GamesTM: "Long-time fans need not rush out to buy an Xbox 360, then, but that’s not to say that EDF is a bad game, in its own right, far from it. As a 3D take on the old-school run-and-gun genre, the mixture of giant enemy hordes and fully destructible environments is often both exhilarating and deeply satisfying, albeit in a very tongue-in-cheek way. Those who prefer their game titles to be preceded by the words ‘Tom Clancy’s need not apply, but anymore with a scholarship from the Ed Wood School of Game Design will find a lot to love."
Because blowing up UFO's never gets old.
Satisfying visual feedback, so many games have lost this principle and it's sad. Almost everything you do has an interesting and Satisfying reaction, making everything physics based is the key to that, watching everything fly, crumble, and react to your weapons, and slowly increasing you weapons capabilities to do so to an absurd degree, just keeps ramping up the satisfaction of how good it feels to play this game.
Games are great, they may not be the greatest visually, but man do they really push the hardware they’re on cpu wise
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Thanks to the timing of the Vita’s release and its relative power compared to the home consoles at the time (PS3 & Xbox 360), it saw the benefit of a number of these late ports which have remained the ‘definitive’ versions to this day. It’s these games that I’m aiming to look at in this article – titles that are best on Vita by virtue of extra bells and whistles, tweaked controls, and content, or in some cases just a general feeling that Sony’s portable hardware is the most enjoyable way to play."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Thanks to some solid late-in-life Japanese support, and a sea of backwards-compatible games, the Vita’s library of third-person shooters is a lot better than it first appears, covering a variety of sub-genres from horror to stealth to tactical, all the while providing games that are a tonne of fun to play."
Missed so many games.
Also backwards compatibility differs from region to region.
Literally some stores like the NZ/Aus store will allow syphon Filter 1 and 3 but not 2 and the USA store is different again
I haven't done it in a while so unsure if it has changed, but you used to be able to download any PS1 or PSP game to a PS3 and then transfer it to the Vita and it just worked - regardless of whether it showed as something you could buy in store for, or download directly to, the Vita. It opened up a huge library of back-compat titles that way.
Why do they keep talking about the 360 version when they say they are reviewing the portable version? Also the review says it has no co-op online even though it does on Vita. What are they talking about? Its hard for me to even believe they even played the game.
It sounds like they didn't play the game. They just want to trash it because it's not a 360 exclusive anymore, it sounds like.
In fact, they improved many bugs/glitches that the original release had. The loading times are much better, as well. You also get more guns and full online/offline co-op/competitive support. Not sure how they missed that in the review... O_o
Fantastic game.
Arrgh. I really want a Vita now.
