Playstation invites UK press for "slim" reveal
- Thread starter Massa
- Start date
It doesn't. There are several games which use the Vita's touch features that need to be patched to work on Vita TV, but Tearaway just flat-out won't work. The game is designed tightly around the Vita's form factor and putting it on any other system with different inputs would break it from a design perspective.
In short, it's the last game I expect to see working on Vita TV.

I would contemplate rebuying (sold my original) Vita at that price with a 16GB card... would be better if they announced the new model could use SD cards though...

It doesn't but there's nothing stopping Sony from producing a controller specifically for playing Vita games on Vita TV!
So vita tv is pointless... I actually wouldnt mind buying it for 100 euros if everything worked. Just to play some tearaway and other funky stuff.
I'd buy one so that I could stream my PS4 to my bedroom TV. Probably wouldn't even touch the Vita features, I have a Vita for that.

It could be a revelation to the "slimmest frontier to reality", so the VR headshet.

Vita TV, Vita 2K, perhaps even a PS3 superslim?
Pretty much the same.

This is the exact day of the Nintendo Direct
I think it is the Slim Dualshock 4 reveal.. so slim it will cut your hands off after 30 minutes of Resogun.

Probably Vita TV, I guess. It needs to be as cheap as possible if they want it to be a success - £80 vanilla, or £100 with a controller (or £115 with a Dualshock 4?). Even then I think it's compromised hardware as some of the best Vita games won't work on it.
I can't imagine it's the Vita 2000, or whatever it's known as. Either way, if they're holding a Vita-focused event, hopefully they'll announce at least some new software. Preferably games that aren't ports.

I don't think they can slim the PS3 even more.
At least not with an internal power brick.
This is either Vita 200 or Vita TV. Maybe both.

Playstation Now Easter Beta. A guy can dream right? Even if there is no correlation between slim and Playstation now.
It's a niche device, but if Sony pitch it right (i.e. not as a Vita) it could find its audience.
Provided they can get the support, they should pitch it as a Netflix/other apps similar to what Apple TV/Roku does, but with...
- PS4 streaming
- Library support for pretty much every PS1 and PSP game available on PSN.
- Future PS Now support
- And it also plays some of Vita's best games like Persona 4 Golden and Killzone Mercenary.
I wouldn't say it's pointless, but it is if you're just looking at it as a Vita. If you want a Vita, get a Vita. Vita TV changes nothing in that respect.

This would be my whole purpose for it, or to put one around my gf's house so she could use my PS4 or we could do co-op together with it.

Is it too hopeful to think tons of new vita exclusives will be revealed for this possible vita only event.

Playstation TV 2 with a built in Vita TV.
Now that would be dumb.
E: Can the Vita TV stream games from a nearby PS3 as well?

If the reveal is accompanied by a price drop I'll be doing just that...

Perhaps they'll show VitaTV using PSNow.

A new VITA would be cool, but they're not getting me to buy one until there are more games for it.
The Vita 2000 is the slimmest among the PSPs and Vita 1000, so it'll be the 2000 announcement. So it seems they have finally sold out most of the old Vita stock..
I really really hope it isn't the Vita TV. There is no point in launching it until PS Now is released as well, it would only hurt the product to release it now. Better to save it for the Now hype.

A PS3 in a PS2 Slim form factor would be amazing.
It's not a fucking Gizmondo.
It's just as classy as all these smartphones people love.
Nah, it'll be the main thing.Vita Slim + Vita TV as a "One more thing..."

Has to be the new Vita.
Really wished they would have just released a proper compact Vita, even if it didn't have the OLED screen.

I am inclined to believe this is it.
No way is it a PS4 and the Vita recently had two revisions with the new design and VitaTV.
A whole big press just to do the same thing again?
Wouldn't make sense.

Vita TV (showing PSNow running on it)
Vita Slim (all four colours)
64GB memory cards
Price drop.
Perhaps: A controller designed specifically for playing Vita games on the VitaTV.
