This has me seriously pissed. I thought Sony said they were all in on gaming. Jesus.

Does PS Vita exist / Lack of Vita games at E3
- Thread starter Wario64
- Start date
I didn't saw Sony pumping any Life to it.
Seriously. Like, all I expected was PSone support, localization of some JP titles, and some acknowledgment that this platform was something they were going to try to support in the future. AC3 is nice, but it's all the gameplay we saw. Blops only got a title screen, and the rest are multi-plat.
Depressing really.

The big Vita announcements of E3:
-PS1 support (feature that should have been available at launch)
-PS All-Stars (PS3 port, though it looks fun)
-ACIII: Liberation (moderately promising console spinoff, but from a C-tier team)
-CoD: Black Ops Declassified (console spinoff, nothing shown except a logo despite releasing this year and having been announced over 16 months ago)
So... yeah. I'm still waiting to see how Japanese support looks as of TGS before I pronounce the system DOA or whatnot, but it's getting harder and harder to avoid the conclusion that the Vita shouldn't have been launched.

This wouldn't be terrible but still underwhelming

So I guess Type 0 is now a 3DS game or what. SOMEONE SAID IT WOULD BE AT E3

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
It doesn't help that the Vita (and the 3ds as well) are big in the East aka Japan and the only real Eastern Dev'd game we've seen at any of the press events has been RE6.
Japan has basically been non existent at all of the press events. Hell all of the smaller Western Studios have been absent as well.
It's basically a signally that this is the end of the console life cycle IMO.

I wont lie, they supported the HTC thing and the STORYBOOKS of all things more than the Vita, I am worried...

Games I'm excited for on the Vita up until the end of December:
Gravity Rush
Little Big Planet
Persona 4
Street Fighter X Tekken
Playstation All Stars
Sounds Shapes
Jet Grind Radio
Call of Duty
Assassin's Creed: Liberation
That's a pretty damn good list and I'm probably missing a couple of games. That being said, Sony should have put a bigger spotlight on it here at E3. Seems like bad form not to.

Why would you do that?

I'm going to wait until the show floor opens before I declare doom. For instance, how many Japanese developed games were shown the entirety of E3 so far? Resident Evil 6, and... um...?
In short, there are very likely unannounced games on the show floor, and we may get some awesome Vita games still.
I have too much fun using PS Suite on it to sell it.
Actually, I really do need the money... And I might still be able to sell it for $200, the price I bought it at...

I really wanted a Vita but I held off because of the lack of games that interested me. Glad I did now, I'd be PISSED after that if I owned one.

Yeah, Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed are big sellers.
Seriously considering selling my system as long as i can still get a couple bucks for it. Seems like the market and publishers aren't willing to carry two traditional handhelds in this day and age.
I expected at least one big showcase announcement - but nothing ? Damn...

How could they do this to us? I have no words right now. Still in shock, denial hoping it was a bad dream.

Don't die on me Vita. I still want it sometime down the line, but you gotta show me games.
Yep, this and Gravity Rush should have been shown. They should have partnered up with Square Enix or something and get at least one big secret reveal. It is so damn frustrating that their making like Japan essentially now, try to bring life to it. They aren't lifting a god damn finger.
Sony cares more about Move than Vita.

Lets ask Sony! They'll know the answer!
Those of us stupid enough to buy one.

Was there a price drop?
They announced a new color and two (?) new games. The new color comes bundled with one of those.

Man, I don't know. What has been made painfully clear is that Sony no longer has the desire or ability to sell PS Vita hardware.
Maybe Stringer was for the idea and Hirai wanted to push tablets. Maybe Hirai's successor doesn't like the Vita. I don't know. I am sure there is a fantastic book in the making in what is going on behind the scenes with the Vita, but it's making for some shitty business.

I completely forgot about the Vita after that press conference.
How depressing. I am legitimately concerned for that system now.
