Apparently Sony is planning to port and remaster PSP games for the PS3.
You will be able to use the same savefile on both systems and the games will be upscaled to HD.
According to Kotaku one of the first games to be ported is Monster Hunter Portable.

They will implent 3D support for the remastered games

Users will also be able to utilize the same save data from the original PSP game for the "PSP Remaster" version and enjoy the game on the go with the PSP system and continue the game at home on a large TV screen using PS3. Ad-hoc mode gameplay will also be supported through "adhoc party for PlayStation Portable" application on the PS3 system*2.

I guess this is good, but will they be PSN games, or retail? I'm not too sure what to think.

 

[Assax]

Probably both, but I don't think that they will release them full priced, well atleast I hope they won't.

Holy Balls they better port Peace Walker next!!!

 

[Snailface]

The PSP can play online through the PS3 kinda like a proxy. That's kinda cool.

[Clarky]

[syko5150]

I personally would like to see Sony port the Patapon trilogy, maybe on 1 disc.

 

[Assax]

I'm kinda hoping for Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep for the PS3.

I guess Sony wanted to do this as they suffered enough from those hackers.

Anyway smart move! Guess I should get myself some new games for PS3...

 

[ZAFDeltaForce]

Monster Hunter games being remastered to HD and supported with PSN online play would be kickass!

 

[Maikel Steneker]

Great, now give us Peace Walker

If these games are reasonably priced, this could be great for people who don't own a PSP.

 

[SamAsh07]

Lol a GOOD news regarding Sony.....FINALLY? Whew *exhausted*

 

[Langin]

If it comes to Europe/America and releases Dissidia 012, fuck I'm buying a PS3.

This, yes. I loved that game

Wait Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII...

OMG!

If they go this far here in the Eu I might buy the next gen console of Sony as well.

 

[boktor666]

Fuck yeah, go Sony, whoo!

 

[Jolan]

MH3P? On PS3? HD Graphics? Not in English? No Online Play?
Nope, still not buying a PS3.

 

[NiGHtS]

EPIC. Just bring this to Europe and I can enjoy KH BBS, T3B, FFIVCC,MGSW and of course FFCC all on my PS3.

Damn, thats a lot of abbreviation.

I would be happier if they did just the opposite.
