Sony To Deliver “PSP Remaster” Titles To The PlayStation 3

Okay, so which PSP titles do you want to see remastered in high definition on your PlayStation 3?

Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) has announced the new "PSP Remaster" title series, which consists of portable games "customized and developed specifically for the PS3 computer entertainment system."

Such overhauled experiences will be available on Blu-Ray disc; Sony will start this process in Japan and we're hoping it will eventually come to Western markets. These select PSP Remaster games won't only boast stunning new high-definition visuals; they'll also include new features, such as motion sensing and stereoscopic 3D. And yes, we'll be able to use save data from the original PSP game when playing the Remastered version on the PS3.

The first game on tap is Monster Hunter Portable 3rd , which makes perfect sense for Japan. This game shipped over 4.5 million units in the Land of the Rising Sun alone . In the future, "SCE will continue to further expand the PS3 platform and create a new world of computer entertainment with innovative and exciting new titles." Yeah…we really wanna see God of War: Ghost of Sparta on the PS3.

this announcement reminds me of the announcement of remastered ps2 games coming to the ps3. we realy did not get very many of those. so, i hope we see more than a few titles.

Excelsior, the GoW Collection took 17 weeks to transfer. That's not a lot of time, but Sony does not hold the rights to every game out there. It really does come down to whether or not the publisher thinks that it will be beneficial to them, or any other games in their libraries to do a PS3 remaster. I'm sure that there are more in the pipeline that have not yet been announced.
Peace.

Sh*t. I forgot about Crisis Core. The only thing that popped in my head was Acid and Peace Walker.

This is great but what about trophy support? All of the Metal Gears please

i think they will have trophies since its basically been mandatory to put them in a game since like 2009

I've seen in a couple of articles they've specifically stated there will not be any trophy support for the remastered games.

I see this as a transition test for when they start doing the whole NGP/PS3 dual gaming thing.

I love the idea, as much as I enjoy my PSP there are some games that would benefit from better controls and a bigger picture.

Besides, Monster Hunter & PS3, a match made in heaven? 😉

Yes, Monster Hunter looks good Highlander… would make for an interesting conversion…

Although unlikely (and unnecessary to some people), I'd like SoulCalibu: BD to be ported. It's an improved version of SCIV and who wouldn't like playing Kratos online?

Great idea. Though they'll probably transfer older titles as releasing recent ones [such as Ghost of Sparta] would make the existence of the PSP quite fruitless.

Hope they're thinking about Valkyria Chronicles 2.

LimitedVertigo

You can transfer save files back and forth so I see this as another feature that benefits the PSP.

Huh, I'm confused. Unless that comment was supposed to be an addition of pro point [which is true, I find this feature awesome also], I was talking the list of games Sony intend to remaster. Unless you knew this which then it's maahh baadd.

The games I would like to see in HD is God of war PSP and MGS Peace Walker. These games are awesome games that seem to be held back by the PSP's power and form factor.

It would be great if they instead remastered ps2 games. There are a myriad of ps2 games that I would like to see technologically on ps3 standards. Of course, this would need the addition of ps2 BC. I do not know if this is possible through an update… I am sure I am not the only one who would be elated playing Jak X Combat Racing in HD.

TheHighlander

Um….in case it escaped your attention, they already have PS2 titles that have been remastered in HD, and more are on the way.

LimitedVertigo

If they released an HD FFX,FFX-2,FFXII for the PS3 I'd gladly pay in the hundreds.

@ Bugzbunny109

funny that you mention Jak X: combat racing, cause i was just getting the urge to play that the other day lol

@ LimitedVertigo

i know right?? well idk about hundreds, lol, but i would definitely fork over the cash to be able to play those games remastered!

———————————————

the PS2 HD collections that need to be made:
(in no particular order)

Ratchet & Clank (1 thru deadlocked, and maybe psp ones, however we might get those separate now)

PS2 Final Fantasy collection

Jak & Daxter (include jak x)

Kingdom hearts I & II

and Onimusha (1 thru dawn of dreams)

i never did try xenosaga. i guess that'd be the perfect opportunity to try it as an HD update

I definitely want to see the GoW and MGS games on PS3. I'm also thinking of Splinter Cell: Essentials, Valkyria Chronicles 2, and Crisis Core.

First game I want to see is Daxter! I also would like that Castlevania Chronicles game with Rondo Of Blood as a unlockable.

Daxter was my first PSP purchase and still one of my favorites. Funny how certain games developed at the start of a particular hardware's lifecycle can compete with games years down the pipeline.

I've never been too big a fan of these unique series, but possibly Patapon and/or Loco Roco? LocoRoco couid definitley benefit from Sixaxis, for sure.

Also, how woulds the save data carry over if the remastered versions would boasts extra console-specific extras? Just wondering, lol.

Every JRPG that should have been on PS3.

Was going to post the samw thing. Just wanted to see if anyone else posted it first and lo and behold.

Agreed World. They can go ahead and bring every single JRPG in the PSP's library to the PS3, remastered in HD.

This would certainly allow a lot of games that should have been PS3 from the get go, to make the leap…

every psp game I can think of that id like remade for the ps3 other psxe people have said ( great minds think alike ).

Crisis core, birth by sleep, both dissidia games. And if they could just make the wkc game for psp a ps3 game too while their at it, that would be effing fantastic.

I'm sure there's other psp games id like to see on the ps3, but I can't think of anymore at the moment. I'm sure the psxe community will name some more id be interested in.

So have at it gang.

Peace Walker and Valkyria Chronicles 3, the 2 games that should have been on the PS3, not the PSP.

Are you telling me this is the only way we're going to get Monster Hunter on the PS3? I don't know… Part of me says Yay and part of me says Nay. I mean, HOW much better will the graphics be? Or is this perhaps just some gimmick to try and breath life into their 3D and motion sensing? This is a big wait and see for me.
