The problems from the console versions of Split/Second are also still present.
Split second psp portable#
I don't know how they got there, but they were responsible for about as much profanity as any portable game I've played this year. You will frequently wreck your car and not know why, and after a few hours, I realized that I was colliding with what were invisible objects jutting from each track. The D-pad works better, but it still doesn't yield the quick reaction a game like Split/Second should require. The analog stick is practically useless here, as there's a large deadzone that makes turning sluggish and infuriating you'll often overcompensate and crash as a result.

The controls and collision detection are Split/Second PSP's most frustrating problems, though. The cars look fine, but they're not amazing, and there's a poor sense of speed to the proceedings that makes it seem more like soccer moms jockeying for position than crazed reality racers trying to wipe each other out. Even navigating the courses is a chore, as turns are difficult to see coming, and Split/Second's Spartan presentation doesn't have room for a course map. There's a serious lack of important track detail in Split/Second. This doesn't feel like a design issue, it feels like a graphics problem, as your view into the distance is seriously truncated and small details are mangled in a sea of reds and browns. You can see that something's happening, but the sense of scale is absent, and more importantly, you often won't be able to see disasters in the making until far too late to take any meaningful action.

Much of the satisfaction in pulling off powerplays during the console version of Split/Second was derived from the visual spectacle on display as the world fell apart around you, and the PSP version falls short of that. That's pretty much where the charm ends though.

In this regard, Split/Second shares some of the charm of the console versions - it's fun to wreck other drivers, and when you nail six cars at once, it feels like an accomplishment. It's sort of like Mario Kart in reverse, and of course, you're as vulnerable as anyone else.

As you draft behind enemies and drift around turns, you'll earn Powerplays, which, when triggered, cause parts of the track to explode (ideally taking the competition with it).
Split second psp series#
Split/Second PSP retains the series premise of an extreme reality show where contestants race on a track rigged for destruction. With unresponsive controls, muddy graphics and bizarre collision detection, Split/ Second PSP wrecks itself pretty quickly. Unfortunately, in the transition to the PSP, Sumo Digital has made changes cause the house of cards to collapse. On the HD consoles, Split/Second is a sort of house of cards made up of various elements they all fit together just well enough to keep the whole thing standing, and it's been built pretty tall.
Split second psp ps3#
All great looking and playing games.When I reviewed Split/Second on the Xbox 360 and PS3 earlier this year, there was something I hinted at but never explicitly explained. Never played this game on psp, but played tons of burnout, test drive unlimited, midnight club, gta and gran turismo psp. Hell the switch probalbly wouldn't be out though (and I love that now). All they needed was to get monster hunter and gta on it and bam they would of got instant market share and the portables would still be a thing. It really made me confused at how Sony botched the vita like they did. Crysis core, Dissidia 1 & 2, parasite eve third birthday, Tactics Ogre, GTA liberty and vice city stories, gta china town war port, assassin Creed Bloodlines, Burnout legends and revenge, Dungeon siege, Syphon Filter dark mirror, Killzone Liberation, Monster hunter freedom 1-2, unite and portable 3rd. Wonder how hard it is to get a replacement now. I looked it up and apparently it's the glue that comes off the screen. My black psp 3000 has one problem the screen has a big transparent square about a half an inch in on all sides. Even had the go at one point but returned it.

I had moved to a 3000 and had to re-buy it after leaving it on top my car (I took it to work daily). My daughter I got the pink psp and she played sims 2 and that's about it. Gave my son the white vader psp 2000 and he mostly played pokemon gameboy roms on it. Click to expand.I do still have mine, I loved it, i had a few of them.
