WTF is it with PSP exclusive characters?

I mean, ok, this is dumb.

Marvel Nemesis has Captain America and Doctor FRIGGIN Doom exclusive on PSP. WHY? I mean, PSP is the dumbed down one. DOCTOR DOOM DAMN IT. And what exclusive do we, normal console gamers get? NOTHING? We get stupid heroes like The Thing and Electra, but not Captain America and Dr. Doom. NOOOOO. Good job.

And Xmen Legends? Why did they put exclusive characters in the PSP, and not in the console versions? Why can't we have something special that they don't have too? WTF. Stupid stupid stupid.

So.... who else think this is stupid?
 
its because people have to buy these down watered ports! if the developers would make new games, we wouldnt have this problem.
 
This is awesome!

Seriously though, the whole point is that they want you to buy it for PS2/GC/XB AND PSP. They should take a page from Nintendo and let you bring the "exclusive" characters to the PS2 version if you connect your PSP. At the very least, they should make the saves compatible.

Who are the PSP exclusive characters in XML2?
 
NFSMW also has an exclusive cop/pursuit mode in the PSP version. Wohoo, that's the verision I'll only buy anyways (if I buy it at all that is)

We don't know yet. The PSP version gets four exclusive characters, plus extra levels and an extra boss fight.

COOL ISN'T IT?!?!?!?! ISNT IT FRIGGING COOL?!?!

Hey you're stupid...nahhhhhh. :lol Actually i'm getting Xmen Legends 2 for PSP and only for PSP. The graphics are damn close to console, online multiplayer and exclusive characters. If you were a fan of the series you would be tempted to get both. Stop bitching, if the extra characters are THAT important to you then you would get it. I like Spawn and Link but I didn't get soul Calibur II for xbox AND gamecube but I didn't bitch about it either.
 
I may be way off here, but I thought that PSP ports were required to offer exclusive content or game modes in order to receive approval by Sony.

Can anybody verify that with a link? I have heard it several times.
 
It was covered by several gaming Web sites and magazines around the time the PSP prerelease hype started getting big. Linky

SCEA does not allow direct PS2 to PSP conversions. Developers have to make the games different in some way or another.

The thing is, I don't have a PSP, and don't plan on owning one.

That's 100% correct. :)

How dare you bring logic into this discussion.

LOL. So clever! Too bad it was done just a couple of posts over yours.

Where? Where? I don't see it!!! Your post was only only quoted one other time in this thread that I see.

Wouldn't it be different if they took stuff out of the PSP version? They should do that.

I hope that is sarcasm, I mean seriously, who would benefit from that?

logic dicatates that when stuck between the choice of the inferior content filled version and the superior less content version, choosing neither is better

Totally subjective statement.

A small hit in graphics in return for portability and exclusive characters makes it about equal to a console version in my eye, not inferior.
