This just in from Joystiq.com- The upcoming PSP game will utilize a newly developed technology called "PSP Plus." The feature will allow players of Resistance Retribution to connect their systems to the PS3 to enable use of PS3 wireless controllers.

More After Jump.

ok now that is something KOOLL.. can you people really see what these can do for other games ??

ok so the kick ass news for Sony have started im waiting for the ress here lol..

DeforMAKulizer6340d ago

True... Its can open up a completely new aspect of handheld controls!
Dual analogs, vibration and fits into the hand and resists the pressure =D
Awesome!

ape0076340d ago (Edited 6340d ago )

cool,great features

looking forward to it

thereapersson6339d ago

Hopefully this will quell the whiners who were complaining about the lack of dual analog functionality on the PSP.

slave2Dcontroller6339d ago (Edited 6339d ago )

I was one of those people! and YES I am happy now.

QuackPot6339d ago

I'm still whining.

Just make a PSP2 with rumble, six-axis, dual analogs, R1&2, L1&2. It should also be able to receive a SD-AV transmissions from an add-on connected to your Ps3 so you can fully control/use your ps3 anywhere in your house as well as play all your Ps3 games from the PSP2. Awesomeness supreme.

The Psp2 and Ps3 would compliment each other significantly.

thereapersson6339d ago

And then when it releases and costs 300 dollars, you will proceed with whining again.

PirateThom6339d ago

Rumble would kill the battery in a handheld.

QuackPot6339d ago (Edited 6339d ago )

@thereapersson

won't be that expensive.

since a DS3 controller costs about $50 plus say another $50 for SD receiver, extra analog and R/L buttons. It'll be lucky to reach an extra $100....and of course prices will drop with reduced production costs.

Sony will be fools not to do this - especially when Ps3 sales start rocketing with the next price drop next year.

Let me whine in peace.

BTW.

I just thought of a new CONTROLLER = DS3 controller with LCD + speakers + AV receiver. No more than $150. Damn, now that would be awesome and would sell like hot cakes....

...or...

a click on LCD/speaker with SD-AV receiver. Just attach it to your existing DS3 and voila portable Ps3 gaming.

thereapersson6339d ago (Edited 6339d ago )

The current PSP costs 199. Another 100 dollars added onto that cost will equal 299 (basically 300).

QuackPot6339d ago

$50 Ds3 is full price including battery, r/l buttons, two analogs. Of course it won't be translated to $50 extra to add to the PsP but will be less. Likewise the price of reciever will be less than $50. It'll be unlikely the extra cost will reach $100 at all - more like $50 in total.

Also, here in NZ psp sell for NZ$300. That's about US$160. So that's a US$210 PSP2. But this is all guessing for something that doesn't exist. But there's no way in hell a PsP2 would be selling for $600 NZ dollars.

A large LCD-speaker-AV receiver click on to your existing DS3 controller would be another awesome accessory that would like cost around $100 US.

thereapersson6339d ago

Because that doesn't ever translate to actual MSRP. Please enlighten me here as to what you are talking about.

I only own Dualshock3 controllers but I presume this is a great way of recycling your SIXAXIS or just download the pc driver for them.

If you already own it... There, I saved you the click on a deliberately misleading article.

DivineHand12517d ago

I bought the game yesterday on steam for $4 because Square Enix is trying to replace it with a version that has no mod support.

Prior to yesterday, I had no idea the game had so many great mods until people started making a fuss out of it.

Knightofelemia17d ago

I wish Square would port other old games to newer systems I want Xenogears.

gold_drake16d ago

FF9 remake announcement soon?

Redgrave20d ago

We'll probably get the FFIX Dildo Collection announcement before that

Eonjay20d ago

Square Enix is a cautionary tale. The have some of the oldest fanbases out there a instead of giving them what they asked for, the strung them along so hard that they no longer sale what they once did because their audience is literally dying off. And even when they finally got around to doing FF7 you can feel that while good, the game is lacking the polish it deserves. It is can be clunky, slow, and fights you for no reason with layers of artificial difficulty masquerading as challenge.

gold_drake19d ago

im sure a Vivi Model would be very popular. ha

andy8520d ago

They're just trolling at this point

gold_drake19d ago

we'll get anything but the game announcement

i wonder if they had to delay the game internally and all the other unnecessary dtuff they did had stiff deadlines.

not an excuse, Square is terrible with their own damn deadlines.

MayorPauline19d ago

The FF9 remake was part of the Nvidia leak many moons ago. Not sure what happened since then but Square seems to excel at mucking things up.

Elda19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

I'm an avid House Head especially the genres of Tech,NY Hard,Tribal, Deep & Progressive House including the now sound of Techno with 125 to 132 BPM. I'm very curious to how this sounds.
