With the recent announcement of remastered PSP games heading towards PS3 with HD resolution, we here at TheParanoidGamer decided to compile a short list of PSP titles that deserve to be ported onto the PS3. Hit the jump to see our top picks.
Valkyria Chronicles:
This is a must. After the original released exclusively for the playstation 3 fans of the series eagerly awaiting for the next installment. However, disappointment soon arrived when sega unveiled that Valkyria 2 would be exclusive to the psp. Hopes of it getting ported and upgraded on the PS3 were also soon killed :
“Valkyria Chronicles I is a PS3 exclusive, and Valkyria Chronicles II is a PSP exclusive. Taking a game from the PSP and updating for the PS3 is a pretty huge process, and I don’t think there are any plans to do that currently.”- Sega of America’s Assistant Community Manager, Aaron Webber
So once again fans waited for the next installment of Valkyria Chronicles. Came TGS 2010 Sega unveiled Valkyria 3, only to disappoint fans for a second time by stating its yet another psp exclusive.
With recent announcement of psp to ps3 ports, this has once again ignited the flame of hope that PS3 will once again see another Valkyria title. Sega should now take this opportunity to port the two games on a single disc or even as Playstation network downloads for the PS3.
Metal Gear Solid Series:
MGS fans have been waiting for a new MGS game on the playstation 3 for years now. It was expected that Hideo Kojima would reveal a new MGS game at last years E3 expo, only to show off a tech demo of MGS4 on the NGP. With this recent announcement fans can begin to hope that such MGS titles as Portable Ops, Acid, and even the much acclaimed Peace Walker. It would only be right if a HD collection of these titles were made for the PS3.
It has been hinted many times that Peacewalker would see a PS3 port. According to Kojima himself, that if the game were to be ported to console then you can expect much depth to the story.
God of War:
Yet another huge and successful Playstation game. The Playstation already has three God of war titles, two of them being an HD remake of the first two and then the third being a full pledge PS3 game. These are all direct sequels of each other, while the PSP holds two God of war exclusive, each of them being prequels. This would supply the perfect opportunity for those who missed out on these two amazing titles. And with these on the PS3, it means that the complete series can now be played on one console.
GTA: Liberty Cities Stories, GTA Vice City Stories, and GTA: ChinaTown War.
How great would it be the have these titles on home console? Gameplay would be enhanced with better camera, resolution would be in HD and plus these are some of the most fun GTA games we have had in years. GTA4 was a good game, but it just lacked the fun factor that past GTA titles supplied. Plus i never felt that it was right to play a GTA game on such a small screen.
Final Fantasy Collection:
This wouldn’t be surprising if it happened. Square Enix is known for re-releasing old Final Fantasy games. It would be great to replay titles such as Dissidia or Crisis Core on my home console. Here hoping that future FF games on PSP such as Type-0 make it onto the PS3.
Other Titles:
Ape Escape
Kingdom Hearts
Disgaea
Tales of Series
Star Ocean
Jak and Daxter Series
Ratchet and Clank Series
Sonic
Syphon Filter
Resistance Retribution
