are u considering the psp? it's got some good fighters lined up for portable play..

[geek4u]

anyone here considering to get a psp? there are good fighters headed its way.. alpha3 upper, GGX judgement, (already out) dark stalkers. im just not sure about the d-pad and if it can withstand all the thumb work..especially geif's 360s

[graffiti_sex]

3 fighters is nowhere near "a good lineup".


Lemme know when Soul Calibur or Virtual Fighter are on PSP, and I'll pay some attention.

[geek4u]

well yeah i know that, but i mean if more and more (good fighters) are headed to it, would u consider getting it?

[TGC]

Still a hell no. The fact doesn't change it's a portable, so fighters isn't the best genre for it.

[geek4u]

do u just play serious all the time? what ever happened to playing for fun on long trips?? i didnt make this thread asking u if you considered the psp for serious gaming competition wise or anything.. i meant for fun since its got some fighters coming to it already. thats what i meant if u misunderstood.

They just say "no" becuase they think it's cool. They know they'd buy a fighter if they had a psp

[{PFH}-Lake]

I dont need a psp

[Time_Stop]

There´s also Bleach and KOF:MI. GGJudgement comes with full #Reload, too.

[SiLLiEMutAfuKA]

Eh fighters on portables always felt weird for me, I never got used to it.

If I got a portable I'd defeintely not buy fighters for it, maybe some action/RPG games.

[angelslayer13]

yeah one of the reasons that Im buying a psp is because thats probably gonna be the last maintsream outlet 2d games will have, I mean do you think capcom is gonna develope any 2d fighter for the 360 or ps3 NO WAY.

[bbq sauce]

I played Dark Stalkers on my fried's PSP, it feels weird.. I might consider it if a PSP wasn't 250 dollars.

[strakka]

Someone tell me when they put 3s onto PSP and how they managed to create a portable arcade-perfect joystick, and I'll consider buying one!! :tup:

Until then, I'd rather get a PDA with Wi-Fi.

[NapaSelect]

Fighting games on Neo Geo Pocket Color = kick ass

on PSP = good, but d-pag sucks

[Time_Stop]

If you people prefer playing shitty-ass GBA games over quality fighters on a portable that can actually do arcade-perfect ports, your choice.

The question should be "do you think Sony and Microsoft are going to allow developers to release shitty-looking, old-ass 2d fighters for the HIGH-DEFINITION 360 and ps3?"

The PSP is the only place where 2D fighters will stay alive. Get on with the times, or see the genre die.

[P. Gorath]

I would consider it if:
1. web browser/messenger/email capability without hacks
2. King's Field is released

[TGC]

Whether it's serious competition or fun wise, you'll either need another person to play with, with a psp and the same game, or you'll play the computer.

I don't see how 2d will stay alive with a 3d compatible system, especially when fighters are non-existant in the US as it is. When you don't have many psp is the US, and even less fighting game fans, you're not gonna get that big of numbers anyways, i don't hate the psp for no reason, i just don't think 2d fighters alone are worth it.

And about long trips, yea it would be good, but whenever i go on a trip, we bring a small tv, with a AC adapter, so i can just play w/e system i have.

The only real feature i see with a psp is after hacking it or buying memory sticks, when i already have other equipment that can do that, and much more, called a laptop.

See, I (as in ME ALONE) have no reason to buy one so why should I? Maybe you guys do, but i don't that's why i said i will never buy one. That's me though, end of discussion, stupid reason to get into a flame war.

[DeathScythe]

I just got the Bleach game yesterday. Interesting little game we have here. I'm so used to QCFs and diagnols(Tekken) that I can't press X X X X forward Circle for the life of me. But in due time I'll get used to it. Nice graphics and it has the first opening theme of the series.

[angelslayer13]

hopefully 2d fighters will pick up some steam on the psp. That little nub isnt so bad when you get used to it.

[The Demon]

If I am correct on this, and I probably am..the PSP D-pad is pretty much the same as the PS2 controllers d-pad, and that dpad is actually well liked in the fighting community, in tekken for example controllers are allowed at tourneys and A LOT of top players prefer pads over sticks.


This post was in response to the person who said PSP d-pad sucks.

[white shadow]

Dual Blades > All those portable fighters.:cool:

[RagingStorm101]

I just got bought a PSP very recently (like two weeks ago) and I think fighting games would be great for PSP. Why? Think about it: what's PSP's gimmick? To provide short, portable gaming. How the hell can you play an RPG while you're traveling somewhere where you constantly need to turn it back and forth or put it away? A fighter solves that because you only need to pause and you can always go back to where you came from.
Now about the D-Pad...it's actually NOT the same as PS2 imo. I was actually trying out the D-pad to see if I could do the same motions as my PS2 pad. It actually feels a little different because the pad does not "stick out" as much and therefore is less responsive. However, I do not know because I have not played any of these fighters yet. The only problem is that playing Capcom fighters will be like playing on DC; I can't stand the fact that RH and FP are on the opposite sides as opposed to R1 and R2.
Since we're talking about PSP...does anyone know the range of the Wi-Fi? How far can you go to detect another PSP? And do you have to have the same game?

time_stop already said it but #R comes with judgement. this should be reason enough to buy a psp.

[MeanGreen]

psp is awesome as far as overall value i mean you can put videos pictures music games are awesome lumines twisted metal darkstalkers wipeout ridge racer hot shots right now all i play is ds though they have the hot games right now meteos ownz

[CptMunta]

Man I'll probably end up get one maybe next year or so once theres a bit of a price drop and theres more quality titles for it. I hate it when you have a powerful machine and only a few good games for it.

Aplha 3 I am praying has the World tour mode, that would be helluva lotta fun on the road. making Yun a kiling machine.

Portable fighters are alot of fun especially the survival modes. I'll never give up my GBA. My girlfriend would kill me if she couldnt play puzzle fighter or Wario

[Omerta]

I traded in my DS for a PSP a few days ago. However, despite popular belief and the critical ravings of most gaming sites/mags, the Dpad and stick suck for fighters. Seriously, the GBASP has a better Dpad than the PSP. It’s no wonder EB didn’t have a floor model; everyone would realize what a fragile pile of crap this thing is.

I want my DS back. Now.

[Shodokan123]

i got a PSP from the pyramid thing.

Glad i did cause i played alpha 3 against my friend every day during 3 periods of the day.

Now that you mention it, you're right, no where i've been have i seen a floor display of a psp, and i mean NO WHERE.

[SlaughterX]

I would never buy a handheld for fighting games, not to mention almsot all of the fighters on the PSP I already have in one form or another, there is no reason for me to buy a PSP yet, and there won't be until there is at least one decent game I think I need to own, so far I don't see any on the horizon...

[nothingxs]

Let me know when 3rd Strike gets ported to the PSP.
