Vita is my remote play machine.

And a damn fine remote machine it is.

Still kind of a shame to hear though.

 

[Phediuk]

Shock of the century.

 

[CHC]

Thought this was a bump of an old thread for a second.

I guess it's news that he publicly said it straight out, but Vita owners have known this for a long time.

 

[Sealtest]

Scares me to think some companies wont even bother with localizing anymore...

Please namdai just bring digimon cyber sleuth over and we'll love you again... Or port it to PS4.

 

[GreatLord Tiger]

Fine with me as long as stuff like Digimon Cyber Sleuth can get localized.

Yep. Sony, bandai, anyone just localize this game already

 

[redmetal86]

Clearly they're making games for the Vita 2's launch instead.

So give us a price drop and another memory card slashing.

I wouldn't mind this.

 

[ScriptedReality]

Well gimme more ps2 games Sony.

 

[CielTynave]

The only games I got from Sony for the Vita were Gravity Rush, SSD, and Freedom wars. I have close to 20 others and another 20 or so announced for the system that I want. If I get even half of them then I'll have bought more games for my Vita than any other system. Pretty sure I'll be fine without Sony doing anything.

Sure I'll miss it when there's no Vita successor but I'm betting the devs making games for it will jump to Nintendo's next handheld.

 

[Dr. Buni]

That was already known, I think. Anyways, a shame, Vita could have been such a great system. I love the hardware and some of the early games it got.

NIS/Atlus/Xseed are doing the heavy lifting anyway.

Exactly why the Vita lost all of its appeal to me.

 

[Jomjom]

Sony loses E3.

Seriously though, this makes me sad.

 

[dragonyeuw]

That was honest.

You guys think they will make another handheld after Vita?

Not a chance in hell, I'm afraid.....

 

[Jawmuncher]

So give us a price drop and another memory card slashing.

Seriously if this is a legacy console and what now they need to cut those memory cards in half. I can't imagine the future of this machine dealing with out of print vita cards.

 

[isitstill]

Well gimme more ps2 games Sony.

That would be great. But my Vita is one of my favorite systems ever, there are tons of great games.

Besides, a portable Spelunky machine would be more than enough.

 

[BigDug13]

Vita is a great indie machine for me. Games like Terraria and rogue legacy really shine on there.

I'm ok with that.

 

[E_Darkness]

It's getting World of Final Fantasy.

Also it's fine if Sony don't make AAA, I just want the Japanese games to be localised. Please give us Cyber Sleuth!

 

[Ricky_R]

Where's the "SHOCKING NEWS".

 

[BlackBuzzard]

That was honest.

You guys think they will make another handheld after Vita?

Not a chance the market for dedicated handhelds is shrinking so fast. A game friendly phone i could see that happen.

 

[Lonely1]

Has Revelations 2 been shown?

 

[pixelation]

Not a chance in hell, I'm afraid.....

I thought the same after the PSP did not perform that hotly in the US, but i guess that whatever success it had (specially in Japan) warranted a successor.

 

[FlyingSaucer]

Just wait that Gravity Rush 2 gets released on Vita, you bunch of defeatists.

 

[Arzehn]

All I want Sony to do for the Vita at this point is encourage and assist 3rd parties in localizations for the system .

It's not too much to ask and there should be some degree of responsibility here.

 

[Wolf Akela]

Old news for my remote play station handheld.

But please revive your old PSP IPs like Patapon. It doesn't require AAA budget.

 

[Oersted]

So Gravity Rush 2 PS4 exclusive?

Seriously what happened to this game?

 

[tmarques]

I was going to make a thread too but with this link

http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/06...ig-vita-games?abthid=5580af08caabf6806e00001e

I laughed at the "I won't be buying their next handheld" comment.

 

[Elios83]

Who says we're even getting Gravity Rush 2 at this point?

The dev team that has aleady confirmed they're working on it and strongly hinted it's now a PS4 game?

Btw yeah it's gonna be announced at TGS for PS4.

 

[dragonyeuw]

Seriously if this is a legacy console and what now they need to cut those memory cards in half. I can't imagine the future of this machine dealing with out of print vita cards.

That occurred to me the other day, can you imagine the markup on 32 and 64gb cards when they stop producing them?

 

[Nealand Liquor]

Only AAA? lol

No shit. Sony's "support" has left me jaded.

 

[Yasumi]

We've known this for like at least a year. Vita's all about Japanese third party games and indies.

 

[Isotope]

Is Gravity Rush 2 still a thing though?

Edit: OK, so long as it sees the light of day as a PS4 release, then I'll be OK.

 

[sajj316]

Remote play machine primarily with the occasional indie + killzone

Edit: Gravity Rush 2 .. bank on PS4

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Shrug.
NIS/Atlus/Xseed are doing the heavy lifting anyway.
Who cares about AAA Vita game, I want my mid-tier JRPG brotatoes.

This.

Doesn't really affect me.

 

[E_Darkness]

I laughed at the "I won't be buying their next handheld" comment.

Vita 2. Vita 2 means double life.

 

[RadarScope1]

Sun rising in east, setting in west.

Vita is a great indie machine for me. Games like Terraria and rogue legacy really shine on there.

I'm ok with that.

Totally. And still getting modern classic indies like Super Meat Boy. It's a 2D monster in an era where 2D games are having a revival.

 

[ArtHands]

Isn't this a year old

Yah but the vita fans are still pestering them for games because they refuses to take no for an answer.

 

[JordanN]

I wonder what happens to all the managers or crew members in charge of the Vita department of Sony?

Do they just sit inside all day relaxing? Do they just walk around the building waving hello to people?

"Hey man, shouldn't you be working?"
"Don't have to. I work for the Vita department so every day is free".
"Wow. Here I am just scrubbing floors for a living."

 

[D1renegade]

So much wasted potential.

Now I'm stuck with ugly 8bit indie games.

 

[Y2Kev]

Does this mean you will all listen to me about Gravity rush 2 now?

 

[RevolverRoden]

H2O equals 2 Hydrogen atoms + 1 Oxygen atom.

Fixed.

 

[Nokagi]

Shrug.

What's a brotato and how do I get one?

 

[Josh5890]

Seriously what does Sony have to lose at this point with the memmory cards. My 8 GB barely holds three games. MLB is a must for me and that takes up almost half my card. Slash the prices Sony

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Does this mean you will all listen to me about Gravity rush 2 now?

It begins just say it, GR2 is dead.

 

[Barakov]

That's fine. Triple AAA games from Sony isn't the reason why I bought a vita.

 

[dragonyeuw]

I thought the same after the PSP did not perform that hotly in the US, but i guess that whatever success it had (specially in Japan) warranted a successor.

Yeah, but whats the WW totals( or even Japan's) for Vita? Psp by itself sold 80 millions consoles, I'm not even sure if the 3ds and Vita combined break that mark. Maybe they release something for Japan, but I cant see Sony releasing a successor in the west....

 

[rokkerkory]

I wonder with the focus on VR now that handheld will no longer exist as a platform for PS

 

[LordDash]

This E3 proved Vita and Wii U are deader than dead.

At least Nintendo had the decency to acknowledge the Wii U and show us some type of first party games coming to the platform. Sony on the other hand didn't even show us a minute of screen time dedicated to the Vita.

But hey, what can we do?

 

[Rezae]

One of my favorite handhelds ever. Never been much of a fan of AAA games, but I still can't believe how fast they gave up on this system. It was never pushed. The memory card prices have always been ridiculous and they are still ridiculous. Slash the prices already, how many are they really selling? Wouldn't want people to buy too many digital titles huh? Makes sense....

 

[Sevyne]

While it hurts a bit to know this, it isn't the reason I bought a Vita in the first place. I got a Vita for the same reason I bought a PSP; The fantastic library of niche jrpgs and smaller titles. Companies like NISA, Atlus, and especially XSEED made the PSP one of my favorite portables and continue to do god's work with the Vita. The indies on Vita also help it.

Big 1st party games on it would have been great, but I'm not really sweating it. In fact, I don't think any sane person expected Sony to do much with it on a 1st party level.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

We've known this for a while, no problem on my side, I have a Vita and recently got a Vita TV and I have no interest in AAA games on the Vita.

 

[Kriken]

Seriously what happened to this game?

Will go through a The Last Guardian development cycle, pls be excited for TGS 2019
