This game will be great when I buy it ^_^

If this is out, where is the buy button? Not particularly to create the hype when it is not really available. It looks like a neat game that I might purchase when it is actually available. How about posting a date for that.

BTW, if you are looking for a PS2 game to port to the PSP how about Return to Castle Wolfenstein?

It’s good to finaly see some PSP love! Keep it up Sony! Get some more UMD classics on the PSP Store like the fallowing:

Ace Combat X: Skys of Deception

Monster Hunter 2

Also any chance the PSP could see the fallowing PSone Classics come out soon?:

Final Fantasy 5

Gex Enter the Geko

Ray Man 2

Tekken (the first 3D fighter and the best ever)

Also how about for the PS3 just so the PS2 B/C lovers can stop crying their heads off you launch a PS2 legacy section for the PS3 with the fallowing games on the list:

Killzone

Final Fantasy 12

Phantasy Star Universe

God of War 2

I mean that would be great to launch with those titles as it would give people a chance to look back and keep the idea of PS2 games on the PS3 alive. Though it would be harder to do then with the Xbox360 as the PS3 would have to do software emulation and each title would have to work without issues.

There will come a time when people will look on our walls and see books, and wonder why we cut down trees; they will look at our game cabinets full of ancient DVDs and wonder why we queued in stores.

We are tomorrow’s future generation of old people, crying about how wonderful things used to be when you queued up for a copy of God of War 3 on opening night. Barefoot. In the snow. Uphill. Both ways.

You know, if you’re serious, you could always sit down and do a diff; walk the diff, looking at each of the major changes, and then sit down with the devs that ported, and have them talk you through what they did…

And then write up a kick-ass article on Gamasutra.

Stories like this are fascinating; there’s essentially two kinds of optimisations that get done – point optimisations where one algorithm gets swapped for another for efficiency’s sake, and some of the bigger refactors, that may fundamentally change the way certain things get done but which provide the same ultimate output.

Out of all of the things that were done, which of those optimisations could then be put back into the PS3 version, and would they see a performance benefit there, too, or were there performance changes that only made sense on the PSP?

I’d love to know.

Thanks rlowe, that’s good to hear. Encouraging words that make my desire to buy even higher.

I already have this for the PS3, but I will definitely get it for the PSP. It’s such a great game.

If Jon is out there, please make more!

I spent a lot (and I mean a lot) of time playing this while QA was working on it. I was stunned at how well the d-pad and the face buttons work as controls.

I always thought Jon was a little weird saying \”face buttons are better than sticks!\” but I\’m thinking maybe he\’s right. :)

Anybody actually download and play this yet? I’m not in a rush to buy it because I would be using it on the road (I own the PS3 version), and I’m not out on the road for another 2 weeks. Based on the blog it sounds like a faithful port. However, I’m only concerned about the controls and how they translate over to the PSP. I mean, if the overall gameplay, graphics, and sound is fine, then the controls are all that’s left.
