the PSP was so far ahead of it’s time

I remember my friends just getting their new Razor flip phones and I’d be sitting next to them switching between a triple A game, retro emulators, homebrew, browsing the web, running custom software (hacked psp), listening to music and even making calls and sending texts with the skype app. Needed wifi but it felt like I had a whole laptop in my pocket in an era of still mostly dumb phones.

And it still looks futuristic even today! I love the slim low-profile thumbstick, making it actually travell-y and pocketable (well, depending on your pockets I suppose!). Design-wise its up there in the top three for me!

But… Why?

Are you asking why they’re bringing a game that isn’t available on the PSP, to the PSP?

Changing content, showing missions from different perspectives and giving PSP owners (and those using PPSSPP) a ‘new’ game so long after no games have been released?

On their own time (and dime)?

Try reading my article! It should give you an idea why this is a nice thing to have done :)
