So Sony, when will we be able to play PSP games on the PS3? On the PS4 or perhaps the PS3-PEST edition (Play Everything Sony Trio).
There's my hope and dreams to play PSU portable and DJ Max on a standard controller. #pspgo

No, but you can pick up Arakune and mash bugs out to win. #blazblueportable

Or you can pick Rachel and spam lightning rods.
Or you can pick Bang or Hakumen and mash counter.
Cry more, it's called l2p. #blazblueportable

All those don't work on good players. Arakune mashing bugs works against people of all levels. #blazblueportable

None of those*
terrible grammar on my part #blazblueportable

Also, the pads support every button for PS1 games, and you can connect 2 pads simultaneously for multiplayer. It's essentially a perfect PS1 experience in your pocket.

-long throw break window (~8 frames?, fastest poke is 5 frames. you can basically poke out of any throw making it useless outside of carl's clap trap. there is also throw break buffering which makes throws even more useless [except against people who mash recovery and terrible scrubs, who you really don't even need to throw to win]... Read More
-slow pokes (going back to the 4-5 frame poke thing. you can basically jump out of every mix-up or pressure string since pokes are so slow. also making you be able to block 90% of attacks without fd in the air without tension means even scrubs can jump out of any pressure string, unlike in gg you would have a risk/reward of losing tension and eating meaty anti airs if you tried to jump out of shit
-3 way roll (another way to help scrubs who don't know how to block oki wakeup games by removing it completely)
-zoning (top tier characters are too good at zoning and pressure except carl[who will fucking kill you off a 5a], whereas most of the cast can only do shit once they up close. either make pure zoning characters or pure rushdown. characters with both will obviously unbalance game
-There are lots more character specific shit that I don't feel like getting into.
I wouldn't say roster size is the only flaw... #blazblueportable

I really expected a more elegant solution from Sony than some macguyvered AV cable. #pspgo

I have been wondering the same thing.
Spending 30 bucks on a game that has lower graphics but is a fulla nd complete game that i can just d/l and go would be such a novelty to have and it must be possible.
The only reason i can for see is that they dont want to hinder hardware sales but even then i would be a bit more pushed to purchase one especially if i could take my game and the game saves on the go with me #pspgo

I do have a solution for this, but no doubt people would complain about it too. A compatibility firmware "unlock" fee which would be the cost of buying a PS2 to unlock a type of firmware PS2 bc on a PS3, the same for PSP compatibility at the same cost of buying a PSP. #pspgo

Option. #pspgo

Either that, or Sony just wants to nickel and dime everybody as much as every other business in the world does. #pspgo

It's probably a legal headache and possibly a little scary for marketing too. #pspgo

It's ridiculous that I have to re-purchase my games to play a crappier iteration that's portable. At least release them as a set if the content is similar.
If I can purchase and download old PS2 and PSone games to play on my PS3 and PSP, why not PSP games? It makes no sense. #pspgo
11/04/09
This whole cable thing is a joke. Why can't you just plug your PSP via USB to your PS3 and play it? Why aren't downloadable PSP games playable via my PS3 directly? These are features that would be huge. #pspgo

@jomama22: You seem cranky. #pspgo

It's not a troll comment, it's based on my experience in the field.Just because it's a PR instigated piece doesn't make it invalid ... good public relations means that valid, useful information is provided to the public that is interested in that information. Journalists often rely on PR info to start very valid stories to inform their readership of pertinent information. Something being "PR" doesn't automatically make it bad.
Your post shows ignorance in the field. Attacking me in such a vitriolic way shows your immaturity. #pspgo

The PSP's hardware doesn't offer that much flexibility in terms of pixel-level rendering, unfortunately. That's also a reason why Valkyria Chronicles 2 on the PSP doesn't have the celshaded style of the first game (they didn't even implement at least outlines). #blazblueportable

I picked up a gamecube gameboy player for about a fiver, it was a great investment if only for Metroid fusion and Zero mission. #pspgo

That makes me glad I didn't end up buying it then. I can't even pick up Street Fighter IV, do Street Fighter-like moves and win. #blazblueportable

You can charge buffer and charge partition to throw sonic booms faster than fireballs. #blazblueportable
