ThermoNukePanda Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 So with the COMPLETE FAIL (read: Son, I am disappoint!) of the PSPGo, Sony is in desperate need of a new handheld to compete with Nintendo's announced/unannounced Nintendo 3DS. Publishers are reporting that Sony is going to possibly reveal their new handheld at this year's E3. Is it finally time to see something as awesome as this? I would totally spend like $250 for one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SycoYAFF Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 o hay, 2 thumbsticks, yey. If this is true, I might have to get one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThermoNukePanda Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 That mockup is so damn sexy. I've been salivating over getting my hands on something like that for almost two years now. I can only hope that it's as cool looking and sleek as the above concept.And yes, two analogs ARE A MUST!!! SONY!!! ARE YOU LISTENING!?!?!?!?

Super Kev Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I don't think dual analog sticks are a must. It would certainly be better for the unit but a lot of games are fine without it. God of War played fine .. Patapon played fine .. Jak and Daxter was alright (I only played the demo). The biggest problem I have with the PSP is not many developers seem to make games FOR the PSP .. most just tend to feel like stripped down versions of PS3 or PS2 games.

ThermoNukePanda Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 If it has a better (and larger) screen, and dual analogs, I would buy it in a heartbeat. I love my PSP, especially for portable movies and music. Gotta admit though, that concept looks great, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfernoParadox Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Meh, not only have i not been very into handheld games, but ive been even less into the PSP than the DS. It does look very pretty though, my brother will probably get one and ill just play that whenever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaNfOoT Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I hope they announce a PSP2(that is backwards compatible, of course) since im getting a lot more interested in PSP games now the in DS games, but there is no way I can justify getting a PSP when there is a big possibility that there will be a new one announced any time.

dragons claw69 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Glad to see that they finally got around to putting two analogue sticks on it. I'm guessing the UMD is now consigned to history so if its memory cards will they come pre-loaded or will it be all digital downloads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThermoNukePanda Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 What Idon't understand is why they don't use some sort of copy protected Flash media card for games. I mean those things HAVE to be cheaper to produce than the UMD disc, plus it would use less space in the device's design.Sell the games in a smaller case too. They'd save money in the long run and the device would have longer battery life due to no optical disc accessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark95 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 never owned a psp... but they do seem pretty cool.May have to consider this in the future... assuming it it all true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd save money in the long run and the device would have longer battery life due to no optical disc accessing.Its a lot easier to mod the hell out of it that way. The DS uses games that are on protected SD cards, but what people do is they get a card that just fools the DS into thinking it is a game, and they can download as many games as they want onto that. Even if you do have a UMD the PSP (at least the first one) only works if its in a case. As far as i can see the UMD is just a way to reduce modding.

PaNfOoT Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I don't think there really is a good way to prevent pirating/modding on handhelds, since you hear about the R4 all the time for the DS and I don't know a single person who has a PSP that didn't mod it.

Nomadik Kitty Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I don't know a single person who has a PSP that didn't mod it.You do now. Hai. It looks nice, but I won't be getting it. I can never figure out when I'm even supposed to play it anymore. In the car I'm busy driving, on vacation there's better things to do, they're not allowed at work, while in a doctor's waiting room I'd feel like a total geek. I just use my phone for portable entertainment now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 i havent decided if im getting one yet. they look cool but i only ever played one game on them. and unless those are screen shots from some new version of monster hunter they are showing ill pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love all the game demos and how the PSP interacts with the PS3. Of course this was pack when I had a job and money. I used both on the train all the time playing games and watching movies (40-60min commute into NYC) .. but now a days I'm usually drinking or sleeping on the train. No time for games when beer is in hand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomadik Kitty Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 unless those are screen shots from some new version of monster hunter they are showingI was thinking it was God of War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I was thinking it was God of War.im not sure what the one on the right is, but the one on the left is the tigrex from monster hunter http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Tigrex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Kev Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I've seen that pic years ago .. it's not an actual PSP just a fan mock up that surfaces every few months. Not God of War though .. nothing like that in that game .. most likely a screen grab from Monster Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
