Why won't Sega port PSP games to PS2?
« on: May 15, 2011, 08:56:42 am »
Seriously?

Valkyria Chronicles 2
Valkyria Chronicles 3
CRUSH

I'd even like to try Sonic Rivals :P

PS2 from what I've observed is actually more powerful than a handheld PSP, and the architecture isn't that far apart.

I would love to play crush on my big screen LCD (is it me or saying Plasma sounds so much better?).

PS2 isn't worth the investment anymore, that's why.

The games were also designed for a smaller screen, which means less polygons and texture resolution. A simple port as-is would look awful, and taking the time to improve it would be a waste given most territories don't focus on the system anymore (even if it's still selling).

I rather they allow PlayStation Portable games to be used on PlayStation 3, it would be simple, cut and dry, just let me purchase it on PSN (whenever that returns). During the hack it was learned that Sony set it all up, but never did it because they want to artificially extend the platform's life. Same with PlayStation 2.

I would be fine with spending just a bit more money on a game to have it work on all available platforms. Supposudly Microsoft is going to do this with small games that can work on Xbox 360/Games for Windows/Windows Phone 7, but I can understand that because no one knows what the last two are.

You can hook a PSP up to your TV.

Also, hackers have figured out how to play PSP games on the PS3.

Crush is getting remade for the 3DS. So... why bother?

Can you emulate PSP games yet?

TO GOOGLE!
http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/psp/

Seems like you might be able to.

Give it a shot, then you can buy CRUSH and play it on PC.

You can send me a cheque as thanks.

Sorry I meant Kujo, Zoe Mode's parent company.

Send them a letter, and then try and organize a petition if they respond to me.

Good luck with that. Come to think of it, Crush would make a nice XBLA/PSN game probably.
