Gran Turismo's PSP Conversion Gets Details, Video
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."
Eh? As another poster stated, the PSP has an analog controller, and from all reports, it's amazingly good.
However, most people I know who are serious GT players use the D-pad or a wheel for GT anyway, since the analog stick on the DualShock is typically too difficult for precision cornering. While it's doubtful anyone will be hooking up a wheel to the PSP, it's possible the analog control will actually be better on the PSP than the PS1/PS2.
Don't think of it as a flame---it's more like an argument that does 3d6 fire damage
