Ps one games are coming? Wasn't this as well as Skype the most asked for? Nice. Now all Sony has to do is bring me a youtube app and I'll be cool.

jwk944400d ago

i think they confirmed that a youtube app would be coming soon.

PLASTICA-MAN4400d ago

Oh please where? Any source?

SilverBullet1294400d ago

I believe before the Vita was released it was one of the apps listed as coming soon (on the main vita site by Sony) but now they no longer have it in the list:(

MaxXAttaxX4400d ago

Skype = check!
PSone games = almost check!
YouTube app/HTML5 video = need!

Prince_Dim-Lu4400d ago (Edited 4400d ago )

Why are you people excited for PS1 games? You have a brand new powerful handheld, and the excitement is for PS1 games?!?!?!?

Why?

I just don't get this.

LMAO, and then some guy a few post below writes that he wishes his Vita had PS2 games. I just don't get this. PS fans this generation are wanting and seemingly wanting old games to play instead of new ones.

Ahhhhh.. that's why... @below here with the "shut up". I forgot, N4G is mostly 14 year olds. That explains it. They weren't around for PS1 and PS2 games.

Guess what little Aggregate.... you were supposed to play PS2 games on your PS3. :(

NeoBasch4400d ago

New Vita games would be nice, but wouldn't you want legacy titles as well? I like to keep some of my favorites on the PSP just to have them in one spot on the go. I love how whenever I feel in the mood for some retro gaming, I'll just pick up my PSP go into the games tab and play some of those legacy titles.

Its convenient. It also gives me motivation to play some of my backlog (games I haven't finished) as I don't need to wait to sit in front of a TV, which would just weirdly contort or frame the image anyways (makes it much easier to see all the jaggies), to play them.

Some of those older games are extremely close to our hearts, and being able to replay them at a second's notice is kind of heartwarming in a cheesy way.

TENTONGUN4400d ago

i still want to play my ff7 and blood omen ps1 classics. do you really have to find a reason to bitch about what others want? should all old games just vanish or somethin?

Ulf4399d ago (Edited 4399d ago )

Many gamers, these days, have not played many PS1 games, if any at all, and they are *still* worth it.

The PS1's era ended over a decade ago -- lots of adults in their 20s never even owned a PS1, or played a PS1 game. Many of them don't know what a SNES or Genesis is, and especially not a Turbo Grafx 16. Atari has been a giant bomb of a brand their entire lifetimes, etc. The gaming world has changed... several times over.

***"you were supposed to play PS2 games on your PS3."***

Mute point. People can play PS1 game on their ps3, but still want PS1 on the vita store. So it is safe to assume that even if you could still play PS2 games on the PS3 that people would still want the game on the vita store.

Way to show you true colors...

FragGen4398d ago (Edited 4398d ago )

Because Blood Omen Legacy of Kain is just as awesome today as the day it was released. (Along with a bunch of other titles)

i want megaman legends 2 please..

Studio-YaMi4400d ago

1&2 actually....
and I want them to announce a new megaman legends 3 for the PSVITA since they cancelled the 3DS one,or maybe release it on both PSVITA/3DS !

That would be great :D !

MissAubrey4400d ago

I hope this is gonna happe! NOT only that I hope the games look better than what they do on ps3 because they look like a mess.

Deathdeliverer4400d ago

Why would they look better than they do on PS3? ITS PS1 GAMES, not updated remakes.

MissAubrey4400d ago (Edited 4400d ago )

well if you ever played psone games on a playstation emulator youd know that playstation games have the ability to really REALLY nice. but on the ps3 you dont get that, instead you just get a blurry looking mess which is a shame.

@ FredEffinChopin
True, but even on a Emulator on a 27in monitor you can make a psone game look like a hidef dreamcast game.

ClimateKaren4400d ago

It's going to look far better just for being on a tiny screen.

Trenta274400d ago

What the Vita needs is cross play. I could care less about the apps and PS1 games.

edwineverready4400d ago

wipeout has crossplay already.more will come soon.

catfrog4400d ago

i hadnt noticed, this is the old, ps3 wipeout, right?

do i have to do anything special to get this on my vita?

HarvesterOSarow4399d ago

It's the new Wipeout 2048. It was my first retail purchase and I've played PS3 owners, and it works flawlessly.

Trenta274399d ago

Crossplay won't happen like we think it will. It would basically make the PS3 obsolete if it could do that.

himdeel4400d ago (Edited 4400d ago )

Remote play > cross play. If you could remote play Skyrim I know at least 50% of my PSN friends list would pick up a Vita on their lunch breaks that same day.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow3d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1822d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie2d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere1d 17h ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow1d 3h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney22h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno2d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno2d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

1d 21h ago
fsfsxii1d 22h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno1d 21h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
