So now that the PSP has been out for a while (atleast in Japan), has anyone tried out the game, especially the d-pad/analog stick (does PSP have an analog stick)? I know there was another thread about the PSP and fighting games in general but I was wondering what everyone’s impressions are now.
analog stick is much worser to use than the D-pad. the analog stick for the PSP doesnt fully move around like the PS2 controller analog. but if anyone can get used to the PSP analog stick for fighting games, mad props to them.
i dont know for sure if the PSP DarkStalker is from the Dreamcast, since i only play the PS1 version. but i heard the loading time for DS was pretty lame. the PSP had about 32 megs of memory to use and it actually needs to load a 1-on-1 fighting game.:lame: if this was MVC2 here, understandable. i am interested in the wireless battle though. wonder if you will lag and all. other than that, i cant wait to get my hands on one of those PSP coming this march 24:wow:
Actually, the DS has tons of third party support. Square Enix announced six exclusive RPGs for the DS, and they’re working with Nintendo to get it online.
Konami’s also developing an exclusive Castlevania for DS, which is looking pretty sweet.
Both handhelds have great third party support, but DS is definitely the one to get if you’re into RPGs.
You guys are bitching because there isn’t enough fighters? OMG it’s a freaking handheld, are you gonna look around the mall or something for comp?
I think NintendoDS is gonna have a lot of 3rd party just because it’s nintendo handheld, and it already has a big head start, so the companies know how well nintendo’s handhelds do. PSP will get them just because it’s sony, unless it starts to fail.
Dude…that’s quite possibly the most ignorant comment I’ve ever heard outta you. Usually (when you’re not bashing Capcom, anyway) you’re good on not posting BS.
The fighting game comment stands as of now, but no decent third party support…? They have Square-Enix. Online. FOR FREE. They have Namco, making Baten Kaitos AND Xenosaga. They have the new Castlevania (which will own all, mark my words). Sega’s making PSO, and rumors about a Soul Calibur were abound. Capcom’s making Viewtiful Joe, Koei’s making Dynasty Warriors, Bandai with the Naruto games and Jump Super Stars (granted its SSBM style, but a fighter nonetheless), and those are only a couple of them. Not to hijack the thread, but it had to be said.
Getting back to the topic, that’s pretty weak that PSP pad is garbage…PS2 is one of the most badass controllers. So what the hell happened? Tried to make it too sleek and compact, or what?
Wait for Capcom’s Vampire collection on the PS2. The PSP version of Vampire Chronicle plays like it’s on a handheld. That’s no good, by the way. You can’t be dextrous with the D-Pad and the buttons if those same fingers are having to grip the system.
this is tho, ds may have started earlier, but its still a losing battle. we already sell psp games at my work and we already have more titles for the psp than we do with the ds and the psp dont come out til next week. ds does have 3rd part support, but psp has much stronger 3rd part support, just because of the name. in the end, the ds will be just like the n64 and gamecube, which is, only worth having for nintendo exclusives(mario, zelda, metroid…), even tho thats fine by me lol. i like both systems, but i think nintendo finally met its match.
yeah in japan, although the ds has sold more units overall, it gets outdone by the psp in weekly sales. but still, competition is a good thing and hopefully both systems will get good games as a result
i dunno, here in uk generally people love sony more than nintendo, especially when it comes to ps2 vs gamecube. dunno about the rest of europe though. i think the psp will do well as long as sony ship more than a dozen like they did with the ps2
fighting games never have and never will be suited to portables
psp looks like owning the ds, it is in japan anyway. sorry N fanbois, figures speak more then jaded opinions
