    Playstation Vita

    According to the Mortal Kombat devs it is.

    http://www.joystiq.com/2010/09/16/ps...l-kombat-devs/

    According to an interview with Netherrealm Studios executive producer Shaun Himmerick conducted by Industry Gamers, not only does the PSP2 exist, but it's already in developers' hands. When asked about the possibility of the Mortal Kombat reboot heading to PSP or 3DS, Himmerick replied, "We're not launching day one on all consoles like that. We are looking at them; we have a PSP2 in the house and we're looking at the engine, like what can it support."

    Wait -- the PSP2, you say? "PSP2 looks like it's a pretty powerful machine," Himmerick added, before saying that his studio doesn't have a 3DS just yet. Sony, as you might imagine, refused to comment.
    Of course he could have been joking but a PSP2 with improvements would be awesome.

    As much as I love the PSP. I really have my doubts that a second one will really save Sony's portable market.

    PSP is king of the hand held consoles. Fuck your sales figures and fuck your reviews.

    I don't know what you mean by "save" their portable market. PSP is the only handheld to do even this well against the Nintendo juggernaut... and hell, it's Sony's first generation handheld. They'd be silly to stop now after only one gen in the portable market considering how well it's done next to what was almost a monopoly for so long.

    Anyway, if this year's lineup for the PSP has been any indication... good things are coming for Sony in terms of third party handheld support.

    I'm more skeptical about new Mortal Kombat game than I am of PSP2 existing to be honest.

    Like seriously, why do they even bother? In comparison to the current gen of fighting game, the new mortal kombat games are pretty fucking pathetic by comparison.

    The last time I played MK game, it was the vs DC one, and I had more fun staring at the wall and the ceiling fan than actually playing the game. Though I suppose I was also stoned off my ass then, but I stand by my statement.

    I imagine Sony has been sitting on this for a long time, but seeing as the 3DS is about to take the performance crown away from them by a massive margin, they obviously need an answer to it. PSP is pretty damn old at this point.

    Isn't 3DS still worse than PSP performance wise? Idk.

    3DS has a whole lot more gimmicks though.

    It's more powerful by a factor of 4x from "known specs"(we don't know final release clock rates yet, though if anything they'd probably go up if they changed at all).

    If you want some anecdotal evidence can just search for screenshots, it's pretty damn apparent.


    Spoiler: show
    How unbiased this is? who knows...just first one google gave me

    3DS is more powerful than the PSP1 for sure, but I dunno about the PSP2.

    Hmm that's nice. Sony better have something powerful in store performance wise then.

    I'm looking forward to PSP2 a hell of a lot more, I'm just happy that 3DS is finally gonna force it to come to market.

    I wonder if it would be possible for it to run PS3-level technology yet?

  16. #16

    Depends, mobile technology has come a long way over the last 5-6 years, and it's entirely possible to make a mobile device that has better comparative specs than at least an xbox360 below a $300 price-point.

    What kind of screen they go with is going to be the big "if" I think, and whether they end up sacrificing power for a better one to make it fit under a certain budget.

    Sony is reportedly giving more and more developers access to the
    successor to the soon to be six-year-old PSP, with dev kits in the
    hands of (or en route to) "numerous development studios."

    Develop cites "multiple industry sources" who claim that the
    "PSP2" is gearing up for a "significant launch window line-up," with
    developer-only hardware in the hands of Sony's internal teams and
    third-party video game makers. A developer at Mortal Kombat
    studio NetherRealm recently claimed the Warner Bros.-owned
    studio had PSP2 hardware.

    We've never lacked for unconfirmed information on Sony's next
    handheld games machine. According to some reports, it has touch
    controls on its posterior, while others point to a gaming device that
    also acts as a smart phone and e-reader.

    Sony, for its part, is not yet talking openly about the successor to
    the PlayStation Portable. The original PSP has sold more than 62
    million units across multiple configurations, according to Sony.

    Letting the 3DS run about without any competitive PR is retarded. Letting devs talk about it before revealing it is even weirder. Sony has got to be doing this on purpose. Maybe they are aiming for some "viral" hype gimmick.

    Serious question because I don't know of one, but what gaming device do you know of that has touch controls on the back?
