http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/news/a284094/psp2-to-include-touchpad-larger-screen.html

Could this 'PSP2' be enough for LBP PSP 2? What do you think? If it is powerful like NeatherRealm Studios say, maybe there could be a chance for LBP PSP2! Or maybe even an update for LBP PSP including water 		2010-10-25 21:16:00

Doubt it. PSP would suck with touch screen.2010-10-25 21:17:00

If they really do follow through with the two analogue sticks and or touch screen, then most probably, yes

Although I don't think there will be a touch screen 		2010-10-25 21:19:00

This would give Sony the chance to compete with the iPod Touch though using Touch Screen Minis.2010-10-25 21:19:00

Compete with the iPod touch?

I think it's the other way around! iPods and iPhones have been trying to compete with PSPs!! Apple has a long way to go if they want to top sony in gaming 		2010-10-25 21:38:00

Actually to tell you the truth, the iPod touch has already surpassed the PSP in gaming. Being an owner of a PSP and an iPod touch myself, I can say that the iPod touch is a little better. But that is because you can get a lot of short games for free. If it were to be about full length games, PSP is the best. 		2010-10-26 00:12:00

The iPhone 4 and the new iPod touch already pwn all of the current consoles spec wise, it's just that developers haven't realized the console's full potential. Except for these guys:

Well l think that if they do make the PSP2 it'll cost more money and it'll be difficult to play it with two analog sticks and a touch screen, they are doing updates now for the LBP now, but we need to pitch in and try to fix the turbo pack problem.2010-10-26 00:27:00

They should completely diss the touch screen and motion controls and go for something completely new that has never been done in gaming history. Not that I would know what it would be, though...2010-10-26 00:43:00

I think they should add these: 2nd analog stick, L1, L2, L3, R1, R2, R3, six axis motion control, a touch screen, a bigger 3D screen, a built in camera... Plus some optional attachments: 2nd screen, keyboard, better camera...

(...) means other things that I would eventually come up with.

This is just what I want to see. I don't care if they make is a little(or a lot) bit bigger than what we already have. Price wise, I would sell all of my other game systems and games to get it if I would need to.

They should just make a better Internet browser. LBPC is very ugly with no colour.2010-10-26 01:27:00

A PSP2? Heck, I'll buy it! Although, I only think that the dual analogs are useful. In fact, they should act as the L2 and R2 triggers, if possible. I think an L3 and R3 is going a bit too far.

Touch Screen? Forget about it!

A built-in camera? Yes please! 2.0 MP is good enough for me.

A stronger internet browser? Why not?

Keep the microphone? I don't know, I hardly use mine on my 3000. I only use it when I'm playing FTB3.

Anyways, a new PSP IS needed if we want the best LBP can offer us		2010-10-26 07:22:00

I agree with TheNerd. Dual analogue sticks would make First Person Shooters/FPS much better. It would be like an Xbox/PS3 controller with a screen. How epic?2010-10-26 07:27:00

I think it is not very clever to make speculations yet. I mean that even the console is not out yet, and LBP2 is on the way! Cool news BTW I didn't know that PSP2 is coming out.2010-10-26 07:27:00

Actually, they have already. Apple made almost twice as much money from selling iphone/ipod games in 2009 as Sony did with the PSP, and the margin is going to get even bigger when the 2010 numbers come back next year based on the hardware sales. At this point, it's pretty much a no-brainer that the PSP2 is going to have some sort of a touch screen and downloadable app store to keep up with Nintendo and Apple.		2010-10-26 09:47:00

A touch screen is a no-go. They should save all of the room for the graphics and processing power! I highly doubt they would need an R2 or L2, because it would take up space. A microphone? Why not? People use skype! Not a whole bunch of people, but some do make good use of Skype! Game developers could make good use of it, too! Motion controls? Not so much of a possibility. The 3DS is supposedly using it (and the iPhone has already been king of that realm for a while now), and there is NOTHING I hate more than a copycat console. Sony'll have to keep digging. Again, they shouldn't put so much money and effort into the controls and what not, and instead go for the tech specs.2010-10-26 14:40:00

I hope they really work on the graphics and processing power to allow for bigger games, a better analogue stick and general higher quality hardware would be nice too.2010-10-26 14:56:00

I think that sony should not try and make it as small as they can. Yeah it would be easier to carry around, but isn't it about the gaming to? I don't care if they would need to make it twice as big a the original psp, as long as it is still portable and has a lot better gaming. 2010-10-26 20:46:00

Apple has more reconigtion with handheld devices and has succeded finacially, but I think that the PSP delivers better quality to the gaming market.

Also I dont feell that the ipod touch has surpassed the PSP in gaming. I feel like that it is a better multimedia device, sure it is. But the PSP is a better gaming system with more variety of gamies and other stuff while the ipod touch only focus on games using touching the screen and balance. I say that Sony should focus more on processing power and graphics than all that stuff that they could live without. And what if those new features you suggest dont work quite as planned? It wouldn't be great for Sony and the handheld.

Quality over Quanity my PSP'ers

I wasn't making a statement about quality, I don't think there's really a question of who has the better games here. But let's be honest, Sony's taken quite a beating over the past couple of years financially and if you think they're going to pass up grabbing a piece of that huge market that Apple has captured in just a few short years, you're crazy. Those games might be simple and forgettable, but they're also inexpensive, quick to make while generating a ton of money for the developers.

When you think about it, this is really a good thing. Touchscreens don't add a lot to the cost so it's not like they need to short the specs in other departments or raise the retail price significantly, plus it's not like that's going to be the only way to control the thing. The major developers can make more of the larger, more ambitious games that we like while still maintaining a steady stream of revenue with the quick one-off downloadable games. Everybody wins.		2010-10-27 05:21:00

they don't want to become a gaming company, there sticking to computers, epic phones, and iPods
(I hope anyway)

BUT, if they where to go into gaming, eventually they would become better than sony, they make EVERYTHING awesome 		2010-10-27 06:07:00

https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=33635-PSP2-gains-touch-sensitive-controls

This thread has already been made. That being said, I would drop whatever they are asking on this piece of hardware. The touch pad actually sounds interesting, it isn't a "touch screen". Also, the touch controls will be in the back which will keep yours hands from getting in the way. I hope for dual thumbsticks and L2/R2.		2010-10-27 10:34:00

I think it's the other way around. Nintendo would've never thought of the analog stick if Sony never came out with the PSP. They would've never thought of 3D if it weren't for Sony's 3D TVs! Heck, They would've been stuck with the first model of the DS until this year!

Oh, and did you know that Sony's been experimenting with Move ever since they came out with the first PlayStation? There's something to think about.		2010-10-27 15:27:00

You could just as easily say that the PSP would never have had an analogue stick if Nintendo hadn't started using them with the N64 while you're at it. Not sure I believe that Sony came up with Move before the Wii controller though, especially considering how closely the design copies the Nintendo one.		2010-10-27 15:40:00

Here is some article about the RAM of the PSP2

Hey look what i found on a LBP web page

Following the ?2″ theme of the day, Sony has yet to officially announce a true PSP2 is in the making, but the rumors are intensifying with reliable sources speaking up about the device. It will apparently feature the much (MUCH) asked for dual analogue sticks as well as some sort of touchpad functionality, possibly on the back of the device, finally finding a way to make use of those lazy ring fingers of yours! It is also described as having a larger high definition screen and rivals the Xbox 360 in terms of horsepower! Uhm so yea? Do want! Final specs are naturally subject to change as the models shown off behind closed doors were prototypes. Also note that this PSP2 is not the same at the PSP phone that is also currently in development.		2010-11-04 03:01:00

Why are we all so against touch screens? Seems pretty moronic. You realise games wouldn't have forced touch screen elements right? Also, imagine drawing your levels and enemies with a stylus.2010-11-18 14:18:00

Yeah, but then Nintendo would very likely sue Sony and take them all off the market. Plus it's WAY overused (E.G. DS, iPhone, every other phone on the market)

Hey, why does everyone keep saying touch SCREEN? The articles have ALL stated that it will have a TRACKPAD or TOUCHPAD similar to a laptop. And they all state it will be on the back so it won't obscure your view of the screen. That actually sounds usable and possibly can be very fun.

Edit: the thumbsticks look to be much more comfortable, and appear to have plenty of room.		2010-11-18 18:46:00

Do you honestly think Nintendo owns touchscreen technology? Look at the Playstation move, it's a tarted up Wiimote lets be honest, why wasn't sony sued? Jeez, I don't know whether to laugh or punch a wall with that comment. And as an optional extra why not? I don't see the point in denying yourself a feature like that. It'd probably go rarely used like sixaxis movement or would that still upset your illogical standards? Anyway, looking at the previous post it appears a few of us misread, I wonder how a rear trackpad works, doesn't look that natural to control but it might make sense when it's in your hands.		2010-11-19 00:12:00

Let us all hope that there isn't any kind of motion control either. I find motion controls to be irritating. Also, let's keep it civil. no need to insult. We all don't have to agree/get along but we can all control our language.		2010-11-19 08:37:00
