Obviously, the talented team is unlocking even more of PSP's power in God of War. However, "the biggest frustration right now, in a way, is the limitation on the clock speed. We'd love to run our games at 333Mhz (we do internally just for kicks) because it does make a big difference in how much stuff you can push on the platform."
So, how does Ready at Dawn feel about being responsible for two of Sony's biggest franchises? "The truth is," Malenfant explained, "we built Ready At Dawn Studios to create original IP, but ... I don't think anyone here regrets working on two of the world's biggest franchises in the meantime."
The future is bright for this Santa Ana-based team. The single most wanted request the team receives, though, is a PS2 version of Daxter. "I think everyone here would love to do it, and it actually wouldn't be that hard because Daxter was never designed as a handheld game, we could even add a few things for the PS2 version."

God no. Please don't. Every single exclusive leaves because of that. You can't build a fanbase if you cave into the 120 million demanding it.

If DMC can go to 360 "for more profit" why can't Daxter go to PS2?

Guys, on the subject of the PSP's potential. Y'know, I came to the resolution that it would never really match that PS2 level.
However, after recently playing the demo of Gundam Rengou vs. ZAFT, I am convinced that PSP can actually match, and even transcend PS2 visuals. That game was amazing, because the smooth-agile camera movements and chaotically cripst sprites reminded me of Federation vs. Zeon for the PS2, which is clearly a visual piece that past PSP Gundam titles have really struggled to match! This game clearly matches such visuals, and even outdoes PS2 gundam titles! AMAZING! My perception of the PSP has been... UPGRADED!

It won't reach the ps2 level because of the games out for it. Give it a few more years.

Many PSP titles have graphics that rival their PS2 counterpoints and I'm not the only one to think so, read the reviews on ign.com

I have *no* idea why Sony continues to insist on knee-capping its own hardware like this. I run homebrew stuff (media players, etc) at 333 MHz with no problems. Sure the battery life suffers, but so what? Buy another! Plug into the wall! Get a USB power cable and plug into your laptop! There's no sense making visuals suffer in all games just to make people think your batteries are better. I'm not saying e.g. Lumines needs to run at the absolute fastest speed, but for intensive 3D games, why not?

Is their much point on releasing this game for the PS2, when Jak 3 was prety much a perfect game in the genre. I don't see why people would buy this rather than buy Jak 3 for half the price. Anyway, they should be concentrating on GoW PSP and Daxter 2 (if there is going to be one)
