PSP Games Get Dual Analog Control on NGP

Post by Rocketman »

The system can also upscale and smooth PSP games' graphics.
With an NGP, you'll be able to play every PlayStation Portable game ever released on the PlayStation Network through software emulation. That's nice for anyone who owns any PSP games on PSN as well as those who may have never owned a PSP. Better yet, you'll also find the NGP offers a superior experience for playing PSP games.
A Sony embargo ended earlier today, opening the flood gates on a great deal of NGP-related info. (Check out 1UP's rundown for details on some of the early games from first-party developers.) Among the most tantalizing bits is the system's ability to smooth and upscale the graphics of PSP games. This can be turned off if you don't happen to like the job it's doing or want to see the game as it originally looked.

Even better than that is added support for the NGP's second analog stick -- third-person shooter Resistance Retribution was shown to the press demonstrating this. Sony Bend originally got around the solo analog stick problem by offering a lock-on system and sticking camera controls on the face buttons. When played on NGP, the right analog stick takes care of the camera, a much more ideal solution than what was possible on PSP.

It's unclear exactly how that right stick control will work in other games. Regardless, this all sounds like terrific news; the only unfortunate part is that it won't be possible with games that never made it to the PlayStation Store.

The hype is getting to me. :lol:
I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes.

Totally something the 3DS needed. This is pretty nice.
