Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron will be the only title we seen from the multiplayer blaster series this year and it's a PSP exclusive. First screenshots have been released by CVG.
Renegade Squadron's being developed by UK chaps Rebellion and features online multiplayer that supports up to 16 players along with new battles and missions, all of which is wrapped up in a new Star Wars yarn.
Although the new Battlefront game is exclusive to PSP, it's by no means the end of the series on PC and console. CVG reported last September that TimeSplitters dev Free Radical is working on the franchise with LucasArts - but they won't see the fruits of that till 2008 at the earliest.
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.
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.
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.
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.
They've fixed it now. You can download all of the games on Vita through the Download List.
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."
WorthPlaying sat down with Vince Kudirka the producer for Star Wars The Clone Wars - Republic Heroes. Kudirka talks about the game at lengh, including how to use Cad Bane as a playable character.
...releasing games on the PSP that show its weaknesses rather than exploiting its strengths. These screenshots look like the usual murky, low res textures you get in most PSP games. I especially love the generic oval shadows underneath each character. Really completes the feel as though I'm playing a game from 10 years ago.
I got rid of my PSP cause I was sick and tired of the low number of exclusives that were made to exploit the PSP. All you seem to get are games that are crippled versions of its bigger brother (PS2).
these screens look horrible, and i own a PSP =) hmmm... just have to see what it looks like when it comes out... when does it come out?
