PSP gets touched

This is a concept of what the rumorerd PSP2 could be.

With features such as:
An HD multitouch screen
Mini Bluray
Dual Analog, well... on the screen
And an internal hardrive

This could be the PSP fellow gamers have always wanted.

GodsHand5930d ago

Awesome concept. I like the transparent buttons on the screen.

Would hate to drop that thing by accident.

gaffyh5930d ago

Very bad concept, firstly it's incomplete the back has no design, no speakers, head phone slot, on/off button, wireless button etc. The mini blu-ray is a good idea as well as the ability to touch the screen for xmb options, the touchscreen dpad is a very bad idea as it is impractical and you'll probably end up breaking the screen when you have to button bash or "touchscreen bash". Also it needs physical analog sticks, and the R/L buttons look ridiculous.

Also it needs to be a lot wider so it doesn't look awkward like it does now.

UnasFortuna5930d ago

I think a touchscreen would be great for xmb functions, etc.. but for gaming... I think it is a waste of time. You need an actual analog stick on it... I don't see how it would work as well with just a touchscreen dpad. But overall, as mentioned... I think it is long overdue for a psp overhaul. It could be so much more and I don't care what they charge for it.

SynGamer5929d ago

Looks horrible. Impractical. Uncomfortable. The list goes on...and that's just from looking at it. So far my favorite concept is:

If they go ahead and make it into a phone then they may have something.

Mainman5929d ago

PSP doenst need an HD screen. HD capability on a small screen like that is not necesary and won't see much of a difference between a 480p screen.

Having noted this, I hope PSP get a 720p HD screen though.

SSCOOLCHEA5929d ago

i hope i can trade my phat and my slim for it . i know you have to make changes but come on i just pick up my slim couple months ago..

That's actually not a bad design mock-up. Would be very intresting to see what something like this could potentially cost. I like it and all but the transparent buttons and anolog thumb sticks hmmmm.... I'm not so sure how that would function with the entire interface being touch sensitive. You could accidentally bring up the xmb if the action got to tense. LOL!!!!

All in all it's rather pretty...
although probably pretty expensive if it was an actual HD screen an mini Blu-Ray, oh ad let's not forget the harddrive.

BlackIceJoe5930d ago

That looks sexy but after you would touch it then it would look bad because of the finger prints. So if this would ever become the PSP2 I hope that it would come in another color other then black.

poopsack5930d ago

Well I guess an option to lock the XMB could be possible, maybe on the side. thanks for all of the feedback

Mr_Kuwabara5930d ago

IDK, this one is neat and all but I find the other concepts posted on N4G a lot better.

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.

Relientk7727d ago

Don't play with my feelings like that.

Also, new Tenchu please!

TheColbertinator27d ago

Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

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?

ravens5230d ago

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5230d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212130d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

MrNinosan30d ago

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5229d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5229d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

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.

Barlos30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani30d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum31d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman30d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim30d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

I disagree Batman

FF XVI Producer Is Interested In Working On A New Final Fantasy Tactics Game

It's insane its been this long since the last release.

CrimsonWing6932d ago

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.

VersusDMC32d ago

He worked on tactics ogre reborn. Was there changes? He wouldn't make an FF tactics game an action game. It will be AA but faithful. Probably what the Diofield Chronicles team and some of the FFXVI team is probably working on already and he is just keeping a secret.

And FF hasn't had a set gameplay design since X. I disliked the MMO, 12, 13 FF's but didn't mald for years. I played other games. Stop crying as he probably won't make a single player FF again and will be busy with the next FF MMO.

EternalTitan32d ago

I can feel your hatred. Keep it up.

Ataraxias32d ago

Tactics Ogre Reborn was an overall solid product but almost eliminated the concept of builds in the game.
So we'd probably end up with a system where character jobs like Mercenary for Ramza is 80% of the character instead of being freeform.

SegaSaturn66932d ago

Tactics Ogre Reborn changed a lot of gameplay mechanics for the worse. The class system is weird and hard to lock in roles, and they shoehorned a new "random card appearing" mechanic on the maps which makes no sense. Previously you obtained those boosts from killing powerful opponents, not spawning randomly.

There's a way better way to play Tactics Ogre: the fanmade onevision mod of the psp version.

EternalTitan32d ago

16 was just a terrible mess.
Its not even a JRPG let alone a final fantasy game.
Yosi piss(who said he hates JRPGs) should not touch another Final Fantasy game ever again.

VersusDMC32d ago

87 metacritic can't be a terrible mess.
If Kingdom Hearts is a JRPG then FFXVI is a JRPG. And he said he hates the term JRPG as it carries a bad stereotype with western journalists.

So you're just incorrect on several fronts...

Asterphoenix32d ago

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.

Tapani31d ago

Yes, alongside with Vagrant Story. Playing FFT, then Vagrant story and finally FFXII is a bliss. Deepest lore and best stories ever made in video games.
