The Psp had some good games. It found a nitche in the states as a home for RPGs.

Now as these games age, some of them can make more profit as steam games or in the playstation store for Ps4.

Yet I have never heard of any making that transition. What is going on here? Psp emulation works just fine. Shouldn't it be possible to port something over for another system?

KH BBS made it to PS3 and 4, but other than that nothing comes to mind. I don't think the PSP has any games that would sell enough for Sony to bother porting.

Um, wake up and smell the hummus, they've literally all been ported or are being ported. Some to PC, some have been ported to ps3, and heck some are even on ps4. Even the Star Ocean psp ports are now actually on consoles like Switch if you can believe it.

The PS2 may not have been newer, but it got the GTA ports.

Crisis core. It would have done a lot better off the psp probably. I think crisis core and dissidia duodecim 012 need remakes with better graphica on a modern console. Would probably sell well. Tweak crisis core to not have that damn slot machine mechanic though

Speaking of which, I'm surprised that Persona 4 Golden hasn't been ported.

One of the two reasons I have a PS TV, the other being Tales of Hearts.

I think you're right on Crisis Core because FFVII, and god I wish the third Dissidia was like the first two. Thanks for reminding me ;_;

Yeah a couple did but looks like the MGA games and the Mega Man remakes are stuck.

Actually, there was a port for one or both of the MGA games to some old-ass cell phone but lol.

yeah. First Departure got a port in december. But second evolution is still not out, but i hope it will be soon. Thats the best SO game IMO. I still have my guide for it, and that thing was rare AF.

The best part about me forgetting about Type 0 is that I actually have the PS4 version. iirc the PSP version never came out in the west right?

It didn't but there was a translation patch long before Type-0 HD thankfully

Valkyria Chronicles 3 never getting localized is a bitter pill for me (especially after 1 and 4 on newer consoles), although thankfully that was also quickly translated years ago
