The thing is that I was hugely disappointed by GT4 so I am really carefully with this and GT5. At least it looks great.

Oh and I needed to find this thread myself. Search was not helping... the date you pick (2 years) only counts from the date the thread is made not from the last message.

New PSP looks cool too. I still own my fatty from launch, might buy the new PSP.
We will see :p
Fatty for life! The enhanced portability of the Go! is awesome.. but the price is terrible and frankly it does not look as comfortable to game on, and the PSP already gives my hands cramps.

Holy *bump*!

It looks good, but I really don't see the appeal personally. Who wants to play a driving "sim" on the PSP?
I agree, and think this is the case with many "full game" experiences on the PSP. I want PSP games to stand alone, but rather in a way that complements "console" games instead of mimics them entirely. GT on PSP to me is more like a technical feat than something I'll spend time with, especially with GT5 and Forza 3 right there on my big screen TV with controls that feel comfortable. Do they really expect people to wanna "tap" buttons through corners in a sim at this point? I just.. yeah. I'm as baffled as you are.

That's precisely why Rock Band Unplugged looks so damned good. If only more developers would create games specifically for the platform, and not try to cram PS3 games into this format, the PSP would be so much better off as a result. It's also the primary reason why the DS has so many great games... because that's exactly how developers approach it.

Yeah, and there are a handful of examples of games that are fantastic on the PSP too, it's just that they need to go that extra mile to figure them out. It pains me to see these screens of Assassin's Creed on the PSP and realise that they're totally shrinking the actual AC game to PSP format. Sigh.

I was talking to a friend yesteday about how awesome it would be with a Devil May Cry spinoff on the PSP that is like Viewtiful Joe . We got more and more worked up until our heads were generating electricity, they were spinning so fast.. and then we realised it WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

Well, maybe not... but Capcom has made some great PSP games. I bet Resident Evil winds up being a watered down port like Assassin's Creed though :(

Yeah exactly, I mean DMC might happen, I think that's likely but it won't be the awesome PSP developed game it COULD be if thought was put into it.

I honestly think Motorstorm distinguishes itself enough with its own snowy theme to be attractive though.. and just the arcade nature of that game lends itself well to the PSP. At least until a Motorstorm 3 has "an arctic edge to it" aswell, the PSP game will have something unique to offer. I think in many cases that's enough.. there has to be some tradeoff, not just a trade-down.

I still want one...I'm hoping part of that is retailer profit margin and online retailers will be able to big discounts (Shop.to are normally good for it)

Sony must be making a decent wedge on that price though, even taking into account currency valuations & VAT. I don't see how it would be any more expensive to manufacture in terms of complexity & parts.

Exactly. Nintendo is overchargin as well for their Nintendo DSi so Sony said why not do the same with PSP

The price gap between the DSi and DS Lite is no where near as large.

MotorStorm: Arctic Edge E3 09: Trailer HD: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-09-motorstorm...

Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier E3 09: Trailer HD: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-09-jak-and/50...

I hope they'll do Jak and Daxter for PS3 too. J&D games are one of the best games on PS2 easily.

arctic edge looks kinda slow compared to the ps3 versions. but it certainly looks the part. if it offers the same 'edge of the seat' racing...then i'll definately be checking it out.

jak 4 looks really good too, although not overly keen on the focus on flight and air combat. will probably pick it up on the ps2 tho.
