"PSP Full Auto 2 better than next-gen Full Autos." PSP resurgent? |
Ó
That's almost saying something right there in the title alone. Let's set aside the fact that our source article is from PSP Fanboy (where the name of the site alone gives the game away for them). The source article itself is a metareview comparing IGN/1UP/Gamespot reviews of the PSP Full Auto 2 to, well, the 360 and PS3 versions. The gist is that the PSP Full Auto was weighed - and it was the next-gens that were found wanting.
It looks like Sega's support of PSP is just starting... It's clear that the development team behind the PSP version of the game simply cares more about gamers. The original Full Auto didn't get the best reviews, but looking at all the new content in the PSP version, it looks like the franchise's best will appear on the handheld.
You want to know what's probably so significant about this? It's not that "the next-gens were found wanting" compared to the PSP title (which warrants an O&A piece in and of itself) but PSP Fanboy's suggestion that "It looks like Sega's support of the PSP is just starting." A few months ago, post-TGS, there were a couple of (however you want to call them) who decided to declare that "The PSP has failed" because it didn't have the presence in TGS that "that other handheld" did.
Perhaps there's a reevaluation of sentence going on between those two. You can always read up on Pranav's retrospective on the PSP homebrew scene to get that angle's take on Sony's little handheld that could. On the official side, we've seen some really good and varied stuff release for the PSP. Old standbys like casual games (e.g., Lumines), to newer standouts like GTA, Portable Ops, Skies of Deception, just mentioning my favorites. PSOne emulation (unless you're into the homebrew equivalent). Don't forget those titles on the horizon that are making all the dogs howl (two words come to mind: FINAL FANTASY).
Then, as PSP Fanboy says, "It looks like Sega's support of the PSP is just starting." Maybe the jury's still out on the resurgence of the PSP, but we can bet heck on this, that whether you're into homebrew or the official stuff, the horizon's looking better for the PSP. Maybe there won't be a price drop (not yet anyway) to look forward to, but let's hope that developers and brewers both craft up content worthy of the price tag attached to the handheld that could (and will...).

saying its better than the ps3 version and the 360 version is like saying its gonna be a 6.0 lol
you guys are on *****ing crack... what the hell
this whole post was just to gay for me to care.
i honestly felt that burnout revenge was better for PSP than for my 360, so maybe this is the same type of thing. graphics wise, hell no, but it was almost the same gameplay and i could take it with me and play easily
I think compared to the hype and how confident Sony was, the PSP has failed to meet the player's needs on time. Also the DS has done a much better job delivering unique and fun games at a constant rate. Final Fantasy alone could've sold the PSP early on, but its to late for that now with next gen consoles coming out and turning heads. People have given up hope on the PSP ever becoming what Sony had made it to be, and that is to be #1. But there are still some great games coming on the PSP, and its not like Sony hasn't profited on the PSP. This just means they'll make it better.....hopefully (don't do another $600 price tag thing or you just might end up like Sega)
The DS delivers Unique and Fun games...but I've played them and they keep my attention for like 5 minutes. After 5 minutes I put it down and go...wait...I'm not 5 years old, where's my PSP?
Offcourse full auto got 6.5 fair on xbox 360. First of all its a very dull looking game, Driving unrealistic full speed the whole time is annoying, the game has a problem with playing custom music aswell. And the frame rate goes down with some explotions which is annoying. Fix those two thing and it would have gotten a better score but for me that score justifies what it is. Strait forward racing that gets so boring after a while. and as for the psp version.....i dunno tiny screen i could almost see nothing infront of me on a xbox 360 when your driving that speed i bet its gona be *****ing annoying!

PSP lived up to and exceeded the hype. You'd know this if you've actually played any of it's games.
DS's libary composes of little more than glorified tech demos. I honestly could not imagine paying only $10 less than a PSP game, for such low quality garbage in terms of crippled down gameplay, crippled down audo, crippled down graphics, crippled down multiplayer and crippled down controls.
if you write anything pro DS your not gonna get positive feedback here(PSP Update). Thats how it works i guess.
How simple can you get?
Psp games are not rated the same way as say a 360 game. Take the review of Zelda: TP... the GC version has a greater score or 0.1... Not becuase it is better than the Wii version, because it is technically superior to most other GC games.
Ratings can not be compared throughout catagories (consoles). Unless the systems are practically technically identicle.

Burnout Revenge wasn't on PSP. That was Burnout LEGENDS. But yeah, still better.
