Tch Digest: "Both the PlayStation and PS2 received much needed makeovers during their lifetimes, but the good old PSP has yet to receive similar treatment. We know it will happen someday – in fact Sony Computer Europe's UK Managing Director, Ray Maguire has already stated as much – Sony just hasn't finished working on it yet. Now that the pesky business of launching the PS3 is out of the way, there should be plenty of top bods with time on their hands to get it sorted. But before the brainstorming finishes, we have a wish list of the changes we'd like to see in a new version."
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.
A faster refresh screen (to get rid of the nasty ghosting you see in PSP games)
A better analog stick (at least something that feels more like the pointer nubs on laptops)
BETTER BATTERY LIFE (shrink the die size on the chips, go with a dual-core MIPS R4400 instead of two physical chips, go with an Organic Electro-Luminescent screen, or LED backlight for the LCD... SOMETHING to help with the battery life)
Faster UMD drive (UMD is now a two year old technology, there's got to be a way to make the UMD drive 2x, 4x, or even 8x faster than the one that was originally designed for the PSP. REDUCE THE LOADING TIMES...)
Honestly, anything other than those improvements would be cool, but these are the biggies I'm hoping for out of a re-design...
The only thing that I want as a PSP owner is simple:GAMES!!!!For the love of God GAMES!!!!Even some Sony president said that they are forgetting the Psp.
