If you're a hardcore Super Stardust HD player, Super Stardust Portable will feel totally alien to you. If you're trying this out for the first time, things won't be as tough but the game is still very clearly designed around different hardware -- it just wasn't made for the PSP. If you can get by these restrictions, you'll enjoy the download, but veterans beware.

Super Stardust Portable on PS Plus Premium now features full Trophy support!
Amazing. Time to get back and grab that Platinum before Hogwarts, PSVR2 and Octopath Traveler 2 will steal all the time.
I own this on my PSP and Vita. I did not see it in the article but will those versions get a patch for trophies as well?
It was never released on Vita, and PSP doesn't have trophies.
So no, the PSP versions won't get trophies.
PS3 version already had it.
VR had it.
Now "PS4 and PS5" have it.
Just like the PS4/5, you can play this PSP version on the Vita. So I dont see how it too can't have trophy support. I was playing it on my Vita [tv] last night seeing as i could not play delta (too many touch specific options). Now i did also try it on my PS5 and noticed it looked more polished than on my Vita so it may be that the game was completely rebuilt for the tv experience.
On my vita tv it looked rather grainy but then again that was running at 720p on my tv unlike when i play it on the actual vita oled screen (looks more natural). The 5 version was very clean and vibrant.
This game could really use twin-stick support. On PS Vita, you were able to map the face buttons to the right stick... can't seem to find a way to do this on PS5. Anyone have any luck?
I like that the vita has that option. It does suck that trying to do the same on the DS4/5 controller results in nothing. I like how it looks cleaned up on the 5 though, but I will stick to playing on my vita with that added right stick acting as the face buttons.
Remember when the PS3 launched? It didn't have trophies at all. Trophy support was added in soon after launch. SO adding it to games is not unheard of.
Mixmoff and Aevan kick it old-school this week as they talk Gay Tony, Ratchet and Clank, Modern Warfare 2, Dragon Age, Beaterator, Ninja Blade, and more. This show also features a special guest editorial segment by open casting call respondent Dr. Scares!
Action is intense as you navigate your tiny ship through screens filled with asteroids and other nuggets of multi-coloured debris and the PSP's screen is constantly full of dangers. In fact, this makes the game a rather tough nut to crack as it's all too easy to miss pieces of flotsam and get wiped out. Annoyingly, Sony chose to make three modes (Endless, Survival and Bomber) available as premium DLC, so for the full package you have to fork out an extra few bucks. Not bad, but not essential.
I totally disagree with this review. The game is certainly different than SSHD on the PS3, but it's an excellent game in its own right. My only complaint would be that it doesn't have as much content as the PS3 version, but the controls are the best "dual stick" adaptation that I've ever seen on a handheld.
Super Flopdust.
its ok i think :/
its better on the PS3
Man I was REALLY excited for this! The only reason I haven't bought this yet is because I'm waiting for my local GameStop to get PSN cards in stock; maybe them being sold-out was a "blessing in disguise"
SSHD is my favorite arcade/PSN game of all time and I was hoping I could get the same experience on the go:(
It's really hard for developers to adapt to the single analog stick design so the PSP 2 definitely needs dual analog sticks. I still love my original PSP 1000 though:)
...with it getting a 6.5. Some of the negatives IGN point out are valid however, once you get to grips with the control scheme its actually an extremely playable game. My Son has already racked up a score of over 80 million!
Once they add an endless mode this game will be a must have. As it stands I would score it 8.0/10. Its no where near as broken as IGN try to point out.
I'm actually sick of the PSP continuously being shot down for only having one analog stick. Hell, the Nintendo does not even have one and it does pretty well for itself. Exploit the PSP for what it has and stop selling it short for what it doesn't have.
