Capcom: RE Revelations not fit for Vita
- Thread starter shinobi602
- Start date
To be honest i still think the vita would be worth $250 if it has good software, but it doesn't.When the $250 price was announced it seemed like the greatest thing ever compared to the OG 3DS price at the time.
How is it a stupid decision? The choice of what to say was retarded, but the choice not to bother with a port makes alot of sense when you look at Vita software sales.

Capcom still bitter that Sony didn't suck their dicks in public for saving the psp with MH.
We get it capcom, one game saved the psp. Stop acting like a child.

Oh my. I hope Capcom informs people on the back of the box that the game requires a large TV screen and a surround sound system to play.
Take a look at the entirety of Capcom's Vita support since launch and ask yourself again. I think you'll come to a different conclusion.

Capcom:"Only late ports of shitty fighting games are fit for vita. "
Are we still getting that dragon's dogma port?

Do you know which upgrades are those?

No one can seriously believe this bullshit can they?
this..
With it being on available on PC, PS3, 360, Wii U soon, and 3DS still an option, not many people would get it on Vita. The answer itself isn't the best but it's not hard to see why they're not going with it, especially if they weren't too impressed with the 3DS version's sales.

How so? Nothing sells on Vita, and this certainly wouldn't be the game that turns out to be a million seller.
That's my guess. That answer was just awful.
Not gonna deny it won't sell a lot, but they ported it to PS3, which you can easily port to PSV, so it wouldn't have been much effort. It would be like what Ubisoft did with Rayman Origins. It was never guaranteed to sell a lot, but porting it everywhere helped it reach a good number as a whole.

Man, the Vita has so much damn potential and no developer outside of studios belonging to Sony give two shits about it.
Sony just aren't fit to make handhelds, they obviously proved that two generations in a row.

Indeed. That could potentially sour their relationship with Sony. It's best to play it safe and provide a bullshit answer rather than come out and say "Vita is a bomba, nothing sells on that platform, it's absolutely toxic, and we don't want to go anywhere near it!"
Would be if it got more awesome software. Don't get the logic in not developing games for something because it isn't selling, but it would sell if it had those games so...make the games.
Sorry, but nothing sells on Vita is false ...

I don't think porting it to Vita will get it into anymore hands, honestly. There's no market there. Capcom must have realized that, and they're trying to cut their losses and abandon the sinking ship. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we never saw another Vita game from them.
Some studios have, including Capcom and all of their titles have bombed horribly.
People didn't take to the software, expecting studios to keep throwing games at something when their products don't sell is being unreasonable.
40~ hours spent on revelations 3DS with no CPP. the game plays exactly like RE4 (IE perfectly fine) without one. Classic RE tank controls everyone familiar with the series is used to.
that said, he's very obviously just dodging the question rather than being forthright and admitting capcom doesn't see the vita as a platform worth investing in

Is just the typical Capcom test. If it sells they'll get another on rails shooter spin-off.

By all means, provide a list of all the amazing selling Vita software.

the question now is: is capcom gonna make any Vita games from this point on?
That cracked me up more than it should.
Its not Capcoms job to sell the Vita.
Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Call of Duty Black Ops: Declassified and Assassin's Creed III: Liberation sold combined as much as Monster Hunter Tri which is still not available outside Japan.

Lol poor Vita
Great gif
It'd be better than nothing, which is what the Vita is kind of facing right now.
Yeah, they can't say the real reason, obviously, because that one's just too bad.
I don't think they've announced anything in the works at all. Sales of SFxT probably didn't help much either.
No it's really not.
Even Call of Duty (what was this 310k or so? For CoD) and Ass Creed, two of the biggest franchises in gaming right now barely moved anything.
Even if we are talking in Japan where handhelds are the strongest Vita has what, 3 games over 200k?
Nothing has moved in big numbers, nothing and something like RE:R most certainly wasn't going to change that.

So you are saying that Capcom wouldn't make any money from porting the game over? Me and you both know that's absolute bullshit. The relationship between vita and Capcom is like the relationship between wii u and ea.

Exactly. I'm sick and tired of everyone trying to cover up what a mess the Vita is. The hardware is phenomenal, but third parties are abandoning ship, and Sony seems to have little-to-no interest in providing worthwhile content to save the ship from sinking hard and fast.
I have to agree with this..
