No, this is not a joke. Lair can be played on PSP through PS3's Remote Play functionality. As discovered by Dubbedinenglish on the PlayStation forums, this is quite possibly the first Blu-ray PS3 game to run successfully on the PSP. By reducing the visual quality and increasing the response time, the game is actually quite playable. In fact, because the game uses the PSP's analog stick instead of tilt controls, it actually controls better than the PS3 counterpart.
Holy Crap cool!!,. I just picked up LAIR like an hour ago at Blockbuster along with Jeanne D'ark for PSP dont have a PSP yet waiting on the new model but damn that looks awesome
HEY PSPFANBOY, can PSP games be played on a TV using PS3 remote play? or does it only work one way??
Would certainly save the trouble of having to buy the component cable and save me the trouble of having to buy a component spliter as both my inputs are taken.
@9 camolespaul7 because i'm getting the new model as soon as it comes out next week, and i had the money for Jeanne D'ark and it was right there when I picked up LAIr for I figured id get it considering their price was $10 cheaper then anywhere else I thought it was safer just in case anyway.
You do realize that this is essentially VNC/remote desktop, right? The PSP isn't playing the game -- it's just serving the purpose of the interface (both input and output) via an internet connection. I can use the university's $50,000 supercomputer via my cell phone in much the same way.
