First details on PSP-exclusive Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny photo

Similar to how every year since the PlayStation Portable's inception has been proclaimed as the "year of the PSP," it's looking as if the popular phrase is going to continue going strong in 2009. Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny is the latest in the line of games aimed at renewing interest in the system, so now is probably as good of time as any to tell you about the recently-revealed game.

Namco gave GameSpot the opportunity to play the PSP-exclusive recently, and they summed the experience up as a game "made specifically" for the system "with many of Soulcalibur IV's features, plus enhancements and new characters."

Rather than being a straight port of SC IV minus the Star Wars characters, Broken Destiny has been designed "to target beginners and novice players with SC IV's content" alongside improvements to mechanics like "critical finish, soul crush, and armor destruction."

At this point in time, I feel extremely confident in saying that I have no idea what to think about this game. There's too little information for me to put Broken Destiny high up on my radar, but I will be looking out for whatever new details emerge in the coming months.

Well this is more like it, Namco. Soul Calibur should have graced PSP ages ago, and I would have prefered it to Tekken DR.

Its a nice fit and I'll surely buy it.

Taki and Sophia in my pocket, with great Namco classic tunes. Bring it on.

Why is it that in every Soul Blade sequel, Taki's breast keeps on growing?

@Chronic: And she's also taken to just wearing body paint too. XD

Well, at least this is a new SC on a system I actually HAVE. I may look at trying this out, though I suck horribly at it...

I don't remember there ever being a "year of the psp". nor do i expect to see one just because this game is coming out. sounds to me like some self-proclaimed sony bullshit.

It better be the year of the PSP for real because last week I dropped about $300 on a new PSP and a bunch of accessories for it.
