Sony says Vita was developed for PS4 more than PS3, not unreasonable to own both

sure but why play Gran Turismo 6 in gimped fashion on a low res screen when i could play that on my PS4 when the eventual PS4 version comes out
what the Vita needs is a GT game built for the Vita
same with every other game
sure all the hipster 2d platformers will work fine, but most of those are coming to Vita anyways

You will want to get a second job to afford both.

I'm willing to bet a third party introduces a grip that surrounds the Vita in such a way that gives you physical buttons/triggers on the back that will activate the back touch screen in various locations. Like small felt points of impact like they have on various stylus you can use in touch devices inside the grip. They already have trigger grips that preform the same function on the L and R triggers on the Vita and they work really well.
Million dollar idea!

And the statement that it has a library of games that appeal to YOU would also be more accurate. It goes both ways, pal. Don't pretend you're being objective
great and now its no longer a portable!

I play Wii U games more on the gamepad than I do the TV if they have the support. Been waiting for proper Remote Play for ages with the PS3/Vita, so I welcome the PS4/Vita combo with open arms.

Has this been confirmed? I thought streaming PS4 games required a direct connection between Vita and PS4. Regardless, streaming PS4 games over the internet would be horribly laggy.

And that's fine for those of you who own Vitas, but when I and probably quite a few others see a lot of games available on PC or PS3 or both, it does absolutely nothing to make the system more attractive. Unless $250 for portability seems worth it.
you dont mind the much lower res or washed out colors?
just an honest question
i guess because graphics and IQ are a top concern for me ive found the gamepad useless... i think it looks bad

I am when there are lots of games that appeal to lots of people. To say it doesn't have games would infer that no one had actually made anything for it which isn't true. The fact is that it has 3 generations of games readily available for it which means it does have a large library of games available.
If those don't appeal to you then fair enough but I hate it when people say it has no games. What most people tend to mean when they say is that they want the system to be cheaper.
well discarding the ps1 and psp games (because thats bullshit to count, otherwise wii is the best system of all time) i still think it has a good library of retail games up to this point
but the future looks grim as hell. where are the games that are not indie and come on carts?

Doesn't add much to the overall size at all, in fact it's tough to go back to playing the Vita without it

It's a bad sign for a portable when the reasoning to buy it is to play another platform's games on it.
I'm really really glad I'm not as miserable as you appear to be based on your posts. Goddamn man, playing Watch Dogs on the toilet is going to be awesome!!
You seriously are the worst at straw man arguments. I've seen in like three threads over the past few days.

There is still very little reason to own vita over any other system

See, now you changed it. Now it's a "large library" instead of a "great library." I never disputed that games do exist on the system, you interpreted it too literally (or chose to since you're back pedaling at this point.) I don't care if you tell me games exist on the system, I care if you try to tell me those games are great and then pretend that's an objective statement.

Or it's a pretty huge advantage in terms of functionality. There is no downside to remote play on a platform with anemic sales.
Making it a companion to the PS4 and focusing on making it an indie dumping ground makes way more sense than throwing themselves against the rocks trying to get western gamers to care about it with expensive exclusive software that undersells.
Face it, dedicated portable handhelds are going to be increasingly niche in the face of smartphones and tablets. 3DS has found an audience here because of the same very popular Nintendo properties, but Sony first party doesn't have that kind of draw, and Western third parties just don't see a reason to develop for either 3DS or Vita.
If you don't already own one you probably just aren't the market for it, and should just move on. Gnashing your teeth at every little attempt to make the thing more worth owning is just obnoxious since you're never going to want one.

Is this not the same thing?

When speaking of giving the PSVita a 'much needed shot in the arm' I would expect the response to talk about games and a possible price cut. Not to 'buy a PS4 and play those games'.
I've spoke in a few threads about Remote Play being a great feature, I'm not knocking it.
This. lol
If there isn't horrible latency, I'll probably be playing most PS4 games through remote play.
A straw man argument is when you create a weaker argument than what is actually stated so you can deride it more easily. I'm not sure what Sony is saying has anything to do with that. There are plenty of reasons to knock the Vita, I think every fan of the system will acknowledge the memory card prices, lack of system selling games, etc. I just found your statement completely misrepresentative and called you on it.

Nowhere in his response does Fergal speak of anything other than playing PS4 games (Watch Dogs in this instance) on the PSVita. How was my remark misrepresentative?
With a decent 802.11n router you should be fine, maybe around 3ms for connection between Vita and router, 3 ms PS4 and router, and maybe 5 ms processing time at each end. Altogether 16ms latency is unnoticeable I think. Yes, I pulled these numbers out of thin air.

I would only buy a Vita if I can play games on my TV

Playing 64 player Battlefield 4 MP on Vita is going to be one hell of an experience.
Its an interesting idea for sure and I'm curious to see how it pans out for Vita.
Being able to play PS3 games via Gaikai on PS4 would mean that Vita too would play them I'm guessing.
So essentially, Vita would have access to PS1, PSP, PS3, PS4, Vita specific games and mobile games.

What are you on about? It is reasonable to slam the Vita for lack of games but the device itself is awesome.

Yeah, it's a bizarre question. It's clearly a product designed for the handheld market as it existed in 2007-08.
I know what you mean. I was going to buy a boat, but the piece of shit doesn't even fly.

ice cold....
1. You're a poster on Neogaf, you know other reasons yourself.
2. There have been many other statements about Vita over the past few months.
3. He was talking about how the Vita interacts with the PS4, what else were you expecting him to talk about?
On the PSP you mean? The interaction between the Vita and PS4 is different than the PSP/PS3 or Vita/PS3.
