Topic: PSP's "Original Titles"

[Renny]

Because they said it wouldn't be a 'port machine.' And look at their flagship game.... I don't have a problem with ports, I just don't buy them.

[Bill Aurion]

I don't recall that at all...

If Nintendo can do simple ports, and no one complains, why can't Sony do the same?

If Sony is doing connectivity with PSP and PS2 why arent people complaining, since everybody complained about Nintendo doing connectivity.

"Nintendo ports numerous games to Gmaeboy Advance and DS, and no one complains."

Ahaha, you must be joking...I think I'm the only user here that DOESN'T complain about ports... :\

That's because it's Sony and the mainstream media will perpetuate (sp) the idea that if Sony does it, then it was either first done by Sony, or done better.  I for one have no immediate desire for a PSP, no games say "Buy me." and the idea of the connectivity between the PSP and PS2 and possibly PS3 is that the games will be nothing short of the same exact game, where you can transfer game data from one system to the other and pick up where you left off in either.  I find that more lazy than Nintendo porting old(er) games from their previous systems, because they are no perpetuating the idea that you are buying something new and different.

So what I am saying is, basically "Nintendo did it first, but Sony is going to get the credit for it because they own the mainstream media"

[Bill Aurion]

No, what I got out of Nitsu's statement is that the MEDIA is the one that is biased, which is absolutely true...

[nitsu niflheim]

I'm not biased.  I own a PS2 and a XBox.  And if you or anybody else is going to quote something I say or anybody else for that matter, at least quote the entire sentence and not pick part of it to conform to what you want to say.  as you said:

The media is not dumb?  That is a dumb statement.  The media will do whatever their sponsor says is the right thing to say.

Nintendo Gameboy Advance has been poting NES and Super NES games for several years now.

Just for sh!ts and giggles  I want you to name all the ports released (I could be a bitch and say non-enchnaced, but eh, I still win) versus the original titles released on the GBA. and please omit stuff like Madden 2005 GBA edition and crap like Soccer Kid, since Sports games would load the list and Soccer Kid just sucks, Use your judgement.

I think you will see what I'm talking about.  If you had just said "Nintendo" releases ports all over the place, you might have had a point, but they releases lots of original GBA titles too, even if scrubs ignore them and shout "port!  OMG PORT," but you said the GBA, And I know for a fact that Capcom has released 7 original titles under Megaman ALONE.

And the PSP deservingly gets called a port machine because it will not even port old games that some people might have missed.  They are released practically identical versions of the same games released on the PS2.  And I hope they don't act all surprised when their sales get cannibalized.

Well, they release a hardware that is very similar to the PS2 and is very easy to port to, if they complain about too many ports and too little genuine effort put into the games I'll point and laugh at them.

[LUEshi]

They are original because they arent ports.

[KDR_11k]

Their flagship game is GT4, which IS a port. Maybe with slight alterations to suit the hardware better, but still.

[nitsu niflheim]

yep, the people doing GT4 already said that the PSP version of GT is basically a port of GT4.

[KDR_11k]

Sony wants you to play GT4 at home with the wheel and GT4 at work with the PSP. They offer you to transfer your saves between both versions. I wonder why there was no backlash like the "500$ FFCC" claims, after all Sony is expecting you to pay twice for the game.
