I assume you will use the joystick to move and d-pad to turn camera angle, but anyone who has played Monster Hunter Freedom on PSP knows how annoying it is. I don't think this will work out well.

Geohound6511d ago

yeah, that doesn't sound like its going to be game of the year.

frostbite066511d ago

Whats the reason for this? If there gona put it on the psp, they might as well put it on the original xbox and ps2.

PS360WII6511d ago

Doesn't seem like a good platform to put it on. Plus I don't get the title of this. Did the ds people say it's coming out for psp?

specialguest6511d ago

i have no idea how they are gonna make this game work for the PSP. Oblivion is a game with a huge free-roaming environment with so much content. also, i wonder if they are gonna pull a Killzone liberation and turn it into a third-person point of view game.

ElFozzie6511d ago

Agree re: the platform. As for the title of the story, it's a joke about how PSP is always written off by DS people on the forums etc (it's doomed etc = oblivion). Oh well :)

Krazydad6509d ago (Edited 6509d ago )

I am a huge fan of the PSP, its a great system. But putting a game like Oblivion on the PSP seems a little wrong. There is no way that they will have the ability to capture the escense of Oblivion on the PSP. Maybe just another action/adventure/platformer for the PSP, but slap the Elder Scrolls name on it. Whats next, UT2007 for the DS?

BigPimpin6511d ago

If you go to www.elderscrolls.com its for the Playstation 3 also. Now this is probably good news for sony but I wouldn't get all excited because the game is probably going to look the same on both platforms. It may have a bit of touch-ups like framerate issues stuff like that, but it will look probably the same as the 360 version. Now everyone can enjoy this game.

Review: Jeanne d'Arc - Long Awaited Strategy RPG Remains Divine | Push Square

Khayl Adam: "With the release of the game for PS5 and PS4, which features up-rendered graphics, quality-of-life features like rewind and quick save, and custom video filters, there is now no excuse not to play what has rightfully become something of a cult classic. Level-5's take on the historical Hundred Years War that raged between the kingdoms of England and France in the 15th century is a creative one, and we're glad to report that the wait has been worth it."

PlayStation Plus Just Quietly Released the Most Overlooked Tactical RPG Of All Time

Jeanne d'Arc is a brilliant hidden gem that released on the PSP in 2007, and now the tactical RPG is finally available again through PlayStation Plus.

OtterX9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

One of my favorite PSP titles of all time. This is probably my favorite Classic title to hit the PS Catalog yet. I had already bought it on Vita though as part of the PSP store, so I got it for free here to keep. That was quite generous of them, considering the HD overhaul and trophy addition. It would have been worth buying again. Every jrpg fan should try this out on PS+ catalog.

solideagle9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

can we not buy it separately? it seems its only for premium

OtterX9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

No? It shows up on mine as owned "Free" bc I bought it years ago.

If you have a Vita, I suppose you could still buy it, if it's still on the store there?

*edit - yep it's still there! $9.99 is a steal for this remaster. (of course free on PS+ catalog is amazing too! This is one I like owning though) You should be able to buy it there on that link on your PC.

Here's a reddit post about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/JR...

You can buy it separately, I had to use the PS app to find it on the store (the web store is so dysfunctional), I thought the game had skipped the aussie store, lol.

@OtterX - Yes you can buy this game without owning a Vita (like pretty much every other PS classic on PS4/PS5). I bought it yesterday on PS5. It also costed 10 USD.

BinaryMind9d ago

Yep, you get both the PS4 and PS5 versions if you buy it too.

jznrpg9d ago

Its a great one and I’m going to play it via the Portal. Summoner PS2 also got trophies which is cool

MeteorPanda9d ago

Nothing beats ff tactics: war of the lions in my heart.

gold_drake9d ago

nothin beats Shinging Force 2, i mean, no contest haha xD

shinoff21839d ago

Shining force 2 was the first tactic game I ever played. Loved that turtle.

Lionsguard9d ago

Shining Force 1 had the more memorable characters imo.

OtterX9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

Yes! Final Fantasy Tactics is still my favorite tactical jrpg of them all!

TheColbertinator8d ago

Valkyria Chronicles is my #1 always

gold_drake9d ago

its rly good, playing right now actually ha.

Einhander19729d ago (Edited 9d ago )

I am playing this too, it's my first time. I really enjoy games like this and I'm having fun.

They also added Summoner which I do know quite a bit about it's also really good.

Great month for PS+ all round.

Edit: I hope Sony sees the popularity of this style of game because i have for years (since PS3) been wanting and saying they should make spin off games of their popular series but in different genres.

I have always wanted a tactical game from games like Uncharted, TLoU or Horizon (or any franchise really, I also think they could make a cool card battler Slay the Spire type game.

And they could make games like this quick and cheap compared to what they normally make.
