Xadrez — 3D Chess on the PSP!

greg | August 23, 2007

jbastos has released what appears to be, now correct me if I’m wrong, the first 3D chess game for the PSP. It features specular highlights, stencil reflections, and color blend. Very sexy for its initial release.

I’ve been playing Chess since grade 5 — yeah, so what, I’m a geek, wanna fight about it? You’re just lucky this current version only permits 1 player VS. the CPU. Perhaps in future releases we’ll see 2 player support, and if we’re really lucky, WiFi enabled multiplayer!

Keep in mind; jbastos is in the early stages of development with Xadrez. Unforeseen problems may occur.

Nice work jbastos. Thanks for bringing Chess back into my life. :)

mortal kombat armageddon psp includes a 3-d chess…but it sucks big time :D

Comment by karuro is fuckin retarded
2007-08-25 03:09:41

mortal kombat may have called it chess, but it was nothing of the sort. to take a piece you had to win a fight.

Iv found problems. The AI opponent is always perfect which is annoying and also the highlighter needs adjusting when you move the board about. Other then that it’s a loverly made game.

Make it a multiplayer game and we’re in business.

If you can’t add adhoc (sending F2, G6 moves through the wifi), at least make it playable on the same console… I mean, after you’re done trinking and you make your move, you give the PSP to your friend. After he makes his move, you make yours and so on…

It shouldn’t be too hard.

Wow Great Visuals. Love the way you can view from different angles. Not bad when Homebrew is starting to get better than UMD games and 1/100th to size as well. Top marks for this one
