PSP Gets Obscure
I'm a sucker for a good survival horror game, especially when they're more about the horror than the action (Resident Evil, I'm looking at you), but with my busy schedule, I actually have more time to play my portables on the train than I do my consoles at home. So it's sad that there's not more survival horror games on the handhelds. Well, Playlogic Entertainment is about to add one more in September when they port the Wii/PS2/PC game Obscure: The Aftermath onto Sony's PSP.
"We received a tremendous amount of feedback from fans wanting us to bring the gruesome gore of Obscure 2 to a handheld console," said Rogier Smit, executive vice president of Playlogic. "Our talented teams have since crafted the game to fit the unique co-op capabilities and controls of the PSP while also keeping the exciting gameplay and detailed graphics featured in the console versions intact."
I know the game got some not-very-good reviews, but I'm still intrigued. They're optimizing the controls for the PSP and redesigning menus, plus the PSP version will have a unique co-op mode where a second player can join in the game at any time. Maybe those of you who played Obscure: The Aftermath on the Wii, PS2 or PC could tell me if it's worth my time? I've seen the Wii version in the bargain bins, but like I said, I'd be able to finish it quicker on a handheld!

Other stuff like this: obscure: the aftermath, pc, playlogic, ps2, psp, sony, survival horror, wii
I got it in a bargain bin for the ps2 and.. lets say I feel I got my moneys worth.
To be honest though I can't much about it other than how bad the story and the dialogue was. Bad dialogue doesn't usually bother me so thats saying something about obscure.
The guy with the baseball bat is pretty cute. I may have to pick the game up just for that. I wonder what version is better, though: Wii, PS2, or PC?
I love Obscure. It's like playing your favorite crappy horror movie. I own both the first and second and I realllllly hope they make a third.
