Categorically denies that PlayStation Portable 2 is in development...
PSP 2 on the way? Not according to Sony Computer Entertainment...
Sony has flatly denied that a PSP mark 2 is in the works, despite usually-credible news source IGN claiming otherwise this week.
Speaking to TechRadar earlier today, a SCEE rep told us in no uncertain terms that there were definitely no current plans for a PSP 2, despite IGN's claims from its unnamed sources.
"IGN has learned from several credible sources that the PSP 2 is indeed on the horizon, and will be packing multi-touch technology," reads the initial report that kicked off the latest rumours.
Acquire, famous for games like Tenchu and Octopath Traveler, becomes KADOKAWA subsidiary. Can this mean a revival for beloved series?
I would kill to have a Way of the Samurai game with a huge budget and modern tech... The first game was one of my greatest joys on PS2 back in the day. And I really hope From Software will do something with Tenchu... I hate that they're just sitting on the IP like it doesn't even exist.
Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.
Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?
Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.
Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki Yoshida is interested in working on a brand new Final Fantasy Tactics game.
Not from you.
Knowing how you handled FF16 by trying to make it appeal to non-fans and changing the entire gameplay design I can see you changing Tactics to appeal to non-fans.
If they’re going to do this please give it to someone who wants to keep the game and genre in tact.
I wouldn't mind a new FF Tactics longs they keep the tactical elements of Tactics in it as well as a very in depth story. Which FF Tactics years ago has by far one of the best stories in the series.
Loving the PSP2 mock up attached to a denial :)
I think the denial is fair enough but you have to bear in mind that their psp sales would drop like a stone if they DID confirm that a successor was in production.
Touchscreen PSP would be cool though.
If I was forced to hazard a guess - I would say that Sony will release a PSP 4000 'refresh' later this year (with minor improvements to current model) and a new PSP 'mark 2' sometime in 2010 or 2011.
I have been given this info on good authority from un-named sources AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF TEH INDUSTREY (ie some drunken hack said it at a party once...)
for a portable gaming platform. Your fingers and motions limit your viewable area. What would be a good feature though is including a qwerty keyboard under the screen of the psp2 and using the touch pad feature from the ps3 keypad.
I don't want touchscreen on the next PSP, sorry, make another brilliant technical marvel of a shrunken down console for two hands, don't dumb down because of the market, Sony. Do your own thing.
AKA; L2 and R2 on the sides of shoulder buttons and another anologue nub, but feel free to put in Sixaxis-like features and possible vibration if you feel it fit.
I bet IGN is doing some hard and nice effort to encourage Sony to make PSP2 using the gamers opinion influences...
