In his latest Game Over column, Chris Morris over at CNNMoney has said that, according to analysts that he has spoken with, the PSP should receive a price cut of $50, down to an MSRP of $149, before this holiday season.
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.
I was'nt going to pay $200 dollar for it.
okay, i MAY think about re-purchasing a PSP for $150. but first, Sony needs to put some games on that thing.
seriously man, i cant wait till the psone emulator is launched in october
there are so many classic games i loved on psone that i could play on my psp anywhere!
They just had a price drop, down to $179.....is this story old or something??
So I didn't expect such a low price in the first place, but consumers tend to not notice these things and see the price, not the value. If Sony can get the PSP down to $149, the DS won't look like such a good deal at $129. BTW, the PSP has a LOT of available titles, and a significant number of great ones to boot. Wipeout Pure, Tokobot, Daxter, GTA, Mercury, Burnout Legends, Lumines, Riiidge Racer, etc,etc. (can't wait to get my hands on Killzone:Liberation and LocoRoco) There's even an FF game coming out for it! I think people get the impression that there aren't very many games for it since places like Gamestop only allocate a small amount of space to handheld titles, and spend the rest on console titles.
The only problem with this article is that it came from the mouths of analysts, not Sony. The Holiday season would be a great time to drop the price of their handheld, but with the incredible costs of launching/producing the PS3 I wouldn't count on it too much.
