Why would you hope a shitty game sells well?

He wants the console to sell, so there are more out there and more developers support it.

Last time I checked this was Activision's game.
Personally I'm not ready to write this game off because an IGN editior wasn't completely thrilled with it.
Hopefully there will be a demo so I can try it for myself.
I forgot about that. Hopefully it hasn't been canned.
They might not know what it is, but I'm pretty sure they can feel a difference.

I wanna bet that CoD was originally going to be done by Acti, but then they were no shows, and Sony made a deal with them to let an internal studio do the title for them. Nihilistic was basically the only choice for the job.
It seems over here Resistance is selling quite well anyway. There's no telling what the game will do. I thought Resistance handled like a dream but had poor level designs and AI (from the little I tried).
I'll say that this is an interesting development though from the business side of things. If Sony is allowed a similar deal for next year, they can put a much better studio on it and be better prepared for it, if they're interested in doing so, who knows running on the Killzone engine next time.

Guess it's better on the Wii-U gamepad.
That would be a fun thread.

Nihilistic said on their Twitter account that Activision started making it late last year, but then it got handed over to Nihilistic.
Someone hurry up and make the thread

Or if it was bundled in with the Vita at the same exact price point the Vita is normally at...
Hahaha, the packaging makes it looks like you're getting BOD that has a Vita included, instead of what usually would be the other way around.

I haven't seen any game that looks as good as Killzone Vita, Uncharted, Wipeout etc on those devices.
Of course it is. There is even one game coming out on Vita which, seemingly, is handling more geometry and pushing more effects than CoD, and that is PSASBR. Don't know what they were thinking with that statement.

Uncharted Golden Abyss was also $50.
We've only seen bits of Killzone Vita, but Gameloft's Modern Combat looks great. Plays great? Maybe not. But it looks fab.

I guess I don't see how a game at least close to COD4-level visually isn't possible at the Vita's resolution.
Thanks for the info, I didn't know that. I thought Nintendo and Sony were both keeping $40 as the new standard for portable games. $50 handheld games aren't doing anyone any favors.

just saw it on youtube, I agree with you. But the last trailer of Killzone Vita also looked great. Difficult to compete with these idevices though, since they refresh the hardware so often.

I think maybe it might be the standard for now. The MSRP for Golden Abyss is $40 now. All other upcoming retail first party Vita games are $40 as well.

Yeah, the Vita will be stuck with its Quad Core A9 and SGX543 for however long it continues to exist, while smartphones and tablets will make the move to A15 (already begun) and Rogue (Q2-Q3 2013).

I'm starting to think that this game will hurt the Vita really bad. If Resistance Burning Skies is any indication, this game will be horrible. The most casual people who'll buy a Vita just to play this game will be massively disappoint, it could really hurt the perception of the console as a whole, the Vita doesn't need that.

I think most mobile games are throw away games but dead trigger looks at least as good.

This is the game PSV needs, with the developers that don't deserve to work on it.

Or the average buyer just doesn't have the same expectations as some people here. I just checked, and Resistance still gets a 4.26 average rating in the online Store, for instance. FIFA13, that relabled copy of FIFA Soccer from earlier this year, still gets a 4.80, presumably because most people didn't buy the first one and got a Vita later, for instance.
It all depends on what you're used to in a mobile platform, and if that's your frame of reference or if you're expecting the mobile versions to be the same or better as your console games.

Oh God, this is one of Vita's last hopes. It sounds awful. Hopefully Ass Lib is good.
