As you may have heard Sony announced their PSP Remaster series over the weekend. The series of games will be comprised of classic PSP titles that will be ported over to the PS3 with 3D stereoscopic support with inclusion of PS3 exclusives. Remaster titles will start in Japan later this summer. The first game that will be introduced is Monster Hunter Portable 3rd. That's no surprise seeing that it was very popular for the PSP.
One of the unique features for the remaster series will be the ability to take a save from you PSP and be able to use it for your PS3. How cool is that? Now you don't have to worry about playing the game over to get to where you once were on the PSP. You can go out with your PSP, play a game, save it where ever you are, and come back home and play it on your PS3. How seemless is that? That is so essential.
The announcement is very nice to hear but there are a couple of games that I would like to see be transferred to the PS3. One is Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops and the other is Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. I have both of those games but because of the cantankerous controls I haven't really been able to play them. Its really annoying. So hopefully they'll bring those over. It really seems like Sony is trying to squeeze every little drop of value out of the PSP as quick as they can before they release the NGP. The smart thing to do if they plan to ditch the PSP is to go ahead and make the NGP backwards compatible. That way they'll still retain their PSP fans. They'll also have an easy transition to the NGP.
