One of our favorite mech review sites has finally reviewed Armored Core Last Raven Portable and the verdict will surprise you too, Mechadamashii gives Last Raven Portable a 4 out of 10.
For many, Last Raven was the last “real” Armored Core game before the paradigm shift of the next generation entries. It was also a brutally difficult and thoroughly exacting game, expecting nothing short of absolute concentration and a steely set of gaming skills in order for the player to survive.
In this PSP port though, there are problems. Quite serious ones in fact. Despite resolving the input framerate issue via a data install, the entire game is still balanced as it was in the original PlayStation 2 version. Except, this time, you don’t have a DualShock 2 to help you out.
Would the controller issues be fixed by the Remote Play function of the PS3. Such as control the game from a PS3 controller. Or am I not understanding how remote play works?
I was happy with the ps2 version. I never liked the PSP so I’ll stick with what already works. Besides, Armored Core to me isn’t a game that should be played on a tiny screen.
