IGN:If you’ve longed for a proper first-person shooter on Vita, one that makes excellent use of its unique capabilities and second analog stick, you’ll be sorely disappointed with Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified. Declassified’s clumsy controls exasperate the frustration that comes from playing poorly designed single and multiplayer levels, while the horrible AI and lack of polish makes it feel like it was rushed out the door. No, this is not the Call of Duty you’ve been waiting for; it’s one you definitely need to avoid.
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
Is the game really this bad?people who own/played the game share your thoughts.
This game is sick, best FPS on handheld. Online is crazy good. Single player is ok but hard and short. Buy it for online u won't regret it. All these reviewers are retarded period. Best game on vita if u like FPS or CoD. It plays exactly like CoD. Reviewers hate it because he vita promises console like quality and so far it hasn't totally given that. Some exceptions but really it's CoD and it should be better and have more content. It's overpriced. One issue I have had is hit detention ok walls with grenades and if u have NAT3 (strict) Internet connection online doesn't even let u in lobby. It works at my place but not my in laws because of the strict Internet. Problem is most people have a NAT 3 Internet and this is first CoD to not support 3. Dumb patch should fix it hopefully
If it was an Xbox handheld exclusive it would be 9+.
I own both Resistance:Burning Skies and this game CODD, and CODD is better in every way possible. Online play has pretty smooth frame rate and the controls feel good to me. Why game sites have given RBS higher scores than CODD is a mystery. Is it worth $50,maybe not to most,but I have enjoyed it a lot. To me it shows that the Vita can handle FPS and with the right developers(guerrilla)it would truly shine. Bottom line in my opinion,CODD is fun and looks,plays so much better than RBS.
So ign complained biut the missions being short and no checkpoints (unit 13 had this and everyone was fine with that. Touch controls were awkward ( ever play metal gear solid 3 Hd and equipe the knife as a weapon. Ya that's more frustrating and that game didn't get hurt for that) I ait I accidentally use touchscreen sometimes but it works fine enough. Also the aim acceleration can't be changed? Umm change the aim sensitivity idiot. Maps are too small this i agree with but team deathmatch works fine. Deathmatch spawns are worse obviously. The controls are fine it's the smaller analogs they don't like. They said resistance's only good part was its controls and these were literally a much improved version. So little contradiction there. Basically he played it for an hour and didn't get used to the smaller analogs and that's the games fault ( not his or the system, ever use guns in MGS? There way harder to aim because of the smaller analogs. What I'm saying is these reviewers and looking for console quality and barely played the game to review it properly. Biased
