Rumor: PSP2 is 'f*cking powerful', has dual cameras and touchscreen |
Listed in: PSP Tags: PSP2, rumor, Sony
Ó

Following rumors of the PSP2 appearing at E3, some further "details" have reportedly been uncovered regarding the long-rumored Sony handheld.
You'll notice that "details" are in quotes, but that's just because none of the following info have been verified by Sony yet. Nevertheless, here's what gaming blog VG247 dug up:
- MCV rumoured last week that Sony “could” announce PSP2 at E3.
- VG247 goes digging. According to a source familiar with the matter, it’s “99 percent” it isn’t an E3 reveal.
- Multiple British sources have confirmed that PSP2 NDAs have been in place at publishers and developers for many months.
- PSP2 has two cameras, one forward and one backward facing.
- It has a touch-screen, but apparently it has retained the trademark physical PlayStation buttons.
- UK sources were previously working towards a “2010″ release. This is now “2011″.
- One source would be “amazed” if there was any kind of physical media involved. We’ve been told it “could” be 3G-enabled, as opposed to the WiFi-only PSP go. This bit was sketchy.
- Multiple PSP2 games are being made in Britain right now. Some have even already been canned.
- There have been “finished units” in the UK, but we haven’t spoken to anyone that’s seen a final case.
- When asked directly about reveal timing, one source said, “If the games were aiming for end 2010, beginning 2011, and now it’s a 2011 release, I’d say a gamescom or TGS announce for launch early next year”.
- One source told us the machine is “f*cking powerful,” being based on a four-core Cell CPU. PS3 runs on an eight-core version.
Remember, this is a rumor. Rumor rumor rumor. Can't stress that enough.

The only thing thats true is that "Sony could announce PSP2 at E3". Just as they "could" announce PS4 and PS5.

But seriously WOW what a machine, it must be very big though, hopefully not as big as a Sega Game Gear was, as it would look like a brick.
As long as it has nice size screen / screens with touch screen.
Hopefully Sony will do us proud, with twin analogue nubs.

1.. 2..

If the first revision is the same size of the Phat or even the Slim, then I would definitely get it, but if its much bigger than the Phat I'll wait for the Slim version.

It has four ears, two for listening and two "are sort of back-up ears". Some might be on the inside of its head
It has a retractable leg so it can leap up at you better
It has magnets on its tail, so if you're made out of metal, it can attach itself to you
It lights up at night
It has a tremendous fear of stamps
Its yawn sounds like Liam Neeson chasing a load of hens around inside a barrel
It has no mouth, but instead has four arses
It only has eyebrows on Saturdays
It lives on the place where there should be moors
It is the size of a jaguar [the cat not the car]

Cell technology has also improved somewhat, too, so I don't see half the console being taken up by a battery anytime soon.

that would be damn powerfull!! you could if it is hackable make it run windows.

Not well but darned if they did it and you can see it on youtube.
I wish somebody would just make a fucking keyboard for dosbox though and I'd be fine.

Synching an external keyboard to the PSP?
Lol, no thanks.
Lugging around a keyboard isn't exactly what I had in mind. I might as well run dosbox on an MSI or something.
I was thinking more along the lines of a on screen pop up keyboard that you can navigate through.
The C64 emu has one, which also makes it the most usable of the old OS emulators IMO.
In fact I find it kind of irritating that sony didn't use one like that on the psp's own OS instead of that clunky cell phone style input.
But thanks for the heads up though. Interesting project.

Damn right!

200 watts? Sony blamed the cell processor.
Besides the cell is difficult to program for, meaning less minis and games.
Software is the issue.
the web browser could be faster.
It could support more codecs for video.
burnout looked amazing on the psp.
we just need to push the psp to the limits. modnation looks horrible on the psp.
The PS3 is still being pushed.

Also backwards compatibility with all PSP games.

Might as well. british game devs blow chunks almost across the board.
BTW: That render pic doesn't look like it would fit in your pocket.
Karl B's gonna have to carry it in his purse.

Heh, no way it'll look like that. Personally, I love the cool angular look: it hearkens back to some of the older sci-fi stuff, but for some reason everybody wants everything super sleek and super smooth these days.
Also I would say there's no way that Sony would be stupid enough to make the next system with NO nubs when everybody has been clamoring for a second one. I would say that, but I've been surprised at the stupidity that Sony is capable of lately, which brings me to my next point:
I'm pretty sure the next psp will flop. Sony just doesn't have the same level of goodwill with their customer base that they used to. They've been charging too much (ps3, pspgo), not supporting enough (pspgo) and basically giving their customers the bird (no umd export to pspgo, removing otheros).
I might be wrong and the psp2 might be a commercial success, but I sure as hell won't be buying one.

kind of curios what the grafics will look like
but if this thing really is that powerful then
we can expect ps2 games portable but i only
speculate this.....
hope this thing gets hacked. but i already get a scent of homebrew and emulators.

Ps2 native emulator
And ill buy. Doesnt need any new games.
(of course, a way to hack and play any ps2 iso, also)

My guess is that it will more than likely use some sort of modified or enhanced Texas Instruments OMAP processor. Due to the face that 90% of smart phones using them. Which makes it easy to acquire large quantity's of them at a low cost.
