Check out this all new gameplay trailer for Final Fantasy\u00a0Versus XIII! Blew my mind totally! FF Versus 13 is going to be an action RPG that could be similar to Kingdom Hearts and Crisis Core.

Square-Enix would be producing a sequel to the original FF XIII titled FF XIII-2! While I certainly hope it would not be another sequel that disappoints fans as in FF X-2, I am keeping my finger cross hoping that Square-Enix will be able to deliver a great sequel to FF XIII.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Next\u00a0Generation Portable (PSP 2)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sony has officially announced the new upcoming PSP2 codename NGP (Next-Generation Portable). According to Sony, NGP features graphics that are comparable to the PS3, GPS for location-based services, cameras, two analog sticks (real sticks unlike the old PSP), Wifi, rear touch pad, OLED multi-touch screen\u00a0and many more. Sony&#8217;s probably hoping to counter the poor performance of its PSP-Go launched last October. And yes, no more cumbersome UMD. Instead game will be available on a new flash storage. I forsee yet another a tough battle with piracy for this PSP successor.<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"560\" height=\"340\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/QXR1MbAOGLM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<p>What? Sony is also making its PSP titles available on Android tablet? This is indeed a brave move. If an Android tablet can play PSP games, why get a PSP console? Yet another sign that mobile gaming is now converging. Very soon you will be playing Monster Hunter on your Ipad. Not to mention Sony is also coming out with its own version of mobile phone, the PSP Phone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/sony-ericsson-psp-phone-concept-looks-great-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"627\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/?attachment_id=627\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/sony-ericsson-psp-phone-concept-looks-great-2.jpg?fit=350%2C350&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"350,350\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"PSP Phone\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/sony-ericsson-psp-phone-concept-looks-great-2.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/sony-ericsson-psp-phone-concept-looks-great-2.jpg?fit=350%2C350&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-627\" title=\"PSP Phone Concept\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/sony-ericsson-psp-phone-concept-looks-great-2.jpg?resize=350%2C350\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/sony-ericsson-psp-phone-concept-looks-great-2.jpg?w=350&amp;ssl=1 350w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/sony-ericsson-psp-phone-concept-looks-great-2.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/sony-ericsson-psp-phone-concept-looks-great-2.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Final Fantasy\u00a0Versus XIII Haven&#8217;t got enough of Final Fantasy XIII?
