whoever's playing that game really sucks

Shut up. The PSP would be worse if we didnt buy these. Honestly, what wrng with having a bunch of retor games to put aside?

It's not so much that EA is joining the cash-in crowd and making a retro compilation, so much as that they're doing a really awful job about it. This trailer bored the hell out of me, to put it lightly - it could have been put together by any 12-year-old with a copy of kega fusion, the rom, and FRAPS; because all the trailer consists of is exactly what you'd see if you were to play the game yourself. While I admire the honesty, it really doesn't do much to make me want to buy the game.



Also, I would agree with number 7 - this really shouldn't exist unless it has some sort of extras to go with it. But even then, I won't be buying it, because these aren't the best versions of their respective games. For example: Road Rash was far better on PC than it was on Genesis. Same goes for Wing Commander and Ultima VII. I realize it'd be easier for them to "port" (read: slap a rom image and an open-source emulator on the UMD) from a console version than a PC game, but this is ridiculous.



And in the case of a game like Ultima VII: A game like that could actually work quite easily on the PSP, with some minor control modifications (like direct control over the Avatar instead of cursor-based movement, and possibly a Diablo II-style object locator). However, EA probably just wants to put the dumb, watered-down SNES version on the disc. No companions. No murders. Extremely simplified plot. I bet they even ripped out some of the most amusing bits (like conversing with Chuckles at Castle British, or the troupe of performers that are putting on a play about you).
