Ditto, but I'll be happier when they're no longer "unannounced."

pixelsword4234d ago

Yeah, I was about to say

"How about announcing some so people will be encouraged to buy the vita"?

jujubee884234d ago

I'll be the happiest when I can play and enjoy them.

mynameisEvil4233d ago

I'd like to point out that this is an announcement of an announcement that there are unannnounced games that have yet to be announced. :P

Blaze9294233d ago

I mean...there could be one million unannounced Vita games. Doesn't help anyone or encourage a potential buyer to buy a Vita though.

I don't really understand what this statement is supposed to do.

pr0digyZA4233d ago

"I don't really understand what this statement is supposed to do."

I think its more for people who already have the vita as this shows there is still support and games to look forward too. Also he was probably asked a question like "are there any more vita games coming out" and this was his answer he didn't just randomly say it.

dogoodmatters4234d ago

How is this at 30 degrees with one approval?! I know it's had a bit of a rough start, but I hope things straighten out quickly for it.

MultiConsoleGamer4234d ago (Edited 4234d ago )

A new system is like a snowball rolling down hill...

It just takes some time to build up momentum.

Glad to see the future is looking bright.

andibandit4233d ago

A beautiful analogy, but fortunately not always the case. Some companies try to create an avalanche from the get go, with marketing and so forth.

Just for once it would be interesting to see Sony taking a diffrent approach, but im sure the Vita will be fine 2-3 years down the road.

KingOptimusOrigin1114234d ago (Edited 4234d ago )

I want them to announce these games:

Third Party:
Resident Evil
Monster Hunter
Final Fantasy Type-0
Metal Gear Solid
Grand Theft Auto
Bioshock
Dissidia 3
Star Wars Battlefront
Dead Space
Tom Clancy
Level 5 Game
Namco Bandai Game
Atlus Game

First Party:
Jak & Daxter
Ratchet & Clank
Ape Escape
Tomba Reboot
Socom
inFAMOUS
Gran Turismo
Motorstorm (Console Quality)
Syphon Filter
Twisted Metal

But I know half of this won't happen but you never know.

Om3ga3704234d ago

I couldn't agree more. Those are some sweet sounding titles. :D

pandatomsk4234d ago (Edited 4234d ago )

ABSOLUTELY!

Chrono4234d ago

God of War???? There must be one.

jetpacksheep4234d ago

The good news is a lot of those titles are highly likely to appear and a few have already been announced but no media has been released on them (Bioshock, Monster Hunter)

profgerbik4234d ago

Actually I see almost everything on that list a possibility other than a few dreamer games like MH.

Capcom is being stupid with that, so god knows when it will ever come to the Vita like it should be again.

I also don't see Socom coming back because I thought their development team was shut down or something.. Not sure the rest though I bet will happen.

Sucks so bad MH4 is only on 3DS.. I own both but I would much rather play it on the Vita, no questions asked.

360ICE4233d ago

In three years time, AT LEAST half of them will have happened. I'd be pretty much 100% sure about some of these releases.

Muffins12234233d ago

they already announced bioshock for it...

BABYLEG4233d ago

You mean you want them to port ps3 games?

bothebo4233d ago

I'd go crazy for a Jak and Daxter game as well as a Star Wars Battlefront game. I think Star Wars Battlefront could move tons of hardware.

Meant as a reply to KingOptimus:

That's the problem right there with the Vita! All those are in consoles! Yes, they are amazing franchises and games but what Vita needs is ORIGINAL, UNIQUE games for it. Example: Gravity Rush

I just can't understand why people want the same games that are available on PS3/360. Even if they are different games like Assassin's Creed 3. It's nice to have one ore two, but not all of them.

That's why I hate the Cross Buy promotion, because even though is a very sweet deal, resources are spent into making a port of the same PS3 game, instead into creating new, interesting and unique games ONLY for Vita.

kukouri4234d ago

In fairness, those resources wouldn't have been spent there regardless. They aren't not making those unique games because they are making these games. They aren't making them because they don't want to risk it or don't have ideas.

smashcrashbash4234d ago

Okay do you work for Sony? If you don't then how do you know what resources are being used for what. How do you know that resources for making ports for cross buy takes away from making original titles for the VITA? And also their are several games that are coming out for the VITA that are VITA only so I can't see why we can't have both. People still can't seem to understand that the whole point is that a VITA is portable. That is the good part. I can play the same game that I have on my system outside and away from my house.I can play it on the big screen and when I leave I can take it with me.What is so hard to understand?

Amplitude4234d ago

In all honesty... new IPs are incredibly important, but man, im loving these PS3-on-the-go games.

LittleBigPlanet was the best in the series by far. Cross play and cross buy with PSAll Stars and Sly Cooper and Retro City Rampage is just awesome too.

Gravity Rush was great, but if the Vita just keeps doing cross-buy stuff i'll still be happy.

Let's be honest here... There's a lack of Vita games that are actually worth the 40 dollar price tag. Spy Hunter should be 10 dollars. There's no reason for it to be 40. But when a good PS3 game is ported the vita at least you know it has had AAA support put into it.

Cupid_Viper_34234d ago

@ colone179

I would never say no to exclusive PS Vita games, but the song that your singing is getting kind of old in my opinion. Here are a few reasons why.

Nobody in the industry has track records that Sony does for coming up with new IPs, second of all, the PS Vita has plenty of exclusive games, and you can bet your life savings that it'll have more to come.

Secondly, the PS Vita is its own platform. I don't see anyone complaining when a multiplat game comes on the PS3,360,Wii, but the minute it touches the PS Vita a double standard kicks in and people refer to it as a port, as opposed to a multiplatform game. And to say that you hate crossbuy? It's like saying that you would hate the Idea of getting COD black ops 2 for free on the 360 for buying the PC version. I find that hard to believe.

profgerbik4234d ago (Edited 4234d ago )

I seriously don't think Playstation has had a lack of unoriginal games.

All the games I have played that were worth remembering were on Playstation. Maybe just me? I don't know.

I love Gravity Rush and couldn't agree more that I would love to see more games like that.

At the same time though I know the Vita will have more games like that eventually. I also know that is what makes the Vita so special, is that it can actually play console games also.

Nothing wrong with best of both worlds. I mean the PSP had tons of original games, maybe most of them never released in the U.S. but they were still there.. and it couldn't do half of what the Vita does and it still was fairly successful even with it being heavily pirated.

I honestly think the Vita is going to do much better and again all it takes is the time to wait for developers to truly understand the system, then you start seeing tons of games for it.. like with any console really.

Sithlord-Gamble4233d ago

And i cant understand why some people think they speak for the majority of Vita owners when they b*tch about ps3 console ports to the Vita.

Maybe some people WANT console ports in addition to new IPs.
Why cant the Vita have both? It doesnt have to be one or the other.

I bought my Vita for a handheld CONSOLE experience, so shouldnt i be able to enjoy CONSOLE games on my handheld when im on the go or dont have the time to play on my console?

I welcome it with open arms. The more games on my Vita the better.

colonel1794233d ago

but wouldn't CONSOLE experience be better if it was a game that could also be on consoles (meaning tech, graphics, etc) instead of the same exact games as in consoles?

Sithlord-Gamble4233d ago

What u just said doesnt even make sense.

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.

Cacabunga3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

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

ApocalypseShadow4d 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.

Zachmo1823d 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.

ApocalypseShadow1d 19h ago

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

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

Hereandthere2d 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 20h 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.

OtterX3d ago

"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.

Cockney1d 14h 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.

RNTody3d ago (Edited 3d 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?

Inverno3d 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.

Inverno3d 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.

fsfsxii2d 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.

Inverno2d 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?
