considering there were tra and trl on psp, why isnt tru available on psp?

my idea is that they are concentrating more on the next gen consoles

Good question, seeing as they're bringing it out on DS (apparently).

Well there was no DS version of Anniversary while there was a PSP one; so really I just think that they flip a coin to decide which handheld gets the next game. ^.^;

In the absence of an official answer, that's as good a logic as any I guess

Did the PSP versions of TR:L/TR:A come out after the release of the other versions?

Well it would seem they're ported, and graphic quality reduced from the PS2 version (and controls changed). It's possible that they'd want the PS2 version up and running before porting to PSP...

There MUST BE a PSP version! I'll kill myself if there isn't one! Swear!

yah it could comeout in like february and i wouldnt mind, how long did tra take to come out on 360 and wii, a pretty long time, so i expect one

blahblahperson · #14 10-12-2008, 02:41 PM

maybe because the psp doesn't have enough buttons cuz its rumored that lara has 1,700 moves and it might not be enough for the psp

or theres too much graphics that the psp can't handle it

i dont really know

Commander92 · #15 10-12-2008, 08:40 PM

But since we've got TRA and TRL, I don't see why we can't have TRU on PSP.

It's worth pointing out that there aren't 1700 buttons on the Xbox360 controller, the PS3 controller, nor the PC. The only way of getting 1700 different inputs would be to have a long list of combination inputs...
(it maybe possible to get 1700 different inputs from the Wii, I wouldn't know... but it would be impracticle to control anyway).

The 1700 moves are context-dependant.
The controls for the PSP in TR:L/TR:A have been context dependant as well... and there don't appear to be so many new features that this can't continue. (shoot, use, roll, jump, adjust camera, use grapple are the main controls...)

And obviously the PSP can't handle the large amounts of next-gen graphics. It's worth pointing out that the PS2 can't either, but it's still getting a port.
The PSP graphics for TR:L were just toned down (noticeably/significantly),
for TR:A they were also toned down, but not quite to the same extent (while managing to have vast locations).

Ok, but I hope there will be a PSP version.The DS is less powerful in terms of graphics, so I don't see why we can't have a PSP version.

We're not getting it by november, nor by when the PS2 version is released. It's worth waiting to hear news of it.

The DS version won't look anything like the PS2 or next gen versions of the game. It is a separate game.
Although the PSP is superior to the DS in terms of graphics, it doesn't then make sense to say "because we got it for the DS".. it would make more sense to say that because it's availabe for the PS2 it should be released for the PSP as well.

Commander92 · #19 10-14-2008, 03:26 AM

So there MUST be a PSP version of TR:U!

TDK · #20 10-14-2008, 01:43 PM

ewww ds god no

this is kind stupid tho i dnt like the psp but its better than the ds

Devil666 · #21 10-14-2008, 10:51 PM

I don't care if they release a PSP version 2 years after 21st November! I don't really! It's just that they MUST release one! PSP controls should be just like Anniversary's and for me it doesn't matter how many of her 1700 moves she can make I just want the GAME on PSP

I liked the controls anniversary had for PSP (for the most part. I would've preferred it if Advanced toggle was actually toggle, rather than shoot to draw, and time-out until holster...)
I think anniversary started to become a bit too context sensitive for me, though. As an example, the same button to shoot as to speed up on swimming/shimmying... that just doesn't make sense to me.
I think the camera system was a lot better on TR:A than it was for TR:U... definitely an improvement on the triangle button, especially when checking for no bad guys in a room through the process of shooting about with pistols.

Commander92 · #23 10-15-2008, 05:09 AM

They could find a way for the moves and improve TRA's controls if u want it in TRU

Jhonier · #24 10-16-2008, 04:23 PM

Hello everybody my name is jhonier from colombia, about tomb raider i don´t understand why not is availiable for PSP.I am not in agreement with that decision.

Tombfan#1 · #25 10-16-2008, 04:29 PM
