[Coded-Dude]

The much speculated PSP2 has finally been shown at the 2011 Playstation Meeting. Codenamed NGP for Next Generation Portable, the NGP features include a Multi-touch OLED, two front and rear cameras, 3G and WiFi. The NGP power was also show with titles such as Metal Gear Solid 4 and Yakuza 4 being shown off that look close to their PS3 counterparts .

It may be as powerful as the PS3, but here is the question...

Will it have any games...unlike the PS3? lol

EA Games isn't listed?

[steelrain82]

this might be the psp i buy. i bought it when they first came out but coudnt get used to it. plus lack of games. nice dual joysticks.

[Coded-Dude]

EA will certainly support the platform...they are a multi-plat devs afterall.

I am really looking forward to this device, it delivers on everything they failed to do last gen, featurewise. Lets just hope that they can keep devs on board longer than they did with the original(good games got fewer and farther between these last few years).

[SnWnMe]

Now this I will buy. I don't need lots of shovelware like the DS has. I just want solid RPGs like they have for my slim PSP. Still holding onto my first gen PSP for the NES and SNES emus though!

[Coded-Dude]

there are rumors that the 3G enabled NGP will cost around $350 and the Wifi only version may cost $250

[SnWnMe]

I wonder who the carrier will be? I think Sony Ericsson is in bed with ATT though. I don't even have a 3G phone so I am cool with wifi only.

[Coded-Dude]

i got tired of fighting with the wifi hotspot setup on th original psp. it was mediocre at best. i don't have a cell phone at all, but will probably get the 3G enabled ngp.


on a side note white knight chronicles should be hitting the psp platform pretty soon(hopefully).

[SnWnMe]

I just got done loading up with RPGs for my upcoming deployment.
Disgaea 1
Valkyrie Profile
Tactics Ogre
Shin Megami Sensei Persona 3
and I'll also pick up Final Fantasy Dissidia 012
