Does PS Vita exist / Lack of Vita games at E3
- Thread starter Wario64
- Start date
lolffxiii360lol
They announced stuff before E3 as well.
Not terrible for me either, in fact it will get tons of play from me just because Disgaea, Persona 4, Ragnarok and i'm sure Atlus and Xseed will have more. I'm pretty excited for Assassins Creed on it to and may pick up that Playstation All Stars Battle for Vita where i wouldn't have for PS3. Plus i'm sure there will be PSN games, like Sound Shapes. The problem with that, and why i made the comparison to PSP is that if you are not into RPG's or those niche titles you probably won't be happy with Vita. Just like how GTA psp wasn't enough to win gamers into those type of games to the PSP. I'm not sure Assassins and CoD will be enough to win people to Vita.
Maybe CoD and I will say thats a missed opportunity on Sony's part. If they really wanted Vita to succeed they would have been better off getting a CoD Vita bundle over an Assassins Creed bundle. Hopefully they still will do a CoD bundle.

where the hell was killzone vita
or even 5 seconds of COD in motion?
Seems like Sony threw in the towel already. Only three Vita games mentioned during the whole conference, only one of those a first party game? Wow. And after announcing it a whole year ago they didn't even show anything of CoD Vita besides a logo.
Doesn't seem like a good sign that they completely glossed over Vita at E3. No price drop, didn't give gamers any real reason to own the system.

I think I'm just gonna get a Wii U and build a PC

Why, Thank You!
Sony really seems to be banking on the Vita being a miniature PS3. I don't know if that's going to work. Almost every successful handheld has been a miniature version of a console (GB = NES, Game Gear = Master System, GBA = SNES, PSP = PS2, etc.), but all of them became successful off of their own original games. Sony doesn't seem to realize that. They don't even seem to realize the nature of the killer app that saved the PSP's ass - Monster Hunter.
Ken Levine's said outright that it's taking a backseat until Infinite is completed.
Unless Sony is funding the whole thing, it's never going to see the light of day. What publisher would actually expect a significant market for a game that couldn't be out until 2014 at the earliest?

If I have to pick between one "Non-nintendo" console for my third party games next time around-it's going to be MS...no more Sony for me.
Nintendo was off to a rough start with the 3DS, but at least they made a serious effort to salvage it. They lowered the price (and even apologized for this), announced a bunch of A games at E3, and put the system back on track.
Sony? Absolutely no effort whatsoever. No price cut. No more than one or two somewhat big games at E3 for Vita. Nintendo, meanwhile, are going full steam ahead with a second conference solely for the 3DS tomorrow.
It's as if they want the Vita to fail.

That was pretty much what I was thinking after the conference was over. :lol
Gosh... does Sony even have a plan first party-wise for this thing?
Man, I've been the biggest Vita defender since its release. But even I am shaking my head right now.
In front of the world's gaming enthusiast press, thousands of core gamers at the LACC and millions watching online, they spend 40 minutes of a fucking two hour show on a book simulator and showed NOTHING new for the Vita except a 10 sec AC clip and a COD logo.
That's it, pack it up, this shit is done. Sony, hand in your portable and clear the room, because you're not wanted.

Oh i know. But i fully expect just software. Again, why do another hardware announcement so close to another, especially if they dont plan to release it soon.

I'm being completely serious when I say this, should I sell it? I've known about the NGP since the 27th of January 2011 1:30am. I had such high hopes for it, and really am truly sad right now. I can't just keep hoping on the next conference. I think it's over and I can't believe I'm saying it.

If anything, Vita should've been the main focus of Sony's conference. Was hoping they'd sell me on a Vita with some great new announcements.

I'm probably in the minority but my biggest disappointment with the Vita is the lack of PS and Minis updates. And on top of that the store hasn't even been updated properly with the games that do work on it and aren't listed, but can be transferred via a PS3. I don't regret buying the handheld but if I knew support for PS and Minis was going to be like this I would have held off until later.

Really thinking of getting a 3DS now, since Nintendo won't leave their handhelds to die (already have an iPad). Really wanted to get the white Vita, but if it's not going to even be ON, I'll just save the $$$

Seriously, screw you Sony
If Vita doesn't have a shit load of new stuff at TGS then I couldn't give a damn about it in future.

With Vita sales in the gutter, Sony comes to one of the big gaming shows and:
- Does not announce any new games.
- Barely talks about it.
- 10 seconds clip of AC3 Liberation
- COD logo, no video or gameplay on it
- Cross play demo of PSAB with PS3 that, if I try to be nice, had mixed reactions
I thought they would come out in desperation mode for it. Someone (Keighley? Whoever else) needs to ask Tretton what's up with that shit.

I was looking forward to getting a Vita but the few games I was interested aren't enough. I was waiting for Sony's E3 conference to see what they announce before making up my mind. Not going through with the purchase in the end. The lack of push from Sony, this is where they needed to make push and case for the PS Vita and address concerns regarding it, was the deciding factor.

By announcing that bundle so far ahead of time (and it selling well isn't even a sure thing), they've basically ensured that Vita will have a very dry summer, sales-wise.
Lord.
Lord.
I hope Ys IV comes out for it in English, as that's the game I want for the Vita, based on the titles for it.
But goddamn did they destroy the system. They marketed it poorly, emphasized the wrong games, and now have barely shown anything. It's amazing that Sony has such a more powerful machine but is willing to actively give the floor to Nintendo.
If this is how it must be, I for one welcome our 3DS portable king.
Holy shit! Amazing!

The problem with waiting for TGS to 'save' Vita is that anything announced there - if it even gets localized - isn't going to hit the West until Mid-2013 at the earliest. Vita needs hype for titles now that will hit in the next 4-5 months for the holiday season.

God, PSV was left to rot. Not even a mention of P4Golden, Soul Sacrifice, Hatsune Miku(ha ha), DJ MAX, nothing.
I'm waiting for the 3DS conference. A couple good titles and an RPG and I'm in.

Here's what I think will happen.
The PS Vita will become the standard controller for the PS4. You'll get one with the console, and developers will have a standard to work with - so all PS4 games will use the second screen.
It's either that, or the system is absolutely dead.

Well this ensures alot of used vitas at Gamestop. Probably a decent trickle at Amazon.

That's what was said about E3. It's over in the West, the Vita is dead here, and Sony doesn't seem to care.
