Looks incredible. Whenever the hell PSP drops in price, I'll buy one with this game. <3

 

[Kiriku]

Nice pics...except for the crappy image compression. :/

 

[borghe]

lemmings died the day it left the amiga.

Not to mention playing lemmings without a mouse is like typing with your feet.

Nice screens though.

 

[Ghost]

^^^Well maybe not that bad


But surely the controls will let this down. The second you have to move quickly across the screen you are screwed.

 

[Minotauro]

The widescreen aspect ratio really seems to suit this game.

Sure it would work better with a mouse...but it worked on consoles back then, and you can always pause the game.

 

[Wollan]

You can probably scroll the screen left and right with L and R.
Should make it easier. Still, without that, the snes version gave me a good time.

 

[thegodsend]

this game needs a touchscreen... ^^

This looks awesome. Lemmings is probably my favorite puzzle-solving game.

 

[Rlan]

I wish they'd at least acknowledge Lemmings 2: The Tribes at some point. It at least gave you the ability to move onto new maps without having to complete the one before it. It was still pretty hard, too.

Still, looks great. Are the maps shown in the new images NEW maps, or ones from the original Lemmings with some flair?

 

[Tarazet]

This is my favorite game of all time. Is it coming Stateside? If not, then I'm importing this with no hesitation.

 

[+Aliken+]

This game would work well with a stylus :lol

 

[cs060mk2]

They are working on Worms to, I bet the games share the same code for viewing the map.

 

[VictimOfGrief]

Why oh why do people fucking care about image compression?

 

[Rlan]

Why oh why do people fucking care about image compression?

Uhh.... because it makes an image that would usually be very clean and sharp into something that is blurry and filled with artifacting?

A pause button should eliminate those problems.

I've played through every single last level in the SNES version, and even with the choppy scrolling, it wasn't that difficult to play.

That's the $40+ import question... if they're the same maps as the 1991 Amiga original... well, I beat that game once already.

 

[Unison]

Yeah, that game rocked. It was very playable and the music was godly.

 

[Izzy]

It looks great and it's coming in less than 30 days. I do wonder about its sales potential - original Lemmings were huge.

 

[Razoric]

I opened this thread wondering how long it would take for an known PSP critic to criticise. 3 posts.

Yes, it's like that with almost every PSP thread now. :\

 

[neptunes]

Well who's crying now Razoric?

 

[fugimax]

US date on this?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

looks great I want...

question: Where are the Lemmings going?

 

[Jerkface]

This game would work well with a stylus :lol

I agree, this would be a perfect DS game.

 

[kaching]

I really appreciate the trend among PSP games to accomodate user-created content via built-in editors. I hope it continues.

 

[Wollan]

Concerning people asking about US date, I don't think this has been confirmed for US launch at all. :/
*import*

It's the for the PSP, you shouldn't really care THAT much about graphic quality of a image capture.

 

[Beer Monkey]

The Lynx version was awesome, seriously.

The screen size is no concern. The Lynx version had scroll during pause and it worked perfectly.

Hell, the original Amiga, ST, and PC versions were only 320x200.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

This game would be PERFECT for a stylus control type..

I WANT LEMMINGS ON DS DAMNIT

Why not? With pretty 2D graphics like this, it's a crime to be destroyed with such heavy compression.

 

[Zaphod]

The snes version has a permanent place on my 32mb memory stick. I don't have a problem with non mouse/stylus controls but the snes version is the only one I ever owned. I can't wait for this version it looks nice and the widescreen looks handy.

*sigh*

 

[Lord Error]

*sigh*

What?

PSP direct buffer screencaps even have the advantage that anyone can easily put them on PSP itself to see what the game will look like on it's screen. When they are crappiefied like this it's pointless.

 

[Merlin]

Bad art. The original looked better.

 

[bitwise]

I love it and can't wait to play it!

 

[Merlin]

Lovely. Widescreens gonna be difficult too. You'll have to scroll up and down.

It's already been announced, hasn't it? We've even seen screens. Looks exactly like this, sans widescreen.

Worms

 

[Lord Error]

Probably not. Vertical resolution on PSP is higher than the resolution used for original Lemmings. Widescreen aspect will just make you scroll less horizontally.

 

[Merlin]

Why do the new screens look all zoomed in? The old ones looked nicer. Are they fake? I don't see how they fit on the PSP screen.

 

[Wollan]

Doesn't Sony own the Lemmings license? I thought Psygnosis owned it before and it eventually went to Sony.

 

[GDGF]

Worms

:lol Thanks. Getting my oldschool confused.

Developed by DMA design (now Rockstar), published by Psygnosis before it became Sony Liverpool.

 

[Beer Monkey]

The wider ones show the whole level. You'll have to scroll to see the whole thing on the real console.

The real short ones appear to be cropped at the top.

The ones at 480x272, kind of in-between the superwide and the top-cropped, should be accurate.

 

[krypt0nian]

This is HUGE!

And also makes me want a great 2D version of Worms on PSP.
