Sony Pulls Dutch PSP Ad - Page 2

bobcat · 07-14-2006, 11:09 AM

Am I the only one who thought there would be stellar games for the PSP? Like Rpg's, such as FF, DragonQuest, Xenogears?

Or games like Castlevania, a stellar MGS game, Resident Evil?

Can you honestly say that you are satisfied with the PSP games that are available?

That's the main reason why I bought the PSP. I assumed there would be these kinda games.

Any recommendations would be good. Just no racing/sport games. Rpg's/Platform/Strategy/Action/Adventure is what I'm into.

Yes I like Nintendo games, but I like other games too. I own a Ps2 and Xbox. The Ps2 is one of my fave consoles.....the PSP just doesn't do it for me with it's library of games.

My friend Dan from the other forum I post at has a review for it since he's been on a Europe tour for the last few weeks.

It looks awesome, and it's not racist at all. It got an A+ on his review...and he's not some IGN reviewer, he's a gamer. So I suspect it is decent, maybe not warranting the purchase of a PSP, but certainly something to check out if you have one.

couldn't find the review. Nonetheless it looks interesting. I'm just eagerly awaiting some great games on this system. Every time I go EB, i'm utterly disappointed with the games it has on show.

Would love a stellar RPG. I'd be playing it on the train non stop.

download the LocoRoco demo...you can find it online, with instructions on how to install it properly or whatever. i havent done it since i dont own a PSP, but i hear it only takes a couple minutes.

and to answer your previous question...no, I don't think the PSP's library of games is very good. I don't think the DS lineup is very good either. I have very little desire to buy either system at this point...I was addicted to WipeOut Pure and Hot Shots Golf when I played them, but that is FAR from enough to warrant spending a couple hundred dollars.

I bought a DS that I'm giving to my brother, for free, as he wants one. I'm not impressed with either systems overall line-up either. However, as I might have said before, you get the benefit of emulation with the PSP. Portable SNES almost justifies the cost, to me. The real deal breaker is the craptacular battery life. Locoroco looks like one of those fun, quirky titles that Nintendo puts out on occasion…when they aren't whoring out their franchises. Maybe there are lots off good titles out…I think the GBA will be the apex of handheld gaming. That thing was fly. I don’t see why there has to be this huge push to put 3D games on handhelds, although that isn’t necessarily the reason for the lackluster title selection. I might repurchase myself a DS in a few years, when Zelda is on it and maybe a few other titles. Otherwise, I’ll just wait until the GBA2 comes out. The DS has done a lot…I figured Nintendo would have unveiled the GBA2 by now.

There won't be a GBA2. The DS is far too successful. They were only considering that when they were unsure how it would be received. Sadly it seems the Game Boy brand is dead.

KillerGremlin · 07-16-2006, 02:46 AM

They're pussies. They should of called it, Game Boy: Touch or something, haha.

On comparison, the DS titles have scored better than the PSP's. DS I am happy with so far.

The thing that annoys me is that PSP has such great visuals/sound. It has potential to have some top quality games.

I saw the video, it looks very very kiddy, but that's never stopped me b4

It actually looks fun
