VG Tribune writes: "The past few days and weeks have been abound with rumors about PSP 2 features and debates about whether Sony is even ready to release a PSP 2 or not. Now Twitter, the internet phenomena status update service, enters into the mix. Early this morning we spotted a "tweet" David Perry, founder of Shiny Entertainment and mastermind behind Earthworm Jim, had, well, "tweeted" this morning.
'I hear Sony FINALLY has the PSP 2. And thank goodness, they've removed the stupid battery-sucking UMD disc drive. I'm excited!'"
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.
Having the PSP2 fully based on DD would be great imo, it is silly having to carry out those big UMD's for a portable system.
I agree UMD sucks, but sony has to think of something because they'll lose lots of sales of they rely on DD only.
No UMD drive is the right way to go. They need a flash-based storage medium for the PSP2. I was thinking people could send their games in and get a code to download them on the PSN (i'm sure the PSP2 will be backwards compatible). It may take a while, but i think it's the best compromise and it allows Sony to then resell the PSP games to users who have yet to get a PSP2. That, or they could have a program setup with GameStop/Walmart/any big chain where we trade our games in there and get the code automatically...
hope it will be something like that. i want to know what graphic capabilities the psp2 will have
Maybe games should be permanently printed on memory stick pro duo. Thats the only way I can think of.
