Sony has announced that Namco will be bringing the MotoGP series to the Playstation Portable in an iteration designed from the ground up for the handheld console.

The company has been rather light on specifics, however, only telling us how wonderful it will be to race against Valentino Rossi and Sete Gibernau (or, at the very least, some sort of AI counterpart. We're not sure if they'll be evil AI counterparts or not, though.)

We do know that you'll be able to play an entire season if you wish, or just a single race if the bus ride isn't all that long. There will also be ad hoc wireless multiplayer for up to eight fellow PSP racing fans. Sony, take note: The bar has just been raised.
