PSP classics

 

[Matsuchezz]

Awesome! I never owned a psp or psvita. I will pay more if I get to play those games. I mean additional money besides my ps plus essential.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

PS Plus classics i guess.
I'm curious to see how the service evolves during this first year tbh.

Staring with the best one, get 3 going and thats good stuff

Insomniac is really slacking, where is my Resistance Complete Collection for PS5?

Honestly, I'd rather Bluepoint remake them. It would be handy if them, the masters of remaking things, took that job with them.

I don't want remakes, just remasters. I don't want any remake of PS3 games.

 

[akaFullmetal]

They need to bring back all the resistance games and then have a online and coop ala halo collection.

 

[SilentUser]

Nice, one of my favorite PSP titles. Had tons of fun playing it! But would rather buy a full Resistance collection with enhancements.

 

[Lognor]

I liked the resistance games. I'd guess it's a remaster. Inexpensive release to gauge interest in the series. Would be cool to get a brand new game though

 

[adamsapple]

This is probably not the Resistance games most fans want remastered lol.

Where's the trilogy at ???

 

[ManaByte]

Yeah do those normally get new ratings?

Was this released in Korea before?

 

[Agent X]

This was quite a good game on PSP. It was originally developed by Bend Studio. I'm curious to see how this (and other PSP games) are improved in their PS4/PS5 renditions.

 

[dotnotbot]

This is probably not the Resistance games most fans want remastered lol.

Those games feel outdated now and the best part of them were co-op modes.

Give us Resistance or Killzone remakes/reboots with full-fat multiplayer and co-op modes, that would be cool.

In their defense they're making Marvel games, no?

Wolverine and Spider-Man 2.

 

[wvnative]

Glad to see it appears the PS1 and PSP selection will greatly expand, but sad to see there's no sign of new PS2 games

 

[Thief1987]

It's not remasters, definitely just psp classic re-release.

 

[Smoke6]

Wtf is this dude? I can’t…

Anyways please be a remaster and bring the other games with it too like killzone 2 pre-patch and resistance 2

 

[DevilHunterX0]

A new Sequel, maybe?

 

[Smoke6]

Patience dude! I’m sure they will come, we’ve been waiting years for something like this and I’m sure we can wait a little while longer as they straighten things out before US launch

 

[Kacho]

No interest in this one but I’d love to replay Resistance 1 again. Easily my favorite Insomniac title. Never got around to playing Resistance 3 so that’s another I’d love to play. Make this happen Sony BC team.

 

[Neofire]

Haven't played this resistance game

 

[skit_data]

Oh yeah, South Korea, bringer of good news!

 

[The Cockatrice]

Unlikely remaster/remake, they already have a lot on their plates rn.

It's the Resistance game that Bend Studio made for PSP:

Pretty likely they'll add it in the PS4/PS5 store to allow people buy it, or to include it on PS+ Premium.

Resistance 2 was a massive disappointment to me but it’s been so long I can’t remember why. All I remember is being crushed and going back to Fallout 3.

Edit: my disappointment with Resistance 2 was why I never bothered with 3. Something I regret in hindsight since I hear 3 is pretty good.

 

[Sub_Level]

You were probably disappointed with Resistance 2 because the game was brown as shit with poor looking environments, it had no memorable new enemies (they even took out the spooky Gray Jacks from Resistance 1), the difficulty balance was all over the place with random spikes, and the characters were all obnoxious dudebros.

Great co-op mode though.

 

[wvnative]

I know. Just the fact they didn't add any new ones so far though and the fact they didn't update the existing PS2 emulator has left me cynical.

Hope to be wrong though.

 

[yurinka]

Bend did an awesome job bringing Syphon Filter and Resistance to PSP, same way they did with Uncharted on Vita. Back then they felt so AAA considering the constrains of these devices.

 

[ParaSeoul]

Shows what you know. Retribution was legit.

 

[Krappadizzle]

I really hope there's another Resistance game in the making. It was such an underappreciated franchise. Easily one of the better "Alternate History" franchises too. Didn't get nearly the love it deserved.

 

[Esca]

Id love a resistance collection. I'm ok with just a remaster as long as online works. I enjoyed these games a lot

 

[adamsapple]

Shows what you know. Retribution was legit.

Yeah I've played it on the PSP ages ago. But I'd rather they had released a Resistance trilogy remaster by now already.

 

[Kadve]

Wonder if they are gonna do something about the controls? Retribution was built around an auto aim system using the dpad for precision aiming.

 

[mejin]

Need Dissidia and Jeanne D'Arc from PSP too.

 

[Rien]

What the hell?

 

[Lone Wolf]

You were probably disappointed with Resistance 2 because the game was brown as shit with poor looking environments, it had no memorable new enemies (they even took out the spooky Gray Jacks from Resistance 1), the difficulty balance was all over the place with random spikes, and the characters were all obnoxious dudebros.

Great co-op mode though.

Also Resistance 2 got rid of the weapon wheel and you were limited to only 2 weapons at a time.

 

[Smoke6]

Man just come out with a new resistance please like a modern story

 

[CamHostage]

Well, for one thing, it's a ROM release, not a remake. Probably you're aware, but if not, Sony has recently been addressing the backwards-compatibility issue (although not really through backwards-compatibility, Sony is instead introducing new PS Classics games to buy PS1,2& PSP games digitally,) and so this Resistance Retribution release is in all likelihood part of that.

Second, I don't think Resistance Retribution ever had an official "dual analog patch", but I do believe that PS Vita had a feature with backwards-compatible PSP games that the right analog stick could be mapped to work for controller button actions, and Resistance Retribution on PSP does work that way there. So I assume it'd be the same here.



Third, I don't know if I'd call it "auto-aim"... the game had a lock-on system, as it was built on the Syphon Filter framework. Yes, that made aiming a lot easier (and then you could dial it in for precision) but if I remember right you still had to manage motion and trajectory for accuracy of shots, plus it had stop-and-pop mechanics. So less "auto-aim", more auto-directionality. Maybe that's the same thing in some eyes, I guess I'm just specific about it because I actually always liked the Syphon Filter shooting systems. (The "skill-based accuracy" of gunplay in modern games is really inauthentic IMO, with all the bunnyhopping and aim-down-sights-in-a-sprint nonsense. Even though players feel totally in control on the battlefield with their analog aiming systems I feel in some ways SF's ruleset for shooting percentages was more how combat games should be.) Those unusual types of mechanics thrived on PSP for a while since the limited controller gave no option but to try new things, and I feel like modern games are missing out because they all feel there's a "right way" to make a battle game. I wish Syphon Filter aiming was still a thing in some games, even if it could be called "auto-aiming"...

 

[gatti-man]

Resistance 1 is a fucking masterpiece of single player fps. Wish we’d get another one like jt

 

[Editaur]

Good way to test the waters for a new resistance game.

Bend Studio did some great work on PSP.
