VGChartz;s Adam Cartwright: "For a console that can only really be seen as a commercial failure, the PlayStation Vita did extremely well for itself in terms of software – more than 1500 games are available for it and that figure is surprisingly still growing each week, despite the hardware being discontinued earlier this year and despite the rhetoric suggesting it’s only a good machine for indie 2D platformers and niche Japanese RPGs.
Unfortunately certain genres didn't receive any representation at all and act as glaring holes in the Vita’s software library. Some of these just aren’t particularly popular on consoles in general, such as city builders, which have been niche for years. It’s these genres I’m aiming to look at in this article – what they are (including examples of some modern entries in the genres), why they weren't represented on the Vita, as well as some suggestions about what alternatives are available to scratch that itch."
For those who doubted the Shakedown: Hawaii team’s decision to release on the PlayStation Vita, which includes a physical edition, now may be the time to reconsider.
With the release of Shakedown: Hawaii coming tomorrow, Vblank Entertainment frontman Brian Provinciano took time out of his busy schedule to answer a few questions from OnlySP.
Sweet, Brian has been on this project with his own company he made so long ago. Good to see this, seems this game will do very well, as deserved! Good job Brian! :)
Brian is one awesome dude, for sure! He's got a ton of surprises built into Retro City Rampage. I hope more gamers appreciate it.
