So thats the picture of it, I just found out about it a little while ago. Personally, I love this new design, it keeps the classic elements that made the PSP 1 very playable, while still greatly improving apon the platform and making it much more competitive. I've read a lot of wild stuff about how it's supposed to work, but not a lot I'm sure about. On some sites I read about 3G coverage as well as Wifi, and a touchscreen. Apparently it has a beastly processor, thats one thing everyone can agree on, and it seems to be on the level of PS3 in some respects, on some sites there was a hint of Trophy support, and in one video, which I personally don't think is legitimate, apparently Kojima may or may not have demo'd MGS4 on it to show it's capabilities, but something tells me that is a fake. But either way, everyone can agree it's going to have a monster ass processor. Also, apparenly it also has a touchpad on the back, not sure what that could mean. Another report says it has similar motion sensors to the PS Move inside of it. And they are saying it is keeping a physical medium, but I doubt it will be UMD, sadly. I also read about something called Playstation Suite, which is some sort of Playstation Store app for Android. But at this early point it's hard to tell what info is legitimate.
Personally, I'm hoping we see a lot more compatibility between Portable and PS3, allowing perhaps more of a merging between the casual and hardcore player. I however hope to see evolution of the Mobile platform in a positive way, I don't wanna see PSP2 become a cell phone. I want it to still be a seperate playable platform without too much emphisis on competing with iPhone and Android platforms. They need to continue doing the things PSP did well, while adding new features which draw in other players in other markets. And I want them to crush that damn 3DS. I mean DS isn't a bad platform, I just want them to crush the gimmicks with raw power and good games. And I'm hoping this generation kind of evolves the mobile game again, like how PSP did it the first time, making legitimately good games that would be good on consoles accessable on the move. But this time I wanna see the capabilities of these new games grow even more. And dare I say it, Original Okami port with touchscreen? Come on, make it happen. Also, Marcus needs to be used more. PSP2 needs a hero, a balla, and someone who doesn't wear a clip on tie.
