Missing Inaction

Personally, one of the most disappointing aspects of E3 2005 was the lack of PSP software on the show floor; notice that I didn't say "interesting software" or "innovative software" or "puppy-raising simulation software." Because above all else, it is simply the absolute lack of software for the platform that I find disturbing.

Daydreaming about the future possibilites that the platform will allow is not even necessary; the revolutionary gameplay experiences that the platform and it's innards allow have been available since the moment the unit hit retail shelves in the States. Case in point: Matt's Star Wars review -- it has almost nothing to do with the film, I assure you.

MATT + PSP = BLISS

Downloadable content and network play are already a reality. And while online play isn't currently available in a tremendous assortment of titles, it still exists. Right now. On the PSP. I'm not asking for Soul Calibur III, Quake PSP or a fancy new online MMO to hit tomorrow. But I would've liked some indication that interesting, innovative software is in the works. I know it is, it just would've been nice to see it.

I never thought the DS would have a more impressive showing this year than Sony's little handheld beast, but that's exactly what happened. I'll take Nintendogs, Animal Crossing, and Electroplankton over Burnout any day of the week.

Indeed, I agree. I thought that was strange as well. There was some buzz over Infected (I liked the booth girls and boys in their creepy makeup)...
