Ubisoft urges Sony to act on 'directionless' PSP

I'm talking about Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Final Fantasy Dissidia, and mark my words Kingdom Hearts is going to be bigger than Crisis Core ^^
And like I said Tom Clancy's End War is also coming to the PSP so Ubi isn't completely abondoning the psp

Eh... I doubt it. It's sorta lacking the kid centric base that really drove sales on PS2 (and GBA actually). In western markets, the 358/2d might even outsell BBS. :/Kingsora said:
Still, Square Enix has less PSP games this year than last... not a good sign.
Maybe it's canceled? Seems weird that a Ubi rep would say they've got nothing in the works if they do... have we seen the PSP version yet actually?Kingsora said:

I guess because they simply don't put out the games I want to buy. Out of that list, I only have Syphon Filter (which I really enjoyed, despite not being in a genre I don't like that much).
I want Gran Turismo. I want some RPGs - I'd even settle for another Untold Legends game. I'd like portable versions of some of their shiny new PS3 ip, particularly Uncharted. And I'd like an ungimped baseball game.
Most of the new stuff they've done are quirky games like Patapon/LocoRoco which are a lot more fun in concept than actually playing.
And bear in mind, out of that list of IP, the only ones currently scheduled for release is another Ratchet game (and echochrome). Socom and Syphon Filter seem to have jumped to the PS3. Sony's big fall PSP release seems to be "Buzz! Master Quiz"

I wish Sony would make their own 2.5D metroidvania, since IGA refuses, or a Zelda-a-like... I'd really love one or both of those for my PSP right about now. Or another platformer, like sly, or just an all new action game IP.

listen to the mad man
I love my PSP, but since the last big rush of software (Downstream Panic, Patapon, God of War, Crisis Core) there hasn't been anything that's really motivated me.
The titles for the rest of the year so far are:
- Secret Agent Clank; not personally interested.
- Space Invaders Extreme; getting it on the DS.
- B-Boy; I'm not interested and I don't think many others are.
- N+; getting it on XBLA.
- Buzz PSP; would definitely consider it.
And that's pretty much it except for the multi-multi-multiplat stuff. Hell, there's not even a whole lot of that coming out.
After Buzz, I think the only other games I'm aware of that are not yet released are Dissidia and Kingdom Hearts. Presumably we'll get MHP2g... Still, slim pickins.
Normally I wouldn't mind the lull, but I've been in a portable mood lately and I'm out of PSX games to play on my PSP.

Except there is one big difference, the Dreamcast didn't sell 30 million consoles (or whatever the hell the PSP is at right now).

Not really. At this point in time most psp titles can be found for $20 or less. Even new releases drop in price very quickly.

I am convinced if the Dreamcast remained available for longer at a decent price it would have sold a lot more, even just as the pirate's console of choice for a couple of years. It was discontinued just as piracy started to break out to the mainstream on it, wheras PSP has now had two years of being totally cracked open.Hcoregamer00 said:
Still, if Sony had gone with a legit 'iTunes of games' system a year or so ago, I think the PSP may have had another chance, as it's IMO the best positioned console for downloadable games as DL type games are suited to portables, as it has the inherent capability. Too late now though, and I bet Nintendo beats them to the DLC handheld bandwagon with another DS model.

If the DC was around, it may have become the second place console and took the crown from the other two consoles. The problem is that by doing that, you are placing something that could have happened in theory by placing it in a bubble without considering many outside factors that would have changed the dynamics of the console race.
What we do have in the PSP, and the Dreamcast and the PSP are two completely different consoles. There are some similarities, but ultimately they both had to deal with outside factors that changed the ultimate destiny of the console. In layman's terms, the PSP is a failure for reasons that don't apply to the DC and vice versa. Sure from the outside there are some similarities, but there are more differences between them.

Yes it isx3sphere said:
Set on the battlefields of World War III, Tom Clancy's EndWar is a next-gen console exclusive war strategy game that will push the envelope of technology, showcasing AI, graphics, physics and animations that were not possible before. At GDC '08, creative director Michael Deplater revealed that EndWar is also coming to NDS and PSP

I witness the rumor happened. It was actually some fanboy dreams-turned-rumor thingy. You know, the internet.
because Capcom is pretty lazy and ass in even updating their sites (they even copy-paste the RE timeline from Gamepro on their RE official site), the DMC PSP has been on Capcom's 'to-be-release' list for years, remaining unchanged. Even if they have quietly canned DMC PSP, its still normal if they didn't take down the title from there.

Sorry to bump the topic, but this is probably the best place for this:
Ubisoft - "We support the PSP with innovative game experiences and plan to publish around 12 PSP games this fiscal year, including titles for some of our top-selling brands."
http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/ubisoft-we-still-support-the-psp
Maybe some unique well-design games? Nah. Babiez and Puppiez and Girraffiez PSP? More likely.

Ubi Soft hasn't been so hot this generation I'll agree (and I think Assassings Creed is awful) but let's not poop on them THIS fast.
Prince of Persia next-gen looks downright friggin' awesome, and I'm eagerly anticipating the sequel to BG&E, which is surely to bomb.
If the rumor is true about another MGS on PSP, along with the first one (which was good right?) I might just have to sink and get one.

The PSP is a fantastic multimedia machine (with the use of third party software) with a few very, very good games. None of these very, very good games are by Ubisoft, btw.
I think that Sony should keep the PSP2 focus pretty much the same-"higher" tech multimedia and but more downloadable content (microtransactions for the profit!) with a weak focus on packaged games. Nintendo still owns the handheld gaming market and will for longer than you and I will be around for.

Interesting after all these years Ubi suddenly discovers the PSP. If the PSP games are not from Imagine or Z series or any other Ubi-Nintendo like quality games then I really think that Ubi is trying force the so called casual image on the Wii/DS while Nintendo are trying spread the message of gaming for everybody. This is just pure speculation though.

Ya... They're $40 crappily made games aren't the reason I'm not buying them... I was so pumped for the first vegas on psp and then I played it
