Rumor: Sony at PAX EAST Recruiting Vita Titles

Dual Pixels - I've spent a lot of time at PAX talking to different indie devs and sitting in panels determined to complete a couple of my own missions. One of the main missions had to do with looking for any potential titles to be ported to the Playstation Vita; an amazing handheld console that is often passed over because of its "lack" of various blockbuster titles to play.

Doesnt surprise me the least, Sony has really taken to indie games in the last year or 2. They also have been asking indie devs for months, to meet up with them at GDC.

TongkatAli4047d ago

Sony is an underdog why not support the biggest underdogs. It makes perfect sense to me and remember indies have said Sony treats with them with mad respect.

JoGam4047d ago

SMH...Just so you know, Indie Companies is what going to keep gaming going in to the future. Sony knows this. There are great new and upcoming developers out there who just can't get a job with a big game company so Indies gives them a chance to get their feet wet and the ability to better their resume. Some of the best developers started Indie. Respect them.

smashcrashbash4047d ago

It takes a real jerk to always turn everything even positive things into something negative.Only someone like you would turn respect for indie developers into a Sony insult.

Rockefellow4047d ago

I'm not seeing any "Sony insult" here, smashcrashbash.

4lc4pon34047d ago

sony is an underdog? IMO the PS3 was far better then the 360 and the PS4 will be far better then the 720.

Xbox does not deserve the respect they got.

Rockefellow4047d ago

I guess people don't understand that Sony is an underdog, yes. They sold far less than the Wii, and the 360 has beaten them soundly in North America.

I'm sure I'll get a thousand disagrees yet again, even though I'm a devout Sony fan. Thus is the life of the blind fanboy on N4G

How come RTS games haven't made it to the Vita? The combination of touch & physical controls would be great & they'd suit play on the go.

Company of Heros 2 Vita. I'd cream my pants!

Jaambi4047d ago

Totally agree, RTS on the Vita would be great. I'd also be interested to see some ARPG's like Torchlight on the VIta. Who knows maybe there will be a Vita version of Diablo 3 when Blizz releases it for the PS3/4.

blusoops4047d ago

I really need a valkyria chronicles on vita too. (Even if its not an rts title)

TongkatAli4047d ago (Edited 4047d ago )

I didnt mean what I said as a insult, chill. I have bought almost every indie PSN title on the store except Germanitor. I support them alot : D

Hotline Miami is going to sick!

Thomas Was Alone

Machinurum, don't know if that was the correct spelling

Frozen Synapse

What insult ?

NewMonday4047d ago

IMOO XBL/PSN games are the perfect caliber for a handheld.

I feel underwhelmed when playing games like Limbo or Shank on my 65'TV, but they would feel natural on the the Vita, on the other hand I feel a bit overwhelmed with Uncharted and AC on the Vita, I needed to sit down and focus on them at home. the best experience for me was Rayman Origins because it matched the quick stop/start sessions and on the go gameplay of a handheld.

Hingle_Mcringleberry4047d ago

Yes! Thank you! This guy gets it. Some games are just too big for handheld gaming and games like Limbo and Braid would be perfect for Vita. I really don't want to play Red Dead Redemption on the small screen but games like Rayman Origins are exactly what gaming on the go is about.

hongthay4047d ago

You should try Motorstorm RC as well. It is good for the vita for the exact same reason.

Sound shapes is nice, too. But Death Mode kills me.

DivineAssault 4047d ago

Theres a lot of vita titles im looking forward to this year.. I love that little machine & the more software it receives the better

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

ravens5214d ago

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5213d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212113d ago (Edited 13d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

MrNinosan13d ago

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5213d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5213d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani13d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum14d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman14d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim13d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

I disagree Batman
