Gaming Plenty for PSP in 2009

[VmprHntrD]

You maybe surprised by some of this, others may not be, but Sony has been actively updating this forum post on their boards since the closing days of last year. There's a ton of stuff on this main post and they keep adding things.
- Assassins Creed
- Little Big Planet
- Motorstorm
- Resistance
- Patapon 2
- Phantasy Star Universe(Portable)
- Monster Hunter Freedom 3(Unite)
- Tenchu 4 (from Wii)
- Kingdom Hearts
- Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce
- Pixeljunk Monsters(PSN)
- Dirt 2
- Undead Knights
- Guilty Gear XX
- Samurai Shodown Anthology
- Air Conflicts Aces of WW2
- Rockband Unplugged

...not going to list them all but those are about 1/2 or so of the list.

Also on there was Thursdays release of NO GRAVITY for the PSP on PSN for $10. The game is outstanding, a modern version of the classic style Wing Commander with some really flashy graphics and overall solid substance all around. If you care to look for it, the makers were indy developers and had made the original no gravity as freeware and it's still on their site to promo the PSP title. I'm pretty thrilled by the list they got up, and I left out stuff that's already on the shelf from this year from hard penguins to music games and all that. I think Sony has solidified what I was speaking of before in that they're making up for slacking in 08 thinking they didn't need to whore their system to developers as they're Sony. They pushed, and now we got some great give to come.

little big planet sounds fun

 

[ojsinnerz.]

There's quite a good amount of games coming out for the psp this year. Don't forget Dissidia:Final Fantasy!

I think there was even a Hatsune Miku based music game coming out...

 

[Smartpal]

Damn, why does my PSP have to be bricked at this time T_T

 

[Orangegamer]

can't wait for LBP, Assasians Creed, Patapon 2(pata-pata-pata-PON!), Resistance(not sure yet) and Rockband (dunno how it is going to work but should be fun!)

 

[myuusmeow]

I think you forgot the link...

 

[caffeinekid]

DISGAEA 2 is what I'm waiting for! Come on!

DISGAEA 2 is what I'm waiting for! Come on!

Hell yeah! Mewants that too!

 

[Raestloz]

Assassin's Creed? When will it take place now I wonder?

 

[cracker]

LBP will sell a crapload of PSPs by itself. I can't wait to play it and hope it has most/all of the mechanics of the PS3 version intact. I _really_ hope they keep the ability to create your own levels and objects since it seems like that is even more fun than the original game itself. Going from the mass storage of a BD to a UMD and from a 9 core (technically 8 as one is a supervisor) CPU to the PSPs 333MHz single core CPU will prove challenging I'm sure. Hope it doesn't totally ruin the experience.

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite isn't Monster Hunter Freedom 3. It's the US version of Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G. I already got the Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (English patch) from the local store.

What is the link?

 

[cracker]

Not sure if this is the source he used but here's a list.

Heh, another reason for me to get a 8GB memory stick.

 

[Raika]

EDIT: Whoops, sorry for the double post.

 

[cracker]

Or you could get a PhotoFast CR-5400 with 2 8G Transcend microSDs for about the same price.

 

[DaMummy]

really? where can you purchase 2x 8gb microsdhc + a photofast cr-5400 for $18?

 

[VmprHntrD]

Yah really speak. 2 8GB memory cards the PSP can take I'd easily toss away $18 on right now. My 1GB card is down 60% due to a couple PS1 games, 4 PSN titles, and just save games.

 

[Cablephish]

Heh, another reason for me to get a 8GB memory stick.

Me already gots mine...

Maybe I'll get yet another 8 gig?

I was going by the price of a comparable speed, quality MSPD such as a Sandisk Ultra II 8G. The $18 MSPD that you are talking about is an HK generic/knockoff I assume since even the cheapest legit 8G MSPD cards are in the mid-30 range. I wouldn't trust fake media since it has been shown to cause freeze ups, not have full capacity (or allow writing to the full capacity), intermittent operation, dieing without no warning, and possibly damaging the PSP (not sure how true this is but have heard people say this has happened).

BTW I got my CR-5400 for $18 shipped off of ebay and the 2 Transcend class 6 8G microSDs for $17 each with free shipping from Newegg (which has gone down a dollar since then). So $52 total.
