PSP Assassin's Creed, LittleBigPlanet, MotorStorm On The Way

Destination PlayStation? More like Destination PlayStation Portable AM I RIGHT!?!?!?

So at this point do they call it LittlerBigPlanet?
So at this point do they call it LittlerBigPlanet?
Joystiq has a few more reports from this morning's session at the retailer conference known as Destination PlayStation, which is currently underway in Arizona. Sounds like Sony is devoting time to the PSP so far, adding to the announcement of Rock Band Unplugged with news that the LittleBigPlanet franchise is heading to the PSP later this year.

Ubisoft will be delivering an Assassin's Creed game on the PSP sometime in 2009, and Sony along with BigBig Studios are doing an arctic-themed MotorStorm for the PSP and PS2 called MotorStorm: Arctic Edge.

Oh, and they're doing a Hannah Montana PSP bundle in July. Finally, some news and views that I can use!

LBP, great for some, I hope it controls better than the PS3 game.

Assassin's Creed, sweet, maybe a God of War quality game, but with stealth in mind.

Motorstorm? Come on, racing is an oversaturated genre on the PSP ever since its launch.

psp is fail, i had high hopes but it gets crushed by ds in terms of units sold, i would play it alot before. Now i never touch my psp EVER, my sister gave me her ds awhile ago to keep, i played through phantom hourglass and never touched it again.

for me i would rather see both sony and nintendo focus and divert there resources to making NEW portables that are better

everyone talks about how psp is such a great system with homebrew and shit, but the main reason people like CFW is for piracy

truth is i baught a few psp games, but i pirated 2. I played those 2 games for a few hours and deleted them

i haven't found a psp game worth purchasing or even waisting my time on. IMO the only psp games that were really funare LUMINES 1, gta lcs, vcs

You have absolutely no idea how any of these games are going to play.

Hm... I broke my DS (It still works most of the time, but I think it's going to die here shortly) a little while ago and I was considering upgrading to a DSi, but maybe I'll pass on that and pick up a PSP instead... we'll see.

you can play any game up to the Nintendo 64 on the PSP. YouTube for the win. freakin downloaded movies, porn, random Japanese games, regular games, i freakin love that little piece of machinery. if you know what you're doin and have a many-gig memory card, its a compact gift from God himself. if you dont know what you're doin its a boring experience with barely any games and game discs that you actually have to carry around.

FINALLY!
I've been feeling guilty ever since I brought my psp, because there was no games.
Hell I even loaded a GBA emulator and played GBA games on my psp.
Now some decent games are here.
I'm interested to see how Assasins Creed will turn out, I'm hoping for a clone of the Xbox360/PS3 release except with crappy graphics. I wonder how Rock Band will turn out, I don't really see how they could make a good game without doing the type of thing that Guitar Hero did on the DS.

I just knew LBP was in the works, but AC and Motorstorm are a surprise.


When someone at the Liverpool studios was asked about a LBP psp, a smile said it all really.

Seriously, 2 people actually felt the need to give me 2 negatives because I don't like the PSP, find the games meh and the same for those mentioned!  Some people! 


 As an owner of 2 PSP and 40+ games, I kind of think I am entitled to an opinion - a personal opinion.  The PSP is a good concept poorly executed, by Sony and most of the developers.  There isn't a single reason I could recommend one to anyone who asked.

You are totally right.  If I had a handheld device, I would totally have a PSP because they put out games that I would want to play, unlike the DS.

It wasn't Oblivion, it was Elder Scrolls Travels: Oblivion. Elder Scrolls Travels game are a sort of semi-series all on their own. This would be the generational equivalent of the less-publicized past games on the N-Gage and some Java-phone-platforms.

This is brilliant news for the PSP. I think that games such as Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty 4 doesn't carry over the visual charm when they are ported to the DS, but if it was built on the PSP it'll work better.

I can see LittleBigPlanet translating to the PSP well (possibly, depending on how the graphics/user created content stuff works). I can see Motorstorm pulling off the PSP/PS2 okay. I can't see Assassains Creed doing good on the PSP, though.


I will buy five copies of LBP PSP if it's a good port job. MM already has my heart (and my wallet), can't hurt to give them more cash. :(

Assassins Creed and Motorstorm will probably be fine, but I doubt that the PSP can host a competant version of Little Big Planet. The screen is too small, and without the next gen sheen Little Big Planet will just be another platformer, albeit with a level editor. I mean, I just can't see the PSP handling the physics engine.

I think I'm the only one here pleased with the PSP games out already, Final Fantasy, Monster Hunter, Dungeon Siege, Tales of the World, Star Ocean 1&2.  This is certainly good news regardless though.

Count me meh'd.  I have yet to have even one of my 40+ PSP games get me in.  As was said elsewhere, they all come across as poor cousins.  Much like a dumbed down port on the Wii.  Not even Final Fantasy Tactics and Disgaea could get me to love my 2 PSP, and they rank way above what has been mentioned for me.


The PSP is the worst handheld ever (actually, probably not the worst, but close).  It looks pretty but has no soul.

Couldn't be happier @ this announcement. I bought my Madden bundle back on Black Friday, and I love it.  I wish I'd never sold my original 'phat' PSP.  The PSP is an amazing device, and it really needs the boost.

That is an awesome idea. I don't know how Assassin's Creed would work on ONE analog stick, but as long as it isn't the type in Altair's Chronicles, it should be cool. Count me in.
