According to the US PlayStation Blog, we should be expecting the game this week. This will be the official thread of whinning about an FPS on PSP. If Gameloft hasn't released a trailer by then, I'll be able to record video footage.
NOVA - Near Orbital Vanguard Alliance

The original FPSes like Wolfenstein and Doom never had any aiming, so I've never understood why FPSes on the PSP were supposed to be so problematic.

If it has anything to do with the PSP, it'll have a complaint.

might turn into an EU PSN whinning thread if they make us wait very long ... just sayin
could go either way, it could be horrible (Call Of Duty Roads To Victory) but it could also be awesome (Medal of Honor: Heroes) so I'm intrigued :)

You EU PSN people don't really have much to complain about on the Minis side. For example, we won't be getting Pac-Man CE until 2011.

Does North America actually have a release date for Pac-Man CE?

@onmode-ky
I cant find one.
I wonder how much N.O.V.A. will cost, I hate not knowing how much money is going to be sucked out of me ahead of time.

I suspect NOVA will be $6.

I was going to get this when it was first announced, but I dont think I will bother now. I am too bust playing NOVA 2 on the iPad. Sorry PSP

It's $4.99 on the NA store. I'll have a gameplay video up tomorrow morning.
Initial impressions are not good. The game stutters, controls awkwardly, and has loading issues. Another quality Gameloft product (tm).

Maybe it's a good thing that I don't have an iPhone or Android phone, I'm thinking that because I don't have anything to compare them to, Gameloft's minis aren't nearly as bad to me, as alot of you claim.
With that having been said, the load times are quit long in N.O.V.A., and the controls are extremely unfamiliar. BUT, I get where they were going for with the controls.
In having the aiming mapped to the stick and movement to the action buttons, you have 360 degree control on the reticle. I know that was an unnoticed issue (it wasn't really an issue) with Peace Walker, to move the reticle diagonally you had to hit two of the face buttons at once. So again I see what they were doing.
I haven't played long, but my only real issue so far is the load time. I'm just going to repeat the tutorial mission until I get the hang of the controls.

Hahahaha, that AI is about as smart as bricks. The aliens who can mount a turrent will see me move into an area the turret has no way at getting at (turrets only move 180 degrees), and stay mounted on the turrent, even if I jump in front of them, and then behind them.
I hope I can capture something like that in the video.

I haven't played it since my last post. But with such tricky controls, I would hope the AI isn't too smart, otherwise we'd be ass meat sandwitches!

Stupid me, I just realized I can swap the controls to play like Peace Walker! This game just got 10 times better! :D

My recording set up failed me, I won't be able to get any footage, sorry.

I've come across an AI contolling a turrent. Up until I got behind him and he stayed mounted, he was showing a high enough IQ to keep pumping new holes in my ass, while I was both trying to get behind him and fight off the other aliens that were also just smart enough to pump new holes in my ass!

volcane, buddy, I think your going to really enjoy it! ;)
Oh, the shotgun will be your friend. Love your shotgun, take care of your shotgun, and it will take care of you.

@Ofaliss
lol - I'm so excited! ;-) The PSP Minis platform have been waiting a decent FPS.
Still no update on the UK PSN but it can't be long now! :-)
Posted 1 year ago # -
I'm playing on a Go, and using the shotgun is when the game goes to hell. There's like some odd slow down or something that occurs when I use it.

NOVA doesn't seem to be an actual Mini. Just saying :P
Posted 1 year ago # -
I just beat the game, the ending was a little anticlimatic but hey, it's not a large scale Konami type production, so I can forgive that.
That was a helluva way to close out my mini purchases for 2010!
10/10
Oh yeah, the credits will scroll infinitly unless you exit them yourself. I sat there for like 10 minutes thinking, "I could have sworn I saw this dudes name like 50 times already!"! :D

it actually plays like a cheap psp game instead of a mini. Which makes it good but not superb.

@ Ofaliss
I have two questions:
1. how long did it take u to beat the game?
2. Would u want to go back and beat the game again?Posted 1 year ago # -
@goob
I wasn't keeping track of how long it was taking to beat the game, but if I had to guess I say about 5hrs. As far as playing it again, I already am! :DPosted 1 year ago # -
Since I double posted I'll respond to you here goob. Only campaign and you can pick any level you have completed and play it on any difficulty. There are medals you can collect by completing certain things in the game.

@Ofaliss
thanks alot. is there any other type of game mode other than the campaign?Posted 1 year ago # -
I have the game also. There are no other game modes. But you can turn off your aim assist which makes it more challenging and fun.
