Brad, you have done a quick look without dying again. It is a victorious day.
 
Also, why'd you guys go silent during Jeff's first fight?

Kratos' voice actor was a survivor in FINAL DESTINATION 2. COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT!

huh, all those rounds, and not a single death
Who would have thought a Fighting Game would provide Brad with another shut-out from death.

Is this how the psp outputs on a television? With a PSP on screen? Or is this some production trickery to give us an idea of how the game will look on a psp?

Agreed, it's just pointless. We already know that this game is on the damn PSP >.<  Anyway, it looks...like a SoulCaliber game. So...pass. "
Who said they are trying to tell you its a PSP game? They already know that obviously, the reason why they do this is because scaling the game to full screen will result in the image being disoriented and pixelated, you don't want that do you? "
Actually I would rather have that, yeah.

Plays like Soul Calibur? Well that's enough for me to know that I don't want to play it.

I dunno about unlocking Kratos for character creation, but you sure as hell couldn't make Yoda or The Apprentice-style characters in SCIV.

The smearing photoshopping at the bottom right on your overlay really grinds my gears, guys.

It's definitely Soul Calibur for the PSP but I don't think I'd buy this game, it's just too close to Soul Calibur IV.

Did anybody else immediately think of Daniel Day-Lewis in Gangs of New York when first seeing the character Dampierre?

In case you haven't noticed, the PSP has only one "controller" of sorts per system, whereas the bigger consoles have more than one controller. "
Yes. I did notice that. Thanks so much for pointing out what I clearly already knew.

So, out of curiosity, what exactly is the basis of your complaint? It's not as if using only one PSP to play SC is possible unless it's some kind of bowling mini-game where you pass the system around per turn.

Pretty neat that they could fit SC4 on PSP
