The only good thing that was shown on that stream, and it was a few seconds of footage for character models on the game lol...

Yeah, a price drop was great to see, but no new games? What the heck? I was expecting at least one game announcement on that...

Sony better make up for this by blowing us away on the 20th.

DOMination-4075d ago

It was worth noting that every other title they showed had a release date. Even if it was just as vague as 2013. But this one didn't, so my assumption is, that we won't be seeing it until at least next year.

blitz06234075d ago

"An official announcement will be coming soon"
aka wait another 18 months for more details.

nrvalleytime4075d ago

Al-bhed we get more information soon. Square Enix wouldn't leave us Besaid ourselves for too much longer.

BinaryMind4074d ago

The fact that Square Enix can't even make a simple HD upgrade in due time tells me that this company no longer remembers how to make games.

izumo_lee4075d ago

You gotta remember this was geared towards the Japanese market & what they showed are games that have a lot of interest in Japan.

For the Vita to begin to climb out of the hole it is in, it first has to succeed in Japan. To get the Japanese developers on board. Once that happens we are bound to see more games & new games as well.

The price cut & the 'monster style' games are a good start. Now we will see if people are interested in the Vita with this price cut.

Nimblest-Assassin4075d ago

Yeah, but we knew about everything shown... something new is what everyone wanted

izumo_lee4075d ago

Yes we knew that these games already but like DOMination said above the majority of these games have release dates. So for the Japanese it will not be a long wait for them to play these game.

The sooner these games are released the better chance we may get them in the west. It was also to show that 2 of the most wanted games FFX HD & Dragon's Crown are both alive & well. That they are still being made & will be released eventually.

This was a Vita Game Heaven event that was probably was to be shown last year but games weren't ready just yet. So i believe something like this will be shown again later in the year.

The Vita is a different monster than the 3DS, & developing for it takes longer cause of its 'console like' capabilities. So as long as developers take the time to create good looking games on the system than personally i can wait to see what they come up with.

princejb1344074d ago

it doesn't only have to succeed first in japan
it could succeed everyone else but the major problem is they dont localise games
same thing happened to the psp where 90% of the good games were never localized and the 10% that were good games were from western developers such as GOW

2 games i would like in the vita right now is tales of hearts r and danball senki w

the big problem is their only in the asian market and are probably never going to be released in the west

LeonhartX4075d ago (Edited 4075d ago )

Clearly this stream was for Japan so there were many games, i am sure that with vita's price drop and most of these games coming out feb/mar the vita will finally get the boost it wanted in Japan, as for us in NA/PAL i am sure they will blow us away on the 20th

GribbleGrunger4075d ago

Even if it was only Japan, I think it would have been wise to also include Tearaway and Killone. They need a market for those games over there too.

Muffins12234075d ago

they showed allot of monster-hunter like games also...

Outside_ofthe_Box4074d ago

Holy shiz so it's true that this is on the Vita. Can't wait to play FFX on the go!

showtimefolks4074d ago

Excited for it but what I like is how every other game shown had a release date.

I think 2013 will be a huge year for VIta. Once games start rolling in vita Will get a lot more support from other publishers once they see it can succeed

Now any shuld hold a conference to show all the games due for ps3 in 2013 that way by Wednesday it's all PS4

Dark_Eternal4074d ago

"Sony better make up for this by blowing us on the 20th."

FTFY

DragonKnight4074d ago

How many people are Sony expected to blow? I mean, lip chapping would be a serious problem there.

CAN WE GET ANOTHER FF8 GAME OR FINAL FANTASY TYPE 0?

sithsylar4075d ago (Edited 4075d ago )

I have thought about it and decided NO DICE! /jokes Isnt it funny and sad at the same time how we are looking at the past for good final fantasy games :(.

Qrphe4075d ago

I was at least hoping for the Type-0 Vita port but maybe it was just a rumor after all (much less localization at this point).

Good thing the fan ranslations of Type-0, Valkyria Chronicles 3 and Digimon Re:Digitize are being worked on.

sithsylar4075d ago

I know hey it hit me right in the feels.... Brings me back when final fantasy was so good.

Hellsvacancy4075d ago

It was the first thing that went through my mind, the second thing was *is this even in HD?" it doesnt look it

It's so disappointing that to this day, I have not seen a game match what BLACK offers in an FPS.

ApocalypseShadow190d ago

Shame isn't it. I thought we'd be at a point of destructible backgrounds, objects, pyrotechnics etc in shooters. I sold many a copy in the demo unit when I managed a franchise Game Crazy back then. But I stopped playing shooters because they didn't evolve. Heavy weapon. Shoot a wall or glass. Nothing happens. Lol. Except for Killzone 2. I enjoyed that.

But then I woke and remembered it's EA. EA didn't care really. They just wanted to kill competition from Criterion and Burnout. And own Renderware to profit from as many developers used that engine. Only thing was that developers ran as fast as they could away from EA to Unreal Engine and its pop in and Vaseline graphics. Shame on EA. And then they bought Dice for Frostbite. Evil busters.

Anyway, too many PS2 games to count. Some of my personal faves being DMC, Genji, Bujingai, Blood Will Tell, Onimusha, Way of the Samurai, Japanese Berserk, Japanese Macross game that blew away the US Robotech game, RAD, Castlevania Lament of Innocence.... there's just too many. Let me stop. Lol

Cacabunga190d ago

Code Veronica
Dead or Alive 2 Hardcore
The Getaway
Time Crisis 3
Killzone
Mark of Kri
SSX

are some of my all times favorites missing on that list

shinoff2183189d ago

I've always Saud I'm not a fan of fps much , there's been some I really like and thought were really dope. Black falls into that category.

CoNn3rB190d ago

I would love nothing more than a remaster of the Jak series, including Jak X

Flawlessmic189d ago (Edited 189d ago )

The greatest console of all time !!!!

The last console from when gaming was pure, games didn't take 5 years to release, no online only, no half finished games, no mtx.

Ps2 was just banger after banger after banger.

It will always be my favourite.

sagapo189d ago

No Timesplitters in the list??

FinalFantasyFanatic189d ago

This is a really good list, pretty happy with the choices here.

FFX and FFX-2 Do Not Need a Sequel

As a complete duology, Final Fantasy X and X-2 just do not need a sequel. These games provided us with satisfying conclusions to the characters' journeys and meaningfully wrapped up their arcs. And after the terrible way -Will- presented its narrative, feeling more like an attempt to capitalize on the previous game's success than a well-crafted and meaningful sequel, that's all the more reason to just let FFX be what it already is. Any further attempts to force a sequel will only diminish the legacy and impact of Final Fantasy X and X-2.

If they do another one, I'd really like to see more of a focus on the connection to FF VII. Since it was confirmed that they take place in the same world. Let's just keep the pop star element out of it for the next one... I really enjoyed X-2 as a game, but man that decision for Yuna and Rikku's character direction wasn't the right choice.

shinoff2183318d ago

The connection to 7 would be dope af. I can even begin to think how'd they do it. I mean storywise and stuff I know about the Shinra stuff and everything. I'd be down with a 10 3

-Foxtrot318d ago (Edited 318d ago )

Nope

https://www.finaland.com/?r...

It wasn't supposed to be taken seriously

"This story is a bit of a joke. When we created FFX-2, we wanted to create something, a totally new world. Except that when I created it, I realized that it looked a lot like FFVII ... But without realizing it. Afterwards, when it was officially said in Ultimania, it took a completely gigantic proportion when it was just an anecdote"

Thank God anyway

It's better when each FF is a different Universe

Snookies12318d ago (Edited 318d ago )

Except, it is canonically connected in the VII Remake. There's a Shinra character in X-2, who is actually shown in a picture on the wall in the Shinra HQ in Remake. Meaning at the very least, X and VII share the same world in the Remake version.

CrimsonWing69318d ago

@Snookies12

I thought they said that was just a joke:

―It’s a sequel to VII?!!
Kitase: “No, that was halfway a joke. However, in FFVII’s ending, Holy was supposed to settle things, then it’s suddenly ‘500 years later,’ and there’s been nothing like a sequel for it. There’s room to fill in that gap. There’s room for imagination. Since Nojima-san and Toriyama-san have worked together since then, talk that it could be possible with those staff members built up for a moment.”

―So, how did talk of it as a sequel to VII come up?
Nojima: “I felt that VII and X had a relatively connected feeling, that VII has an essence there.”

―Ehh, so VII and X are connected?
Nojima: “No, there isn’t much to it. For example, what happens when people die is fundamentally the same in my mind. I wrote both stories following the same idea. At times, other thoughts pop up, though. Pyreflies are green here and there, and other colors besides.”

https://thelifestream.net/c...

I think they were just having fun and making a gag out of it.

Name Last Name318d ago

@Snookies12 those are just easter eggs

-Foxtrot318d ago

@Snookies12

Easter eggs man nothing more

Like I said it's better for them to have their own Universe then being connected

I mean think about it...FFVII and FFX are completely different outside of those small little things, the worlds are like Night and Day

Flawlessmic319d ago

Nope but I sure would love a remake of ffx, my fav ff game along with 9.

JokerBoy129318d ago

Oh man, never thought I'd see someone with the same favorites as me lol. We're supposedly getting a remake of 9 at some point. I'm hoping we get something new from the FFX universe.

shinoff2183318d ago

I cannot wait for the remake of 9. It's got me pumped and it's not even official. Ff9 is damn near perfect imo

Abnor_Mal318d ago (Edited 318d ago )

I just saw a video about a rumor that Sony may have secured the rights for FF9 exclusivity for some possible remake.

Skip ahead to the 2:30 mark

Okay didn’t see others already said it

gold_drake319d ago

technically, they already do. in form of a novel and audio thing.

but .. i dunno. ive always wanted a prequel with the three guys.

not sure what else there is to tell about Spira.

shinoff2183318d ago

Sorry for the spoiler if true

Is it true if you complete x2 100 percent tides comes back in some way. I never 100 percented it.

Name Last Name318d ago

Yes, the Fayth ask Yuna if she wants to see him and they dream him up again.

shinoff2183318d ago

Thanks. That pretty much what I read.
