CVG- Activision has promised Black Ops Declassified will deliver a "true Call of Duty experience". Details on the elusive Vita-bound shooter have been few and far in between but the publisher has promised the clamouring masses more information next week.
Fortunately for us the absence of any concrete details means we're free to speculate and make unreasonable demands. Both the first-person shooter genre and the Call of Duty series have had a difficult time getting comfortable on handheld devices, but we think Black Ops Declassified could change that.
PP: Was Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified really that bad on the PS Vita?
In comparison to its console counterparts at the time? Yes. Yes it was. In comparison to DS versions? It was god like
I got tons of fun out of it.
Killzone was better, yeah. Heck even Resistance online was better. But CoD Resistance and Modern Combat and such were all fun to change it up a bit when you've grinded too many hours into Killzone.
If i had to review them, yeah, all those games would get a low af score except Killzone. But i had fun plowing through the Resistance campaign and playing online and goofing off with CoD online while travelling. Not everything has to be a masterpiece but they were all fun enough for what they were lol
How is a system so loved within its community considered a commercial failure, and how did the Nintendo Switch take its idea and run with it?
Highly overpriced proprietary memory, and Sony showing it little support, themselves?
Pretty much Sony ditched it to focus on PS4. Can’t say I blame them, but it is disappointing. If Nintendo can manage to put out games for handhelds and main consoles-I would assume Sony could too.
I personally skipped the vita because memory was just so damn expensive - then eventually, Sony gave up on supporting it.
it got nowhere near the love that the PSP got, which is an absolute shame cause it paired pretty well with the PS4.
The only thing Sony cared about was protecting its image against piracy. They were willing to destroy it for the sake of saving face to its investors after the PSP. Same approach they took with not allowing external storage on the ps5.
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
Almost 100% of things in CoD games is possible on the Wii. The only thing that this version is missing is Theater Mode, controlable air killstreaks and matches are 5 vs 5 instead of 6
Souldn't be worried about a Vita version at all.
Not much of a list in the article. Personally, I'd fear this could be a bunch of random levels or missions pretending to be a game. It needs some decent story glue to hold everything together and kick ass multiplayer, not just box-ticking, cookie cutter, features from the existing versions.
I wanna see anything.
Zombies definitely need to be in the game. That will make it a must buy for a lot of Vita owners and make some people buy the Vita for the first time. Good competitive multiplayer with good controls and Im all in. Spec Ops to be honest is just an add-on to me and most likely where I will meet a lot of my new friends because I do not own a PS3 just a vita and a xbox 360.
Hmm. I was just thinking maybe what they need to do to help with the graphics is use cell-shade for characters and environment, give it a Border Lands/Sly Cooper look on the vita.
I think the Vita will convey cell shade well and it will give COD a unique look and feel on the Vita.
As for mechanics... well it's a handheld and it's being developed by a relatively new developer so i'm not expecting much in that department.
