    Well its very very early days so dont expect a lot quite yet PSP comes out in March and thats when the other big titles will be released.

    Im getting Need For Speed Rivals next (Feb17th) but there are a few other decent games out at the moment (theres a golf game, and an anime Fighter one).

    One to watch is mercury which early opinion says will be brilliant, also Wipeout Pure - theyre both out in March too. Theres about 200 games scheduled for release so far but I havent gone through the list yet properly.

    yeah mercury looks brilliant. Its releasing soon enough isnt it? I heard it went gold a few weeks ago


  • Registered Users Posts: 861 ✭✭✭yawnstretch


    Yeah I heard it went gold too - but I still reckon it wont be out till March :(
    - have you seen the videos!!! :p sweeeeeet


    I love certain types of 3d puzzle games - and I reckon this will be well addictive (and totally new) - hope they get that peripheral sorted tho...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,951 ✭✭✭L5


    It seems strange if its finished then why wont they release it soon, id of thought if its not being released till march that they would work on it for a while more.

    They probably want it to coincide with US release or something like that? There's all kind of marketing reasons really. For example Microsoft tend to time big releases to when the highest quantity of X-Box Live users are up for renewal. And if the software is finished it's finished, tinkering and adding stuff in because you have more time is a surefire way to introduce bugs/ruin the balance etc. Developers are probably moving onto a new project.

    Death Jr., when it's out, looks set to be prreeeeeetty nifty.

    Viewtiful Joe has been announced for it aswell.


  • Registered Users Posts: 861 ✭✭✭yawnstretch


    Snoop - if I understand you correctly you're asking whether the Japanese PSP plays English games? Yes, it does. The PSP is region free for games.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,639 ✭✭✭[nicK]


    Snoop - if I understand you correctly you're asking whether the Japanese PSP has an English language option? Yes, it does.

    After loading, the psp asks you to choose between a japanese and english language option for the menus. Some games also have this option.

    has any one played metal gear acid [is it only in japanese


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,225 ✭✭✭Ciaran500


    Yep, Japanese only.


  • Registered Users Posts: 861 ✭✭✭yawnstretch


    Actually I was watching some MGA videos on the PSP and although the game system is changed it actually looks kind of cool - that said it is in Japanese so there's no way - but I think I may have been a bit harsh on it.

    Look up some videos - I think maybe they made it that way because you dont have two analogues? Anyway - I think Ill reserve Judgement till I've played it - but the 'card game' comments may hurt the sales of this game quite a bit. Pity - looks different and slightly good.

    Personally I detest card games or traditional board game systems directly imported into videogames - and the only RPG I really enjoyed was FF7 so turn based play aint my cuppa cocoa, but we'll see.

    yeah 300 is a good price for that.
    Having said that prices should fall before the end of the week, Sony are announcing details of US release date tomorrow.
