Jim Hargreave's writes: With Sony's E3 coverage for the Sony PSP pretty much all done and dusted, I can now say that I am unsure whether to have my eye on the Playstation 3 this holiday season, or its slender slide-screen brother. I will be picking up the PSPGO on the day of release [October 1st] not just for the built in wi-fi for online play WHEREVER you may be, not just that it's a lot lighter and slimmer, or even the 16GB internal memory. It's the long line-up of amazing games for the PSP that is my incentive, and here is my extensive list of the top 14 titles I intend to get hold of:
Former Sony Interactive Entertainment executive Shuhei Yoshida has shared how his feedback played a role in the success of Gran Turismo.
To this day, anyone that plays a GT game for the first time and doesn't have experience with this kind of game will crash at the first corner, so not really sure what Shu is claiming here. I literally saw this happen a few months ago at an event where they had GT7 with VR2 up on a stage and members of the public got to try it out.
Nathan Williams from Bebington has made a dream leap from virtual tracks to real-world glory, clinching victory in his debut race in the OT Coupe with Toyo
There's still time for the Visceral Games cult classic action-adventure game Dante's Inferno to return to the limelight 15 years later.
Absolutely loved this game. Don't know why it went under the radar with so many people.
Was outshadowed by GOW3 it was a bad decision to release it at the same time because EA was counting on a push from xbox players. The game was DOA. I never played it
....that's a you problem for not playing it, but the game wasn't DOA. It was very widely revered. The story was to continue in the sequel and the EA decided to focus on other projects. That wasn't the fault of the game and/or GoW.... it was the fault of EA and not wanting to invest in the team behind it.
Do yourself a favor and play it. If you have an XBO or Series X, you can find a cheap 360 disc as it's BC. It still hols up exceptionally well still to this day.

It was suicide mission to release it the same day as gow3. A massive majority of ps3 skipped it.
Nothing to do with the game itself, it’s EA who didn’t manage and bet wrong

Lol I just read this
“it was the fault of EA and not wanting to invest in the team behind it.”
Did you know that this same studio who didn’t get investment from EA who delivered Dead Space 1-2-3 and Battlefield Hardline? 😆
Game was loaned to me and I never booted it because GoW3 was getting all of my attention at the time. After GoW3 I had no desire to even try Dante’s Inferno because I was ready to move on to a different type of game. Not saying Dante is a bad game. It may be great. It just didn’t get to it.
@caca, what I mean by team are the guys who actually worked on it. The ones who did this game are not the same ones who worked on dead space. They may all work at visceral, but they are in different teams.
So it really was about EA choosing not to continue on with Jonathan knight and his crew and instead turn their focus on the upcoming Dead Space 2 which was from a different team.
A lot of people think a developer is just that and is not made up of different teams for different projects. The sequel was to expand on the story further. They had all kinds of new ideas all story boarded and ready to go. EA just had other plans.
Not out shadowed but written off as a gow clone by multiple magazines, howrver in reality was a darker game entirely.
I think it was a couple of factors,
1. Everyone was anxiously waiting for God of War 3 to release(myself included), so we could see what the Santa Monica Studio were going to accomplish with the mighty PS3.
2. It was such a direct ripoff of the GoW formula right down to the button prompts, (such as clicking L3 & R3 to activate your ultimate) .
Now, of course lots of games borrow and evolve ideas, but this was like a carbon copy with a different skin and not quite as good or pretty.
3. It was cool to look at, it played fine, good artistic design and everything, but our standards were astronomically high after GoW 1 & 2… and it just wasn’t anything to write home about.
That being said, I have been wanting to revisit it for years.
It's probably the best GoW clone ever. Better than even 3 to some extent. The story may be loosely based on the poem but the liberties they took with the various levels of hell were pretty entertaining.
Definitely worth playing through again. It also helps that it plays even better on an XBO/ Series.
Better than 3 to NO extent dude. I get it, you liked the game, but it was objectively worse than GOW3 in every way. I was one of the few who played both at the time as I couldn't get enough of GOW formula, and i liked it as a straight-to-dvd kind of game, but it did nothing better than GOW3 my guy.
I think with a few live service features EA could revive the IP and turn it into a million dollar franchise.
Look, EA is dumb, but they can still read comments on random aggregate sites. Let's not help them with more bad ideas.
Man I love my PSP. I have the original one and have never felt like I needed to get another one because Sony did so well in the original design.
I think I am most excited about the new Metal Gear game as that is easily my favorite franchise of all time.
Oh yeah just FYI, Gamestop is having a sale this weekend 20% off any used PSP games. So go get some awesome PSP games guys!
And THAT is why I finally bought a PSP last Tuesday (after seeing the Sony conference). I've been a Playstation guy since 1997 (when my mom made the amazing mistake of getting a psx when I asked for an n64), and have had all the systems except the PSP.
Crisis Core almost got me. Same with GoW:CoO. But these were just too much--had to get me a psp. :)
i still have original PSP. can't wait buy PSP GO.

When did PSP launch, like 2004? It's crazy that Sony's taken this long to give PSP it's full support...but it's so sweet that it's finally happening.
Want me some LBP.
