PSP will have “robust” third-party line-up for 2010, says SCEA
SCEA SVP of PR Rob Dyer has said the PSP will expect a pretty “robust” third-party line-up for 2010.
The exec said to Industry Gamers that, despite admitting to problems with piracy on the handheld, there will be a great range of games in first and third-party line-ups.
“I think we had a great lineup last year,” said Dyer. “The biggest problem that plagued PSP was piracy; we have not been able to slow that down. We think we have some answers going forward, but we’re not ready to talk about that publicly at this point.
“So we’re working on fixing that, because that’s been a big problem.”
“That said, we still have a very robust lineup this year from third parties on the PSP, starting with Metal Gear Peace Walker,” he further added.
I won’t go through the whole lineup because I want our third-party partners to make those announcements, but there are some big, big titles coming out this year and you’ll see those announcements at GDC, DPS [Destination PlayStation, which happens to take place at the end of this month, going by previous events - JC] or E3.”
Watch the mountains, then. More through the link.

E3 is under 4 months away. So pumped.
No, it’s not too early to be hyped for E3. I don’t think so anyway.

I’m interested in seeing this Resident Evil game Capcom are doing. Apparently it plays like no other RE game to date yet i think thats abit odd because the PSP with its single analogue would be quite suiting for RE4 & 5′s ‘stop, aim, shoot’ gameplay.

Going by previous events, and those only, I’d watch the mountains from tomorrow.
DPS takes place on the last Tuesday of February, according to the links I put in for the event above, if my suspections are right.
All I’m going to be doing is be aware tomorrow. *shifty eyes*

Well, they said that 2009 would be the best year ever for the PSP, and it was quite shit to be honest : The PSPGo failed, and there have just been a few good games on the platform (GTA CW, LBP, Tekken and Soulcalibur, maybe Motorstorm).
Is Sony going “Peter Molyneux” style with big announcements ?
