I don't mind if it's big as long as there is a holster made for it.

Well if you've got your PSP2 out, playing it, you'd have quicker access to your phone if it was connected in some way. You could just flip over the PSP2 and read a message or if you've got a call coming in, there's no fumbling about to try and pull the phone out of your jeans or whatever. I dunno.

If it's PSP Go size then I will say it's pocketable (is that a word). Anything else and you're reaching awkward stages.
If by stay away from the PSP Go design, you mean stay away from the best designed handheld on the market, then yes.Averon said:
Seriously, it would be stupid of Sony to forego such a superior design simply because their failure of a product (whose failure's have nothing to do with its slider design) happened to also utilize it.

A kind of reversible clamshell design would be cool. So you could open it with the controls exposed below the flipped up screen. You could close it with the screen protected so it's safe in your pocket (and it can still play music in this mode). And you could also close it with the touch screen on the outside for touch games and videos.

I was hoping the analogue sticks wouldn't be at the very bottom. The PSP's stick is kind of hard to use in it's position at the bottom of the PSP. Oh well, as long as it has two sticks, I'll be happy.

Have you read about Ridge Racer 3D? They're actually making it even easier to drift in that game. Which blows my mind because I didn't think that it could possibly be any easier than it has been in recent installments. They've also "fixed" it so you car won't slow down much when you hit another car or a wall. I guess there really is no hope for them to go back to the Rage style.

The releasing the button comment is just amazing.

Mm, they've added an optional control scheme with a drift button. Didn't know about the collisions, that's not good.
Ridge Racer was never about realism but it started out life with a gearbox and clutch pedal!

I don't think that it has much to do with it being on a Nintendo platform. The PSP Ridge Racers are also insanely easy. They've been attempting to make the series easier and easier for quite a while now.
Ridge Racers 2 on PSP was a nice package, but very oddly paced. You had to complete maybe 50 boring races to even get through to the next 'difficulty'. It was like being stuck in 50cc mode in Mario Kart for hours.
I always thought it was a shame that they never really expanded on Ridge Racer Type 4, that had an awesome style and single player mode, at least the Japanese version.

Yes there was a lot of that, especially if you'd already played RR1. And I seem to remember the final races seemed impossible unless I stayed behind the opposition to the end and then boost past them.

Wow, Ridge Racer 3DS sounds like a fucking joke now, I'm glad I didn't put it high up my list. Visuals that somehow look worse than the PSP version (until you turn on 3D), dumbed down drift controls (WTF was so hard about it?), and less penalty for bumps?
The Basic Tour in the PSP version was already so easy it bored me to tears but I'm glad they started to up the challenge in the middle of Pro Tour which started the 1v1 races. It was need to drive tenaciously that made Ridge Racer so fun. Max Tour (the most difficult tour) is so fun because at the beginning, you'll think the AI has infinite nitros cheat but once you improve your driving you can get nitros just as often if not more often.
Good job Namco, you'll just turn off audiences as to how easy the darn thing will become.
I hope they don't do this for the next new Ridge Racer game, don't care what platform it appears on.

If it really have front touch screen, you can simply touch the screen. Ots not like l3 and r3 isa often used that it will block the screen oftenmrklaw said:

I think the idea is your thumbs are busy enough already. More controls for fingers are good, like on PC and arcade sticks.

Not in the home, (exept emulation).
All the tracks from those games were remade in RR2, so it shouldn't be too hard.

You use your thumb to access l3 and r3 on dual shock controller..Graphics Horse said:

Yeah, while you're using the sticks. With touch screen you'd have to take them off the sticks.
buttons on the nubs would be fine if they can do it.
Graphics Horse said:
That being said, how difficult/expensive/space wasting would analog buttons be? That´s one of the best things about Sony controllers, every controller not having analog buttons feels super cheap. The few games using it on PS2 were so much better for it.
The L2/R2+L3/R3 thing can be solved in any way Sony wants, IMO, even if it´s a bit awkward, but they really NEED to have full dualshock inputs on the PSP2 if they want to have "console experiences" doing well.
