Avinash from Tech4Gamers writes "If Sony ever decides to re-enter the handheld market, it should stick with the original PSP design for the best results."
The PSP was ambition personified, so much so that it’s kinda wild to look back and realise what exactly Sony cooked up in 2004.
I still play my PSP. Sadly the UMD drive has stopped working, but I modded it to still be able to play my games (and then some). Such a great little portable.
The game looks like fun and here is the announcement trailer.
Celebrate Final Fantasy IX's 25th anniversary with the latest merchandise, including figurines of Zidane and Vivi, and a range of t-shirts.
yes, the psp and ps3 ui was sooo good
I prefer PS Vita
"The PSP’s simple yet intricate layout gave it a timeless structure, offering a unique but comfortable experience."
Yeah, no. There have been huge improvements in the ergonomics of handhelds in the past couple of years. The PSP, especially if we consider the 2000, 3000, and Street PSP models, had a flat back. Saying that this console was comfortable is definitely looking at the past with rose-tinted glasses.
"The analog stick aligns perfectly with the thumb."
It doesn't even have an analog stick; it has a slider.
This is a nostalgia-filled fluff piece that says nothing. If Sony wants to release a new device, they can't make the same mistakes they did with the PSP and the PS Vita. They have to look at what works now in the segment, consider what is available to people, and create something based on that.
Leave the original PSP design for a PSP Mini or something like that.
I always liked the vita's design. Just make the analogs clickable, add the triggers, get rid of the back touch, and you're good. The psp is great as well.
There are PC/Android handhelds that have mimicked the psp and vita designs.
I'd rather have two sticks, thank you very much ^^;
