Death Jr Science Fair of Doom? :lol :lol :lol

Oh and PSP gets the bomberman love too? No wonder the X360 version looks so shitty it is a PSP port. ;)

This year is all about machyoor bomberman.

That chibi kiddy shit has bitten the dust. Good riddance. Give me 80s character design in a neon cod piece anyday!

wtf is remaking all of these last gen games ON THE FUCKING PSP!?!?!

my god, the PSP continues to establish itself to me as the least interesting game system I've ever owned. AND I OWNED THE 3DO!!

I think the rule of thumb is there has to be at least one generation in between for it to be interesting (and yes, n64 remakes on the DS count in these shenanigans as well, though GBA/SNES makes it by one actual console gen even if it was 0 handheld gens)

"Interesting" was the least of the 3D0's problems...

On topic, awesome title if true, and I'm sure that the SH remake will be given the proper level of current gen gloss to make it worth playing...

I would rather have the "of Sorrow" name (if ithe game is about the 1999 events) but at least it's better than Dual Moons... :)

I wonder if the people who are cheering for SH PSP criticized the DS as a poor platform for RE... Talk about taking the atmosphere out of the game? And it's going to control like shit on the PSP, too. I'm all for remakes and ports, but this just doesn't fit the hardware, if it's true.

The Nintendo DS is equally loaded with ports from last-gen, like Mario 64 DS and...uh...

There are only 4 ports from the N64/PS1 era AFAIK. When it comes to ports anybody that says the PSP doesn't win by far is fooling them-selves. No there aren't as many PS1 ports out here in the US thanks to SCEA, but when it comes to ports PSP wins by far. Oh and yes I'm talking about games with petty little additions and name changes like Super Mario 64 DS & Need for Speed Most Wanted 5-1-0 (no not games like Ridge Racer and Mario Kart DS).

The entire purpose of the 3d0 was to provide a suitable platform for a Star Control 2 update, it achieved its mission, and can go now peacefully to sweet oblivion

Sounds like you are a bit jumping the gun here. From the sound of it might be about as much as a remake as Batman Begins is to Tim Burton's 1989 Batman. Plus come this fall...it would be 2 generations past already.

I'm already excited for Castlevania.
I like the name too... are we going to have to, uh, paint with the stylus?

The remakes aren't for you, then. Don't buy them.

There are lots of people who haven't played the original, so for them this would be a new experience.

FWIW, I have a hunch that if this were a completely new Silent Hill game exclusively for PSP, we'd see the usual suspects whining about how Konami is wasting their efforts on a portable, when instead they could be making it for home consoles.

A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...
I'm just worried they're going to remake SH to be closer to the movie. I've been saying, it's going to be another Street Fighter: The Movie: The game.

And one of the Breath of Firee games.

If SH is a remake I really don't see the point considering by the time its out the PS emulator for PSP should be available. Now maybe not all games will be available for it, in that case it's no problem..but I just can't take remakes in general, especially ones of games only a generation old.

I can't wait to see the first batch of media for Portrait of Ruin... hopefully it will look and play substantially different than the last few..
