PSP 2: Proof sony don't listen to consumers.

Why does a handheld need dual analogue sticks? Heck, why does a handheld need an analogue stick in the first place?

If analogue sticks are so important, buy a gaming console. Handhelds should be for playing games that don't require complex control schemes. Like DJ MAX or Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles.

I know it isn't confirmed if it's even gonna be announced but most news outlets seem certain it is. I just can't understand how they can fail to put dual analogue sticks on it. This has been the most important piece of criticism about it since launch and they don't do anything about it. Just like the ps3 they think they know what's best for us, what we'll enjoy most and once again there wrong for the most part. It's sad a company can fail to hear out it's loyal fanbase. iLikeTheWoods

I guess they dont listen, since the last time people requested for duelshock 3 they actually made 1.. We havent seen a confirmed pic of it yet, so might aswell wait, and then judge sony... Because you never know you might be wrong.. ;)

Agreed. I think the single analog stick works fine for some games, but I still prefer the D-PAD. I don't think any handheld should be a mini-console.

The PSP Go!/4000 is *not* the PSP 2. That is why it a) has the exact same button configuration as the PSP and b) will only play PSP games.

this is more of a taste issue. if you want simple hand-held gaming buy a DS, If you want true 3d gaming on the go (like me) buy a psp. The thing is it would be considerably better if they could could just stick another analogue on the thing. iLikeTheWoods

i never said anything about a 'proper analogue stick', i just want another thumb-slider thing and them in a better position. consider the possibilities. FPS would be much better to play, third person games would be a helluva a lot better know i can control the camera simply rather then that infuriating shoulder button system, better inventory control etc.... All this could be possible on a portable system with that extra analogue stick. Just because a game is complex doesn't mean it can only be played on consoles. iLikeTheWoods

Why would a handheld need two analog sticks?

what would be so hard about adding configuration options? Take vice city stories. You can play it on the current PSP but i would enjoy it a lot better if i could have a dual analogue.iLikeTheWoods

The problem isn't adding configuration options, it's the fact that a game designed around a dual-analog PSP will inherently be better on said dual-analog PSP, resulting in 40-50 odd million pissed off users. People tolerate games like Syphon Filter, MGS: PO, SOCOM:FTB and Resistance: Retribution because they know there isn't an alternative to the ****ty controls. If there suddenly is an alternative, one that means a) I'll have to shell out $50-100 on trading in my PSP and b) my UMD games are now expensive paperweights, I (and no doubt thousands, if not millions of others) am going to trade in my PSP and games... for a brand new DS.

and this is what i was saying about it being a taste issue. you want play loco roco on the go, I want to play shooters on the go. You cant force someone to like certain genres. The DS is perfectly adapted for the kind of gaming you enjoy while the psp is well adapted for the gaming i enjoy. iLikeTheWoods

I don't enjoy games that actively use the touch screen either, like for MPH or the StartFox game.

DS's best games also don't use the touch screen too much.

So let me get this straight, you're making a thread complaining about how Sony doesn't listen to their customers, based off a rumor that hasn't even been confirmed?

really? because last time i checked the best DS games were "side-scrollers, puzzle games or music games", which is what you said you enjoy.iLikeTheWoods

I think they proved that when they put the ps3 out in 2007 for over £400.

Sorry, you're basing this off a rumor and your personal preferences.

I take it hardly anyone has played a FPS or TPS on the PSP.. They play frikking awful. You have to turn or strafe with the square and circle buttons and it's clunky as hell. A second analog is needed.

i hope this turn out to be the psp 2 because all the other models i found online suck big time.

A touch screen would be nice with the huge LCD display though Touch is the future of mobile gaming I think, thanks to Ninty.
