Destructoid- Rumor: Sony to unveil PSPgo apps, small games at gamescom

Destructoid- While the lack of physical media for Sony's PSPgo may be signaling the death-knell for the Universal Media Disc, it may be opening up new doors for developers.

Sources close to game development have told Destructoid that Sony is actively pushing developers to design smaller, "non-retail" games and applications for the PSP. These "non-retail" games and apps would come in priced considerably lower than the traditional retail UMDs and full games made available for download on the PlayStation Network.

i wouldn't be surprised i mean im sure the dsi has one as well

If this proves to be true, I have another reason to get a PSP Go. The handheld is priced a little high but overall oozes with quality and charm. Little Big Planet, MG:Rising, and Grand Turismo PSP should be awesome :-)

Well, it is Sony's answer to Apples free iphone/itouch SDK. Must be. They are also pushing their now renamed "Media Go" app (former Mediamanger) which is basically their version of iTunes - now with full PSN integration. Pretty obvious where this is heading.

I was surprised. If I used my PSP for more multi media applications I would be all over Media Go. In fact, I might me more inclined to use my PSP for movies and music more because of Media Go.

...I suggested it before... along with an accelerometer, but the PSP GO doesn't have one of those :(

It would really make games much more fun to play though.

I thought Sony didn't follow trends?

It'd be pretty cool I suppose. The DSiware has some apps but they're mostly meh but there's some definately cool stuff coming like Flipnote Studio(Moving Memo!) and the 6-in-1 translator.

Not on the US store right now which sucks

andy857d ago

Im definitely going to import it if possible. Hopefully PlayAsia will have it

jznrpg7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

@andy85 so you can get it from PlayAsia no Tarrifs but shipping is 23$ at least ,but it is an option. A little less than 50$ with shipping. I had to have it

andy857d ago

Coming out at £44 ($60) here. Jeez as much as I want it that's a little bit of a stupid price. Managed to find it for £35 elsewhere. Still crazy for a mug. Might wait and see if the square Enix store get it

Original Ridge Racer arcade classic coming to PlayStation in June

This will be the first time the original 1993 arcade Ridge Racer has appeared on home consoles.

I hear rumors that Evercade may also be getting a Namco Arcade cart with RR and Tekken on it. That would be sweet as their previous Namco Console carts have also recently been updated to work on the VS. Previously, they only had the license to the handheld. so the OG Evercade and the EXP and even the Alpha were supported, but not the VS.

Am i the only one that wants a Ridge Racer Type 4 Remake?
