I don't like the placing of the analogs in the article. i prefer it to be on the bottom like the rumored pics. Again they need to have apps. They need to release a free or affordable developement kit for indie developers like the 360 did. Also it would be nice to have apps like netflix and other apps people can make for the psp. If sony wants to win, they need to open the psp up to other developers and try to get as many big developers and indie developers to make games for it.

darthkai4837d ago

I agree. Those short, fun, addictive games are where portables are heading IMO. If on a 5 min bus ride, I'd rather play something short and meaningless than start up a 30 min quest and have it consistently interrupted throughout the day.
That's of course not to say that big powerhouse games don't have their place. And if they can make it come close to the PS3, then awesome.
But IGN can't possibly expect it to have PS3-like graphics in a portable form AND cost LESS than the PS3. That's like saying a gaming laptop should cost less then a less powerful desktop. There's no logic to it.
Other than that they have a pretty good list. PS3 - PSP2 Ubiquity would definitely spark my interest. Then again, we were supposed to have that with Gran Turismo on PSP, no?

TheLastGuardian4837d ago (Edited 4837d ago )

This is the greatest IGN article I've ever read. I've only read about 10 of them but still, I agree with every word of it.

ABizzel14837d ago

Well with all this big website speculating, it's a safe bet that, the PSP2 will be announced.

I'm sure the PSP2 will hit every mark, but the only thing I want to know is the price. $300 is the mark everyone's looking for, and that's what it has to be, if they can't make it any less.

LOOK_AT_THIS_I4837d ago

agree with all the above, and they need to keep an ear on the heartbeat of prices for downloadable only games. Its ridiculous for me to justify a purchase on the psn for a digital only media for 19.99 and can go to best buy/wal mart/amazon.com and get the physical media for 9.99.

Im all for convenience and options, but a slight reduction in price for digital would help spark a fire if they want to compete with other "app" providers.
(angry birds psn=3.99, on iphone=.99 .....its the same game, no trophies....come on)

Kon4838d ago

People need to be more creative when it comes to PSP2 pics.

Chitown712914837d ago

It should read:
"What IGN needs to do , instead of saying what the PSP2 needs to do"
I mean c'mon man, this thing hasnt even got released yet, and your already saying what it needs..........Sony learned from its mistakes................they know what it needs

ABizzel14837d ago

People don't need to be more creative, we'll see it soon.

DarkBlood4838d ago

it needs to be comfortable to hold and not feel like my hands are cramped, plus that is why i always keep the psp case with the top part holding extra games off just so i can hold the sides more easly

CobraKai4837d ago

I realized this playing peace walker and god of war. I was wishing the PSP was shaped like a dual shock.

Blaine4838d ago

I'm getting really tired of these useless articles. This is worse than speculation (which I hate)--it's just wishful thinking!

Give me hard info, or shut up already.

Jac5al4838d ago

Apps, Dual analog, touch screen, Publisher/Indie support, HD camera, etc.

andy856d ago

And people say it's all fake because Sony haven't said anything 😂 conveniently forget the PS4 Pro was only announced 2 months before release.

BeHunted6d ago

It's fake. There's no factual evidence other than his own made up specs.

Hereandthere6d ago

What were the specks Sony was afraid of showing?

Shikoku6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Digital foundry put a video out saying what he leaked was exactly what they also knew about the PS5 PRO. So no it's not just stuff he made up

Babadook76d ago (Edited 6d ago )

If it’s fake what copyright does MLID infringe upon?

😂

andy856d ago

Aye because they'd go to the effort of copyright claiming it if it didn't exist 🙃😂 you'd have to be a special kind to be thinking its not a thing by now

Cacabunga6d ago

They need to reveal it with uncharted killzone or a heavy hitter like this

Ironmike6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

U mean the specs that we'll established digital foundry which said these are the actual specs published a video on 2 weeks ago I mean they are only one of most trusted sites for tech information but they just made up a video for the sake of it

Christopher6d ago

I would love for it all to be fake, but lots of people are saying they've seen/heard the same thing. But, man, we 100% don't need mid-gen upgrades when we're failing hard to optimize current hardware.

Seraphim5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

if I recall Sony lowered sales expectations for PS5 earlier this year. if that is the case we won't hear anything about a Pro until next year or shortly before/when it's dropping. After all, if the Pro was dropping this year/fiscal year they wouldn't have lowered expectations.

As for squashing rumors. Yeah, shit like this prevents potential buyers from adopting now, just like slim rumors in the past. It only makes sense to keep things under wraps from a business perspective. Despite living in a technological age of unfettered access to information we don't need to know whats going on behind closed doors be that at Sony, Nintendo, MS, or amongst any development studios. When the steak is done we shall feast.

JackBNimble5d ago

By the time games are actually made to take advantage of the pro spec's the ps6 will be released or close to it.

jznrpg6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Just announce it already! I want to preorder one asap. But in reality they don’t want to lessen PS5 sales until Pro is ready to launch so I understand the business part of it. September is probably when they announce it with an early November launch like the PS4 Pro

Ironmike6d ago

Pro won't lessen sales sames ps4 pro never and the ps4 pro was more relevant at the time cos move to 4k this not needed

RaidenBlack6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Yea, my brother got his PS4 (coz of a good deal) after the PS4 Pro's release.

darthv726d ago

^^same here. I got a base 4 for only $100 off a guy who bought the Pro. then a few months later I found a guy on craigslist selling a pro for $100 because it was left behind by his former roommate who moved out. That was the beginning of my obsession to buy up the different variants of the PS4 that were released.

As of now I am really only missing the 500m one and the gold slim but otherwise I have pretty much all the other retail ones. https://consolevariations.c...

crazyCoconuts5d ago

Anyone with 4K that appreciates 60fps is gonna disagree about it not being needed.
DLSS is a god send for Nvidia, and there's been nothing like it for AMD...yet ...

DeadlyFire6d ago

They will announce it around E3 timeframe about May-June whenever they do a showcase for the year.

neutralgamer19926d ago

Just announce it this thing will sell well

Ironmike6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

I don't think it will pll still haven't seen the potential of ps5 yet

Cacabunga6d ago

agreed, but it might sell if they announce some 1st party games to lead the way. if people see the difference with the base version they can move on. for my sake I am still gaming mainly on PS4 (still not finished with RDR2 due to lack of gaming time). I have a huge backlog on PS5 I am hoping to get into.

mark3214uk6d ago

why? game makers havnt even come close to maxing out current spec yet, were getting al lthese new TFlops and game maker are making crappy remakes not worthy of the ps3

Minute Man 7216d ago

The guts of the 5 and X are 5 years old

fr0sty5d ago

People keep saying that, yet we still have games running at near HD resolutions, 30fps, and ray tracing features turned off.

PRIMORDUS6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

I would take that video and upload a torrent of it, fuck that copyright bullshit. If your going to do something that has a chance of being taken down, make a torrent first share it. Then Sony or any other company is helpless and you can laugh in their faces, taunting them to try to take it down 🤣

LoveSpuds6d ago

With kind of analysis and advice, you could be a lawyer for Trump!🤣

tronyx126d ago

As much as the PS4 Pro didn't represent a major % in the playerbase, announcing a 'better' model will hinder sales from the 'base' model. They are right, business-wise.

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.

Relientk7711d ago

Don't play with my feelings like that.

Also, new Tenchu please!

TheColbertinator11d ago

Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5214d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212114d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

MrNinosan14d ago

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5213d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5213d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Barlos14d ago

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.

Barlos14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani13d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum14d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman14d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim14d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

I disagree Batman
