New IP to be announced for PSP

[wraggster]

SCEE confirms that brand new franchises will form a big part of upcoming PSP extravaganza

Following on from John Koller’s bold statements about an exciting E3 for PS3, SCEE has told MCV that new IP will feature in the line-up.

SCEA’s director of hardware marketing John Koller said earlier that: “At Destination Playstation we announced about half of the line up for the PSP this year, some fairly major, triple-A titles are coming for the back half of the year that are going to be announced in the coming months and at E3.”


And an SCEE spokesperson has added to MCV that “we'll be outlining the release of additional, new and existing IPs for the platform in the coming months”.

Some are already calling this July’s event as the PSP E3, and it’s certainly an exciting time for Sony’s battling machine, though whether a brand new machine (possibly without UMD drive and with touch screen) will or will not be debuted is still up for debate.

bleh touch screens

they were amusing 10 years ago when i was playing games on windows ce, but other than being a gimmick being shoved down devlopers throats they are about as fun as a excel sheet, play a rts with a small touch screen and see how long the "coolness" last while dragging a pen 50 times to advanced 100m on a map

course it may be a bonus, not hearing console peasants whining about how they cant control a mouse and a keyboard at the same time, but function perfectly with 2 analog sticks, a dpad, and a keyboard attached to their headset
