New Star Wars Battlefront is Exclusive

Rumors surrounding the next installment of the Star Wars Battlefront series have been swirling around the Internet for months. However, it's unlikely that most net jockeys saw where the franchise was headed given that its publisher, LucasArts, announced today that its next visit to the BF universe will be a PSP exclusive slated for release this September.

Officially known as "Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron," the all-new project is in development from the UK team at Rebellion Studios (Alien vs. Predator, Judge Dredd) and will offer an all-new storyline in the single-player mode and some of the most robust PSP multiplayer options IGN has seen thus far in the PSP's library.

More information and several all new screenshots available.

Don't know if this will help the PSP's sluggish sales, but it can't hurt, especially if they get the multiplayer aspect right.

BubblesDAVERAGE6194d ago

Just because its not doing as good as the Ds dosnet mean its sluggish. by your logic all systems are doing bad.Also psp does better then any oter sstem that ever faced the DS..

cuco336194d ago

^ last i checked the psp was the only system to go up against the ds

i own a psp. it sucks. big time. if it weren't for mine being modded it would have been sold long time ago on ebay. the only thing it has working for it is the modability which sony doesn't want in the first place
u can say as bad as dark_alex may seem to sony reps, he probably is a savior in everyone else's eyes

i dont know if you own a PSP and i dont know if you have played Star Wars Battlefront 2 on it, but i have. i have also played Star Wars Battlefront 2 on the xbox. now i have had loads of fun on the xbox playing this title but when i got it for my PSP it was no where as good!

the fact the PSP doesnt have 2 analog sticks is a mayjor thing i think with this game, especially when your in a battle and need to aim higher or lower, you have to press and hold R or L and move the analog stick. where as on the xbox you can aim with one analoy stick and move with the other. havnt tried it on the PS2 as when i tried it on the xbox i was on my mates console (i owned a PS2 but didnt buy the game)

if they can do something about this issue then it could be a great game, and please no one say it isnt, because if your playing especially against mates (using WiFi AdHoc) then you cant have as intense battle, it just seems sloooower =(

gta_cb6193d ago

your right man! if the PSP couldnt be modded then it wouldnt have sold as well as it has, i have got people to buy the PSP only by telling them i could install custom fw on it. Not for playing games off the mem card but to run homebrew like PimpStreamer etc i also have custom fw 3.02 OE-A and yes i know its up to about 3.40 but i didnt want to run PS1 games on it so im happy with my games which at the moment i think only require fw 2.81

when the PSP has more games on it maybe like this one then maybe we will see greater ammounts of them sold, but until then im staying with my custom fw 3.02 OE-A (done by Dark_Alex aka "savior" lol)

products getting special start wars treatment.

cdawson6194d ago

You gotta be kidding me....does anyone actually OWN a Psp?!

I think they're just trying to fill the void while they work on Indiana jones and the force unleashed. I think we'll see a next gen BF after those come out.

Sly6194d ago (Edited 6194d ago )

alright don't care,as long as if it's good online then it'll be alright.

Star Wars Mega Bundle for PSP and PS Vita Isn't What It Seems

Although advertised on the PS Vita storefront as including six games, only one of them can be directly downloaded through the PS Vita. PSP games requiring a PS3 is not new, advertising them on PlayStation Store when on the Vita is.

I've got Star Wars battlefront elite squadron on my vita must have been when they flipped the switch and allowed all PsOne classics on vita hence why I've got metal gear special ops as well but for some reason they turned it off and certain classics and I guess psp games can't be downloaded directly bit stupid but yeah definitely just downloaded Star Wars straight to my vita.

fironic75673284d ago

How were you able to get elite squadron?

KryptoniteTail3284d ago

Crappy deal anyway. Old ass and mostly crappy games don't sell for $40. Several of those recently went for just a couple bucks apiece but in this "bundle" they're over $6. LOL nope.

hkgamer3284d ago

dont care about the price talk, but the vita and not being able to download specific titles is getting stupid, especially if you dont own a ps3. cant remember if you can use pc or not. its also stupid why you cant download stuff on ps4 for the vita.

the store should contain warnings.

anyway for the people who has purchased this game and doesnt have a ps3 to download it. then go to sony customer service and complain. they probably will credit you back the money and even give you the game(s) for free. could be different for us, but uk customer service has been pretty good to me.

Xof3284d ago

Rather than warnings, you simply should not be able to purchase content you're unable to play. IE, if you don't have a PSN account tied to a PS4, you can't buy PS4 games, etc., etc.

gokuking3283d ago

They've fixed it now. You can download all of the games on Vita through the Download List.

Just updated the article on Gamer Thoughts. I can not update the N4G post though.

Multitap | The impractical world of 4-player portables

Graham Russell: "Generally, when you’re looking to play a game with friends, it’s much easier to do it on a home console. With portables, each player usually needs a system, and most need a copy of the game (and maybe some funky cables, if you go back enough). Generally, people haven’t bothered to take advantage of the technology. Of course, if you’re a crazy person like me, that’s more of an incentive than a barrier."
