It's not quite clear to what extent the PSP edition of the Warriors will mirror either the film or last year's console games. Other film-to-game adaptations like Electronic Arts' The Godfather and Vivendi's Scarface have been significantly altered on their way to Sony's portable.

Rockstar founder Sam Houser said in a statement that the company was "looking forward to setting the definitive bar for the brawler genre" on the PSP, but that was quickly followed by Rockstar Leeds president Gordon Hall's comment that "the PSP system allows us to deliver the experience in an entirely different way..."

Whatever form The Warriors on the PSP takes, gamers can expect it on North American and European shelves by the end of the year.
It could be a pretty good game if they don't completely change the game in the transition.

I loved the Warriors on XBOX, I hope it stays close.

Please don't "reinvent" it like with Scarface and The Godfather.

Yuck. C'mon, mediocre turn-based strategy games for PSP that cost $50? Just an awful, awful choice.

Yeah, but hopefully they add something worthwhile. Otherwise, I don't see any reason to buy this if it's a direct port of the Xbox/PS2 version.

Me either... it's just further giving the PSP a reptuation for "quick and dirty ports". I've already played and beaten The Warriors, I hope they make this one somewhat different, espically waaaaay after the fact like this.

Since when does announcing it so soon before its release date means it's a quick and dirty port?

It does make you wonder why they never mentioned it before. Video game sales are influenced more by hype than the gameplay, graphics, or premise. It'll be even more shaky if they don't give a copy to any of the gaming sites/magazines before the release date.
