Last month, Sony announced that Monster Hunter Portable 3rd was headed to the PlayStation 3 as Monster Hunter 3rd HD . Earlier this month, we got word that Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is also headed to the PlayStation 3. If you were curious if Sony was up to something with all of these PSP ports, well, they are.
Enter the “PSP Engine”, a base engine for porting over PSP titles to the PS3. According to a report by Famitsu (via Andriasang), the engine will act as a middle ground, allowing for smooth transitions from the handheld over to the PS3. The features included in the engine include support for dual analogue controls, high resolution rendering, main memory and graphic memory expansion and, of course, support for stereoscopic 3D.
Now that Sony’s come out and announced a whole engine for porting PSP titles, it sounds to me like we’ll be hearing about a whole lot more “PSP Remasters” in the coming months.
