I was just about to post this, way to do so right before me :P
Either way, it looks friggen awesome. Now I just gotta decide between this and the 3DS...
They ran a cutscene from metal gear solid 4 on the psp2 at 20 FPS.
Eh. PS3 graphics really aren't that hard to do. nVidia was shipping GPUs 3x as powerful as the RSX GPU when the PS3 launched four-and-a-half years ago. So says the CEO of nVidia at least, whatever he knows :p
I mean yes at that power profile it's a trick, but still.
From what I understand, the MGS4 demo was a straight port to PSP2 code, no optimizations or lower-res assets. I'd say that's pretty good.
As for the PSP2, I wonder who the market is for this. I portable PS3 is a cool, but I'd rather just play home console games on a home console, with an HDTV and all of the buttons. The DS/3DS at least allows for unique experiences, what with the dual screens and stylus. Android phones and iPhones are now competitors in the portable space, too.
This looks freaking cool. I just hope this means the PSP's store value will drop considerably when the PSP2 is released. I really don't want to pay $170 for a 5 year old device is all I'm saying. Unless, of course, the PSP2 is someone around $250 and can play PSP games. In that case....
It's backwards compatible with downloaded PSP games, but it won't take UMD's sadly.
