Blablurn said:yeah, sounds pretty good @ psp mini's. i can see myself buying some.
AndyD said:Hmm, could it be game save sync if you have more than one PS3 in the house? First step towards cloud game saving?
AndyD said:What mini's are there and are they any good? Not having a PSP, I never really worried about them.
And I hope they will bring individual game save transfer later. Say play downstairs a game, move upstairs, transfer over the game save, play on that PS3, then go back down, transfer the save, play some more. As long as you are on the same LAN I think this should work eventually.

or just cloud saving which being that you would have to be network connected to do that would probably be a much better idea.AndyD said:What mini's are there and are they any good? Not having a PSP, I never really worried about them.

At least these will have tangible buttons.Stumpokapow said:If you think the iPhone games are any good, you should pick up an iPod touch and if you don't think they're any good, the ports won't be any better
JimFear said:Since these games are specially made for psp, it will not have trophies and sony said that the psp mini will not have "online" feature too

bryehn said:Yeah that's why small games like Thexder Neo, Creature Defense and Beta Bloc aren't classified as minis. I think it's ANY wireless play, ad-hoc or infrastructure.
Yeah, I think this does get the foot in the door for full PSP support - since that's got a big back catalog to deal with, I'm sure the licensing terms are a lot more complicated to work out (some people will want a separate sale if you want to play it on your PSP and your PS3, et cetera, and Sony will need to discourage them). If the PSP/PS3 minis thing works out well, it'll be another selling point that Sony has and a good proof of concept - though if it's possible, and this more or less shows that it is (and there's no reason to think it isn't), PSP backwards compatibility has plenty of financial incentives already.gofreak said:Sweetness!
Not as good as full PSP emu obviously, but I guess they were able to build PS3 playability into their licensing terms for minis more easily.
This is another maybe easier avenue for indies to get games onto PS3 too.
I hope this opens the door to full PSP support. This is a good step in the right direction.
(Also, on a side note, I think it's pretty awesome how Sony's kept bringing up new stuff right up to the very end of the year - the modnation beta, the gt5 trial demo, new - pretty substantial - firmware etc. Good going.)
edit - also note how they no longer refer to them as 'PSP' minis. Just 'minis' now. First common software platform twixt PS3 and PSP.
I NEED to know this! I want to play it on my TV!°°ToMmY°° said:isn't thexder neo a psp minis?
badcrumble said:Oh god what if War of the Lions played without slowdown on the PS3!
Whatever, it now means the PS3 will have a version of Tetris, and I love tetris!bcn-ron said:Until this, categorizing the PSP games off into Minis and real games didn't make any sense to me. They've essentially created a section to safely skip over when I check out a store update. I understand the changed QA process, but that's internal details. You don't need to present a Minis section on the store to express a development difference. They could've let the games differentiate on price points alone.
I'm still not sure I'll grab Minis. They seem so basic, especially when you want to run them on a PS3. Even the pure puzzle games on PSN tend to have a lot of bells and whistles.

I don't know about that, I think that the PS3 would be able to decompress it a whole lot faster than the PSP.Baha said:I heard that even running it off the memory stick didn't fix the slowdown. Doubt that running it off a hard drive would fix it.

gofreak said:I wonder if some devs will start targetting the minis platform (instead of just PSN) given their playability on both pieces of hardware. Like folks who might have made simple little PSN games for PS3 might retarget them to the minis profile instead.
El-Suave said:They'd miss out on the selling point of Trophy support, which I think is quite strong.
:lol :lol :lolkadotsu said:FUDGE YEAH!!!1!
I think Sony's more likely to just save that stuff for PSP2. If you can transfer saves back and forth between platforms, and one of the platforms is insecure and has CWCheat... you're better off not including trophies on EITHER platform.gofreak said:It should be easy enough to provide a library that detects what platform the software is being run on and enable or disable certain features accordingly.
I don't think that is in place yet but it should be possible.
Nuclear Muffin said:If they've gone and made a PSP emulator for PS3, why not allow people to play full PSP games on it?
They'll greatly improve the sales of their full games!
