Err, PS Store PSOne Classics are playable directly from the PSP. I don't see why Remote Play should have anything to do with that.
Tsubasa Inaba, producer at SCEA for WKC's localization said they're working on voice chat and global servers.
If it all works out, prepare for awesomeness.
How is this news? Every single one of those titles was rated a very long time ago and not a single new PSOne Classic title has been rated by the ESRB since then. We're going back at least 6 months with these titles, too.
I'm pretty sad SCEA doesn't care for this portion of their market.
Hey man, thanks for reminding me VLC for Ubuntu installed video plugins... I somehow forgot that the last time I installed Ubuntu.
Yay, Linux support on N4G! (of all places...)
Here, have some very well deserved bubbles.
Like how FF2/4j allowed multiple controller input and FF3/6j allowed splitting controller input?
Cool.
I'm actually surprised Nintendo would do stat-tracking chest beating to promote a completely new service. It almost seems like they're trying to convince their shareholders that the video service isn't useless.
I'll have to agree that digital-only will deprive us of retail bonuses such as artbooks, soundtracks, figurines, and any other freebies some companies give us without the need for limited editions (it cuts into their profits, but if they're passionate enough... why not?).
I've rarely bought actual artbooks (I'm not an artist). I've also rarely hunted down soundtracks to games, most especially since they're usually as expensive (if not more) than regular music CDs. Both are usua...
That doesn't matter. It means they got kernel access, which is the seed of all custom firmware exploits.
Surprise: MegaMan Legends 3 (ten years later...)
See it coming: yet another Phoenix Wright game, but this time for consoles.
Keiji Inafune confirmed that Capcom won't be doing many, if any JRPGs anymore in the near and mid-term future. Breath of Fire is dead, guys.

A four year old game's port bundled with a demo won't move new Wii units. None of the console versions of Monster Hunter sold very well compared to the PSP games.
Nothing of interest this time around. Not a fighter fan and I'm just not interested enough in Killzone 2 right now to even want to play new maps. Cops & Robbers could have been interesting, but I'm currently burnt out from playing Burnout Paradise for the time being. Might grab it at a later date.
Here's hoping they at least round this thing out with a couple of Disgaea 3 characters... (I've given up on wishing for PSOne games)
What you just described is exactly what I said, only it would basically be the PSP2.
If they release new games on a file type that isn't readable on older PSPs, that's basically cutting off the entire audience that would've bought games on those older systems. Sony's back to square one, since they've abandoned the millions of previous PSP systems.
The only question that remains is how Sony wants to market this thing if it's even real: As a new PSP version or as a ne...

If piracy truly was the problem, they'd be ditching the PSP as a whole and the PSP Go! would essentially be the PSP2. Games out for the PSP Go! would have to avoid being backwards compatible because every single PSN release has been hacked since its release and made available to pirates.
I don't see how this download-only system would thwart people who stick to the older system revisions.
8 to 16 GB internal storage?
That's a joke, right?
Regardless, if Sony thinks I'll gladly re-buy the 40-odd UMD games I currently own, they can rest easy. I won't.
The joys of being an early PSP adopter: Each new PSP edition severely screwed the previous one.
This won't stop piracy at all. Hacked versions of all PSN store releases for PSP have popped up all over the web.
@2.2 I hope you mean Valkyria Chronicles, seeing as how SEGA WOW made it...
You were expecting something else on a Sunday?
And the first game came out on PS2 as well.
It's THE best selling PSP franchise in Japan. 2G is the game to beat when it comes to sales on the PSP in Japan (over 2 million sold).
That's definitely one of the better Daft Punk fan videos. Daft Punk even has a mirror of it hosted on their official Youtube page.
So this only fixes the PC version? Some of those fixes would also be appreciated on the PS3, like trophies being deactivated on mods that are clearly only maps.
