Over the weekend, reports have surfaced online that both Naughty Dog’s Uncharted series and Media Molecule’s cutesy sequel will be making the jump from their current PS3 homes to the smaller screen.
Apparently the latest issue of US games mag Game Informer (via CVG) mentions the potential portable Uncharted in a discussion about the still-not-announced PSP2: “”The developers we talked to described the PSP2 as a very powerful machine,” the mag says. “We’ve even heard that a new Uncharted spin-off…is in the works.”
The magazine also speculates that this Uncharted PSP could stand in for a full Uncharted 3, but obviously that situation has changed since the issue went to print. Sony could be looking to the Uncharted series, as a visual highlight of the PS3’s collection, to show off the new portable’s graphical power.
On top of that, Game Australia is currently listing LittleBigPlanet 2 for a 2011 release on PSP. All the product information is the same as the PS3 version, although retailer listings can be, and often are, wrong, so take this one with a pinch of salt. If true however, it could mean either a PS3 and PSP release of the same game, or a followup to the original PSP port of LittleBigPlanet, to come later in the year. If so, it’d seem more likely that the game would be coming to PSP2 instead of the current handheld, but obviously Game won’t have a category for that just yet.
Naturally, without an announcement for the console itself, we won’t be seeing Sony coming out and confirming these games just yet, but it’s interesting to see what we might be playing on the go when the company finally gets round to announcing and releasing the thing.

Uncharted, portable. musc to me ears. the only time i have ever made use of my PSP is in the caravan, and playing UC in a field being all relaxed, would be great.

Does the PSP even have any AAA titles of its own and ones that arent watered down versions of their console counterparts? Aside from Patapon I cant think of one game I’d get a PSP for that I couldnt play a bigger version of on PS3.
Come on Sony, invent some portable IP.

I’d love to see an Uncharted game on the PSP2. I’m sure Naughty Dog would do an awesome job and it would be a great way to show off what Sony’s new baby is capable of.

This is just ridiculous why can’t Sony just announce the damn thing ?
Instead we are getting flooded with rumors about games that will come out on it.
