IGN’s Mitch Dyer saw Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified’s multiplayer at Gamescom and called it “disappointing.” Having finally had a chance to try it for myself, it makes me sad to say that those initial impressions mirror my own. It isn’t even bad or unlikable in its current, pre-release state, but a number of technical limitations make it feel far from the Call of Duty console-like experience on a handheld.
PP: Was Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified really that bad on the PS Vita?
In comparison to its console counterparts at the time? Yes. Yes it was. In comparison to DS versions? It was god like
I got tons of fun out of it.
Killzone was better, yeah. Heck even Resistance online was better. But CoD Resistance and Modern Combat and such were all fun to change it up a bit when you've grinded too many hours into Killzone.
If i had to review them, yeah, all those games would get a low af score except Killzone. But i had fun plowing through the Resistance campaign and playing online and goofing off with CoD online while travelling. Not everything has to be a masterpiece but they were all fun enough for what they were lol
How is a system so loved within its community considered a commercial failure, and how did the Nintendo Switch take its idea and run with it?
Highly overpriced proprietary memory, and Sony showing it little support, themselves?
Pretty much Sony ditched it to focus on PS4. Can’t say I blame them, but it is disappointing. If Nintendo can manage to put out games for handhelds and main consoles-I would assume Sony could too.
I personally skipped the vita because memory was just so damn expensive - then eventually, Sony gave up on supporting it.
it got nowhere near the love that the PSP got, which is an absolute shame cause it paired pretty well with the PS4.
The only thing Sony cared about was protecting its image against piracy. They were willing to destroy it for the sake of saving face to its investors after the PSP. Same approach they took with not allowing external storage on the ps5.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Many would argue – and I wouldn’t really disagree – that the PlayStation Vita never really had a killer app. There wasn’t that one piece of software that helped change the console’s fortunes. The closest we got was arguably Persona 4 Golden, an early release that received huge critical acclaim, but it was part of a niche series and as such its sales impact from a hardware perspective was muted.
There were missed opportunities along the way, as certain titles had the potential to change the Vita’s fortunes, but the way the final product was delivered (if indeed it was delivered at all) left a lot to be desired and so they didn’t reach their full potential. It’s these games I’m aiming to look at this in this article – 10 games that were missed opportunities on Vita. I’m not saying that every release I’ll be talking out here had the potential to be a “killer app”, but if they had been executed a little better they would have undoubtedly been a key factor in helping the console reach a wider audience."
My soul still aches over the idea of making 3D Dot Game Heroes a Vita series never happening after the dev studio expressed interest in doing so. Could've been a flagship for it, or at least carried it a bit further.
The vita contributed to the ps3 having less support from Japanese devs. I hope sony keep focusing on one console at time like they are now in the future
I can't wait to buy this game in ps vita. I'm not a big cod fan for consoles but ill buy it on vita. It's generic on consoles but a vert welcomed edition in the vita
Sprint in this game should be a double tap of the back touchpad. Grenades should be like in resistance also where you tap the front screen and drag. Melee should be a tap of the enemy up close
Well it could bee good but not a perfect game i think this will be 7/10
The trailer looked absolutely terrible. The game looks like an extremely watered down version of the first Black Ops. Seeing as CoD as a whole is a watered down piece of crap, that's just sad right there. After the bust that was Resistance: BS (ha), it looks like we're going to have to wait for Killzone Mercenary to finally see a decent FPS on the Vita. This is also a pretty much surefire sign that Sony needs to stop letting Nihlistic develope games on PS platforms, because they obviously can't do it for shit.
They should just scrap this and port over Black Ops 2.
I wish they would just stop already. Damn shortsighted people keep paying for it.
