So we are less than a month out and R* hasnt shown one fucking screen for Midnight Club 3 for the PSP. Sucks.

I'm thinking the game is a piece of shit and it will float into stores without being reviewed or previewed. I mean its not like they are saving it for E3.

 

[Lil' Dice]

HAs anything new and worthwile come out for the PSP since it's launch?

 

[Musashi Wins!]

I'd worry a lot more if this wasn't R* They have a very haphazard policy about releasing game info. I think it's usually slim to none.

I'll be dissapointed if it stinks as well.

MLB does rock.

I keep seeing that too. That's total bullshit, yes?

 

[Wario64]

Who knows. EBgames even has a trade in promotion for it (trade 1 game towards GTA PSP for $10)

:lol

There's only been two games released since launch (which, incidentally was less than 3 week ago )

MLB 2006 as listed above and Mercury

Yeah, the PSP launched LESS than a month ago and launched with a good number of worthwhile games. More good games would be excellent, of course, but I'm willing to let it slide since what I have is already top notch. I just wish there were more releases coming out in the summer months. Maybe E3 will reveal some surprise releases. That'd be nice to see!

Meanwhile, I'll probably pick up HSG, Midnight Club 3 (if its good), and GTA (if its actually coming up). Might also look into getting TM and Darkstalkers if I kind find good deals on them. Smart Bomb is also coming out soon, isn't it? There isn't much buzz around it, but if its a challenging enough puzzle game, it could be worth it. Seems to have some interesting mechanics.

And I still want Mozipittan. Its so expensive online! For what amounts to Japanese Scrabble, I'd expect it to be selling for ~$20-30 equivalent in Japan, but no such luck.

No idea about MLB, but Mercury is a very fine, addictive game.

I heard it was scheduled for June.

Whoa awesome

Got pushed back this week actually. I would expect E3 would give us alot of news on GTA and MC3.

 

[newsguy]

Whoa awesome

Is that a GTA image?

Here in Quebec it's even worse. Ignition didn't bother respecting language laws and Mercury can't be sold here. ;(

 

[CamHostage]

It's the release dates that are bullshit. GTA and MC and this and that are all later than stores say - they just keep nearer dates so that they get pre-orders in this launch timeframe, and since there's no official date or word from the companies, they can ballpark and maybe be wrong, maybe be right, maybe be close to right, maybe not.

I think if they would want to hide anything, it would be The Warriors.

Seems pretty good. Thanks for the screens.

Damn, those are hot...I don't really NEED another racing game for my PSP, but fack, I might get this, unless it sucks of course.

Wow, that looks REALLY good, actually. Does not seem as detailed as the console version, but it's close enough. It actually looks a whole lot like an updated MC2...

 

[duckroll]

Ok I'm not sure if we're all on the same frequency here but I think those shots look like SHIT. I even downloaded the trailer to see if it looked better in motion but all I saw were mediocre car models with flashy textures which caused a strong contrast against the low-resolution dark blurry textures on the actual roads and enviroments themselves. Am I missing something here because I think this game looks really bad and I'm kinda worried about GTA PSP now.

Well those pics and vids are basically the same as MC3, so if you're basing GTA's graphics on that then as long as the current games don't bother you graphically then the PSP version shouldn't.

MC3 PSP looks pretty decent, Axel Impact, whether it plays well or not, still seems to be the best looking PSP racer shown so far

I think the problem is I've never actually paid attention to what Midnight Club looks like. The series doesn't interest me and I was commenting based on how I felt the game looked. Compared Tokyo Highway Battle, Ridge Racers, even Twisted Metal Head On, those pics and that video looks like crap to me imo.

It's been delayed. It was a newsarticle on that a week ago or so.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Yah it's certainly not up to par with those games you mentioned, but the console versions also aren't up to par with the console versions of each of those titles you mentioned. So I really wouldn't worry about it, Rockstar really isn't all that hot when it comes to graphics. The main draw of MC3 is its online play (has this been confirmed for the PSP version) and its customization that shames basically every other game out there.

Oh ok, thanks for clarifying. I guess that's good news then.

 

[dark10x]

Those car models in MC3 are actually very nice. They are higher poly than Ridge Racers and offer higher resolution reflections while taking place in a very large city area along with traffic.

 

[The Bookerman]

We'll probably see gta Psp in May at e3, but I hope to see GT 4 mobile for PSP at e3 too.

Any news one that?

Nothing on the release, but Kaz has said don't expect it to be exactly the same as the PS2 version (put the drifting mode back in please)

I'll be surprised if we either... I'll REALLY be surprised if we see both.

I don't remember, I think it was eurogamer who said it would be delayed, but still released in summer. (wario said it would come next month which wont happen)

EDIT: I was wrong, it's still set for Q3. (May -july)

It will probably come out around the same time as San Andreas for PC & Xbox.

GT Mobile will be playable at this year's show.

I wouldn't bet on GTA PSP being there. R* has never shown off a GTA at E3, always keeping it under wraps for some strange reason. They showed picts of SA before, VC was just a few weeks after. Even though it's summer for PSP, I wouldn't stake my life on playing it at the show.
