No he's just saying there are already games that will take advantage of the GPS.

Well,
-The PSone controller is iconic, come now
-The PS2 controller is the same damn thing, come now
-Everyone in this topic is talking about how PSP has fewer shoulder buttons, and are 3, 5, or 6 buttons feasible? Come now.

Okay, my erratic movements from all this excitement is cooling down.
It is hitting that it seems too good to be true.

It's not a bad idea. Now if the eyetoy for the PSP is the same size as the one for the PS2 then I will be laughing with you. They need to make it small and sleek.
Imagine taking digital photos or shooting video with your PSP and attached eyetoy and saving it to your 2 gig Pro Duo stick? Nice wouldn't it?

Camera, sure... but as an EyeToy... defend that.

JonathanEx said:
wtf is there to defend?
its a freakin camera that you can interact with. deal with it. its optional, so no one's even forcing you to buy it.

For EyeToy games I mean. I don't know HOW you can justify that.

Why bother with Tomb Raider or Silent Hill when they're getting full fledged remakes? I guess the same could be said of Ridge Racer but... you'd think they'd try to launch the thing with games not already available in stores. :/
I wonder if any publishers will give up on PSP SKUs all together in favor of just rereleasing their PS1 catalogs? Square Enix?

Yes I am. A few weeks ago he came and gave a presentation at the university of Gloucestershire in England for members of the IEE (Institute of Electronic Engineers - now changed they're name to the IET). Went along with a couple of guys I work with as we all have a geeky interest in hardware (its our job!).
He talked for over an hour on PSP and PS3 from a technical standpoint. didn't go into any marketing spiel at anypoint except to ask who had a PSP (he was pretty disappointed to see about 2 out of around 30 of us). I was really only there for the PS3 stuff and it was good. Seems like it's gonna be a helluva lot more developer friendly compared to the PS2 and it also seems like more thought has gone into balancing hardware decisions. In saying this it was amazing how many times he actually slated the PS2 for not being designed particularly well or for being hard to develop for.
On the PSP side I'm pretty sure he mentioned the GPS unit as I remember thinking it was quite a cool idea, I didn't realise this hadn't been announced offically. Definitely remember the universal translator as he compared it to the tricorder in Star Trek. If I remember anything major he said that I think might be news to most then I'll say but i don't think there was. that is aside from all the detail he wnet into about PS3 hardware which I really can't remember lol.

Hmm, I wonder if we'll be able to play regionless emus like the Loco Roco demo? Vib Ribbon (with psp mp3 functionality), Rakugaki Showtime, Tobal 2....kinda drawing blanks for any more. Also, hopefully they'll allow for two players.

PSP is a cam whore's best friend.
There are quite a few titles that will not work on PSP due to dual analog stick control/R2-3 & L2-3 buttons, I doub they'll have a solution for that, at least not until they actually make a PSP with as much buttons as the Dual Shock controller...
Some titles must be nearly unplayable too I reckon, due to the screen size.
Still, nice feature, but if I can I'll always play those games on a decent tv screen.

maybe they'll make a Dual Shock add-on for the PSP that will add 2 extra shoulder buttons and a second analog stick and r3/l3 by using the USB port. and games will require it

With the camera lens facing toward you, you could use it for video chat. This could be a standalone video communications application, or implemented in a window within a game, such as some of the recent PS2 online poker games have done.
But, you should also think outside of the boundaries of what has been accomplished on existing titles. Turn the lens away from you (like you would use a traditional camera), and use it in conjunction with the environment around you. Take a look at this video clip:
http://www.gizmondoforums.com/videos/katapult_mix512K_Stream001.wmv
It shows the player using the Gizmondo's camera to play an "augmented reality" game which looks like a cross between Rampart and the old "artillery duel" games. The difference here is that the land area where you place your castle is determined by actual, physical, real-world cards and their location on real-world objects. The Eye of Judgment for PS3 also does something similar to this.
Think of it this way. With the PS2, the EyeToy is stationary, and it tracks the player's movement within a stationary environment. With the PSP, the EyeToy would be mobile, and the player would move the EyeToy around throughout the environment.
Robinspain might be translating wrong (since English isn't his first lang.), indicating that those games are among the first to be emulated like he did. I've seen another report on this that basically said these games were simply among those to be emulated.jarrod said:
This definitly makes the PSP look more attractive. However, I think there are several things Sony needs to address before we can say how great this is. First, obviously, is the controller. While the extra analog isnt that big of a concern since few games truely utitlized it, the lack of 2 shoulder buttons really hurts it. It will be interesting to see how they handle that. Also, the distribution method for the games. Particulary, I want to know how are they going to identify you. Is it going to be based on PSP identification, or will you have your own ID. If I download to a memory stick, will I be able to play only on the PSP i downloaded from, or can I play it on other PSP's. Will I be able to transfer them from one memory card to another? If I delete one of my games, do I have to pay a price to download the same game again? If so, will there be a way that I can store my purchased games on another device for archive purposes?
Theres a ton of questions in my head. I just pray Sony gets it right. I just might buy a PSP for this.
