I went PaRappa...never had it for the PS and it is more unique than Crazy Taxi (which I have for the GBA).

i went with "neither"

not that I have anything against ports, I just have EVERYTHING against porting of already average games.

if you want to port, Port FFX or Okami or Shadow. or ICO

don't port already bad games.

While the PSP obviously doesn't need any more ports (especially ports of games that have been around for years, as these two have) I really want this Parappa game - the graphics, music and humor of the original are still incredibly fresh and it's so well suited to a handheld. If we *must* have ports of old PS1 games, I'd like more like this (and maybe a Jumping Flash compilation, while we're at at.)

I am not excited..at all.

Say what you want about Crazy Taxi but it was a good game and it sold very well. It might look dated but it still was a very fun game, you can say it was bad but that's only your opinion and not that of most reviews. It's average rating was 9.1. I hope that they do update the graphics for the PSP but I think it is already getting a bad rap here, a place for PSP fans?

as can be seen above, the PSP has a lot more non-ports than ports

To everyone that gets mad at all the people that hate ports. It's not the ports, so much as the price of an old outdated game.

lets see $6 for a psx game or $40-50 for a port of the same game..

I have nothing against ports either, just have no interest in either of these games.

Wish I didn't have to vote against ports in general (which I don't think is necessarily a bad thing) to express my lack of interest in these two PARTICULAR ports.

kingofwale, ignorance doesn't suit you please research the games in question next time.

With that out of the way, I want the rapp'n dog G(I love the demo for the PS).

I'm sorry, I have to leave ignorance to people who truly good at it. like yourself.

what makes you think I don't know? Feel free to read the reports of hands-on with Crazy Taxi. Both game will be horrible and further install the stereotype that PSP has no games but ports.

kingofwale you stated post #2
"don't port already bad games." this is not implying the hands on for the PSP version of crazy taxi. You are saying that an already established game that did very well in the market was a bad game. I understand it was a bad game in your opinion but that does not rationalize the reviews given to this game by both users and reviwers alike. They gave it very good reviews.

>You are saying that an already established game that did very well in the market was a bad game.


I never said it was a 'bad' game, I said it was an "average" game. now, I have nothing against Taxi, it was at the time, beautiful to look at, a great arcade game to play. But then again, that was 7 years ago.

and to port that to a system like PSP with WORSE graphics than on 7 yr old game is absolutely unacceptable.

and frankly, if this is going to come out as a full game, it lacks depth terribly. Why should I pay for this at full price when I can play my GTA's taxi mission as a "MINI game"?

A lot of games has high replay values, like FFVII, those games age well because they have fantastic storylines, this is definitely not the case here.

What does your last statement say??????
"don't port already bad games." EMPHASIZE already
How much more clear can you be??
yes the graphics are 7 years old thats not the point I am only making the point of your statement.

Whether or not the game is good or bad, whether or not you like it again I will say that the original game was a good game, had great reviews and was fun to play. If the bring the game out with just a little updated graphics then it will still be fun.

it's just a statement saying 'don't port bad games'.. If you read my FIRST paragraph, I clearly said porting 'average' game.

Of course, if you want to think about it, by comparing to games like Shadow, FFVII and ICO, those two could be considered 'bad', I'm not saying they were at their time,

but wow, played PaRappa the Rapper 2 on PSP and it was TERRIBLE!!

Taxi is reported to have BOTH graphic problem and frame-rate problem. yeah, not going to look forward to it. and frankly, PaRappa the Rapper jumped the shark already.

I don't know why everybody is so for this. we should demand Sony to port GREAT games. just look how well FF1 is doing on PSP in Japan, 5th on the top game list that includes Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings and Paper Mario. Wow

why dont they just port some saturn games instead of just ps1 games? I mean bug! panzer dragon saga, shining force 3, princess crown (in english), nights, etc.

@s2asd1sadfs1

in short, Sega is buddy-buddy with Nintendo now. so, Nights is already coming out to VC, I believe.

of course, giving PSP's hmmm... ability, there's always a way to get around it. *wink wink*
