I think, if Sony owns the rights to it, a standalone game with the original rules would be great. The main things I loved were the direction based attacks, the variety of cards, and the elemental/flippable game tiles that could affect a lot of different classes.
They made a PSP version of the game I used to play WAY more than the PS3 version, but I think the people who bought the full game had a sour taste in the mouth when they found out you could print the right code and "own" whatever characters that were in the booster packs.
I do agree I loved it the way it was and think it worked very well I just don't think it sold very well. I don't think I met anyone else that was aware of it, let alone played it.
I didn't know there was a PSP version though, I might have to get a ROM of it and load it up onto my vita and give it a go! I'm guessing you would recommend giving it a try? ;P
I do remember printing a load out for myself at the time when I realised it was possible but it could never replace the look and feel of real cards.
I'm going to have a search tomorrow for my set actually now after having this comversation, just to see what I actually have and check it isn't getting damp :D
Oh yeah definitely recommend checking it out, I may have to get an emulator because my PSP is deep in my closet in several different pieces currently. I've been itching to play Metal Gear Ac!d anyway, so this may be my excuse.
I've never researched a PSP emulator for Android but I may now so I can still play on the go.
Oh, I loved ac!d as well, I see you are a person of impecible tastes xD
I already have the ROM and will be giving it a go on the train later on today :D. I'm afraid I have no insights on an android emulator but there must be a good one!
I'd regularly play Eye of Judgement, Dissidia: Final Fantasy, MGS Peace Walker, both Ac!d games and, because my car had some mean subwoofers, I'd use my PSP as a skip proof media player (bass was so hard the CD player would skip anything I burned).
I started it earlier today and it is pretty nostalgic so far, I'm looking forward to putting some more time into it! Thanks for making me aware of its exsistence!
I had a similar problem with CD players in my car jumping due to bass around 07, my solution was using a power inverter and a laptop running winamp with my whole CD collection ripped onto it propped up on my centre console xD
