From Gamrfiles; "I think it's fair to say that the PSP hasn't really had an amazing past. It's not that the handheld sucks, on paper it's much more power full than Nintendo DS yet it only sells around half the units per-month. I think it's because Sony isn't really doing anything with it. The games that are considered 'killer games' only come along once in a blue moon. The last game that really made an impact on the little fella was God of War released back in March."
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.
How many more of these "PSP failing" stories do we have to endure?
I wouldn't call 30million odd units sold a "Missed Opportunity"
True, Nintendo are bossing the handheld market right now, but they've been doing that for the last 20 years, the handheld market IS Nintendo's market. They pioneered it and have continued to dominate it since then.
For Sony's first handheld console i'd say PSP has done well. Granted it doesn't have a massive selection of games but alot of Sony's attention has been getting PS3 off the ground over the last year or so, it seems PSP has been put on the backburner since then.
This is still a very popular handheld that's seen massive sales and alot of attention with releases like Monster Hunter and Crisis Core
The PSP is a great little console that is also capable of so much more then just games! I'd say it's been far from a missed opportunity!
the system is not a failure.
what do these people get from writing this crap?
you have to be a fool to be able to sit down and believe half the crap this vermin talks.
this guy is officially labeled DERF
If anything, this recent organized viral attacks on the PSP makes me think that MS is starting to lay the ground work (through the usual misinformation and FUD) for a handheld of their own in the near future.
Now how many have Sony had? There is strength in experience and while Nintendo is king, Sony is still making headway. If the PSP is anything close to failure, then I shudder to think what these folks would say about many of the gaming consoles released prior this gen...
Why are people so quick the forgive a system merely because of the brand? I have a PSP and I love it...As a personal media unit that happens to play games. I use it way more to watch movies. I've played MAYBE 4 games on it and only finished 1. I find the controls to be rather terrible on it with it's lack of second analog stick. Yes, it's sold a lot. But selling and keeping is another issue. A lot of people get rid of their PSPs merely because they don't use it. Sony NEEDS way more good games for it.
