Embed doesn't seem to work for me but if I click it, then i can watch it and it's pretty good.

Some very flawed design elements with that one. But, would be neat to see if they come up with something with some of the ideas there.

Those dual analog buttons look like they'll break off like nobody's business is the first thing I thought, though.

Ilikegames765006d ago

the screen would be made of Gorilla Glass to make it tough and almost unbreakable.

TrevorPhillips5006d ago

That's one sick ass PSP2 :)

Great job on the video

FarEastOrient5006d ago

What's with the disagrees it's a fan made trailer?

gtsentry5006d ago (Edited 5006d ago )

@FarEastOrient....lmaoooo true

sxpacks5006d ago

1) Needs smaller screen to save battery life and be portable
2) Needs Front and rear facing camera - invizimals and other playstation eye compatible games
3) Needs built in GPS - phototagging and multi player on the go
4) Needs SIM card slot - Phone calling only supported through bluetooth headset. No need to re-live the days of N-gage
5) HDMI output port - Phones can do it, This should be no different
6) Memory stick pro Slot - Would prefer an SD slot, but this is a sony product
7) Bigger buttons - Those buttons and nubs look waay too small
8) Needs same buttons as DS3 so games you buy in PS store can port to PSP 2
9) SECURITY!!! - Pirating games if fun, but that's preventing trophy support
10) Needs MSpro type cartridge instead of UMD - less battery power, quicker access

"Phone calling only supported through bluetooth headset. No need to re-live the days of N-gage"

i disagree, what if i lose my bluetooth or leave at home, im screwed, if the dell streak can pull it off so can this

micro SD card support is standard in all smartphones except iphone, the PSP2 should support it

the overall design would be to hard to hold while playing and yeah, the buttons are to small and screen to big

<RE> You have to resort to text. Built in microphone and built in speakers are soo terrible that it's not even worth using.

micro SD is not a standard. It's a IP that needs to be paid for. Plus Sony owns the rival format to SD. They will not pay their rival.

silvacrest5004d ago

i meant standard in the sense that most smartphones have them, even the latest sony smartphones do, the x1, x2, x10 and x10 mini use them

also, i would rather look silly using the the built in speakers then be forced to use bluetooth or text

choice is better even if you personally wont use it

Godmars2905006d ago

Other actual tablets sure. But its not a handheld.

TrevorPhillips5006d ago (Edited 5006d ago )

What do you mean too big, it's a perfect size. The only tiny problem I find with the PSP2 is the joysticks being too close to the dpad and buttons.

It'll obviously be better then the DS since it's newer.

Nitrowolf25006d ago (Edited 5006d ago )

way to big, Sony would never do this, PSP is ment to be able to go into your pocket i don't see why 2 would be any different, the joystick are just way to far apart, its just going to feel weird since your fingers aren't wrapping around like a controller or other handhelds, just lay flat n the back surface.
Tough screen i would like, but make the psp2 thesame or a little bigger then psp, psps was the perfect size i have to say, touch screen just give it a pen or stylus, or don't even do a touch screen. Bigger like this is not the way to go
PSP TABLET = NO

Non_sequitur5006d ago

If they want to make it big as a tablet the must offer better support than the PSP currently has.

xHarvey5006d ago

I agree, I think it's to big. The PSP2 should able to fit in my pocket. I'll feel awkward going outside with a iPad sized PSP. Good thing this is fan made.

FarEastOrient5006d ago

There is a reason why it's called a tablet, they are supposed to be big. Now that didn't stop the iPad passing the 2 million mark after launch.

Game-ur5006d ago (Edited 5006d ago )

A bigger PSP would be a better EBook reader and internet browser, which I think they are aiming for, and I personally like the bigger screen.

I think they should release 2 models, a tablet and a portable, like the Apple IPad and IPod.

Some ideas:
-The touch screen should eliminate the need of another analog
-An option to view the image on the TV, streaming or thru wire
-The start screen should resemble the Sony Dash

Pedantic915006d ago

Nothing like ive imagined, and i dont know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

BannedForNineYears5006d ago (Edited 5006d ago )

It's fan made. -_-

And it's way too big compared to the D-pad/Face buttons/Analog sticks.

I would rather have big buttons than a big screen. >_>
But again, it's fake.
So it doesn't matter :P

Pedantic915006d ago (Edited 5006d ago )

But for being fan made, it seems the maker of this ran out of imagination. It looks way too simple.

Fishy Fingers5006d ago

What gave you that idea?

I read "fan-made trailer" and figured this was official. Thanks for the heads-up.

I would kill to have a Way of the Samurai game with a huge budget and modern tech... The first game was one of my greatest joys on PS2 back in the day. And I really hope From Software will do something with Tenchu... I hate that they're just sitting on the IP like it doesn't even exist.

Relientk777d ago

Don't play with my feelings like that.

Also, new Tenchu please!

TheColbertinator7d ago

Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

ravens5210d ago

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5210d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212110d ago (Edited 10d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

MrNinosan10d ago

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens529d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens529d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani9d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum10d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman10d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim10d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

I disagree Batman

FF XVI Producer Is Interested In Working On A New Final Fantasy Tactics Game

Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki Yoshida is interested in working on a brand new Final Fantasy Tactics game.

GoodGuy0912d ago

It's insane its been this long since the last release.

CrimsonWing6912d ago

Not from you.

Knowing how you handled FF16 by trying to make it appeal to non-fans and changing the entire gameplay design I can see you changing Tactics to appeal to non-fans.

If they’re going to do this please give it to someone who wants to keep the game and genre in tact.

VersusDMC12d ago

He worked on tactics ogre reborn. Was there changes? He wouldn't make an FF tactics game an action game. It will be AA but faithful. Probably what the Diofield Chronicles team and some of the FFXVI team is probably working on already and he is just keeping a secret.

And FF hasn't had a set gameplay design since X. I disliked the MMO, 12, 13 FF's but didn't mald for years. I played other games. Stop crying as he probably won't make a single player FF again and will be busy with the next FF MMO.

EternalTitan12d ago

I can feel your hatred. Keep it up.

Ataraxias12d ago

Tactics Ogre Reborn was an overall solid product but almost eliminated the concept of builds in the game.
So we'd probably end up with a system where character jobs like Mercenary for Ramza is 80% of the character instead of being freeform.

SegaSaturn66911d ago

Tactics Ogre Reborn changed a lot of gameplay mechanics for the worse. The class system is weird and hard to lock in roles, and they shoehorned a new "random card appearing" mechanic on the maps which makes no sense. Previously you obtained those boosts from killing powerful opponents, not spawning randomly.

There's a way better way to play Tactics Ogre: the fanmade onevision mod of the psp version.

EternalTitan12d ago

16 was just a terrible mess.
Its not even a JRPG let alone a final fantasy game.
Yosi piss(who said he hates JRPGs) should not touch another Final Fantasy game ever again.

VersusDMC11d ago

87 metacritic can't be a terrible mess.
If Kingdom Hearts is a JRPG then FFXVI is a JRPG. And he said he hates the term JRPG as it carries a bad stereotype with western journalists.

So you're just incorrect on several fronts...

Asterphoenix11d ago

I wouldn't mind a new FF Tactics longs they keep the tactical elements of Tactics in it as well as a very in depth story. Which FF Tactics years ago has by far one of the best stories in the series.

Tapani11d ago

Yes, alongside with Vagrant Story. Playing FFT, then Vagrant story and finally FFXII is a bliss. Deepest lore and best stories ever made in video games.
