony should have added that second analog and make the PSP work more with the PS3, too give people like me more of a reason to buy one... if it worked more like an extra controller for the PS3 I would have grabbed one in a heart beat.

But I guess there focus is on the DS by Nintendo, trying to compete with them..

kinggeoff5767d ago

some of you still do not get it.

As some intelligent posters have stated

THERE WILL NOT BE A SECOND ANALOG STICK

Why? EVERY SINGLE GAME (YES EVERY ONE) that makes use of this second analog stick WOULD NOT be able to be played on the older PSP versions. There is no way around this. Sony WILL NOT add a second stick and render the **35+ MILLION psp's** which have already been sold OBSOLETE.

That would be the stupidest move in gaming history since the Virtual Boy.

PLEASE TRY TO UNDERSTAND THIS BEFORE YOU LOOK LIKE A MORON ASKING FOR SECOND ANALOG STICK REVISIONS. PLEASE.

please?

fck there are some stupid kids here

SpecialSauce5767d ago

i can barely fit this thing in my pocket. i like the new curves on this one.

QuackPot5767d ago

Another analog stick is needed as well as r1/r2 & l1/l2 buttons to make the PSP fully compatible with the Ps3.......and as a future remote controller with display.

fingers crossed for PSP 2.

Also, a touchscreen like the iPhone would make the PSP the king of handhelds.

I would love the 2nd analog stick. that would force me to buy a 2nd PSP.

Light Yagami5767d ago

Freaking awesome. I'm buying another PSP.

moses5767d ago

Is the PSP 3000 like a next-gen PSP design? Or is it just a revamp of the current PSP hardware?

Jackthepwnsaur5767d ago

its revamping PSP hardware. just like what happened with the PS2. it was fat, then it got slim, then they kept slimming down the hardware from the inside and making it more efficient.

TapiocaMilkTea5767d ago

What about power consumption? Is it not going to last as long?

TOO PAWNED5767d ago

Very good question. Hmm seems no one asked them that, and neither Sony gave comment on battery life.

No. But MGS5: Ground Zeroes might actually be one of the greatest Game Demo ever, if not the best.

xHeavYx5h ago

I know a lot of people didn't, but I actually liked that story twist at the end. The game was fun and all, but I wouldn't call it a timeless classic.

just_looken2h ago

A demo is free that was a $40 cry for help as later we would know konami did not want to fun hideo and his team anymore that is why we got the unfinished phantom pain.

-Foxtrot6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Meh

Great stealth gameplay but the game was just average.

Bland open world that felt lifeless, the story felt shoehorned in, unfinished story etc. The whole thing was just average to me compared to the other main titled games.

I would have rather preferred it if they kept Ground Zeroes for the main game as the opening and the rest of the game turns into a Metal Gear 1 & 2 remake to bring things full circle.

just_looken2h ago

If you dig around they had old behind trhe scenes of phantom pain vids and books wrote around the time.

Before funding was puled the main idea was to keep peace walker coop it was in the games early builds and that end game were your building your base that was suppose to be metal gear one.

You as the fake big boss was going to make your own metal gear one map aka your base (outer heaven) then me as sold snake use the mode that is in the game invade/defeat the base even fight your current version of metal gear that was in the game but not finished.

So your idea was on the table bit got canned.

CrimsonWing696h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Like hell it is. That was the first time I became aware of being sold an unfinished game and was blown away about blind fanboys saying it was some perfect game.

Yea, the first few chapters were great until they do that thing halfway and make you replay all the missions again. Then little things like capturing animals but only seeing a JPEG unlike 3 where everything was modeled out. Areas were massive, desolate, and boring to look at.

Game was a massive let down for me and the potential was so high for it. Honestly, this was one of the most disappointing games I ever played. What’s worse is it starts off brilliant. You literally play through until you get to the point where you could tell they just stopped developing and then quickly used glue and construction paper to “finish” it and then sold it. Quite frankly, that’s insulting to consumers and fans.

Inverno6h ago

People have selective memory. This game had huge drama attached to it, what Konami did to Kojima and this game was horrible. Now they praise Konami cause they revived Silent Hill, even though SH looks half arsed too.

CrimsonWing696h ago

I dunno if they’re getting much praise after the Silent Hill 2 debacle. Makes me scared sh*tless for the MGS 3 Remake…

JEECE6h ago

Yes and no. In many ways in was a great game; there's a very strong argument that it has the best gameplay of any MGS game, and that it is one of the more interesting open world "playgrounds" we have gotten, in terms of how the world operates. But as an MGS narrative, it is pretty far down the list, for many reasons.

Fishy Fingers5h ago

For me, best gameplay, worst, everything else.

How Valve has treated Team Fortress 2 is a disgrace, and its community deserves better

17 years on from release and 5 years into a botting epidemic, Team Fortress 2 is on its knees, and it's high time Valve stepped in to fix it.

That’s just laughable to me. I think they’ve squeezed all they can out of an 12 year old game

mastershredder2d ago

"Easily" because they see mods, says the gamer. To heck with licensing, terms agreements conditions, etc. all you need to do is belive in mods. Yeah, so real superficial BS yo.

CrimsonWing691d 16h ago

Do people not want to play a new game? Like, I’d rather see 6 than just a prettier version of a game we’ve been playing since the 360/PS3 gen…

Popsicle1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

Yes please. Did pretty much everything there was to do in this game. Took a very long time and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Skyrim is one of my all-time favorites, but I would prefer a new experience.

anast1d 13h ago

They might as well. So far, it looks like ES6 will be mostly developed by AI.

Smellsforfree1d 9h ago

I don't want a next-gen version of a game I've already played to death. Skyrim was a great game, but I'm over it.
