"Valkyria Chronicles PSP was not a real game

from Sony themselves sent to IGN:

NOTE: The PlayStation 3 game Valkyria Chronicles was shown at the event as a PSP title, but this was a mistake by Sony -- SEGA confirmed that this footage is from the PS3 game and there are no plans currently to announce a PlayStation Portable version of this game."

Hmm, I bet that they do have PSP version and they were not suppose to announce it yet because it might hurt the PS3 versions sales. Either way it looks cool on the PS3 and I plan on getting it.

Video error? Are the graphics that poor that they thought it could be a PSP game? I would have thought that any game that had PS3 quality graphics and was being shown as a PSP game would have had people talking like crazy???!!! Wow... look what the PSP can do!? No? Nothing? Hhhmmmmm.... just makes you wonder?

It kinda sounds like they got caught trying to fluff the lineup, I could be wrong, it just seems that way.

It's not fluffing the lineup because they didn't show it as being a PS3 game. So it's not like they advertised having a PS3 version and an extra PSP version. They just showed it in the wrong place, that's all.

they came out immediately and apologized for this mistake. I don't think ANY company would "fluff" the lineup and if they did it wouldn't be on such a small scale.

Who did they apologize to and how many have seen it? many have seen it and may still assume it's comming. Not everyone who watched G4 and various live internet broadcast log on to IGN, so they may very well make thier purchase for that that game with the others they shown. Your right they did get the apology out fast, but could that be because they screwed up or got caught? IMO I think they got caught, but it's not that big of a deal.

Yeah, this one of my anticipated game for late this year. I might if Sega it is going to include Trophies support via a patch anytime soon or maybe with the English localization on progress the game may include the support on box... but I doubt it o.O

17 - This wasn't a mistake it was probable original for......
showing that psp can playback all kinds of download content including gametrailers. Probably whoever was in charge of cut the film and computer graphics was told that they needed a PSP graphic in the video clip so they just grab whatever and threw it in. Add to the mistake made by the announcer (bad at names especially when extremely tired) adding the title as a PSP title instead of catching the error.

Just goes to show you that bunch of small mistakes can be as big as a Big mistake.

I was curious as to how good it did look though and thought that if it was true then that would be the next killer title on the PSP!

20 - kind of like how
Microsoft "fluffed" their E3 conference lineup by showing:

Fable 2
Gears of War 2

Resident Evil 5 (multi-platform)
Fallout 3 (multi-platform)
Final Fantasy XIII (multi-platform)

see? the foolishness can go both ways.

this was a simple mistake, no more, no less. it's been rectified now. let it go.

That to bad I think Valkyria Chronicles on the PSP would have been cool. I hope at least remote play will work with the PS3 version of Valkyria Chronicles.

O_O...NEED one thing, go search the sales and ratings of Killzone 1, maybe ur mindez drop the hype a lil bit ^^.
