[GaimeGuy]

I saw a commercial for this game a few days ago.

 

[Tiktaalik]

I know nothing of this game. What's it about? Is it like the PSP answer to animal crossing or something?

It's a ARPG where you can equip the pets with different weapons and stuff. Sony Santa Monica is developing it so it could turn out pretty well.

"Uh...what the hell is THIS crap?"

 

[ManaByte]

neopets were invented by Scientologists.

el em aye oh

 

[radios shipping overview]

Xenu approves.

 

[Phranky]

What the hell is a Symol? Has someone copyrighted the word animal or something?

 

[jamesinclair]

Fun Fact: MTV bought Neopets a few months back.

 

[Ulairi]

Are Neopets some type of new pokemon type anime?

 

[Shaheed79]

These are the sort of games that SCEA needs to make for PSP, new addictive franchises. I would declare this to be a bonafide hit if I knew how many "Pets" were in the game and what the reward system was like.

If 199ish is new, then yes.

looks good

 

[elostyle]

Seems like the wrong platform for a game like this.

Somewhere, very secretly, Drinky Crow is crying in shame.

A Symol is a breed of Petpet. Like a cross between a shrew and a squirrel.
See, in Neopets you can have up to 4 Neopets. Each of those have their own Petpets.
And yes, there are Petpetpets, often bug themed.

This game is going to bomb. There is no audience for this on PSP.

 

[M3wThr33]

I'm sure Sony is publishing this. I think they want to try to create the next Pokemon through it. Sadly when the focus of all of this is around a free site that's more entertaining, it'll never work.

FIND GREEN APPLE FUNFUNFUN

 

[adamsappel]

PSP is teh kiddy!

 

[Ravidrath]

Being made in Sony San Diego, actually - a friend of mine went to go work on it, and has been in crunch since he started there.

I get the impression it's either not good, or just narrowly avoided being bad when they added three more months to its schedule - he doesn't seem to know any more. The PS2 game wasn't good, though, so I expect the same here.

 

[Drinky Crow]

oh sweet god my eyes

my SOUL

death to furry franchises

 

[ToyMachine228]

Neopets.Com will forever be the best Neopets game. If you can call it that.

 

[AlphaSnake]

This is the same Neopets license that was also used during the Tomagotchi craze? Because I had a neopet, it was some purple looking one.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

This should come with a rainbow sticker for the car.

 

[Lindsay]

I still question to this day how this franchise came to be "real." Started back when PKMN/Digimon was becoming popular as some free website thing to today where it's made into actual videogames and junk. If a derivative, cash-in on other monster game popularity thing like this can make it big..Nintendo oughta be worried about Dogz and Dog Trainer. :lol As for the game itself it looks solid graphically. PS-ish but not bad 'cept for the character art. Dunno why MTV/Sony wanna market this ta PSP owners but crazier things have happened!

 

[Belfast]

The PS2 version of NEOPETS: The Darkest Faerie wasn't all that bad of a little action/adventure game. Far from perfect, but above-average, I'd say. I wouldn't be surprised to see the PSP game turn out to be a fun little gem even if it isn't anything extraordinary.

 

[callous]

Neopets is so 2000.

 

[Ikaris]

Wow...

Animal Crossing am cry...

no wait, scratch that.

 

[CO_Andy]

Western developers are so unoriginal

I think Dragon Quest Monsters deserves another chance

 

[callous]

Don't have Green Apple yet? Well, please keep looking!

I'd rather kill myself with a cardboard box.
