PSP Remaster Series for PlayStation 3: Peace Walker for E3

Last edited by Floex on Tue May 24, 2011 11:02 am, edited 1 time in total.

Sony will be bringing classic PlayStation Portable titles to PlayStation 3 as part of a new PSP Remaster lineup. The company announced the series today along with its first major release.

PSP Remaster offers PSP titles remastered for play on the PS3. The games are spruced up with full HD visuals, compatibility with Dual Shock 3, PS3 exclusive content, 3D support, and other features.

The PSP and PS3 versions of the game also share save data. Sony says that this could allow you to play a game on the PSP while on the go, then continue playing when you return home.

The PS3 versions are also compatible with Sony's Ad Hoc Party for PlayStation Portable service for network play. This free PS3 app normally allows local play PSP titles to use the PS3 as a proxy for true online play.

The series will kick off first in Japan through sales of Blu-ray Disc titles, Sony said. The wording of Sony's statement suggests that the series will also be released internationally and will also see some games offered in download form. The press release did not explicitly mention these areas, though.

For the series' first title, Sony has a biggie. As detailed earlier today, Capcom will release a PS3 version of Monster Hunter Portable 3rd under the name Monster Hunter Portable HD. The 4.5 million selling PSP title will feature 3D support, HD visuals and shared save files with the PSP, and will see release this summer.

Good move on Sony's part, I must say. Gives them a whole new back catalogue. PeaceWalker imminent, it has to be

MH3 PS3 trailer.

Holy gooseberry fool, Monster Hunter.

"LOADSA MONEY!"

Good move for them. :mrgreen:

Wonder if they're going to do MGS PSP collection to be ported & re-mastered to PS3. :shifty:

Valkyria Chronicles 2 & 3 plz.

I might actually get to play them, then.

Jeanne D'arc please.

BTW is Tactics Ogre like JD?

strawberry float yeah! Would love an MGS collection (perhaps ignoring Ac!d though) and FF7:Crisis Core.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz

Um.....ok.

How dare they give people who don't have PSP's the chance to enjoy these wonderful games. What strawberry floating banana splits!

Good plan from Sony, but a major admission that the PSP is on its way out...

I'd have thought the PSP2 being just around the corner would've been the bigger clue.

Same logic with N64 games and the 3DS.

Just sick of ports. Make new games!!! I want progress

Progress is paid for with the money made from the sales of ports.

There is a God. Finally (potentially) the chance to play MGS Peace Walker without the terrible PSP controls.

:-)

I would guess that everybody's golf will not be considered for porting,a shame because I would love to play some new everybody's golf courses.

I will happily download peace walker though.

Meh...Peace Walker and that's about it.

An interesting idea, as there is certainly an untapped market for the bigger PSP games in the west. I have to say, the idea of playing Agito (or Type 0, is it now?) on the PS3 rather than PSP is mighty tempting.

Peace Walker is bound to follow at E3, but most of Square Enix's output could be big sellers too.
