Since Sony revealed that their (at the time) upcoming handheld would have a Call of Duty game grace its presence, many have been quite anxious. Now over a year later a slew of details have been revealed. Despite all the new details it’s still clear that the game will fail. Whether it be the graphics, controls, or mistakes repeated, it doesn’t take much to notice.
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
From what I've seen since the Gamescom reveal(Facebook, PS Blog, N4G etc.), current Vita owners aren't even interested in this game...and these are the people who already have faith in Vita. The fact that Sony/Activision are banking on this game selling Vita hardware to people who are still skeptical of Vita is scary.
I really wish treyarch would have picked up the vita and just ported BO2 to the vita straight on. Maybe done cross play or remote play or atleast transfarring.
But no, somebody dropped the ball on the vita, the gotdamn thing is not being utilized as the amazing piece of hardware it is. We have been on YouTube and seen the vita play bf3. We know it can be done.
i rather put my money on games where..you know....where companies put their care on their franchises, like you know....Assassin's Creed Liberation... not this shit....
This is no different than the COD games coming to portable titles like Black Ops 2 on the DS. Did that generate a lot of sales? Nope.
Just because there's a COD name plastered on the name, doesn't mean it will be bought by millions of people who purchased the console COD releases. (i think Sony thinks COD will push Vita sales...)
Things will only change if the people behind the main COD series will be the one developing this game. IF that happens, then yea, it will sell because people know what to expect.
Nihilistic? One is enough *PS Move Heroes*, Two is too much *Resistance: Burning Skies*, Three is a poison (COD Black Ops Declassified) that kills the system.
This games looks really painfully average. But that doesn't matter to me since I'm not a fan of the COD series anyway. Killzone for vita however looks really amazing.
