Sony today unveiled a new initiative whereby select PlayStation Portable titles will be ported to the PlayStation 3, with improvements made along the way to (hopefully) make the whole thing worthwhile.
It's called the PlayStation Portable Remaster Series, and sees certain PSP games re-released on the PS3 with enhancements like exclusive new content, HD graphics, control pad support, 3D visuals and more.
There's even multiplayer compatibility, with the PS3 versions of the game able to be played over Sony's Ad Hoc multiplayer service for the PSP.
Most interesting, and promising for existing PSP gamers, is that save games for these titles will work on both systems, so you can take the same campaign from PSP to PS3 and back again.
The first game announced for this line is smash hit (in Japan) Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, which will be re-released on the PS3 this Summer (in Japan). Sony says more game announcements from more publishers will be coming down the pipeline. There was no specific mention of a timeframe for an international release for the service, but hopefully that will come at E3 next month.
It would be a crazy, crazy world if Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and the PSP God of War games were not among the first titles revealed for the service.
HD visuals? oh my god. thats seriously the best thing ever
ResponderEliminarI cant think of a psp game that i would like to play in a ps3 , maybe peace maker
ResponderEliminarEgh, ports are boring!
ResponderEliminarcan't wait !!
ResponderEliminarawesome! they better do good.
ResponderEliminarI'm digging the PS3/PSP compatibility.
ResponderEliminarI thought most PSP games were just ports from the PS3 in the first place?
ResponderEliminarits excites me.... like a lot!!!!
ResponderEliminarNever seen that many PSPs around. Wonder if it's really worth the time and effort to do this
ResponderEliminarSeems a bit backwards to me
ResponderEliminarThat's dope, but the setup must be hella expensive
ResponderEliminari thought psp games are like little brothers to ps3 games?
ResponderEliminarHm... I always assumed the PSP died a few years ago.... guess I was wrong.
ResponderEliminarlooking forward to this! following
ResponderEliminarill have to save some money then
ResponderEliminarSounds awesome! Can't wait.
ResponderEliminarI'm interested to see what games they do this for.
ResponderEliminarThis is very good news
ResponderEliminarHeard so much about PSP lately, are they really worth the money?
ResponderEliminar"monster hunter" loved it now in HD PS3 :o
ResponderEliminarI'm actually looking forward to this coming out.
ResponderEliminarmeeh i won't be getting a portable gaming system anytime soon.
ResponderEliminarPatapon in HD glory!
ResponderEliminarIf only I could afford HD
ResponderEliminarHD is always good.
ResponderEliminarThey should probably work on new games instead of rehashing old stuff all the time. We don't need another Nintendo.
ResponderEliminarI read that the project still for Japan now, can't wait for international.
ResponderEliminarSounds good, but im an Xbox man.
ResponderEliminarPeace Walker was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the post title. I wouldnt mind this, I dont really like playing those kind of complicated 3D games on a handheld.
ResponderEliminarCool, I wonder what they mean by HD visuals?
