Sony: Resistance: Retribution PSP-PS3 connectivity is an added feature, not a US$ 60 cheat code |
Ó
Without PSP-Plus
Here's what he found out, based on his hands-on preview of the PSP-PS3 connectivity feature:
- The PSP-Plus feature will let you control the handheld game using the PS3 controller. Using this feature will disable the game-assist feature of Retribution, and will instead put on a PS3 schematic. More challenging this way, they say.
- Infected Mode
- Changes James Grayson's dialogue, infects him with an enemy Chimera virus, turns his eyes orange, provides him with a costume change
- Health-pack-oriented health system replaced with regen health ala Halo style
- Underwater-breathing capabilities
- New weapon HE .44 Magnum
- Cut-scenes changes according to the new dynamics of the team due to Grayson's infection
- Access to Chimera-locked doors and hidden areas and Intel
- more
With PSP-Plus
So. Do you think the PSP players are getting the shorter end of the stick? Sony says no, cos Retribution is already a full experience in itself. Even without the Infected Mode, you're already gonna get 12 hours of gameplay. Really, the PS3 connection is just an added feature.
Oh, and by the way, the Infected Mode can be a strategic tool for gamers out there. You can re-Infect yourself at any point in the game, and so possibly get you out of a tight spot if the scene calls for an Infected gameplay.
But really, these are just bonus features.

"So. Do you think the PSP players are getting the shorter end of the stick? Sony says no, cos Retribution is already a full experience in itself."
im not saying it isn't a good experience
most companies say that and faill
im pretty sure this will succeed as resistance rocks!
=================================
underwater breathing
wow.. im so jealous, like literally
Quote, "Using this feature will disable the game-assist feature of Retribution, and will instead put on a PS3 schematic."
Will this disablement be permanent??? like if you stopped using the ps3 controller, could you go back to having that "game assist" thingy??
the game assist thingy is dependent on whether or not you use the PSP-Plus feature. one of the things this does is to let you use the PS3 controller.
so i think if you want the game assist back, then you just disable the PSP-Plus when you use the PS3-PSP connectivity.
Right. Well I hope to god some smart hackers come along and keep this unlocked (just with PSP controls). I really don't like the sound of having to buy a PS3 to "unlock" this game. No matter what Sony say, it's an unlock. That's what this is. As publishers they will try and make it sound otherwise.
Or I probably just won't get the game at all.
First they delete your files on a CFW, then they do this? I fell back in love with Sony but "***** is miz-behavin" again.
The only things infected mode ends up doing is givng the game itself a FPS type of style using dual analog sticks(from the sounds of it) and slight different changes.
It's not much of a difference that means the game won't be worth getting, so don't cry about it.
This stuff has happened throughout the gaming world for a very long time. Stop being a bunch of hypocritical pussies because it's now Sony doing it. I mean we have dumbass morons bashing Sony just because it's the in thing now when the company is trying to make its systems better
So yeah. Let's see. The Suikoden series. You have Suikoden 1 save data you can import it over to Suikoden 2 to unlock an extra bonus, same with Suikoden 2 to Suikoden 3.
Arc the Lad, if you live in Japan only since the series came bundled as Arc the Lad Collection in the US, had where you could import data from the second game, keeping all the levels and items retained from the first title, the only way to get certain items in the second title, like the Romancing Stone.
Pokemon Stadium. A game which the GB Pokemon titles are actually REQUIRED in order to get any mileage out of whatsoever. Without the GB titles you could say the games are worthless.
Dawn of Sorrow with Aria of Sorrow in the GBA slot gave you an item to start off with(rare ring I think.)
There are other games, but don't want to make some sortof huge wall of text just listing games that come with special bonus' or featues just to own them. The point is. It's a special feature that you're honestly not missing much if you don't own both games, so don't be a ***** about it.
