AbyssalChronicles.com: "You've all probably seen the report on Tales of Innocence R's ending hinting at even more Tales remakes coming soon. A few unexpected CGs from the game's hidden dungeon hints that the next upcoming remake, or rather, 're-imagination', will be that of Tales of Hearts."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Many would argue – and I wouldn’t really disagree – that the PlayStation Vita never really had a killer app. There wasn’t that one piece of software that helped change the console’s fortunes. The closest we got was arguably Persona 4 Golden, an early release that received huge critical acclaim, but it was part of a niche series and as such its sales impact from a hardware perspective was muted.
There were missed opportunities along the way, as certain titles had the potential to change the Vita’s fortunes, but the way the final product was delivered (if indeed it was delivered at all) left a lot to be desired and so they didn’t reach their full potential. It’s these games I’m aiming to look at this in this article – 10 games that were missed opportunities on Vita. I’m not saying that every release I’ll be talking out here had the potential to be a “killer app”, but if they had been executed a little better they would have undoubtedly been a key factor in helping the console reach a wider audience."
My soul still aches over the idea of making 3D Dot Game Heroes a Vita series never happening after the dev studio expressed interest in doing so. Could've been a flagship for it, or at least carried it a bit further.
The vita contributed to the ps3 having less support from Japanese devs. I hope sony keep focusing on one console at time like they are now in the future
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "At times I find myself thinking Vita has been far better supported than it should’ve been based on sales – there are some localized games I still can’t believe we got in the west at all. The latter part of the Vita’s lifespan has been given a strong pulse thanks to incredible efforts by a number of different publishers to bring titles across, yet there are still a number of games which have slipped through the cracks for various reasons. And in many cases it’s a real shame, because most of these games look absolutely stunning.
In this article, I’ll be looking at a number of these titles – examining what they are, why I think they should’ve come west, and various suggestions for why they didn’t. "
These all look like great titles, except Koei Tecmo Otome. Dont know if thats my cup of tea. If most of these titles made it even with english subtitles, i would support them.
Total worldwide shipments for the Tales of series have topped 16 million, Bandai Namco announced.
The Tales of series began in 1995 with the launch of Tales of Phantasia. There have been 17 main entries and the next, Tales of Berseria, is slated to launch for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 in Japan next year. If you missed it, watch the latest trailer here. There have also been a number of spin-offs.
16 million sales for 17 games, that's not a lot.
... But if Namco are happy, then keep it up.
More than half of those titles are Japanese excusives, so those are good numbers, considering the budget of JRPGs and all.
Gratz Bamco. If only more people would give "Tales of" series a chance instead of listening to websites that downplay those wonderful games.
I cant wait for Tales of Berseria
If real, and if for PSV, I wonder if they will go with either high red sprites (HD) or just change to 3D polygons for character models.
hope for the former myself!
that never came to westside as far as i know so hopefully true
