Sony Announces “PSP Engine” For PS3 - TheSixthAxis- Topic: PSP News

Thursday, June 30th, 2011

It sounds like an emulator of sorts to be honest, but could be great, and hopefully we’ll see a few high profile PSP games on the way now. I remember them releasing GTA Liberty Stories and Vice Stories from PSP to PS2. Good, its the same path of Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD so hopefully more Japanese PSP games. Its the reason I have a PSP playing Dissida and Phantasy Star Portable 2 on the PS3 is a great thing so I would like to see that done.

'Makai Kingdom' Coming to PSP - Video Game Writers(PSP News)

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

Known as Phatom Kingdom in Japan (why they would change an English title to Japanese for an English release is beyond me), the game was originally released for the PS2 back in 2005, and follows the overlord Zetta as he tries to regain his body and rebuild the Netherworld. Gameplay bears many similarities to other NIS tactical RPGs such as Disgaea . NIS has a thing for re-releasing their PS2 hits on the PSP with a few updates and added features for on-the-go play, so it was really only a matter of time before they announced this one. Disgaea 4 will be released in the US on September 6, so it’s probable that this add-on pack will be available as DLC in the future. When she isn’t researching gender and sexuality in Japanese popular culture, she’s playing the quirkiest games she can get her hands on. read more

PSP News - PS3 Jailbreak Enables Remote Play with PSP on Many PS3 Games: Why Won't Sony … - Technabob (blog)

Tuesday, June 28th, 2011

You see, it turns out that one of the features that you can gain from jailbreaking the PS3 is Remote Play compatibility for many PS3 games, regardless if they’re officially supported or not. For those unfamiliar with the feature, Remote Play lets users interact with the PS3 and access some of its content on the PSP. I’m no tech expert but I think it works a lot like OnLive’s system ” the PS3 (wirelessly) streams video output to the PSP, and the PSP uploads button input on the same connection. Above is a screenshot from the video recording below, which shows YouTuber hackyourbabies playing Blur ” a game that does not have official support for Remote Play ” on a PSP. But I honestly don’t see why Remote Play, which Sony itself hyped at the beginning, isn’t being pushed more aggressively by the company and by PS3 game developers, especially given the PSP’s less-than-stellar sales. read more
