Sony presents PSP2 performance prior to E3

View of the Vita

Footage of Sony's forthcoming handheld - the NGP - has surfaced online, showing the device in action ahead of its appearance at next week's E3 Expo.

In a series of clips uploaded to the Official PlayStation Blog, the quad-core device - rumoured to be unveiled as PS Vita next week - is shown running Uncharted, a musical game called Sound Shapes and Wipeout HD, with the latter used to demonstrate cross-platform functionality.

Apparently, users can gloat by sending pictures and video of themselves taunting opponents after a heavy loss.

Sony insists the device seen in these videos is an early dev unit rather than the finished product, yet has confirmed the final build will be of a similar size. The blog concludes "What you'll eventually be able to pick up in a store will look a heck of a lot better."

The Sony PSP2, aka NGP, aka the soon-to-be-known-as PS Vita, is set for release later this year. More details will be revealed next week. ®

Abused...

"I'm sure that will never be abused."

What will happen.

Normal people: Neat! I can take a picture of myself and post it when I win!

Trolls: [photographs favorite body part]

Sony: RIGHT! THAT'S IT! [pushes out new firmware]

Normal people: HEY! I can't post my picture anymore!? What gives? Sony, why did you disable this feature you agreed to have?

Sony: <vader>We have altered the terms of your EULA. Pray we do not alter it further.</vader>

Sony: It only does what we want it to do, today.
