GUN slung at PSP

By Tom Bramwell Published 11 April, 2006

Cowboy pocket.

Activision's announced a PSP version of Wild West shooter GUN.

It's being developed by Rebellion (cor, they get around a bit don't they?) in conjunction with original scribes Neversoft, and should be out this autumn.

In it, players take on the role of Cotton White, a gunslinger six-shooting his way around the late-1800s Wild West, taking on all of the stuff from the recent console versions as well as new side-missions, quick-play modes and multiplayer. There's also talk of new gameplay features, although we've yet to hear what those are.

Anyway, expect GUN Showdown to feature in some capacity at E3 next month, and in the meantime Activision's released some screenshots, including one of the smallest gunslinger in the west.

    Meh.

  • Triggerhappytel #2 6 years ago

    Why bother? This game made a non-impact on the consoles; do Activision really expect it to do better on the PSP?

  • BBIAJ #3 6 years ago

    Go Rebellion!

    I'm stilling trying to locate exactly where on Brewer Street in Oxford their studios are...

  • oerhoert #4 6 years ago

    Oh boy.

    How could this possibly be of any worth whatsoever? The original game was just fine, but most interested people have surely bought the game already, haven't they? What good will a graphically inferior portable version do?

    If they're so excited about the PSP, why not make something that will actually a.) sell and b.) be of relevance? :/

    Activision released THUG2 for PSP, which was fun enough but much better on consoles

    Activison released Spider-Man 2 for PSP, which was bad and ok enough on consoles.

    If the pattern continues, Gun on PSP yells ĞMove along, nothing to see hereğ.

    "what a waste of time...MOST of the psp's lineup i'm talking about"

    Yeah, MOST of any console's line up is a waste of time.

    I really liked GUN, so I might give this a go.

    I hope you are going to rent it then cos i cant see why anyone would pay full price for this if they already have the console version, like it or not

  • bauhaus #10 6 years ago

    This got a slaggin on the PS2, i doubt its any differant here

  • kangarootoo #11 6 years ago

    What a bunch of nay-sayers.

    It will be cheap to port and will proabbly make a profit, so good for business.

    It puts another game on the market that people can by IF THEY WANT, as in... they have the CHOICE, so good for gamers then too.

    Good news all round then, sometimes you just need to take off the jade coloured specs to see it.
