Hitman Reborn! downloadable demo

by Andrew Yoon { Aug 29th 2008 at 9:30PM }

Sorry we're a bit late on this one. We've been hosting it for a while, but only now did we have a chance to put it on the front page. Hopefully, we got this Japanese demo of the Reborn! game just in time for the Labor Day weekend. Enjoy!

1. Download the demo zip file.
2. Extract the contents of the zip file.
3. Connect your PSP to your computer using a USB cable.
4. Go to the PSP/GAME folder.
5. Copy NPJH90007 folder into the GAME directory. Make sure there are no sub-directories in this folder.

Dear Sony,

Can we please get English versions of these demos? Perhaps a Phantasy Star Portable one before it (if it does) comes out in the States?

Sincerely,
Rob

I would also love English language versions of these demos, but understand that if the developers don't make them then PSPFanboy can't host them... A shame though.

I've given up downloading Japanese language demos as I end up getting frustrated and annoyed, lessening my chances of enjoying the demo/game and maybe then buying it.

Anyway, back on topic, this got my hopes of a PSP Hitman game up - only to be dashed!

I thought it was a Hitman game from Eidos when I read the headline. anyone know if they are actually making a new Hitman game?

Slammed I am @ Aug 29th 2008 10:49PM

Same here. LOL

I was so excited when I read the headline. I thought that I would be able to brutally assassinate some drug lord on the go with my favorite bald-headed buddy.

Meh.

The demo's actually pretty cool. I don't know anything about the source anime, but the game's coming along pretty well. I can't even remember the last time I put my hands on a brand new 2.5D fighting game T_T !! Loved the anime-styled graphics.

Anyway. Something tells me this won't get the US treatment tho... which is a shame.

PS: Just by watching the image I knew it wasn't anything related to Agent 47 (A Hitman game on PSP would be sweet as hell tho, now that I think of it)

You know what sony, where are the good american demos? What ever happened to when you would release awesome demos like MoH, Warhammer, Ridge Racer, and so on! All it seems that you release now are either one demo ever 3 months on the PSN or some random japanese demo that the original game will probably not even hit the states! And i got the hint that this wasn't hitman by eidos when i saw Reborn! with the exclamation point at the end. It would've probably been Hitman: Reborn or something

You know what, WhiteShield? Believe it or not, the lack of American demos is due to piracy. Yeah, I said it. U.S. developers have slowed down the development of games because guess what....there's no money to be made when the targeted market doesn't actually pay for the games. I work at a game company and it's been discussed that past sales have been so abyssmal that it's not worth the costs to make future games on the psp. This isn't speculation. This isn't hearsay. This isn't opinion. This is actual good ol' American game company decision making.

If you don't like reading about Japanese demos, then how about this crazy idea....don't read about them. Go surf a country music blog to read something "foreign-free". Let the other psp fanboys who come here get our daily digestion of psp news. I don't care if it's about Japanese, American, or European games.

Someone finally speaks the truth. And guess what? Some jerk will come (as always) and try to defend piracy; speaking how it's not responsible and how there's also piracy in Japan and Blah Blah. Well GUESS WHAT? Even with piracy the japanese actually BUY their games. They have SALES figures. They make LINES to buy their games on release days. That's why it's worth it releasing stuff over there, and not here.

My respects, Rezurek.
