Sony continues its policy of expanding target and keeping alive its best-selling console in announcing the adjustments on his old (but valiant) console salon two excellent catalog titles PSP. As usual, and in order not angry buyers of games on the portable, Sony expects a few months before formalize these ports. After Silent Hill Origins and Ratchet & Clank: Size Ca Account, it is the turn of Daxter and WipEout Pulse of being adapted. The first would see the day on July 25 next year, while the racing game that plays with the seriousness happen on September 3 this year. As usual, difficult to choose between the dismay of seeing headlines brought no improvement graphs or adding content to a fairly high price and happiness to discover all games that remain outstanding for that matter. It's up to you to decide.

So, July for Daxter, September for Pulse.

Wipeout Pulse is awesome and, if, it is a good port and decent price, i'd urge anyone to go and buy it. Daxter.....not so much..

This just doesn't help the PSP at all.

Well, Daxter's already sold like 2 million, hasn't it? I doubt it helps the PSP a substantial amount my this point anyway.

But still, yeah... poor PSP. :( You deserve so much more.

Is that before or after Chains of Olympus? Hopefully they'll contact Square and decide on a good release schedule. We wouldn't want Crisis Core and Kingdom Hearts coming out the same time as the Sony games, would we?

Just a matter of time until God Of War COO is announced for PS2 as well. While this sucks for PSP owners looking for true exclusives, it's actually very smart business sense for Sony in that they get to keep supporting the PS2 without having to pay for any real new content.

It's just that even Sony treats their own handhled like it's a second or third tier platform by always eventually releasing the biggest 1st/2nd party PSP games on the PS2.

Uhh.. this kinda pisses me off. People are going to stop buying PSP games just "so they can pick it up on PS2 later". Granted, I like that more people are going to get to play the games, and the devs are going to be getting more money for two amazing games. And it does make sense with the PS2's install base out of the wazoo.

It just kinda razzles me, because I love my PSP, and I want people to support it!

PSP is just a lost cause in term of software sales ( blame fucking piracy , CFW , Canada , oil ..ect ) and PS2 software still sells like a new system , Sorry for the PSP , i love the system but it was doomed since the hacked firmware , sony just did the right thing here , at least give PS2 owners the chance to actually buy these great games .

and for the poor PSP , they should just kill the thing , focus on PS3 and PS2 , or if they want a new PSP2 but they should make it Hacker-Proof like the PS3 or maybe digital downloads only system.


now plz sony give PS2 owners GOWCOO , and Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow .

Why aren't they selling upscaled PSP games on the PSN? (for play on the PS3)

I'd love to buy the best the PSP has to offer.

Should enable PSP games on PS3 via the store now. Since nobody buys the games, not like anyone will stop buying the hardware!

It's weak that they're doing this, but I think this is more a case of PS2 coming to a dead stop (with PS3 not picking up the slack) and Sony worrying about that rather than PSP not living up to its potential. All of these games have sold well, and Sony has nothing else to release on PS2, so this is their compromise.

It's strange that this is having an effect on the PSP's reputation, who the hell is waiting a year for the pathetic PS2 port when you can have a portable version at a reasonable price and in a take-it-to-go format? The only PSP-to-PS2 port that's been worth a damn has been the Twisted Metal game, and that, I didn't mind the double-dip since it came out as s budget game and had all the content, so to me the TH:Head On port was just padding for the fan disc content. (Actually, I wish they had ported up Small Brawl instead of the PSP game since I've always wanted to play that at a reasonable framerate, but that would totally clash with TM:Black 2.)

you can't put a price on sparks
the games are so old that it would only benefit them to port to PS2. They may as well. It'll still be cheaper to get on PSP since those games will be 20 dollars while being 40 on a console

The thing is, if they were to do that they would have to exclude 40GB owners from purchasing them unless they make a special PSP emulator for PS3.

I'd think so and they would add some new content and never release it outside japan

well the ps2 games are winding down.....save for the movie cash ins or the sports/singing games, there really isnt much else on ps2 left (oops forgot Persona4, but whatever). the seems like a quick cash-in for sony i suppose. 100million ps2 userbase. simple economics

or lacked online play (twisted metal head on ps2 had none)

or plain sucked because the games were designed for handheld quick sessions (liberty city stories anyone?)

As much as I hate the process, it comes down to the fact that Pulse sold 10k and that was it. Anyone who was going to buy the game on PSP or buy a PSP for the game already did that and they can either let the game just die or maybe try to sell it to a new audience.

Since I think Pulse is a REALLY GOOD game, I'm all for more than 10k in the world playing it and having fun with it.

I'd say there are more than 10K people who have played the game due to piracy.

Wait, why does it affect only 40 gb owners? There's no PSP emulator for the 60 or 20 gb systems.

Didn't RAD say something like "we don't want our games ported to other systems" in reference to GoW:CoO possibly being ported to the PS2?

I think Sony disagrees with you, RAD. :lol
