More screens

old ?
 
Jesus, Wipeout looks fantastic! I've been trying to downplay my excitement for PSP but these screens may have just pushed me over the edge.

Sadly, it will probably end up like my DS. I'll get it on launch day, play it for a few days, and then it will begin to gather dust on my coffee table. For some reason, I generally just can't get into portable games. It probably has something to do with the fact that I hardly ever leave the house except to work and have no incentive to play one as opposed to one of the home consoles.
 
Please SCEE don't let Wipeout suck, please SCEE don't let Wipeout suck, please SCEE don't let Wipeout suck, please SCEE don't let Wipeout suck, please SCEE don't let Wipeout suck, please SCEE don't let Wipeout suck, please SCEE don't let Wipeout suck, please SCEE don't let Wipeout suck, please SCEE don't let Wipeout suck, please SCEE don't let Wipeout suck, please SCEE don't let Wipeout suck, please SCEE don't let Wipeout suck, please SCEE don't let Wipeout suck...
 
I absolutely adore Ape Escape. It's probably my favorite first party Sony game... but I am disturbed by the lack of dual analog control! :-/ At least this seems to be taking a different approach, judging by those cool screens.

Edit: though it looks to be like a WarioWare ripoff... :-/ Those minigames seem pretty stupid. I hope they aren't the best that game has to offer.
 
Heh, i totally forgot about Medievil. I always liked the game but i never bought it (or part 2). Didnt know PSP was getting it, its a port right?

Exactly why I am not buying anymore portables!

But maybe I leave the house a bit more :)
 
Wow, Wipeout looks amazing - certainly better than the PS2 one. Image quality alone makes a lot of difference; no more jaggies.

TDR back or not? Can't tell from the HUD .
No. They will never work on another Wipeout game (probably). Michael Place has left and made Build anyway, and from what I can gather, he was the driving force behind Wip3out's style.
 
TDR are not back and will not be back...
CoLD SToRAGE is back though.. or that's what i've heard anyway.
I really, reallly, reallly, really X100000, hope this doesn't play like WipE'out Fusion... GOD!! Please let it play like 2097 or Wipeout 3, this is the final straw.. if wipeout pure sucks i quit gaming.

good news

and by the looks of it... going by track design alone, it looks like it'll play just like wipeout3.
 
Fusion made me realise I was way more TDR's bitch than WipEout's...
Well, not exactly, but how could they get Fusion sooooo wrong ?

Anyway, I guess I'll buy a PSP at launch if this one's a launch title for Euro zone. Sad sad me.

Heh, don't be too deceived. Those screens are supersampled. Look at the RR screens here, or Medieval screens for an example of actual image quality on PSP (it's certainly good, and on par or better than 90% of PS2 games, IMO). Now imagine that it'll look better than that on the actual, smaller, LCD screen, and at 60FPS, and you're good to go :)
 
Holy shit with Wipeout! That looks incredible! I'm dying to know who's gonna be on the soundtrack for that game.

If you look at the screen, you can see that the topography matches the map layout perfectly; that's an impressive draw distance! :)
 
That new Wipeout is very stylish looking, but I don't think it exceeds Fusion (visually). Fusion had very complex tracks. The image quality was pretty bad, though...

That shot rules, though.
 
Wasn't there a mode in Wipeout 3 Special Edition that featured tracks rejected from previous Wipeout games and rendered in a Tron-esque style? If so maybe that's some kind of reprisal of that mode.

Whoa, now I look at it, the clipping on that second bend in the distance is fucking terrible. You can see the sky where there should be road.

Wow Wipeout, Medievil and WRC all look very nice. Maybe SCEE doesn't suck after all :p
No, SCEE will suck if they don't bring those games to the US(particularly WRC Portable ;-P). But, since the PSP is region free for games, no scratch off my back.

Maybe Sony didn't own it back then, you know?
Sony had a majority stake in Psygnosis since before PS1, but they never managed to keep Psygnosis games off Saturn or N64 (like Nintendo kept Rare off PS1). I think in the late 1990s Psygnosis was bought out entirely though, and the development teams brought into SCEE internally.

Oh, I didn't know that. Interesting.

Those shots are actually of Piposaru Academia, a separate minigame collection. Plain jane Ape Escape is still on the way as-is.

Will if they don't bring the game over it'll probably be due to SCEA's sucking :p

This is a point in which the HOS patches that make the water are forming a crack: HOS support in PSP is there and is fast, but lacks flexibility as you cannot use fractional LOD or use different LOD for neighbouring patches without having even the smallest of cracks between the two patches.

Evidently there's 2 "plain jane" Ape Escapes coming. Ape Escape P (which looks like it's based off the first game) and Ape Escape 3 (which is also coming to PS2).
