Thanks for your support. As for the big games: The economics simply don’t work with the traditional process. We have to do something different to get AAA games on Vita. We accomplished it to a certain degree by making PS4 games work on Vita via remote play. PS Now will be another way, streaming PS3 games on Vita. I can’t wait until PS Now is out on Vita – I hope you’ll try out the experience and let me know what you think. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/05/06/new-slimmer-lighter-ps-vita-model-out-today/#comments 26th Commentary...
^^ not looking good. i have a PCH-1003, ofw 2.61, got it for 50gbp second hand, UNACTIVATED. (good value on the surface) no user profiles were created when i got the item. as far as i can tell, the serial/hw id's wasn't registered at $ony $erver$ so that's eliminated off the grid, for good! ... won't lie, but i did get it to crack, but the MOST important reason was to use my psp retails on it via a signing gui on the computer, nothing like that exists. a LOT of money down the toilet if that was brand new, and i'm talking about a legit collection that $ony refuses to account for... the vita has all the past psp's ability integrated but stuffs the honest buyer for not allowing a home method of converting their umd collection for a legit vita, i mean just abominable. they payed out already, they shouldn't have to shell out again, but this time, a file (DLC equal) NOT even a verbatim retail copy. (not talking about the SD-card ripoff but umd disks) i know there's an external disk drive for umd's on computers, not found an gui that works for sending umd's to vita from my retail stack! not a $ony fan but the gear is great, up to a point, totally gutted at the vita and ps4, because all my past retail collection is redundant as far as vita/ps4's concerned! the corporations now have to try harder, the owness is down to them to commit to the customer for once, til then, my vita gathers dust in a corner til it's cracked, or $ony listen to the masses. if others notice that vita is looking sketchy (not just one dude) then they better act fast! ..... appreciate the subject brought back into the public domain. :friendly_wink: [edit] typo...
Do people want AAA games on a handheld? You can't get a AAA experience... The screen is too small, the audio is heavily dependent on how good the users' headphones are, the controls aren't tight enough for competitive multiplayer & the setting isn't right... unless maybe if you are propped up in bed. You don't want to be "immersed" in a portable game the way you are in front of a TV. Games on handhelds should be cheaper... Cheaper to produce & cheaper to buy. I think Nintendo gets this, which is part of the reason why 3DS & DS are doing better than PSP/Vita. Plus you see game son 3DS that don't get a proper WiiU (or other console) release these days.
Uh no, the Vita is doing just fine. Its the 2nd best selling console in Japan right now and has been doing well there for awhile. Its basically taken over for the PSP in Japan which means we're going to see tons of rpg and other Japan exclusives for it. I just got the God of War collection last week for Vita here in the US and its great. I think in the US or UK we'll have to settle for these Ports or Indie games on Vita but the games either from Japan or localized from Japan should be coming out steadily. Also if you use a psp save game exploit you can run homebrew like emulators which is fantastic with the OLED screen.
The Vita is already dead in the West. In Japan there's enough garbage that the Japanese lap up for some unfathomable reason (holy shit, have Japanese developers really gone down the drain in the last decade or so or what...) to keep it alive.
Um, this is entirely dependent on one's definition of "AAA experience". For me, the most immersive story I've experienced in a video game was on the DS, and was told through still screens (and that game was Infinite Space). There are also a ton of 3DS games that I would consider "AAA experiences": Super Mario 3D Land, Fire Emblem: Awakening, Mario Kart 7 (which also features incredible multiplayer, including incredible online play), etc. As for the Vita, it will just remain exactly where it belongs: a distant second to the 3DS in a two console race.
I wouldn't say Vita is doomed. Give more time. However I would say Sony need to push harder since always lackingof advertising for PS vita. Just like idiots people and fanboys saying PS3 is dead and has no games and look how successful PS3 is now. Edit Just because official Sony replied does not mean jacked shit. Just a random Sony employee says his or her opinion, that is all. It not a official statement
You cannot get a Triple A experience because the screen is too small? Seriously what the fuck? Just accept yourself that you don't like small screen.
"Slimmer and more thin" Holy crap this thing was already paper thin and there making an even thinner model? Why...?
what te hell of PS Vita is that? it looks like the same model as PCH-2000 and have it from 2013... is that PCH-3000? (out today / 2014)
How do the PSV's buttons restrict all forms of competitive multi? The rise of mobile gaming can be blamed for the death of portable consoles. The PSV and 3DS could easily be the last of their kind.
Agreed, Sony wants people to believe the Vita is a PS3 in your pocket, when it's really not. Yeah games look alright, though games that are clearly just ports of console games look like crap. Because console games are meant to be played on a TV, not a 5 in screen. The problem I've always seen with the PSVita (and PSP to a degree) was that Sony and the devs just made watered down ports of PS3 (or PS2) games for Sony's handheld. Nintendo makes unique games that are really dependent on the 3DS' features. If I want to play Uncharted or Killzone, I'll play it on the PS3, because it's a better experience. I really hope this isn't true, phone games can be good, but they're not the same experience as a handheld console is.
When gaming on a do it all portable device was a futurist's dream the only choice you had was buying a Game Boy, Game Gear etc. The avarage person does not care for games with depth, and will not carry extra devices when their phone and already rendudant tablet can play the newest clone of Flappy Bird.
The games I ever played on the Vita , which I though was game worthy was Soul sacrifice Uncharted Golden Abyss Assassin Creed Liberation And off it goes to the dark drawer of mine, not really interested on remakes/ports and those musically miku diva games.
See the whole thread talking about how bad the sticks are. That's just one factor. That doesn't doesn't mean Vitas games are by definition "bad", it means devs don't have to spend the money on making a Vita game that they would on a PS4 game, and they should target games for the platform, not rely on console streaming/remote play.
@ Riki. and much more.. i swear it's a systematic, catalogue, PROFILING site! wasn't stupid enough to enter into the field that sidetracked from the objective, the WHOLE site was a circus act, at least it showed me all the UI tabs marked MANDATORY, all of em! this is one reason i HATE the MP/oline gaming community/system, they ruined it for the hardcore loner (!UP, NOT XUP) and the corporations went with it! accepted the fact folks like me are a dying breed, that's fine, at least i don't have to interact with another form of elitism. (and don't start there, NOBODY! i use the word 'elitim' to it's core fundamental = a class/TIER system where one group gets a say, the rest DON'T) ... $orry $ony, if one can't leave a feedback/suggestion on a public visible board (aka: you go out of you way to OBSCURE your invasive behaviour, unless the VERY, VERY small print is read and agreed to) then i officially wash my hands of the retail game and HEAVILY get into pirating you wares for FREE! :cocksure: (technically, break even) [edit] typo
