We’re still sulking a bit that we didn’t get asked to go over to Japan to see the launch of the NGP. We’d have sent Lee, he’d have spoken Japanese to people and brought back colourful packets of delicious sweets for us all. Still, we’ll no doubt get to see it at some point (soon, we hope) when Sony show it off in Europe.
Thankfully, Engadget were there with their camcorder to film the video screen in a very shaky manner. We’re not sure they’re allowed to do this but hey, if it gets us a look at Drake being all adventurous and stuff then we won’t complain too much. There’s also some demonstration of some of the cool control features.
Uncharted on this new handheld is being developed by Sony Bend and, judging by the early impressions we’re hearing out of Japan, it’s already quite impressive. We hope to get a look for ourselves as soon as possible.

I can’t wait to see a proper trailer for the new portable Uncharted game. It’ll almost certainly be the first title I get for the new NGP/PSP2, that’s assuming it’s a launch title of course!!

Love it but we still need to hear about the battery life time, the PSN downloads (will you need to buy the games again), how movies will work (harddrive?), are the NGP versions of Uncharted and so on stand alone titles or just ports?
The bad news is that since Sony Bend is working on Uncharted we probably won’t see a PS3 Syphon Filter.

You can redownload your psn games onto your PSP2 :)

Certainly looks on par with the PS3. Now we just need to hope that the price aspect isn’t.

looks visually great but i can see the touch screen becoming a bit clunky and unresponsive but its not complusary to use but loving a new story to uncharted, cant wait

Crossing all of my fingers hoping this will be of the same quality as ND’s console-Uncharteds. If so, I’ll gladly invest on a PSP2 to play this!

hope its ready for release the same time as the console. Double uncharted goodness!

loving the back touch pad vine climbing gimmick! hope theres not too much of it though

I like the idea of integrating the touch features but I think it could wear out quickly, in which case I hope you can stick to normal controls.

Wow looks like Uncharted alright! cant wait

This looks really, really good, but I hope the gimmicky touch controls are optional. I’d much rather use buttons (lazy me)

Ditto. No fatty fingers on my screen.

Does the camera man behind his back mean there is no video-out option (mini hdmi) on this thing?
(I know there is a lot it can do.. but hey I like having a mediaplayer when on holiday)
