Gaijin Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 My GS still hasn't received theirs. It's been getting rave reviews.
Keith Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 I've got my copy of portable ops (and MGS protective case dealy), don't have a PSP yet, but couldn't resist grabbing portable ops.
Gaijin Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 Just got it...played through about 30 mins...so far...it's looking very good.
promethuem5 Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 Can't wait to grab my copy of MGPO on saturyda Keith, what's the Metal Gear Solid protective case you mentined? Sounds cool...
Keith Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 It's a 4 piece plastic case that apparently works as an outercasing for the PSP, while still allowing access to all ports/buttons/disc drive/ etc. Plus it has logo's & such reflecting Metal Gear PO. There's a small picture of it here MGSPO case
promethuem5 Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Oh, cool.... I've already got a good skin for mine, but that one's pretty sweet too... picked it up this morning, and played for like an hour... it's really good, the controls are alright, but I realized how rusty I am at MGS stealthing... I did horrible,.... hopefully once I get the hang of these controls I'll be back to super-undetectableness, but the game is awesome looking and sounding so far.... I'm very happy.
Morpheus Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 Is Super Robot Taisen MX for psp worth buying? Currently I have Ridge Racer (JP) and Valkyrie Profiles (JP), looking for some good strategy and fighting games.
twich Posted December 15, 2006 Author Posted December 15, 2006 anybody have any ideas where I might get a strategy guide for Killzone:Liberation? I am really trying to get started on the game and I am so out of touch with the story, a strategy guide might help me out. Thanks! Also, how is the single player portion of Metal Gear Solid:PO? Is it tight and playable in Portable Format? I am really wondering if I should get the game, and I am NOT into the online, player vs Player thing. Twich

Twich It is as good as a console version of MGS...it is broken up into smaller missions at a time though, since it is a portable. It continues the story after Snake Eater...Fox Hound!!
promethuem5 Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 I'm not huge on the PVP stuff eitehr, but the single player of MGS:PO is AMAZING! I've been playting it since I got it last weekend... it's simply incredible, very well broken up into small (but sweet) missions, and feels great... looks better than the origianl MGS too. I couldn't be happier.
Gaijin Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 Really getting into Portable Ops...The Wi-Fi scan to find new recruits is interesting.
promethuem5 Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 I got a neato Spy-character from my access point that was a great boost early on... gonna try getting to some other access points this week and see what I get... it's a wonky and totally appropriate MGS-esque feature...
Hikuro Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 I'm gonna really try to put some money aside and get a new PSP, I was thinking of getting one of those Japanese Blue ones....wonder if its worth it.
promethuem5 Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Alright...totally stupid question... is the PSP region free? Like, if I buy the JP Gundam game, will it run on my US PSP?
Dangard Ace Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Games are supposed to be region free. Videos though....not so much.
promethuem5 Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 well, games are all I care about, so great.
bandit29 Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Ya I have a few JP, UK(region 2) and Asian (region 3) PSP games and they work on my US PSP.
TSP Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 I love Salamander and Gradius. But all these oldshool game collections ain't very innovative. There are too many PSX/PS2 converted or emulated games. When will the games industry start to create "real" PSP games? PSP the better PC-Engine?! [attachmentid=39204]
twich Posted December 28, 2006 Author Posted December 28, 2006 So anyone have asny ideas when they will have an update that will allow you to download PS1 game straight to your PSP without the PS3? I am really looking forward to that, I have some games I would love to play again! Twich
Lance Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 A few days ago a custom PSP firmware (3.02 OE-B) was released that allows you to play Playstation 1 games on the PSP. It uses the PS1 emulator Sony built into the 3.0x series of firmware. You can find out more info about that firmware here. The site is a bit slow today. Be prepared to do a lot of reading to get caught up if you haven't been flowing the PSP homebrew scene. Here are a few blurry pics of Macross VFX2 on the PSP. VFX2 plays fine. So does Symphony of the Night. The PSP just got a massive injection of quality titles. It is unfortunate that Sony didn't excute well at all and will likely not profit much from the PS1 emulation.

Black Valkyrie Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 Some Castlevania news regarding the PSP.
Gaijin Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 I'd like a 2D Castlevania like SOTN but...with better graphics than the hardware that the DS gives us. I didn't listen to the interview...what was said...2D or 3D Castlevania on PSP?
bandit29 Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Castlevania PSP ... (prequel to SOTN) Not only that but SOTN is included with a new translation.. thankfully After six years of nonstop support for Nintendo's portable devices, Konami is finally branching out to Sony's side of the handheld market with Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles -- a port of the PC Engine Duo's Dracula X: Rondo of Blood. The title, announced at their annual Gamers' Day press event, contains not only a graphically-enhanced version of Rondo of Blood with a 3D facelift, but the original version as well as -- are you ready? A straight port of the legendary Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, complete with full-screen graphics and a newly glossed over translation. http://www.joystiq.com/2007/02/01/castleva...veiled-for-psp/
Ginrai Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 I love Salamander and Gradius. But all these oldshool game collections ain't very innovative. There are too many PSX/PS2 converted or emulated games. When will the games industry start to create "real" PSP games? PSP the better PC-Engine?! [attachmentid=39204] Yeah, it's not like Lumines or Loco Roco are PSP games. Neither are Exit or Mercury and Mercury Meltdown, or Killzone Liberation (which is not at all like the original Killzone). Forget Every Extra Extend. There are also plenty of good sequels to old game franchises that are NOT ports or remakes like Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops, Tales of Eternia, Wipeout Pure, the two GTA games, Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror, Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins, et cetera. There's a bunch of enhanced remakes or whatever like Megaman Powered Up, Tekken Dark Resurrection, et cetera, but come on, saying there are not good PSP games or that the only PSP games are ports is soooo 2005.
bandit29 Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 (edited) Well PSP does have too many ports but its getting a little better nowadays. more Castlevania PSP coverage. Due Fall 07 http://psp.ign.com/articles/760/760806p1.html Of course, Rondo Arranged is just one of the games available in Dracula X Chronicles, as both the original Rondo of Blood and its highly-acclaimed sequel, Symphony of the Night are also included. The latter two games are planned as "unlockables" once you've completed the Arranged experience, and as an added bonus, Symphony of the Night will boast some all-new additions as well.

Gunbuster Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 have you checked out this? http://www.machpsp.com/us/
Ginrai Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 MACH looks like it could be fun, but I'm more interested in Afterburner...
promethuem5 Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 CASTLEVANIA FTW!!! Best news for the PSP I've heard since they finally started the PSOne emulation. Sounds like we wont need to emulate SOTN anyways....
zeo-mare Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 (edited) Not only that but SOTN is included with a new translation.. thankfully http://www.joystiq.com/2007/02/01/castleva...veiled-for-psp/ edit: the icing on the cake it has both Rondo original and SOTN, which is awesome. chris Edited February 3, 2007 by zeo-mare
Gaijin Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 edit: the icing on the cake it has both Rondo original and SOTN, which is awesome. chris YEs, definitely a must buy.
Metal_Massacre_79 Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 I think they did a good job with the SOCOM series on the PSP. I enjoyed playing the first one, and I'm still waiting to get the second. Mercury was a ton of fun, and BomberMan kicks so much butt. PQ was another that I enjoyed. Castlevania on PSP? I'm all over that one.
savior_myst Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Wow this is great news !!! But i suppose the question is will the game allow you to have the option of playing any of the titles in it or will it be a continuous play. I mean say for example we get really excited and would like to play SOTN before Rondo

I mean say for example we get really excited and would like to play SOTN before Rondo I'm pretty sure you'd be able to pick from the 3 at the start: Original Rondo Arranged Rondo Enhanced SOTN (With redone voices finally!)
