Patapon 3 trailer reveals eight-person multiplayer
47
We have to imagine the sound of eight people playing any Patapon game collectively could be a bit on the overwhelming side. But that's exactly what Patapon 3 will feature when it arrives sometime "between now and December." The latest trailer of the game comes from Gamescom and gives us a much better idea of all the new features the game will come with. New enemies? You bet! New skills and weapons? No doubt! Eight-person multiplayer? For sure! Pink and fluffy bunnies? Okay, you've gone too far.

Some games feel perfect only on the PSP.
Patapon and Monster Hunter are some examples.

I love my PSP. So you, Assmar, can cease your nonsense and realize that the PSP needs some exclusives to itself.

@Assmar yeah I started the video and as soon as I saw the psp logo I just stopped it, I already have a ps3 so a psp is pointless to me. Either I choose a system where I can buy my own physical games that come on silly little discs or I have to buy a 250 dollar system that I can only download games for. Case in point
1. For 50 dollars more I would rather have another PS3
2. I already own an ipod touch which doesn't have really good AAA titles, but it gets the job done when I'm bored and games are only .99 versus 20-30 bucks.
3. I could be corrected on certain points, but the PSP GO is just a marketing laughing stock and I'm already happy with my PS3 and ipod.
I like your point about the PSN titles being available for PS3 AND PSP, because gamers should have more choice I suppose?

thats taking it too far, the iPhone has actually proven that it can be a gaming platform for *certain* type of games... what it does suck as is for games that need physical buttons, a touchscreen sucks for most games that try to copy what the PSP has, the iPhone should be developed with touchscreen in mind.

@ buzski

Looks good, but sadly nobody I know owns a psp, so the multiplayer won't do anything for me.

You guys clearly didn't play the beta/demo.
New weapons (poison, greatshields, crossbows, kibapons wield spears and shields but can use halberds. Dekapon wields a shield too. multi layer levels, limited platforming/puzzles, multiple boss like enemies in one level, chests(like eggs in 2), 8 player competative with deathmatch and territory capture game modes, all new summoning to replace juju.
It's awesome.

Is it Ad Hoc only? Cause it seems Infrastructure doesn't exist on the PSP anymore.

Ad Hoc party is useless to a lot of people since you need a wired connection to your modem/router for it to work, and that is either impossible or just plain annoying. What's so difficult about making the game have an online mode that isn't limited as Ad Hoc and it's stupid Party, since the PSP is able to connect directly to the internet.

Just out of pure curiosity, why did Patapon 2 being downloadable-only dissuade you from purchasing it?

You'll be happy to know a UMD Patapon 2 game is available in your local retail outlet, also online. I have it, as well as the fake retail copy. (yes I bought it twice) but the total cost to me was less than $13. Because the fake retail Patapon was $3.76, on clerance a year ago.

I just like to own my content King. I don't quite feel that's the case with digital distribution. I like the idea that I can fire up my NES and sit down with Blaster Master or Simon's Quest all these years later. I'm a bit of a collector.
