GameAlmighty's Christiaan Allebest writes, "Last year, Sony sold 3.82 million of its little handheld wonder, the PlayStation Portable. An impressive number until you compare it to the 8.5 million units Nintendo's DS was able to move. They are numbers that should cause Sony and its investors some alarm. But what's the reason, and can the company turn the outlook around?"
Acquire, famous for games like Tenchu and Octopath Traveler, becomes KADOKAWA subsidiary. Can this mean a revival for beloved series?
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.
Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.
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?
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.
Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki Yoshida is interested in working on a brand new Final Fantasy Tactics game.
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.
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.
Nothing to see here guys. The same ole 'teh PSP is dead' articles. I hate these kind of article. Especially when it is about the PSP. How the fack does the PSP need saving with over 30 Million sold worldwide.
Ever heard of the Ngage from Nokia ? Now that could use some seroius saving.
And will continue to do so with Crisis Core and Echochrome. Alot of people will buy PSP for its media functionality as well.
The death of the PSP has been long rumored however, over the holiday season the PSP was the third best selling gaming device behind only the 360 and the Wii. There are approx. 5 million psp owners so the psp doesnt need to be saved it's holding it's own.
well i'm one of those people who want be buying one i'll wait for microsoft hand held thankyou
PSP doesn't need to be saved. It's not dying.
