Resistance 2/PSP to work in harmony News
PlayStation 3 PSP News by Robert Purchese
Sony plans to make PSP game Resistance: Retribution and PS3 game Resistance 2 work together in a couple of ways.
The first unlocks extra gameplay via Infected mode: an alternate story for Resistance: Retribution where Grayson becomes a Specter and suffers from weird strain of the Chimeran virus, according to the US PlayStation blog.
The benefits to this are regenerative health and the ability to breathe underwater. Plus, Specter Grayson gets a Resistance 2 gun to use, and can unlock Plasma Grenades for that game by gathering all the available intel.
To use the mode, simply connect the PSP to the PS3 using a USB cable, then head into the Resistance 2 options and select "Infect my PSP!"
The second fancy feature is PSP Plus, which lets Resistance: Retribution be controlled by the wireless DualShock 3, rather than the fiddly PSP nubbin. As this makes things a little easier (and rumblier), developer Sony Bend is taking away aim assist and upping the challenge in PSP Plus mode.
Resistance 2 is due out for PS3 in November. Resistance: Retribution will head to PSP next spring.

That's pretty cool especially if you have a slim/lite then you can play it all on your TV through the AV out thing on the slim/lite, right.
Though surely it just proves that the psp needs 2 joysticks as the game devs even think that it would play better with two. |

it seems a cool idea until you look at it logically. ...who the hell is going to lug around a controller (plus charger) psp (plus charger) and R2. nobody |

Oh and unlocking extra content by linking your handheld to your main console didn't work for Nintendo, so why are Sony trying it? It's a stupid feature that stop everyone from experiencing all the content on their disk.

"...who the hell is going to lug around a controller (plus charger) psp (plus charger) and R2. " If that what you call looking at things logically? There is the possibility of playing it in your house you know. Do you go down the park everytime you want to use your PSP, just to get "the real experience"? |

Yeah but why play game on PSP using DS3 and would that mean I wont be holding PSP in my hand and holding my head over PSP to watch the game?!
IF however they do realise the problem and you could play PSP game via PS3/HDTV 1080p then that would magnify the low res of PSP which suits the small screen but on 42" would not be the same?! Sure I can see the benefit to PS3 from PSP unlocking extra contents but using DS3 with PSP that is a different kettle of fish! |

Using a DS3 with a PSP sounds like a Top 5 Useless Feature.
On the other hand, it's logical that you can get extras for owning both games. Nice marketing. |
