According to a press release issued by Ubisoft, the company's Montréal studio is going to be bringing a game based on the popular television show Lost to gamers in 2007. While no consoles were specifically named, a line from the press release stating that the game would be coming to "home and portable consoles as well as PCs" has us
As a big fan of the show, I'm pretty excited that a game based on the show is going to see the light of day. In attempting to think of how a game like this would play, however, I'm a bit stumped. It's not like the PSP would allow for episodic content, so that idea is out (or is it?). How do all of you out there think a game like Lost could excel on the platform?

Some downloadable episodic content would help alot of people dust off their PSPs. I love Lost enough to have spent time on their fake websites and reading the book that was written by an author that died on Oceanic flight 815. There is nothing I would love more than getting more LOST delivered to my PSP.
Having to read japanese to download the demo of Loco Roco was a pain, but it made me feel like there was a little ray of hope that maybe the PSP would finally get some unique use. The PSP has been out long enough that we should:
-Be able to download music/video from Sony Connect
-Be able to download games from Sony
-Have more support from Sony for people that want to put out Pspmagazines/comics
-Download PS1 games
All of these are things that people would even be willing to pay for!
I'm tired of loading up the Sony Connect once a month in hopes of seeing something new to increase the utilization of this wonderful piece of hardware, only to find the same damn Speed Racer video. At least Sony updated some of their own PSP website while E3 was going on. I even bought the PSP media manager software hoping that it would make the situation better, but its like the most gimpy version of a file manager that you could imagine. Sony doesn't even update the RSS feeds that come up within the program. You would think that they would at least come up with some that do a little self promotion for Sony Music/Games/Movies...
PLEASE SONY: LET THE HARDWARE LIVE UP TO ITS POTENTIAL!

I'm actually sacred of what this game may become... I love the series and just think the game will be terrible. But maybe I'll be surprised.
Episodic content and demos for PSP would be most welcome. Too bad the LocoRoco demo is only in japanese (where are the demos on the other psp sites?)

To truly catch the spirit of Lost (a programme I too enjoy), the game would have to be a never-ending spiral of confusing tidbits and whispering, shadowy characters.
It should also manage to expand every 25 minutes of action into at least an hour's real time. Some sort of load-time issue should take care of that.
