This morning the new lighter, slimmer and LCD screen equipped PCH-2000 went on sale in Japan, but it seems that it’s not exactly selling like hotcakes just yet.
On the other hand, Grand Theft Auto V seems to be doing great despite being a western game.
Grand Theft Auto V was released on PC on the 14th of April 2015. That means the game will be nine years old in four days, and it’s still among the most-played titles on Steam. With a 24-hour peak of 145K players, it’s as popular as Baldur’s Gate 3, Apex: Legends, and Destiny 2.
The freedom to explore large areas, approach objectives in multiple ways, and stumble across amusing distractions will always be an excellent format for video games, but some do it better than others. To celebrate the formula and parse the best from the best, have a look at the best open-world games of all time so far.
Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 5 are both classics, but movement and general interaction sometimes feels like you're possessed by a fridge.
Rockstar need to learn that 12 years of work and 5000 employees doesn’t account for one persons opinion on the internet…
Oh and hundreds of millions of dollars in revanue to boot.
Lots of complaints about gta ever since the hd era started and yet it's bugger than its ever been with gta vi up to 180 million trailer views alone. The next game is shaping it be be another genre defining game
The controls of RDR2 felt a but cluncky indeed, but it’s not as bad as some make it out to be. At no point did I get the feeling my experience with the game was held back or ruined by the controls.
But it can never hurt to optimize them a bit, sure.
I did accidentally beat someone to death a couple times. An unfortunate mistake but besides that I didn't have any problems with the controlls
Red Dead Redemption felt clunky at first but I got used to it fairly quick. I thought 2 was easier to control but it could be my experience with the first game helped me out. Great games
I wouldn't call Rockstar games characters clunky instead they feel like they move with Weight they are not twitch controls press x to instantly snap onto cover the characters instead move like a actor would ducking behind cover they are exposed while they get there.
hmmm, I don't want to be that guy that says I told you so, but I seem to remember a bunch of people saying that the reason for the poor Vita sales last week were because everyone was waiting for the Vita 2000 to release..
As indicated by the picture in the article - clearly nobody was waiting..
On a side note, it's great to see a game like GTA V doing well in a market like Japan. I didn't know they would even care for a game like that.
thats luke warm news for vita! better than not selling or dissappointing sales. i wonder how psv tv will sell.
Only a Poltergeist could make PS Vitas fly off the shelves. Sales are fine, sure the Vita sales have been split up into unit colour for heavens sake!
At this stage it seems sony has done everything it can to get the vita up and running but nothing has worked. I don't see sony ever releasing another handheld in the future.
the vita is only a failure if you only read articles about it you actually have to own one to know the devices full potential and how its a console in your hand. Also the graphics look just the same as xbox 360 with the nice OLED screen.
