Unless public reaction to it is similar to the PSPgo its doing to sell just as well as all of the other versions of the DS

GWAVE5206d ago

Yup. PSP didn't beat the DS, but I'm not too worried about that. It sold nearly 60 million units, which is more than enough. I just want better software support from Sony and 3rd party devs for the PSP2.

dirigiblebill5206d ago

Above all else, I'd like a better D-pad :s The PSP has awesome fighting games, but they're all borderline unplayable at higher levels.

-Alpha5206d ago

Yeah, the PSP has sold really well. It's sure as hell not beating the DS, but it's doing well on its own.

Sony has a problem IMO though:

-UMDs didn't work
-Digital Distribution allows for people to steal games for free

I think this is the more important issue for Sony instead of "beating" DS.

sikbeta5206d ago

The last ad campaign is what I'm saying it's going to be the Last attempt to Push PSP Sales, it's a matter of time for the PSP2 to come out, not this year, but sure next year....

"Why PSP could still beat 3DS"

NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

3DS is going to sell like crack.

DatNJDom815206d ago

3DS is on fire right now. It doesn't mean however that the PSP is going to die out either. PSP has a lot of great games to offer that are exlusive to it as well as other great features. Both systems will be just fine.

My next article why the Gamecube could still beat the Ps3.

Can't wait for the PSP 2.

Deathracer5206d ago

To many Pokemon's and Marios for PSP to beat the 3DS, just isn't going to happen.

gtsentry5206d ago

the psp needs youtube service,watch vids,better internet,longer battery life den itll be the best

FinalomegaS5205d ago

the best Iphone killer maybe but still not handheld gaming device. That will go to Nintendo "again"

Arnon5206d ago

There were over 100 people lined up yester here in TX at the Apple Store, in 104 degree weather. I honestly have no doubt that the iPhone/iPad will outsell the PSP.

Hopefully not a lot of remasters

Eonjay1d 6h ago

Agreed, but if I could pick one game to remaster first it would be Killzone 2. If you had to pick one which would it be?

Mr_cheese1d 6h ago

I know it's not the same but I'd love a reboot of resistance or warhawk

u-bEttA-rUn1d 6h ago

If they announce Kill Zone 2 remake or resistance 2 that multiplayer would be crazy. But Warhawk I would cry like a 2 year old 😂😂😂 give me bloody roar

ravens521d 6h ago

God of War 1-3, Ascension, Ghost of Sparta and Chains of Olympus all in One.

RaiderNation1d 6h ago

I love Killzone, but I would prefer a complete reboot of the franchise, using the newest version of the Decima engine, rather than simply a remaster of part 2.

SimpleDad1d 5h ago

Sony will not do Killzone 2 or any Killzone because they don't have plans for it in the future... No TV shows, no sequel, no Lego game, no multiplayer...

This is dead for Herman... Only Aloy.
And that's sad.

Zero hype for tomorrow.

Kingrizzy901d 4h ago

legacy of kane, resistance, or just something totally new that hasnt been already done

Cacabunga1d 4h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

Hopefully zero gaas, will show that they’re starting to reason!!!
And yeah the remaster trend must also stop.
PS5 exclusives or nothing go home

A new Killzone, Uncharted, Tsushima, inFamous, Resistance, Wolverine or something original single player.

CobraKai1d 3h ago

Killzone 1. In think that needs a retelling

Profchaos1d 2h ago

I either want something from the infamous franchise or the cheeky answer is being lemmings back as that's now Sony

DarXyde22h ago

Killzone 2 I think falls into remake territory.

I'll take a Warhawk remake or even a remaster but that's it, really.

Any remasters for a last generation game on a backwards compatible console is just insulting.

fr0sty16h ago

If they do any online only live service stuff, give us MAG or Warhawk, games that actually perfected that formula.

Eonjay8h ago

@Kingrizzy90

Wow. And it looks like you are the winner. Completely was not expecting that.

only remasters, even remasters of games that aren't even out yet

DodoDojo1d 6h ago (Edited 1d 6h ago )

Wrong, there will also be a 2 minute snippet of Lego Horizon.

bloop1d 3h ago

If they don't show something from a couple of their big studios after the absolute disaster they've had with Concord then I'll lose all hope. This generation has been a complete letdown so far and there's very little to look forward to at the moment.

RaidenBlack1d 6h ago

Pretty sure : RE9, Days Gone Remaster, HZD Remaster, 1 last SH2 trailer, Wolverine trailer, Until Dawn trailer
Maybe(s) : GoT 2 announcement, DS2 (but already happening@ TGS), Pragmata, TLOU2 or SpiderMan 2 PC announcement,
Wishlist : Santa Monica & Naughty Dog's new project tease, Marathon gameplay trailer
Don't Want : Any AC Shadows trailer, Any more remasters other than the ones leaked

Eonjay1d 6h ago

You really think that other remaster is Days Gone? And my God what happened to Pragmata?!?

seanpitt231d 6h ago

It’s 30 minutes, I think you’re being optimistic there, don’t have high expectations, I know mine are the lowest they have ever been since what i have witnessed these past 4 years!

crazyCoconuts1d 6h ago

Agreed w/ Sean. Keep expectations low.

Juiceup20h ago

jfc what is this trash lineup Sony please

Rainbowcookie7h ago

Injustice 3 I'm calling it 😃

Christopher1d 6h ago

Only 5 remasters. They had to cut back to squeeze in 1 new announcement. They will have another SoP next month to cover the other 12 remasters.

-Foxtrot1d 5h ago

*monkey paw curls*

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered

Gravity Rush 1 & 2 Remastered

Until Dawn Remastered

DarXyde21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

In the case of Gravity Rush, a remaster of a remaster that plays on PS5 now would be bizarre. Then again, so does Horizon.

This only makes sense if it means a PC release, but they still closed the studio and releasing this would be very poor taste.

potatoseal1d 5h ago

I'm presonally looking forward to a Days Gone one. Would love any excuse to play that game again. I loved it

darthv721d ago

Why wait for an excuse... just go play it now.

CobraKai1d 3h ago

Im thinking showcasing Pro versions of existing games.

neutralgamer19921d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

They could do a lot right by simply announcing a blood-borne remastered so many people have been waiting for it and they should not only bring it to PlayStation 5 but also PC

If they are all intent on doing a lot of remasters, how about doing some of the remasters from the games during the PlayStation 2 and three generation instead of PlayStation 4 games?

Can we get infamous collection? Can we please get Socom from the PlayStation 2 generation? Uncharted trilogy God of war trilogy twisted metal collection, kill zone trilogy, resistance trilogy some of these games they can simply just unlock online multiplayer. They’re only one need to do a lot of work and people would enjoy them

But instead, let’s just remastered the last of us horizon zero down the God of war 2018 this PlayStation Sony executive bosses are some of the most idiotic in the past 10 years

PlayStation has such a long history. They can simply do a lot of fun service and get so much positive PR but they keep making the same mistake again and again and again.

Rimeskeem1d ago

I would honestly prefer remasters/remakes/reboots of games than GaaS they have tried to push.

TheEroica23h ago

Release the remastered games on the sheep!

JackBNimble20h ago

Hahaha... I was going to make the same joke.
That's all they have

RaidenBlack11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Lol, but like most I was expecting a 'Playstation showcase' but looking at how brief the Pro reveal was ... I am guessing these short State of Plays á la N.Direct style is how Sony is going to continue.
The next big PS showcase is gonna be the PS6 event. Till then all will be SoPs.

Hopefully there's good games, but we'll see. Going in with low hype, and I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

Anniversary: Nintendo Is 135 Years Old Today

Filing Lawsuit for Infringement of Patent Rights against Pocketpair, Inc.

Nintendo and Pokemon Company have filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair Inc., the creators of Palworld, in Tokyo, Japan.

Number1TailzFan5d ago

Ye, Custom Robo Arena was a lot better than Pokemon anyways, now that's a game.

Eonjay5d ago

Interestingly this comes like a day after they announced they would be at the Tokyo Games Show.

Vits5d ago

We should all really hope so. Otherwise, this could lead to many issues, as they hold patents on numerous game mechanics. And when I say numerous, I truly mean it. Take this one, for example:

"Abstract: In an example of a game program, a ground boarding target object or an air boarding target object is selected by a selection operation, and a player character is caused to board the selected boarding target object. If the player character aboard the air boarding target object moves toward the ground, the player character is automatically changed to the state where the player character is aboard the ground boarding target object, and brought into the state where the player character can move on the ground."

In plain English, do you guys remember that super amazing mechanic where you surf on the water with a Pokémon, and then when you hit land, it changes to you walking? Yeah, they patented that.

porkChop5d ago

A patent lawsuit? What Pokémon-related patent could Palworld even be infringing that other similar games haven't? This makes no sense. Feels like Nintendo just trying to throw its weight around to bully competitors, just like they do with emulators even though they're legal.

Kaii5d ago

They can't Innovate their own IP, but when others are breaking the ceiling, they run to the courts, gtfo Nintendo/Gamefreak.

Companies' gatekeeping mechanics behind the patent system to stifle innovation, consumers will always pick the better product, it's not the consumer's fault that Gamefreak has sat on their lazy assess for years.

Kornholic5d ago

"Consumers will always pick the better product"

Since when?

swedishMeatwad5d ago

You can't argue with _subjective_ taste. Some people are going to like games you find crappy. I'm happy not everyone has the same taste.

Kornholic4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

@swedishMeatwad

PS5 Pro is obviously objectively the better product when compared to the base PS5, but the majority of consumers interested in a PS5 will not be picking Pro over base PS5.

There are countless examples like this out there.

The_Blue5d ago

Rather you like it or not COD has many accessible options and customization that allows for better experience than most other FPS.

Knightofelemia5d ago

The Palworld has been out since January of 2024 and now Nintendo finally decides to do something. I fail to see how Palworld is like Pokemon besides evolving monsters. There are other games out there as well where you can capture and level up monsters. Tales of Symphonia 2 does that capture monsters and have them fight with you and they evolve when levelling up. The two games might share some similarities but what game doesn't borrow from another game. I could understand if Palworld was just a straight on copy clone of Pokemon but it's not. Nintendo is starting to become a pain in the ass. Going full gung ho with rom sites that I can see, purposely taking down pictures from a strategy guide for Mario 64 the strategy guide never came to North America and Nintendo had the pictures taken down. Where does it every stop with Nintendo?

babadivad5d ago

Monsters don't evolve in Palworld

Software_Lover5d ago

It's because Palworld became a worldwide viral success. Nintendo can't fathom someone else being that popular when it comes to a small monster catching game.

VersusDMC5d ago

Nintendo is only acting now because they just finished a lawsuit which they won.

https://www.nintendolife.co...

Atlus should get on this and sue Nintendo as SMT came out before Pokemon. If Nintendo is going to play this game.

isarai5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

This feels like a scare tactic more than anything else. There's nothing here dozens of other games haven't already done, they're just mad this game showed people how much the pokemon series has been slackin and are desperately trying to make an example out of them.

How's about instead of spending all that money on court fees and lawyers you invest it into making pokémon better?

Profchaos5d ago

I think if it was a scare tactic it would have happened when the game came out I have a feeling they've been building a case for a while

isarai5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

It did happen even before the game came out, they tried several tomes before and nothing came of it

Profchaos5d ago

I was pretty sure the only statement they made was they would investigate
