Hmm, somehow I never knew NOVA was on PSP. Not sure why they played this game on the channel (no reason to play this when you can play the phone version, other than the novelty that it's on PSP, but if you're not going to compare versions or know anything about the NOVA franchise then why bother?), but ok, I guess it's worth knowing it did exist.
Seems like a good FPS for PSP actually, since Halo has that kind of heavy, assist-aim-friendly shooting system that might work okay with only 1 analog stick. I always wanted to play the NOVAs and kept thinking GameLoft would go crazy porting its many, many clones to PSP/DS or even 3DS/Vita when they were a 'hot' mobile studio and had a lot of clones of games ready for platforms where the originals were not getting portable versions. Gameloft did bring over a few Asphalts on different platforms over the years, I forgot that they did Hero of Sparta 1 on PSP, and then Modern Combat Blackout came to Switch, not much else. Nothing of theirs is great AFAIK, so no great loss, but back you knew there never was going to be a portable Halo (the only hope ever was
Halo DS and the hysterical vaporware
Halo on Gizmondo... now at least we have Steam Deck / MS Surface,) a Halo clone on the go might have been something for a little bit.
