ESRB: Uncharted, PAIN and more become Pinball Heroes on PSP

*Not what you're getting.

This probably wasn't what fans had in mind when they demanded an Uncharted game for Sony's handheld. A series of new ESRB ratings reveals a new pinball franchise, most likely under the PSP Minis label, based on various first-party PlayStation properties. Pinball Heroes: Uncharted is the most noteworthy of the bunch which according to the ESRB descriptor, is based on Drake's Fortune. "Players use flippers to hit the ball around a crashed airplane, into silhouetted character targets, and off bumpers shaped like gold coins to score points."

In addition to Uncharted, other franchises will be getting the pinball treatment, including High Velocity Bowling, PAIN and Hot Shots Golf. Wait, no Pinball Heroes: God of War? That's a missed opportunity!

Unfortunately, no further details of the Pinball Heroes franchise can be garnered from the ESRB listings. We're submitting a few questions to Sony (like "how much?" and "why?") and will update when we hear back.

milking you might say?

Maybe they took a Milking class from Microsoft.

The masters.

you mean Nintendo

At least they didn't learn from Activision - they milk like Tom Green.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EVDNzXiqyA if you don't know what I'm talking about.

Square Enix is the master of Milking.. HANDS DOWN.

I would love to meet the person who came up with the term "Milking".

First I would tell him to never mention such terms on the Internet because they get picked up by annoying people and ran in the ground..... Then I would probably choke him.... and have an ice cold glass of, well you get the picture.

@ GiggMan

I'm sure the term "milking" as in "extracting all you can from something", is probably older than the internet.

That being said, don't you think it's appropriate here?

I would ask them "WHY?" first then " how much?"

Clearly, the PSP can't handle the half-tuck.

it's actually 3/4. not 1/4. 1/4 tuck is for weak people.

good, no need for naughty dog to work on a PSP title. and no need for anyone other than naughty dog to do a uncharted title.

I am happy it's just Pinball.
Uncharted doesn't need a PSP version right now. If they give it away to any other than Ready At Dawn, I can't see anyone handle the quality standard it requires for the 3/4 tuck. And I don't want Naughty Dog to work with PSP, seeing what they can do with the PS3.

Also: Jak 4 damn it!

My god whats wrong with you guys? "Pfff, milking you say?".

This sounds really awesome, nice little bite sized pinball game for my PSP themed as Sony games, that sounds really sweet, looking forward to it.

Now if you want milking, then I would say... Activision..

Actually on dictionary.com it shows pictures of mario, link and samus as examples of milking

@Space
of course Link is a milker.
haven't you ever been to Lon Lon Ranch?

Yeah but i'm more so talking about the serious milking, I'm talking Guitar Hero's left and right, there was about 6 Hero games this year.

Atleast Nintendo or Sony take an ease to it, and put out good games.

@Space
Really?
here i was hoping for some o' them teats.

samus? seriously? SERIOUSLY? i can easily understand mario, and kinda understand link, but SAMUS?

They're just easy targets. I know there's been a ton of ratchet and clanks, halos, snakes and resident evils, but nintendo just won't let go of that..."triforce" of characters. It'd be nice if zelda made a 15 year hiatus. They're almost 25 years old now...move on for a little bit...

15 year hiatus?! 5 years would work much better. in the mean time, they could begin work on a GOOD star fox.

Give me a PSP-4000 with dual analoge sticks and a copy of Uncharted PSP and I'm sold.

That's a lot to ask for.

Btw Is that Armitage?

I'm not asking for anything more than any other handheld gamer has been asking for in the dual analoge setup, it is a much needed upgrade. As for Uncharted PSP it would just be nice.

Yes my avatar is of Naomi Armitage of the early 90s anime Armitage III.

i'd prefer a PSP2 with touchscreen, dual analogs, and improved battery life. and sly cooper PSP and uncharted PSP announced for it as launch games. that would MAKE my day.

Please cost 4$ .-.

3.99?

Why dont you just learn how to play real pinball? Losers.

Because the only places that still have pinball machines are places you get shot or robbed at.

Why don't you just learn to play real games? Like, at an arcade.

Oh wait, what does America not have many of any more?

God damn, do some research before being a little bitch.

Pinball: Shadow of the Colossus

I can see that happening, and it being like Metroid Prime Pinball sort of.

And it would be HILARIOUS.

I'd love an actual Uncharted game on the PSP.
But it should probably only be done if they add trophy support to the PSP.
I don't really like play single player games on my PSP when I'm on the go, so that leaves me playing it in the house when I might as well be playing my console, so trophy support would be an added incentive to play my PSP in the house.

Would have to be done by naughty dog though... But then that takes them away from a PS3 sequel...
Good dilemma to be in mind you lol.

Missed opportunity here, could've been Pinball Wizard.

A ridiculous spin-off already? For shame!!!
