Great article! It looks like a really cool device!

I’ve been thinking a bit lately about 4:3 gaming while emulating FFIX on my Steamdeck in the original resolution which is still beautiful. It’s got me wondering whether wider aspect ratios are detrimental to game development. Like… does creativity or artistry get spread thin when they have to fill a wider screen. Does the budget need to be inflated to pull it off?

As a Wipeout pro, which game do you think is the best in the series? I’m a new Wipeout fan, I started with Pure this week and it’s awesome!

I played VC2! Not sure if I ever finished it though… I should give it another go!

I don’t think I ever tried game-sharing… really cool idea for a handheld feature though!

Nothing quite like getting snagged in a Plesioth hip-check hit-box together with friends!

Lumines is getting so many mentions… sounds like a must-play!

Sounds bonkers!

An ATC simulator on handheld seems like a bizarre game development choice… I must see this game in action!

Don’t think I’ve played a Ridge Racer game since the original and I can remember barely remember it. A lot of people are recommending RR2 so I’ll give it a shot!

Oh hell yeah I hadn’t even considered running a tracker on PSP. I’m a big fan of LSDj and Dirtywave!

Golf game with a story mode? That sounds interesting!

I recall being disappointed with Shattered Memories when it came out because it was different to the usual Silent Hill formula… though I can’t remember what the gameplay was like now. The psychological test gimmick was a really cool idea though!

I never owned a Vita unfortunately. I suppose I could emulate it on the Steamdeck though!

 

My wife just surprised me with a new PSP battery after listening to me moan about not having one ever since reading PerfectDark's most recent PSP article. After messing around with broken USB cables and jumping through hoops to un-spoof my old prome-2 firmware version for too long last night, I finally got ARK4 running and had a blast playing Wipeout Pure.

My favourite PSP game back in the day was probably Monster Hunter Freedom Unite... so many late nights spent playing that with friends in my freezing flat. There was something special about LAN parties with handheld games. I remember putting serious hours into Peace Walker and Dissidia too.

Now I want some game recommendations... tell me which games you loved on the PSP! I might even have a look around for some UMDs!
