I won't go any further than this...but Sony needs to do what Nintendo just did.
If that's what it takes.You mean reinforce the statement that people only buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games?
Only half-kidding.
If that's what it takes.
PS3 would've been a goner had Sony not assaulted us with irresistible first party titles that differentiated it from its less expensive competition. Vita's first-party output has been a quiet stream in comparison, and the few standouts get zero marketing support.
PSP sold many people on the promise of portable GT, FF7:CC, GTA, etc. before it was even released, and those games helped lure in people who maybe weren't too enamored with the launch line-up, but who at least had something to look forward to. Vita would be well-served by a couple "paper" announcements of games that actually matter.
(Of course, it only works if done right (*cough* COD *cough* Bioshock)
What did Nintendo do?
What, only show a bunch of screenshots of some games and then say "we got this stuff coming at E3?" Sony already did that, and they have Destination PlayStation coming up. If Sony did that, they'd be castrated. But since Nintendo did it, and EVERYBODY LOOOOOOOVES NINTENDO, they get away with a crappy pre-ejaculation of games.

I know they're busy with Ascension but it's crazy not even outsourcing to a good team a God of War Vita, I mean it's one of their most popular franchise in the west and would help sell a few systems. I feel Sony is not even trying sometimesAnyone else want to see a God of War title on Vita? I know the PSP ones are available but NO TROPHIES!!1!asdf
After saying in the Alundra thread yesterday that I'd kill for a LTTP HD release my heart skipped a beat when I skimmed the headline. Not fussed about WW though, not one of my faves and it already looked great. :/Announce a shit load of games and ruin the look of Wind Waker in the process
The Vita Heaven events never have quite the same impact.God the game announced at Nintendo Direct were a shock...we need a god damn Vita Direct =/

There was supposed to be one in July, and Sony even advertised it on Japanese subways and television.I thought I remembered there being a second event, obviously mistaken.

Can't wait until E3! All those Orbis announcements! We might get a sympathy port of something like Home or Calling all cars! Excite!
Man calling all cars was cool: would suit vita really well

We can only hope. It's a retailer event, and Sony's going to have to pull out all the stops to convince the shelf-starved Gamestops of the world to continue stocking Vita and ordering Vita games.Well, there's going to be new Vita stuff at Destination Playstation next month. We can only hope bombshells of this magnitude are dropped there. But...Megaten X Fire Emblem is pretty hard to top. :/

Never happened, and we never learned why.
Yes, I was really shocked when Iwata announced a new Mario, Mario Kart, and Zelda titles. I never would've guessed these multi-million unit sellers would receive sequels.

Don't be an ass, you know what I mean.
The only Sony "franchise" game we've seen on the Vita is Uncharted and that's about it. We have Killzone coming...eventually? Tearaway too, but there aren't any megatons, SMT X FE was a total mindfuck.

Dat new monolithsoft game :/
Tbh I can see Sony having a really long conference again and basically splitting it in half - the first is to say sorry about vita here's some games I'm the horizon. To help you play them the system has a price cut, here's a new memory card and prices are down.
Then the second half is all ps4
I would argue that LBP is a franchise game for sony
anyways what would you consider a megaton for the vita?

There is less lag when playing a game.god of war played great.just tried remote play for my first time....well i didnt play any games, but i ran around the ps4 menu, it was fun seeing my ps3 on my vita. but a bit laggy. not sure how to really play a game that way.
FF Versus new GTA, Fallout 4 etc.

LOL @ some people "Monolith Soft beat SE to FFXIIIV with X hurp derp hurp"
LBP,Wipeout and Resistance are very good but they are not GoW,UC or GT and Resistance could have been SO much better.lol... me to.. and I´m the one who posted it.. lol..
But whatever, I have a some games I need to play on my Vita.. and a rather large PS3backlog.. so I´m not in a hurry for new games right now..
Hey now, this is the meta talk that means we have to get a new thread so shhh ;p
What did Nintendo do?
Announce a bunch of games from the same tired franchises.
The monolith game looked pretty good though.
