Gran Turismo's PSP Conversion Gets Details, Video

Posted by simoniker on from the zoom-zoom-zoom dept.

jasoncart writes "Sony has confirmed more details on PlayStation & PlayStation 2 killer-app Gran Turismo's upcoming port to the PSP handheld, further underlining the simplicity of PS2 to PSP conversions - series producer Kazunori Yamauchi says: 'Since we're already developing the [Gran Turismo 4]'s system on the PS2 hardware, we're planning to port that directly to the PSP.' IGN PSP has more details from the same interview, and there are also some Japanese shaky-cam videos featuring game footage playing on the PSP, one of the first times the handheld has been seen running in standalone form."

    I don't think Nintendo has "got a problem" as some of you like to point out.

    Don't be fooled by prerendered FMV (as many of you were folled before the PS2 was released... We know what a "graphical powerhouse" that really was).

    All of this expensive technology also comes at a price. I think that Nintendo should be conservative with their next portable. It will keep the costs down to a level that everyone can afford, and the games will still be fantastic and inexpensive to develop. The PSP, on the other hand, will be expensive, and will likely cost much more to make games (and manufacture them).

    I really don't think that Nintendo has anything to worry about (aside from the Sony fanboy that is already making his deposit on a PSP because he was wowed by a bit of smoke and mirror FMV tricks).
