So much for SCEE trying to downplay the leak that told us about LBP and MS going PSP. Honestly surprised at Assassin's Creed and Rock Band.

Where the fuck is Namaikida?!?

This.

 

[jett]

Looks pretty damn good!

ahahaahaha you really think the psp game will look like that ?

 

[DMeisterJ]

Wow the fuck!

I'm not sure if this means a PSP2 is in-coming or not. RB would have a weird input (Touch screen maybe?), and maybe Motorstorm: AE isn't CG, but PSP2 graphics?

Who knows, can't wait to get my hands on these games though. Go SCEA! Now give the PSP Store some love.

 

[M3wThr33]

I don't think there's a market for Rock Band portable DLC outside maybe 100 people. Why would you purchase any of that for a handheld when there's a perfect existing set-up on consoles?

:lol :lol Why buy handheld games at all?

 

[Goldrusher]

Why?

Just announced yesterday via an accidental posting on HMV's site.

The box art is a VGboxarts fake though: http://www.vgboxart.com/view/3654/grand.theft.auto.san.andreas.stories/

 

[XiaNaphryz]

keep you shovelware crap away from PS brand you stupid UBI shit

Oh please, PS1 and PS2 had plenty. Just ignore it like most gamers always have.

 

[°°ToMmY°°]

@kevin: do you work for bigbig?

 

[Totobeni]

nm misread things

 

[Emotions]

This lineup is far from impressive. I could care less about those titles aside from S-E stuff and Atlus usa releases, LocoRoco 2, Patapon 2 and if Assasin's Creed turns out good. I'll be getting as well but PSP is doing terribly in the west.
I'm still keeping my PSP though just for those titles.

 

[Spiegel]

Okay, SCEA/E is doing something now. Awesome

Re. GTA SAS

There is also a ps2 version

And the date of one of the comments is 10 July, 2008 so...

[Oldschool]

I love my PSP.

 

[btrboyev]

nice bullshots of motorstorm. and that video is clearly not realtime either. But it will probably turn out well enough.

Guitar Hero on DS wants a word with you.

But I'm kind of curious how Rock Band would work. Motorstorm looks awesome.

 

[harSon]

Hopefully Level 5's handheld lineup gets localized

 

[EktorPR]

Ok, so Motorstorm on PSP confirms no "main line" Motorstorm on da' PS3 this year.

Now, WHERE THE FUCK is that downloadable content for Pacific Rift, Evolution?!

 

[Blueblur1]

:lol :lol Why buy handheld games at all?

You know what I mean. Guitar Hero obviously does very well for itself on DS and I'm not saying that Rock Band won't. I'm just criticizing the fact that they're going to include an online store and downloadable songs.

I imagine they're doing it because its possibly easy to implement the store and DLC because at least all the front-end code is being ported over. They could make some money through DLC on Unplugged but its a little bit ridiculous to expect more than a couple of people will actually purchase anything.

Your post has been addressed above.

 

[Kagari]

Where the fuck is Namaikida?!?

Yeah no kidding.

 

[Stumpokapow]

My reaction:
- LBP makes total sense. I hope it's interoperable with the PS3 version.
- Rock Band could go either way. Having the music store is a great start, but they've gotta make the game fun to play. Hope it works out.
- AssCreed could definitely go either way. Hopefully they design the game around the PSP rather than shoehorning in the original game to the PSP format. I'm wary of Ubisoft.
- I'm not really a fan of MotorStorm so this isn't for me, but it looks good and it's definitely a good choice for PS2 port.

- I sure hope Namaikada gets localized.
- I sure hope Heavy Rain comes here this year.

HOLY FUCKING CRAP !!

just took a break from studies and i log in to see this !

DAY FUCKING SAVED !!

Following up on the surprise revelation that Harmonix's multi-instrument music series Rock Band is somehow heading to the PSP, Primotech claims to have the details. And no, it won't come with an add-on a la Guitar Hero DS.

The site says it's learned that the off-shoot, dubbed Rock Band Unplugged, is currently in development at Backbone Entertainment, and will feature tracks from Blink 182, Boston, AFI, Kansas, Lit, and The Police plus DLC support when in arrives this fall.

The gameplay resembles Harmonix's PlayStation 2 games Amplitude and Frequency, with players tapping face buttons in time with an on-screen track. Once players have completed a "phase" on an instrument, that track will apparently play itself for a bit, allowing gamers to switch to the other instruments and build up their score multiplier

Uh oh @ Backbone Entertainment part. :lol

 

[AzureNightmare]

sounds like a banner year for those with CFM PSPs

 

[Oni Jazar]

I hope all of these games can be purchsed from the PSN.

Die UMD!

 

[TripOpt55]

Wow, I'm impressed. I mean I was pretty sure those LBP and MS rumors were true, but they're still really cool. Also, I think RB and AC could be cool. I remember when they were talking about getting third-parties to do original takes on franchises and they just couldn't announce, I guess these are a couple of them (I hope there's more I was hoping for an RE or DMC from Capcom).

I'd really like to know who's doing this Assassin's Creed game. I wish they'd get a small team of Ubi Montreal devs to do it. You know treat it like an important project. I know AC was flawed, but I see potential for AC2, and I'm going to hope for this one (the DS game didn't work out very well).

 

[Totobeni]

PS2 version I bet

WRC4 on PS2 was actually near that ...WRC's engine can do nice stuff for Motorstorm PS2/PSP

 

[AmericanNinja]

AWESOME!!!! The PSP just keeps getting better and better!

 

[pakkit]

PS2 version I bet

Finally, Sony has unlocked the bullshotting skills of Criterion's Black.

Anybody know who's making Assassin's Creed and developing LBP in conjunction with MM?

 

[Tideas]

sounds like a banner year for those with CFM PSPs

err..why just CFM PSP and not regular PSP? What, so that people with CFM can illegally download it and play it?

 

[kassatsu]

Seriously where is Heavy Rain?

Other than killzone those are all SCEA titles.

 

[Dante]

Love some of the concepts shown in that MS PSP trailer, hope they do a snow version next on the Ps3

 

[dallow_bg]

OMG, FREQUENCY/AMPLITUDE REBORN!!!!

Best news ever.

Once players have completed a "phase" on an instrument, that track will apparently play itself for a bit, allowing gamers to switch to the other instruments and build up their score multiplier

 

[andycapps]

Whoa, this is a megaton. I really thought they were about done with the PSP software support. LBP for PSP will definitely be mine. Motorstorm on PSP sounds great, it'd work well for 5 minute gaming sessions. Assassin's Creed for PSP sounds.. interesting. Wonder if it'd be a port or built from the ground up for the PSP.

 

[Stumpokapow]

There are some real-time screenshots actually...

yeah the psp natively runs at 1024x576

 

[CHRP718]

So awesome, plus PixelJunk Monsters

 

[Kagari]

Remember this thread? http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=342988

* LittleBigPlanet PSP has been in development for 4 months
* MotorStorm is coming to PSP
* Price cuts coming in March
* PS3 outperforming 360 in PAL territories
* PSN getting huge investment
* Uncharted 2 coming - Aztec location?
* God of War 3 looking amazing

Seems most of it has come true. Now about that rumored price cut for PS3...

 

[Tucah]

Backbone = ehh, but a spiritual sequel to Frequency and Amplitude is great.

 

[Riskbreaker23]

http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/57381

so glad to hear that they are deciding to copy the amplitude/frequency style of play. all they need to do is add a couple of bells and whistles and release it.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

So Rock Band PSP is going to be a standard button-pressing rhythm game? DJMP is the current king on the platform, it'll be interesting how it compares.

 

[Kolgar]

That Motorstorm vid isn't even PS2 footage; it's CGI all the way.

Watch it all the way through. It even contains a nod to the CGI (*not* realtime) footage we saw at the original Motorstorm's unveiling. (Where the biker nearly gets thrashed by the truck - or in this case, snowmobile.)

 

[Paznos]

Wow this is very exciting! I can't wait to see how LBP and Assassin's Creed will look on the PSP.

 

[bridegur]

Love some of the concepts shown in that MS PSP trailer, hope they do a snow version next on the Ps3

I desperately want them to make a Motorstorm Wave Race clone.

Yes, but now with DLC.

Now, WHERE THE FUCK is that downloadable content for Pacific Rift, Evolution?!

Well its Bigbig studios working on the PSP version, not Evolution. I'm sure we'll see plenty of content for PR throughout the year.


Regardless, I was wondering what we had to look forward to on PSP outside of SE titles. This is all great. I'm actually most interested in seeing how Assassin's Creed turns out.

 

[CHRP718]

the snow stuff would be even more amazing on a PS3 version
also the PlayStation® Network thing at the end of the Motorstrom: Arctic Edge trailer is slick.

 

[Elios83]

There are some real-time screenshots actually...

I've got the impression it's all from a CG target render, which is made deliberately with low detail. It's the vision they have for the platform, of course being a PSP/PS2 game they can't use state of the art CG graphics as a vision.

BTW really good news, I hope more games are coming and that the Assassin's Creed game is something more than a low budget effort to milk the series.

 

[TripOpt55]

- AssCreed could definitely go either way. Hopefully they design the game around the PSP rather than shoehorning in the original game to the PSP format. I'm wary of Ubisoft.

This is what I'm saying. I mean with KZ and even Daxter (a Jak II/3 type game would have been too button-heavy) they built game around the system. Hopefully they do this with AC.

 

[iceatcs]

yeah the psp natively runs at 1024x576

Well only PS2 PAL can do that height.

But these pictures have low-polygon model but with HQ resolution. Maybe just media pictures.
