14 DAY TRIAL // Now this, you've gotta see. Halo 3 Beta on the PSP. It doesn't look like a hoax at all, but how is this possible? You have to take into consideration controls, the Internet connection, the PSP's processing power and of course reading the memory stick. I don't know how it was done, but Halo 3 appeared on the screen of a PSP, that much I can tell you for sure.
When you're done reading (which was just about 10 seconds ago I'm sure), check out the footage. Here are some elements I chose to highlight, referring to the quite believable gameplay footage of Halo 3 Beta on the PSP:
- First of all, the user takes the console out of a protective case. The images shown when he takes the PSP out and then places it back in after he's done gaming are quite bad actually. The camera moves around a lot and it's not certain if anything is connected to the PSP, as the user doesn't step too far away from the handheld.
- Second of all, every option and selection done on the PSP looks genuine. Although it takes him forever to select whatever he needs to play, towards the end of the whole video, he actually goes online. How the heck did he do it? Whatever it is, I'm telling you the PSP's screen shows Halo 3 in action.
- Master Chief moves 100% accordingly to button presses. There's no doubt that even if the footage was cut from a TV screen and placed over the PSP's, the user controls his character with the PSP's directional analog stick and individual buttons (square, triangle, circle and X button).
- The image is fuzzy so you can't see everything that's going on the in the menus before the game commences, plus I couldn't see any games when going online but there was indeed a list of something there, written in white.
Why don't you check it out for yourself and see if I missed anything, only to come back and call me names in the comments column.
