New PSP2 pics and info [56k ZOMG]

The design stays pretty close to the PSP Go, which is not a bad thing. As people have already stated, the biggest change needed right now is to switch the analog stick positions with those of the D-pad and the face buttons.

R2 and L2 buttons would not hurt either, but I am not entirely sure where they could place those without making the handheld too bulky.Can someone tell me what the rear trackpad is used for? Perhaps that could somehow replace the function of the R2 and L2 buttons?

That is the one place where the 3DS falls flat on its face.

Sky-

except that it has it's touch screen which can act as a 2nd analog.

From my experience, the touch screen isn't the best substitute for the second analog either. Have you played Metroid Prime Hunters? I found it really hard to use the stylus to control where Samus was looking and I imagine it would be the same situation on the 3DS for other first person titles as well as other games with an adjustable camera.

only buttons that matters when you're using 2 analog sticks are the shoulder ones. Unless you magically grow a third hand, it's not like the face buttons matter when you have your thumbs taken.

So again not much difference to me between this

and this

beside one being physical and the other one virtual obviously. I don't see the advantage of one over the other here.

And those complaining about Prime Hunter because of the stylus, how about using the thumbstrap instead. They could easily make something to wear on your thumb without having it attached to the system too which would be even better. Or better yet just use your thumb period, I'm sure the 3DS will be better than the DS with that. And even if it isn't, like I said above it's easily fixed by having a little bit of plastic stuck below your thumb. Man that's harsh.

Hunter wasn't anything like the image above either. Used the whole touch screen and you had to reach the center of the screen. Also had to reach buttons on the far left of the screens if I remember correctly which was a pain.

I have my DS right in front of me right now. I imagine playing something like in the screen above and I see absolutely no problem with it. And my DS is the bulkier Phat one too.

You're a poet and ya didn't even know it. :P

But seriously, folks, i really hope this doesn't come out at the same time as the 3ds. That would be a heartbreaking decision.

If they come out the same day then I'm going with Sony. I've never gone wrong with Sony before and Nintendo has been great to me until they came out with the Wii. Regardless I'll get a 3ds, but if released on the same day I'll be first in line to grab a PSP2.

[QUOTE="GulliversTravel"]Was hyped, but then i saw it has no physical media slot:(Luxen90

Well duh :P

Anyway the mock-up looks great.

[QUOTE="Blabadon"][QUOTE="Luxen90"] It's not the final product, notice how there's nothing that show you can charge it ;)lbjkurono23

It would be a good idea imo, faster loading and consumes less battery than a disc.

Cant they use SD memory for the games?

Sony always uses their own proprietary memory cards for their devices (unfortunately), so i would be surprised if they used SD or micro SD for games...

Its a handheld. To me, it has nothing to do with power and graphics and everything to do with games. When Sony unveils it, show me the games, not the graphics.

PSP has good games but that is literally all I care about in a handheld. I have other things that can do what those systems will inevitably try. I care simply about games. Otherwise why would I be interested in getting one? The PSP2 needs to have good games suitable to handheld play when it unveiled, if it doesn't I won't consider it.

Muramasa is really fun, I am enjoying what i have played of it.

WOW! dual analogue sticks... I might just be able to play PSP now! Trackpad, HD screen etc.. I'm amazed!

I might get it when sony announces the price and all the details.

Someone posted a thread with some of those pics yesterday and the source said they were mockups. So nothing to get excited about yet.ForsakenWicked

I stated their unofficial pictures in the op :)

No UMD slot?

If it's anything like the PSP Go, it's going to be a pirates dream.

The 3ds will dominate the psp 2.

PSP2 looks great, I don't think the other part of the world is ready for digital only so there should be some kind of physical format.

That thing looks smexy.

I dont like how the buttons and the analog sticks look.

looks cool

looks like an over clocked psp go with an exta nob . i think i will pass on this so far .
