Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Vita a virtual no show at Sony conference
- Thread starter Spineker
- Start date
Oh jeez.
Not to generalize, bit that's been going on for a few years now.
"Wait until E3, they'll show games there."
"Wait until Gamescon, they'll show all the games they've been saving here there"
"Wait until TGS, there's when all the Japanese developers will be showing all their games!"
Rinse and repeat. Throw in a few Sony PR guys hyping up lackluster announcements and you're be good to go.

Wait until PSP3/Vita2, there's lots of games there.
Or read the topic about upcomimg games here on the forum. No AAA stuff of course but combined with remote play just pure awesome.
Vita games don't make big showcases for press conferences.
It's lacking in first party titles; doesn't mean they're dead. Not in the slightest.
Especially when there's a lot of third party and indie support. I've said it before, but there's more Vita games I've picked up and played this year than any other platform, and there's still more to come in the rest of this year.

Zombies are the cool thing now, so having it's still good even after dead.
Vita means Zombies.

Vita's obviously not dead but it's just as obviously not a focus of marketing or development. There will always be great niche, indie, cross-buy, and emulation titles to occupy our time with the very occasional exclusive like Gravity Rush 2 (even Tearaway isn't exclusive anymore, and good for them if more people can play it).
Vita's story has already been told by now. Sony is throwing all their 1st party/exclusive muscle at the console war and cutting losses for the handheld to salvage what they can, which is fine by me. On a related note, Wii U will continue to get amazing 1st party titles supplemented by occasional eShop and Virtual Console gems, which is also fine by me. I know what these systems are and I love them for those strengths.

"Vita's Dead". Vita's dead because of this (insert reason). Vita's dead because of that (insert reason).

Hmm... just found that there was a Gamescom 2014 trailer for the Vita version of Minecraft.
Something, right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YW6ERne8CJI
Also this, tweeted today/yesterday:
The Vita version also comes with a copy for PS3, I'm assuming digitally.

Well, considering how the PS4 is selling in Japan compared to Vita, it's not unreasonable to think that TGS might be handheld focused.

I am sad for the Vita. It's a great system that I play a lot, but it's obvious things are not going well...Honestly, I am happy Tearaway is ported to ps4 since it really deserves a larger audience. Same for Gravity Rush : at this point I wouldn't mind the franchise to jump on ps4 since it's pretty sad to see such a gem confined to a unsuccesful system.

Just found another Gamescom 2014 video, this one with Vita games current and future.
This even shows 5 packaged bundles for the 2000 Vita model: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV1V5kG8llI
It looks like each bundle comes with around 6 games. These aren't here in the states, coming soon to EU I'm assuming.

They'll announce at least Ryuga gotoku 6. Not an exclusive title, but still.

Ooo, cross buy? Impressive. Yeah, cross buy has, to my knowledge, never included physical for both platforms. It's either digital only for both, or, rather rarely, the physical version for one has a code to download the other. Minecraft would be an awful game to have not digital though, people would never want to remove the cart. That's why I wish I got Animal Crossing New Leaf digital
I mean, if Nintendo were sane about digital

Whatever interest I had in ever owning a Vita is pretty much gone now.

They practically don't mention the thing at all anymore and it hasn't been properly stocked for months even after a supposedly flagship bundle came out... the writing's on the wall.

No new ports were announced at the conference?
Absolutely nothing new?

For me it depends on the type of game. Indie type games that have retro graphics etc. I'll play on the Vita as I feel like I'm wasting my gaming time playing that stuff on PS3/4 on the big screen when I always have AAA games to play.
So I get some portable value for sure. Less since I bit the bullet and got an HD box for the second TV so I don't have to bicker with the fiance about who uses the main one when.

The only thing noteworthy is tearaway brought over to the ps4

Would a 1 minute Vita sizzle reel have been that difficult? Seriously.
I mean, out of 60 seconds, you'd have about 16 for intro/outro (crapload of logos, various blurbs, "available soon" etc.). That leaves about 44 seconds. Let's say you portion these into 4-second bits per game. Meaning 11 games.
Out of the 200+ games coming to the Vita, some are Japan-only so far, with localisation unknown. Some, like Criminal Girls, Bullet Girls or Monster Monpiece, are unpresentable. Some have been released on too many platforms to be worth mentioning. But out of those remaining, surely you could've pieced together 11 for a modest preview.
Would it have really strained advertising funds to throw at least a hint to Vita's uncoming releases? Honestly, how much could that sizzle reel have cost to make? $3000?
Sigh....
