Good for you.
High score has nothing to do with that. In fact depending on the game that can be in the most shallow of games.
A good way to solve that problem is start pumping out a barrage of great games. Sadly this doesn't seem to do be doing it. And Sony themselves still has nothing to show.
Gravity Rush is one of the best games of the year so far.
I was mostly talking about the future. I've known about that game for a long time now and I can't say I'm very interested in it.

Spec Ops and Multiplayer? Nice! I dont really need a single player campaign when Black Ops 2 is out at the same time period.
Didn't Modern Warfare already have competitive leaderboards for spec ops, and likewise for Black Ops with zombies?
I like it when people say:
- No more ports
- Should be its own thing
- Gameplay designed for handheld, approachable in short burst
But then some completely other people say:
- y this no port
- want PS360 multi
- want console campaign
People might not like Vita or handheld experience in general and it is OK. But some of them constantly try to lock themselves out by inventing new reasons :lol
Also price point is what is more or less expected from COD games.
I am somewhat interested in this game. Mini game modes like zombies should play good on a handheld. And i hope multiplayer experience is robust.

And I doubt it is broken IW. Sledgehammer maybe?
Neversoft is working on COD games too.

I have NO problem with console ports. To me, I can chose my gameplay experience myself. If I want to play for 20 minutes, I play and put the game in the background and put the vita to sleep. If I want to play for 3 hours, I can still do so.
I don't understand why people act like full console experiences aren't a good thing for a portable? I understand that every game can't be like that but if I wanted potato chip games I'd play Angry Birds on my iPhone 4.
I'd adore a full port of Black Ops.
you can't please everyone, Here is some examples from Lego Batman 2 thread. (Handheld version was not open world but shorter mission based so it can fit handheld more I guess)
So yeah, make it a complete/full port and people will want a special and unique experience for handheld, make it a handheld friendly and people will say they want a unique experience for handheld and not just a console port.
Modern Warfare 3's Spec Ops survival mode is pretty damn addictive. It even has it's own leveling system and unlocks like the competitive multiplayer mode. The bite sized Spec Ops missions are OK, but they aren't nearly as replayable as survival. I will definitely consider buying Declassified if it has something like that.
I groaned when the game was announced at E3, because its doomed to never be exactly what everyone wants. Some people want a straight port of Blops2 with crossplay, others loathe the idea of more ports and want something totally original to the Vita.
The best case scenario would have been to have Blops2 with Vita exclusive content and mechanics, different enough to be an "enhanced edition" instead of a port, while still carrying the weight and recognition that comes with the annual marketing blitz. I have a feeling Microsoft has paid good money to be the "best" place to play Blops2, so that rules a deluxe edition on Vita out, and crossplay too I guess.
Have I mentioned that I just haven't gotten around to playing a Call of Duty this generation? I literally have no idea what people want from these games other than the multiplayer, so I hope its enough to win over the people they want to win over.

This is why MK for the Vita is the best version. Not only is it the full game, but it has Vita exclusive content, too. If it weren't for the gimped textures, it would be perfect. More companies should do something like that.
That was a bad example because they removed open world on those versions, at least in my eyes dumbing the game down and making it worse. I don't want ports on handhelds most of the time but I don't want these lesser, cheap, short burst games either. That's a big reason why the assassin's creed game looks so appealing, because it looks like a full game but new.

Same here. I don't have high hopes for it as I would have thought some gameplay would have been shown by now, I don't feel confident it'll hold up. I hope I'm wrong though as I'll easily pick up a Vita if I am.
I kind of got the impression that the Neversoft COD game was something they just started hiring for, but I could be wrong.
Sledgehammer is a good guess since they were rumored to be collaborating with Treyarch on Black Ops II but that never panned out. But maybe it was partially true and they're sharing resources and the like for the Vita game.
Either that or it's some outside developer. I can't think of anyone else within Activision.
Haha, really? So bad.

I wouldnt be surprised @ all if 3DS gets a COD game.
Vicarious Visions?
Not a bad guess, but I believe they're currently working on unspecified console titles since Guitar Hero 7 was cancelled.
Way too busy. Three projects in the pipeline, all for consoles.

Derrick you are missing out on Gravity Rush man. I had no idea this game would be so amazing. Its truly a killer ap for the Vita.
So only poor Raven left.
yup bought a Vita for GR, and yeah it's freaking amazing.
I'll likely play it eventually. By the time I get a Vita it will be extremely cheap as will the launch games so I'll be on a spending spree.

Is Unit 13 that good? I have a Vita but I have not had the chance to play it yet.

I only got the chance to play it for a few hours (a bit low on cash at the moment so borrowed it since I saw a lot of people saying good things about it)
The games mission based structure is absolutely perfect for a handheld. No deep/mysterious story here. You get a target/objective and you get points depending on how you execute things. (certain amount of points for headshots etc) It really is a well made game. Could be the best Zipper have done in a long time. I'm going to buy it after I'm done with Gravity Rush and Just Cause 2

100% Co-sign this. I had no clue about this game until someone on GAF mentioned it when the demo came out. Played for an hour and I knew I'd get it day one. I haven't even opened MGS collection yet...

If the multiplayer is like the console versions, then $50 is definitely good value for the money for me. I dont have many games other than CoD that have given me more gameplay hours than what i've payed for the games.
They priced Uncharted Golden Abyss the same way, so a friend and I just did a Buy Two Get One sale at launch.

Acting like everyone agrees with you is fun!
COD SP has always been great for me, except COD3.
Reading words like "multiplayer tailor-made for the Vita" does not exactly instill confidence that this will actually happen.
I think this is really going to end up its own thing.
Not even sure what you mean by your first statement. Surely it's not too much for you to understand when I make such a statement, I am referring to my 'personal' opinion. Don't tell me you want me to put imo after each statement I make. Rather silly way of thinking if so
But I will break this down for you
'imo'
After COD4, the COD SP campaigns have gone to the shitter

Yeah your the only guy I have heard say that. No offense man I just don't know anyone that likes the campaigns outside of MW.
BOOM
Really? I was just in some COD thread and all everyone was talking about is how shitty the campaign will be yet again. I must have missed people defending WaW. Regardless though good on you for liking them I dont mean to shit on your opinion.
