A new Uncharted game could be in the works for the "very powerful" PSP2, if new rumours are accurate.

Game Informer magazine says it's "heard" that an Uncharted "spin off" is headed to Sony's next-gen handheld, rumoured for release in "holiday 2011".
"The developers we talked to described the PSP2 as a very powerful machine," says the mag, adding: "We've even heard that a new Uncharted spin-off - which could even stand in for a full-on Uncharted 3 - is in the works."

The issue would have obviously gone to press before Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception - for PS3 - was revealed, but the thought of a spin-off is exciting.

The mag says the possibility of Uncharted on PSP2 "speaks to how powerful the graphics capabilities are for the handheld".

Recent reports suggest PSP2 will be "just over half as powerful as the PS3", although the smaller, lower-resolution screen means it will produce games of "comparable graphical quality".

GT5-like flop confirmed. Sony invests so much money in the wrong areas and ALWAYS fails in the end.vkun

What does that have to do with Uncharted ? and GT5 has probably already made millions for sony.

Why you bring up GT5 in this thread?

Since you said that, GT5 is not a flop sales wise... Although critics are mixed about the game, GT5 already sold millions of copies of the game...

Say what?

I believe Sony's investment in games and not advertising is the reason for such jems as Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2.

Eh... if it really is "half as powerful" as a PS3, it seems like the handheld would needlessly take away time & money that could have been invested in PS3 exclusives. But I guess that's basically what handhelds do.

Naughty Dog has expressed interest in bringing the Uncharted series to the PSP. I wouldn't be surprised if this was true.

It's not a system seller.


They need something of their own like Pokemon, or Monster Hunter, or something that will guarantee to sell millions of systems, and games each time a sequel is released.

ND are some of the best devs Sony has, so it's no surprise they'd be chosen for showcasing the PSP2.

Even if its a mediocre spin off I'll buy a PSP2 just to follow the series, but you're right it wouldn't be a system seller in that siuation. UNLESS it lives up to the console versions, maybe not as epic selling as a Pokemon but a system seller none the less.
