CVG sat down with SCEE game director Tony Buckley to discuss the impressive online features in Pulse, the future of the WipEout series, and all things PlayStation.
From the interview:
CVG: Does this represent increased focus in online gaming within Sony games, particularly on PSP?
Buckley: Yes. There's been no public announcement of trying to get a more global focus on the PlayStation family but it's obvious that that's what they want to do. I don't want to give too much away but whether players have a PS3, PSP or PS2 we need them to be able to access all the cool things via one format. The PSN has proved to be a nice opening gambit in terms of an online experience but we don't want to restrict that experience to people with PS3s.
The Gamer's Network posts an extensive list of the top 10 greatest PSP games of all time.
Vice city stories was amazing, I remember owning vice city with all prostitution rings lmao
That red PSP always looked beast. xD Its games are the best for mobile entertainment. Something the Vita surely needs currently.
Really great choices but I would've swapped out liberation with Disgaea or a persona game... PES 3 was amazing on vita...too bad there was no free roam:(
Thanks! Maybe I'll look into having a round with those games, could change my mind. :)

"With a revival unlikely to happen, PSU.com thought the time was ripe to celebrate WipEout’s illustrious history by listing five things that made the series standout among its contemporaries, becoming one of our all-time favourite racers."
I agree with all of this. Why did Sony have to shut down SCE Studio Liverpool? They were a great part of the whole Sony gaming community. They made epic WipEout games and were already making WipEout for the PS4. Goddammit Sony, why?
gamrReview: "Those of us for whom gaming is slightly more than just a fun pastime will often cite our childhood gaming experiences and the nostalgic memories associated with them as the source of our passion for gaming. There's a sizeable group of people in the industry today that owe some of that passion to a company that, as of today, is no more."
Sigh. Just because the studio is gone doesn't mean Wipeout is gone too. What is a matter with everyone? Did anyone say that Wipeout is gone and no longer going to be made? Wipeout most likely belongs to Sony. They can make as much Wipeout games as they want.
I don't see it happening. And even if it does, who's to say the quality will be the same?
@ Spectator1. And whose to say that it won't.Sly Cooper is being done by someone else and so far it is looking good. Just because someone takes over doesn't automatically make the game lose quality.Who knows it could be improved with new blood working on it.
