E3 week flash sale

I doubt we even get that. Vita games that go on sale nowadays are so few and far between.
There's been flash weeks with more PS3 games. You'd think with the system being in such a state there would be more fire sales for the game to the people who do still play it regularly.

 

[Moze]

I expect them to say the word Vita no more than five times during the entire conference. Nearly every one of those mentions will be preceded by "coming for PS4 and a digital release on."

I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't mentioned at all.

 

[SFenton]

I expect nothing and I'll still be disappointed.

I expect a large portion of Vita devs will move to the Switch within the next year.

 

[WickedLaharl]

I'm expecting Sony to answer to the Switch, possibly announce 1 or 2 first-party ports to advertise their presence in the handheld market and demonstrate the PS4-Vita Wifi connection (read quite a few successful accounts of Persona 5 owners using it flawlessly)

yeah so you are either completely ignorant about how Sony treats the vita at E3or you're just trolling

this gif is how sony has treated the vita for years at e3

Pretty convinced this is just an elaborate troll at this point.

 

[LambdaTeos]

I know Deemo is coming this May...and... that's everything i'm looking forward to...

 

[Nesther]

I'm fairly certain the Vita will not be mentioned once at the Sony conference. Not even a sizzle reel.

 

[NormalFish]

So is your time machine under NDA?

 

[jeremy1456]

E3 has not been kind to the Vita in the past. Even in it's 'prime' Sony almost completely ignored the Vita at E3 save for right after it was released.

E3 is not, nor has it ever been, the place to look for Vita announcements.

 

[FZZ]

Look forward to the Switch's E3 showcase breh

Dude, there's no way Sony has a Switch answer this quickly, much less a library for it, or anything ready for E3.

Also you're assuming Sony wants to make an answer for the Switch.

 

[sinonobu]

But yeah I think Nintendo E3 Direct is what Vita fans should look forward to.

Switch is pretty much Vita successor

 

[chrominance]

I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't mentioned at all.

I'd agree except that if they mention DanganRonpa V3 on stage, they'll have to mention either that a) it was a Vita franchise or that b) a Vita version exists. So basically, I'm just hedging my bets.

 

[baxter2231]

Enjoy your ports.

Spoiler

I own a Vita.

You could say the same thing in a swith thread and it would fit.

 

[The Horror the horror]

Should have pocketed that memory card money and put it toward a Switch or a memory card for Switch

Edit:




Ok, now I get it. This thread is a joke post. Got it. Took me a while

Not really.

I mean, I know support for the thing is winding down, and I purchased the memory card mainly for PS1 classics, but that's not all I got it for.

 

[CharminUltra]

What does Vita mean anyway.

 

[qko]

Probably some decent indie games like Stardew Valley, Rime, Yooka Laylee...

Oh wait, that's the Switch.

 

[baxter2231]

E3 is gonna be alot of this game is coming out for Ps4 and vita then thunderous applause.

 

[Geno Breaker]

You could say the same thing in a swith thread and it would fit.

But dude the vita is dead hahahaha /s

 

[OrbitalBeard]

You could say the same thing in a swith thread and it would fit.

Well yeah, if the phrase "in addition to a robust lineup of new first-party software" followed it.

 

[Spirited]

Not really.

I mean, I know support for the thing is winding down, and I purchased the memory card mainly for PS1 classics, but that's not all I got it for.

It got declared a legacy device like 2 years ago and you expect 1-2 first party games? lol

Sorry OP you're not realistic.

 

[baxter2231]

But dude the vita is dead hahahaha /s

Vita means life !

 

[McMoneyman]

Maybe a second in a sizzle reel, that has Danganronpa V3 in it.

 

[gogogow]

I'm expecting Sony to answer to the Switch, possibly announce 1 or 2 first-party ports to advertise their presence in the handheld market and demonstrate the PS4-Vita Wifi connection (read quite a few successful accounts of Persona 5 owners using it flawlessly)

lololololol......Vita is dead to Sony for a very long time. Vita won't get any love. Even in some bizzaro world where Sony had "some" plans for the Vita on stage, they probably quickly said, fuck it, scrap the 2 minute sizzle reel of indie games and add those 2 min. to the 30 minutes Destiny 2 demonstration.

 

[HeatBoost]

Video game hardware prices have gotten so weird. A Switch is 100 bucks more than a Vita but way beefier, yet way less beefy than a PS4, which costs like 50 bucks less!

anyway vita's dead

 

[Luigiv]

Stealth brag thread about how you could afford a 64GB mem card. Look man, you don't need to rub it in the face of us 99%ers.

Anyway, to answer your question: J.JonahJamesonLaugh.gif

 

[E_Darkness]

Maybe a second in a sizzle reel, that has Danganronpa V3 in it.

Oh that might appear, but I dunno why it would appear for the Vita, that's a PS4 game.

I still have a 4GB... It physically pains me everytime I turn the console on.

 

[TLZ]

I can't wait for that guy to pull the vita out of his pocket. I don't even care if it's just a mobile game port. It's tradition for the show at this point.

Pull the vita 2 out and take everyone by surprise!

 

[mrjohill]

Lol cmon son.

 

[Currygan]

I'm expecting Sony to answer to the Switch, possibly announce 1 or 2 first-party ports to advertise their presence in the handheld market and demonstrate the PS4-Vita Wifi connection (read quite a few successful accounts of Persona 5 owners using it flawlessly)

Sony's only answer to the Switch would be "Yes" if the question was "would you like to port some of your Vita games in the Switch"

 

[Not Spaceghost]

I'd be down for some ports.

 

[The Horror the horror]

I DIDN'T SAY *NEW* 1ST PARTY GAMES.

I know Sony isn't supporting this device with new games. But what's unrealistic with a port announcement, especially since new games are still being announced for it by third parties.

But whatever, mod please lock this thread because it's already gone sideways.

 

[sjay1994]

Top Kek Op

Spoiler

I am sad the vita is dead.

 

[Maxey]

You could say the same thing in a swith thread and it would fit.

Yeah but who knows what's in store for the Switch in the future.

Meanwhile the Vita has been out for years and we all know what's going on...

 

[rockyt]

As a vita owner I do not expect anything. Hell I was at gamestop over the weekend near me. I could not find anything vita related. It was like it never existed.

 

[BlackLagoon]

Launch aside, E3 has never been particularly notable for the Vita. If you want an event, there's pretty much always more Vita announcements coming out of game publisher panels at Anime Expo.

 

[faint.]

No "Vita is dead" drive-by posts please, just discussion and friendly speculation for E3.

lmao are you for real

 

[halfbeast]

does nobody read the OP?

Genuine question. When did the most recent first party Vita title get published, port or otherwise?

 

[JaseMath]

Fetish RPGs. Same as always.

 

[BumRush]

Maybe some semi-large budget Visual Novels like Steins;Gate?

(Not at the song conference)

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

Here, I've grabbed a list:

In actual seriousness I think we're getting some Otome games? I vaguely remember them being announced but I have no idea what they are or even if they've come out yet.

What are some new VNs supposedly coming out, by the way?

Atlus is putting out Utawaresomething and I'm pretty excited for it. Never heard of it before but it's a solid SRPG VN hybrid.

 

[night814]

They'll have a trailer or two for Vita games, on their website, way below their PS4 trailers.

If they even say the word Vita at their conference it will be a quick throw away line "also on Vita" "'member remote play"

 

[CEJames]

Dude, there's no way Sony has a Switch answer this quickly, much less a library for it, or anything ready for E3.

Also you're assuming Sony wants to make an answer for the Switch.

Doesn't Sony love displaying things at E3 years before it's ready? If they DO have an answer they're willing to bet on, they'll at least give a little teaser for something that might be coming in 2019.

What does Vita mean anyway.

Life!!!!

Spoiler

....support. Never gets old.

 

[McMoneyman]

Oh that might appear, but I dunno why it would appear for the Vita, that's a PS4 game.

Well it's coming to Vita as well, so there's that at least and I would imagine a lot of people will actually play it on Vita compared to PS4. Considering that 1 and 2 became cult games on Vita.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

The Sony that has sold 60 million PS4s isn't going to go chasing the Switch.

 

[Zareka]

Vita 2!

Spoiler

A few indies and some Danganronpa 3 footage.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Honest question, why would you expect Sony, who declared this a legacy console years ago, spend money to port things to the Vita?

 

[Strike]

Nothing since like 2013. PSX been the best bet for the last few years.

 

[Celine]

Joke thread?
