Its amusing how Scott has repeatedly underestimated or been confused by the PSP’s success. From my own experience living in the Philippines at the time of its release, it was the hottest shit for gamers. And of course massively easy for piracy.

[@coleredmond8459]

It was hot shit for awhile after launch but it failed in comparison to Nintendo's line of portables. Same with the vita

[@Aleppie]

@@coleredmond8459 in the west sure, but in the SEA region everyone had a psp

[@Random_dud31]

​@coleredmond8459 what are you talking about? The Psp sold about 80+ million units. That is a success. Just because it isn't number 1 doesn't mean its a failure. That is why they released the psvita because it was an success.

[@pentexsucks43]

I lived in California and everyone used the PSP. My dad used it to make work calls at the time. Also it seems like a good amount of people still remember it, weird how some people think it's completely forgotten

[@DeezNutsOvaYoFace]

Same in India. Nintendo has only ever catered to the Japanese, American, and European markets. Importing a DS meant paying $400+ in 2007 for a handheld that was subpar compared to PSP which had GTA and God of War. The PSP was HUGE in Asia and Eastern Europe, markets Nintendo doesn’t even know exist even to this very day.

[@carotteatomique]

[@elmousse007]

Yeah, everybody was enjoying that. I never seen anybody complaining about Liberty City Stories control. Every PSP owner wished to have that game

[@chriswright8074]

​@@elmousse007I hated the numb stick but I loved the psp used to watch movies and porn back in middle school

[@Ravensfan-qx5pc]

I agree, it had PS2 quality [ish, so Dreamcast quality] graphics, can play video [both with UMD discs and Mp4s], Mp3s, [had a remote for this too] and has a web browser. The analog nub gave respectable control. The DS at the time didn't have one.

[@spongebobfan78]

For someone who was late to consoles and handhelds due to financial instabilities, I grew up playing with PS2 mostly and the PSP-to-PS2 thing was a blessing for me. Having more games in one platform was great. I still love Burnout Dominator, Syphon Filter Dark Mirror and Motorstorm Arctic Edge.

Meanwhile most of us Armored Core fans play the PSP versions over the originals due to how many little improvements they made, and how comfortably it gets in your pants.

[@Falconhawk3784]

[@SoberSpork]

is it really worth having PSP Leg for Armored Core

[@citrusjuicebox]

But you only get one analog stick

[@CoffeePotato]

@@citrusjuicebox Only need one, AC has generally used one stick. Vita allows for two, as does emulation, but I know personally, I still do rocket only runs using PSP controls, just due to finding ∆ O easier as up/down than the triggers, which always felt weird to me. It's a preference thing, but most still play these versions, since most of your screen is a lock box.

[@irathecarnivore4606]

Growing up in a country with a weak economy and only having a PS2 while the PS3 was out, the PSP to PS2 conversions were a godsent, I wanted to play Motorstorm so bad but couldn't afford a PS3 at the time, Arctic Edge was one of my favorite games on the PS2

[@MoonSarito]

Same here, in Brazil the PS2 ended up being the solution for many gamers who didn't have enough money for the Wii, PS3 or Xbox 360 which were absurdly expensive here at the time, heck... my first contact with games like Sonic Unleashed and Call of Duty 3 was on PS2 and that was in 2010.

I would love to see Scott do a vita video someday, I think his perspective as a nintendo fan would be interesting, considering how beloved the vita is by its community. Also, the fact one of the main draws is jrpgs will certainly make a different view as compared to a lot of the vita videos nowadays.

[@WaterInmyHands]

God back in late 2000's or so my PSP was my life. You could download Skype on it and get 1 free call, so I would just make burner emails and use it to call friends and stuff. I didn't have a home internet connection at the time so I would just go around freeloading wifi from places and use that to browse the web, it was also my media player, I had lots of anime downloaded onto it and just watched on break or durning trips and listen to music and stuff. Basically what people use their smartphone for now, I used my PSP for back in the day

[@supabass4003]

Maybe you were too young at the time Scott but the PSP was a huge deal - the hype in 2004 and 2005 was enormous and the device felt like something from the future - something akin to the AYANEO or GPD Win4 but at a time when Gameboy Advance and flip phones were the norm and Nintendo had just released the original brick DS. Whilst the device was compromised in some pretty stupid ways at the time it was very very cool.

[@NoName-ik2du]

GTA: LCS and VCS were probably the best installments in the GTA series. I'm partial to Liberty City (the town, not the game), but VCS is arguably the better game of the two. Always annoyed me they cut the multiplayer, but the PS2-era engine of GTA was absolutely _not_ designed for splitscreen. It also annoys me to no end that most people pretend like these two games don't exist. If you owned a PS2 (which is what most people played GTA on), then they were just the next installment in the series at the time.

[@Manic_Panic]

Both were better than the previous entries (GTA 3 & Vice City). Mechanically, LCS was much closer to VC and VCS was a lot closer to San Andreas. The maps were also more fleshed out, especially Vice City Stories, it makes Vice City look like a beta version. The only problem was the god awful framerate of LCS on PS2, which makes it harder to decide between PSP/PS2. VCS however was easily better on PS2 in every way.

[@quinnmarchese6313]

i dont think anyone would argue against VCS being the better one. it has a much more consistent framerate, its soundtrack is 10 times better than LCS, and its got fuckin Phil Collins in it. that said, both are great and neither will fail to provide a fun time on the go.

[@Ravensfan-qx5pc]

I love VC Stories too! The sound track on V Rock and Wave 103 were much better on VC Stories than on regular Vice City in my opinion. The scripting and dialog between Lazlow and Ed are hilarious! They also got Phil Collins a mission and concert scene.

[@kautsar7806]

Psp & ps2 games mod community still going strong to this day. Especially in the translation team

[@DarkOverlord96]

Yeah, this was a really weird trend, it'd be like if Square Enix released PS2 versions of games like Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII and The 3rd Birthday shortly after their PSP releases, especially since they were killer apps and meant to be a reason to get a PSP.

[@theotherjared9824]

Birth by Sleep was supposed to be a PS2 release before being delayed a bunch and the team deciding to shift to a more relevant console with comparable hardware.

[@supersonicfan325]

That was just a whole scott video lol

[@NeoTechni]

"The stuff you're willing to put up with for a portable" You own a switch...

[@elmousse007]

All of these complains about PSP and Wii’s control were completely inexistant. Listening to the KZbinrs, it was the worst thing ever but it’s just because you’re comparing with new releases. Back in the day I’ve litteraly never seen someone complaining about those two consoles controls. Liberty City Stories was a must have and nobody complained about the camera. Yes, it wasn’t optimal but we didn’t know any better so people were fine with it

[@KBXband]

The PSP is my favorite handheld. It is such a cool handheld and the library is vastly underestimated.

[@Henkibojj]

For anyone loving GTA but never got a hold of a PSP for the LCS/VCS games, I have a tip for you. The PSP emulator PPSSPP is very easy to install on your phone or PC and not only emulates the PSP flawlessly, it also upscales the games. This was something I overlooked; I thought "oh god, touchscreen? Yuch!" and was right about it. But seeing the quality of the graphics within the emulator makes it difficult for me to play some games on original hardware (or ported into the Adrenaline PSP program for the Vita), and I now play some games on the phone using a Dualshock 4 clipped onto a mobile holder. I never thought this would be my style of playing but GTA just looks so good. Anyway, this method was far better than playing VCS on PSXPS2 on PC, so don't get fooled. If you want to play LCS or VCS on the PC, go for PPSSPP and the PSP games, not a PS2 emulator for the PS2 versions.

[@nicholasgeorge4156]

I bought a psp for the first time last year and I still play it regularly. It is amazing. The only thing I hate is some games will NOT save even tho I have enough storage. Other than that it is the best

It felt like you literally had the PS2 in your hands. The psp was way ahead of it's time.

[@marky3609]

I personally like the fact that a lot of PSP games also released on PS2 especially now as a PS2 collectors I can go back and play my favorite PSP games without actually having to buy a PSP. I want that Ratchet and Clank The Lost Frontier on PS2 I Already have Syphon Filter Dark Mirror on PS2 and searching for a copy of Logan Shadow. Also want a PS2 copy of Silent Hill Origins which is expensive as hell. I play all my PS2 games on my backwards compatible PS3 so I'm looking for quite a few can't wait to one them all. Overall I think it was a great initiative to make them on PS2 so we can go back and play them now on a TV with needing a PSP.

[@creepypato3984]

If you're such a collectionist, haven't you considered running an original PS2 through a simple HDMI thingie? Albeit you'll need some memory cards, it will help since I've heard PS3 had some compatibility errors with some of the more obscure games.

[@marky3609]

@@creepypato3984 Nah the PS3 works fine I've got a 60GB backwards compatible PS3 and it absolutely takes any game I throw at it and runs with it. It's no issue at all much better then going through the trouble of hooking a PS2 up to a component to HDMI adapter plus those things make the picture look absolutely terrible where as on the PS3 PS2 games look incredible.

back in the day, the PSP blew my mind, my first game on there was Lego star wars 2 and to see it near console parity (hell some extra content too) blew my mind, sadly we didnt get many games only a handful here and there, but once we got Ratchet & Clank Size matters I was glued to that little powerhouse. and around the twilight years of the systems life was when I was finally able to afford some of the better games like Crisis Cor and the God of War games. loved that little handheld. kinda wish I could go back and relive those experiences lol

My only issue with the PSP to PS2 and vice versa games were the fact that some of the games released on both systems were just PSP games that were ported to the PS2 and never got proper controls or a graphical upgrade due to the slight performance advantage the PS2 itself had. I think if devs had a little bit more time to put polish into each release of each game, they would have had a better turnout rate with what was released. These devs still did a good job though (Not looking at you High Impact, Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier was an absolute disaster and you should be ashamed of yourselves)

It's funny that this reminds me of what they did with the Master System in Brazil and Europe where they ported several Game Gear games to the Master System to make the console last longer. Sonic Chaos, Streets of Rage, Mickey's Ultimate Challenge, Mortal Kombat 3, Virtua Fighter Animation, Earthworm Jim, Legend of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, Ecco the Dolphin, Dynamite Headdy and many others, some games like Sonic 2 plays way better on Master System because of the bigger screen, you almost can't see anything that's on the front of the Game Gear version and it's just not a good experience, but some games like Sonic Blast they don't even try to scale the game right on the TV screen . On the other hand, thanks to that, the Master System (a console from 1985) received games until 1998, which is absurdly impressive.
