Vita? I don’t need no stinkin’ Vita! It’s still PSP for me | PS3 Attitude

PS3 Attitude: "As much as I’d like one, unfortunately there’s no way I can justify, let alone afford, getting a PS Vita right now. Instead of looking upon owners of Sony’s latest handheld console with envy (well, to be fair I’ve been doing that too – obviously), I decided I would simply dust off my old PSP."

Well I' ve finished most of the games he mentioned, psp had its time, now its psvita and all its features/ capabilities time to shine, waiting anxiously for the new resistance burning skies online patch, playing through gravity rush chapter 6,having tons of fun with escape plan asylum levels and lastly very, I mean very impressed with lbp vita beta.

I just wish evolution studios release a freaking brutal motorstorm game on the vita

TheFirstClassic4325d ago

I just recently got silent hill origins, crisis core, dungeon siege, and I downloaded ffvii all on my psp. I won't need any other games for a while, origins is a lot better than I thought it would be, the game was criticized for not evolving the silent hill formula but the only other sh I have played was the first.

The only psp game I haven't played but I want is monster hunter freedom unite.

GribbleGrunger4325d ago

At some point in the future you may well get a Vita and the great thing about it is that you will be able to play those PSP purchases on it, with crisper graphics and better controls. you are on the first step of a transition, and that is EXACTLY why Sony carry on promoting the PSP. I believe that eventually, when the games start pouring in for the Vita (for your personal tastes because there are plenty I love) then you will probably sell your PSP and buy a Vita... and you will never regret it.

HarryMasonHerpderp4325d ago

Origins is a decent game and Crisis Core is awesome, some good buys you got there! =)

miyamoto4325d ago

Awesome games!

I am playing Black Rock Shooter on my PSP 3000 and its awesome too,

Buy sometimes my fingers want to multi touch the front and back of my PSP.

I wonder why...

SamPao4325d ago

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is awesome!! even more awesome if you got some friends that also start with you! damn I put more than 140h into that game, and still going strong!
I play it on the Vita btw! looks great!

TheFirstClassic4325d ago

@Ultr I actually have 3 friends who I could play with, so I'm definitely going to get it. But I really want to get it on vita like you said, mostly because of the second analog stick.

Motorstorm is an excellent franchise

remanutd554325d ago

Motorstorm is my favorite new franchise from sony this entire generation , while others love Uncharted, Little Big Planet, inFAMOUS , i love Motorstorm and Resistance but Motorstorm a little bit more lol, LUNATICS UNITE!!!

HarryMasonHerpderp4325d ago (Edited 4325d ago )

Motorstorm is really underrated, It was one of the first PS3 games I got back in 2006 and I don't regret a second of it.
Also Pacific Rift is amazing! haven't played apocalypse yet though I heard it's not as good as Rift? Anyway I really hope they release a proper Motorstorm game for the Vita.

Max Power4325d ago

That's a nice double negative. So, it looks like you do need a Vita.

Hicken4325d ago (Edited 4325d ago )

If only double negatives worked that way...

Edit: On topic, this mentality is part of the reason why Vita sales are as slow as they are. Too many people don't want to upgrade.

Hell, I was torn: I could have gotten another PSP and had some money left over. But then I wouldn't have Gravity Rush right now.

I LOVE Gravity Rush.

Anyway, people act like the Vita's price or the price of the memory cards is SO prohibitive, but even if you bought the 3G with the largest memory card, you'd still be coming out a good $200 cheaper than that iPhone or iPad you'd have no qualms buying. And $200 is five retail games, give or take.

capcock4325d ago

Vita is a good system it just needs more games. Sony's e3 was a freaking joke also since I expected them to show a bunch of stuff for the vita to make me buy one but they didn't.

stage884325d ago

Gamescom looks more promising

remanutd554325d ago

sony E3 PRESS conference didnt show a lot vita related but there were 25 psvita games at E3 so yea the games were there.

bothebo4325d ago

Here you go. This should change your opinion:

http://us.playstation.com/p... Features&page=1

They only had just over 3 pages prior to E3.

stefhutch204325d ago

Brilliant idea! I'll just magic up that £200 to buy one, shall I? :)

GribbleGrunger4325d ago

did you use magic to conjure up the PC you are using too?!

joeorc4325d ago (Edited 4325d ago )

wait a Min what did Sony not Show?

if you want to keep the idea of well they did not show anything at the conference...well be my guest. because that is not just E3. @ e3 SONY DID SHOW OFF PSVita GAMES on the show "floor" you know where it really counts! where people can play the Games and interact with the software and see upcoming games!

you may ask how not showing on E3 conference is helping you, i guess it's not or would not have helped you anyway by the sound of it.

"Vita is a good system it just needs more games."

the PSVita currently has over 40 games already released that are PSVita games,+ over 300 back catalog PSP games "
which i doubt anyone person has played every single one of those , or has completed every single one of those games. Than Add in PSP Mini's and than add in the AR games Sony has released for the PSVita.

and right now you are telling me there is not enough game's on the PSVita?

Im really starting to doubt many gamer's that Have that Idea about there is not enough Software on the PSVita.

it's more About the Price than anything, if you really deep down really want to search yourself that is the truth. be that it's memory cards are too high, well thank the Hacker's for that, they made the high cost for blank media for the system so their hacking attempts can be slowed because no Quick card reader's can be used this time!

they made the high cost blank memory all possible this time because they just could not stop messing with a closed system they knew which was closed in the first place, and yet released their Step by Step how too guides across the internet's all in the name of Homebrew knowing full well
It could lead to piracy. and with ISO dump's of UMD's being so easy to do..many could go to any P2P, or data hosting site and grab the software for free.

Many say well piracy never is a real problem for Nintendo or Microsoft why does it effect Sony so much.

Sony is not Microsoft or Nintendo!

Here is the thing, was the claim that Sony's software just does not sell well on their platforms..right so if it does not sell well and the software is not that great why Pirate it?

do people think not paying any money to the developer for any part of his software is not worth it, even if you do not like his game?

but i bought the PSP for this price and i expect better software..keep telling your self that.

when your software get's downloaded for free several times the number it was sold than venture capitalist WHO INVESTED IN YOUR PROJECTS IN THE FIRST PLACE SEE the number's and say my ROI is not where it needs to be and shuts down on a 2nd or 3rd game. that means 1st party is what you have left.

you cannot have it both way's people want more software , but do not really want to pay for it and in many cases any part of that software because they do not think the game is worth the money.

it is to the developer and the publisher, when hacker's make it easy to dump your publisher's and developer's software online and your sales are not that great anyway. many 3rd party's tend to shy away from your platform.

I would kill to have a Way of the Samurai game with a huge budget and modern tech... The first game was one of my greatest joys on PS2 back in the day. And I really hope From Software will do something with Tenchu... I hate that they're just sitting on the IP like it doesn't even exist.

Relientk776d ago

Don't play with my feelings like that.

Also, new Tenchu please!

TheColbertinator6d ago

Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

ravens529d ago

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens529d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK21219d ago (Edited 9d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

MrNinosan9d ago

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens528d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens528d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani8d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum9d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman9d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim9d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

I disagree Batman
