PSP 2009 lineup is three times bigger: Monster Hunter, Resistance: Retribution

Gamer:

"PSP 2009 lineup is three times bigger: Monster Hunter, Resistance: Retribution The PSP has been enjoying a successful run, especially in Japan. The handheld just topped the 50 million mark recently. Considering the cost of the PSP, it is doing quite well for itself in the video game market. The system also received a huge boost from the latest iteration of Monster Hunter."

Mm, for some reason I'm having trouble going to this site is anyone else having trouble loading it?

jkhan5549d ago

I played Resistance Retribution Demo & I have to say I am quite impressed. The game has really set the standard on how traditional shooters should be made on PSP. I did felt the game was a bit easy but who cares as long as it was fun to kill those chimerans :D

lelo5549d ago

PSP's lineup for 2009 is very sad. Sony is only betting on the PS3, forgetting completely the PSP. Beside a few JRPG (witch are not my favorite type of games), Resistance: Retribution (witch a tried the demo and hated the controls) and the new Indiana Jones (i know nothing about, just a teaser), there is nothing to look forward in the PSP for 2009. Dam the PSP 3000 (no way of getting homebrew games for it).

Sad ... sad ... sad year for my PSP 3000. Anybody wants to buy it?

Babylonian5549d ago

I would be holding on to your PSP if I was you, you have no idea what they're planning for it. Wait till E3 comes...

I'd buy it! PM me! I need a cheap PSP3000 right now! Ya, at if like your really willing to sell yours. Give me a call when your done being sarcastic.

lelo5549d ago (Edited 5549d ago )

@Da One

Out of all those games, 90% are probably JRPG. Might play one or two of those JRPG's but frankly, JRPG are not my cup of tea.

- Locoroco 2 (liked the first one, so probably be getting the second)
- Patapon 2 (played the first one and did not like it) Locoroco is better.
- Resistance Retribution (played the demo, graphics were good but controls were horrible).
- The rest... hummm ... not very interesting... or don't know them.

Hardly very sad when Final Fantasy Disidia and KH Birth by sleep are not far off.

Lucreto5549d ago (Edited 5549d ago )

My PSP game collection has swelled over the last year. I had a DS for nearly 2 years before I got a PSP and I have nearly twice the games on my PSP than my DS.

I have the DS for RPG's like FF III & IV, Dragon Quest and Phoenix Wright (epic games by the way) and Prof Layton.

MY PSP has Star Ocean 1 and Star Ocean 2 will be out soon so I don't need to worry about SO4 being on 360. With Resistance and the LBP and a new Final Fantasy. I will be doing well on PSP for a while.

Resistance: Retribution rated for PS5, PS4 in Korea

The Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea has rated Resistance: Retribution for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, suggesting the PSP title will join the PlayStation Plus Classics Catalog.

darthv72702d ago (Edited 702d ago )

This will def be easier to play on tv than originally designed. I remenber hooking psp to ps3 to use a ds3. Cumbersome but it worked. Its a good spin off.

MrBaskerville702d ago (Edited 702d ago )

Hope we will get Valkyria Chronicles 2-3 and Carnage Heart at some point. There's a bunch of psp games I never got a chance to play.

monkey602701d ago

Good shout! There's few PSP games I'd care to have on current gen consoles but Valkyria Chronicles is definitely one of them

Aggesan701d ago

VC3 doesn't have an official version in english though. There's a great fan-translation though.

Nineball2112701d ago

*shouting* THEY SAID THE GAME RATING..... oh, nvm.

Hauntedasylum8701d ago

I didn’t know this title existed, so when I saw the headline, I thought a new Resistance was being made. Man I miss that series!

cluclap701d ago

That's because it's the worst in the series. It was good for a psp title though.

darthv72701d ago

Burning skies takes that distinction (worst). This is better than that.

Profchaos701d ago (Edited 701d ago )

It was actually a great game probably above the original they gave the character a personality for one.

Maybe your thinking of burning skies

Why Resistance Was So Incredible

While the studio is best known for Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet, and Clank, and Spider-Man back on the PS3 the studio broke from creating platformers and made one of the highest regarded science-fiction first-person shooters of all time. This was Resistance and it remains one of Sony's most acclaimed and dormant franchises.

Really wish Insomniac would bring back Resistance!

darthv721081d ago

Agreed. Until they do a new entry, I'd love to get the two portable games remade into console versions. Maybe in a nice compilation with the mainline titles.

monkey6021081d ago

Burning Skies wasn't a great game.
It was only a couple of hours long and there was nothing memorable about it.

I'd love a new entry

darthv721081d ago

^monkey, hence why it should be remade into a better version.

SullysCigar1082d ago

Resistance 3's campaign was gorgeous for the time - and an awesome game to boot.

monkey6021081d ago

I remember being put off by it because McHale wasn't the MC but it turned out to be my favourite campaign

CBaoth1081d ago

by and large though the Resistance IP featured many protagonists (4 altogether I think if you include the portables). One of the reasons I enjoyed it was not being shackled to individual story arcs. Very rare for a major franchise.

Army_of_Darkness1080d ago

My favorite resistance game as well! It seriously had creepy, scary a$$ moments bro! It made me want an action horror game from insomniac!

Mr_cheese1081d ago

Remember playing this through online co op with the move controller and gun attachment! What a game!

BlackIceJoe1082d ago

I've said in the past I'd like to see this series return and have it take place years later, like in the present.

I'll give you an example if I'm not mistaken the last game ended in the 50s, so if it was to take place some time in the 2020s you'd have an opportunity to see how the world changed after the fall of Chimera and all the new technology that came out of that war.

Just like in our universe we all know WW2 happened, but we never experienced it, so if the next Resistance game takes place years later so too would people in that universe know a war look place against the Chimera, they just wouldn't know what it really was like.

So getting to see how that universe would respond to the Chimera reemerging would be interesting.

Imagine a little kid talking with his grandfather about the war and the kid just thinks it was just a made up bed time horror story and what was said was worse than what really took place, but now that the Chimera come back the kid will find out why years later the old timer adults were still waiting for the Chimera to return.

I think there is great potential for this series still and I really believe the best way forward for Resistance is make it have a time jump too.

So hopefully this series will return.

Dragonopolis1081d ago

Great Idea. I'd play that version.

Resistance was a great game and of all the remasters.... I would play a great remastered version of resistance series as well

waverider1081d ago

I was blown away when i played for the first time Resistance on the PS3. Great Game. Also liked very much an played for hundred of hours the Co-op of R2. The SP campaign of R3 is also excelent. I really hope that Sony and Insomniac annouced the Remaster of the Series and a new chapter. They got story to do that.

Jambola121081d ago

Resistance 2 was one of the first few games i played on ps3 and I loved it, would definitely finish that again :D

Chevalier1081d ago

I loved all the Resistance games. But part 2 online was amazing. The Marksmen for the Spec Ops type class when it was fully upgraded was such an amazing weapon. Oh man I wish they release all the games again and let us play part 2 online again.
