Sony PSP Android phone?

Rumors are saying that Sony Ericsson could be releasing an Android smartphone designed for handheald gaming. Gagit says it will be somewhere between the Samsung captivate phone and the PSP go.

Running Android 3.0 (aka Gingerbread), the phone's added phsyical game controller and possible PlayStation branding suggest that its killer feature will be access to the PlayStation Network's collection of original PlayStation and PSP games. Whether it will be via PSN or a special section of the Android marketplace (Engadget's sources indicate the latter) remains to be determined.

Frankly, I find this to be a cool idea. I'd be the only reason I would want to get a PSP go. Any thoughts on this? Leave a comment.

My PSP Dissidia Final Fantasy Gamplay

Here is a video of my gameplay from my PSP game, Dissidia Final Fantasy. I played around with the camera views to make it more interesting to look at. This is one of the only games I know of that allows you to record your actual gameplay without hacking your psp.

By the way does anyone know if I can hack my psp 3000? Does that hack exist yet? Let me know in the comments.

Edit: I realized a very easy way to record high quality gameplay footage off your psp without hacking it or having CFW (custom firm ware). I can't believe I didn't think of it before! If anyone is interested, I'll tell you how to do it in another blog entry.

Street Fighter X Tekken: Two classic fighting games combined together

It is exactly what it sounds like: a fighting game that pits the characters from Street Fighter against those of Tekken. A great combination of two of my favorite classic fighting games. Comic-Con Capcom and Namco teamed up for a surprising announcement. The two developers are collaborating to produce Street Fighter X Tekken. The fighters will all retain their signature moves.

Note that it is not called Street Fighter vs. Tekken. The title is pronounced Street Fighter "Cross" Tekken.

Street Fighter X Tekken is being developed for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. When will it be out? Capcom says "not for a while." Namco also said it is creating its own version of the game, Tekken X Street Fighter, but details on that aren't available at this time.

[Reopen] Final Fantasy Versus XIII Begins Voice Casting

First of let me start by saying I've decided to reopen this blog. It would seem like a waste of effort if I just closed it.

The first time I heard about this game was in 2007. I saw the game trailer and feel in love. Creator of Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Tetsuya Nomura, has been busy tweeting the progress of upcoming Square Enix titles. One of the most interesting bits offers insight to the progress of Versus, and narrows down at which game shows it may appear.

"Versus has had many difficulties, and past method of production have been completely inapplicable, but these are the difficulties of birth, so we are working hard,” said Nomura. “We have a lot to announce, but because we're going in order, I can't say too much yet."

According to Andriasang, when Nomura speaks of “order” he is referring to a policy Square Enix holds in which the publisher only advertises games in the order of release.

Responding to questions about the game’s field of play, Nomura said that it will not be “completely open world.” Instead, he says it will be “like the 2D FF games in HD.” By this he means that it will look much like the over-the-shoulder, third person screenshots that have been restricted to print-only so far.

Nomura also revealed Square Enix’s upcoming voice recording schedule. The next Parasite Eve game, The 3rd Birthday, is finishing up shortly. After that, Final Fantasy Agito XIII will begin recording. Versus is just beginning the casting progress.

No dates or concrete details have been released, but this news suggests that the release of Final Fantasy Versus XIII is still a way off.
