Sony: There are lots of unannounced Vita games

Sony Computer Entertainment’s worldwide studios president Shuhei Yoshida says there are many more Vita games in the pipeline.

[SmilyTheSyko]

im glad

[Beetey]

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

[pixelsword]

Yeah, I was about to say

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

[jujubee88]

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

[mynameisEvil]

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

[Blaze929]

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.

[pr0digyZA]

"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.

[dogoodmatters]

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.

[MultiConsoleGamer]

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.

[andibandit]

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.

[KingOptimusOrigin111]

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.

[Om3ga370]

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

[pandatomsk]

ABSOLUTELY!

[Chrono]

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

[jetpacksheep]

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)

[Sanquine90]

Medievil^^
God of war

[profgerbik]

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.

[360ICE]

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

[Muffins1223]

they already announced bioshock for it...

[BABYLEG]

You mean you want them to port ps3 games?

[bothebo]

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.

[colonel179]

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.

[kukouri]

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.

[smashcrashbash]

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?

[Amplitude]

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_3]

@ 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.

[Sanquine90]

New medievil game^^

[profgerbik]

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-Gamble]

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.

[colonel179]

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-Gamble]

What u just said doesnt even make sense.

[Cam977]

Just come off MGS2 on Vita - excellent device in my opinion!

[MacDonagh]

I'll be interested in what they'll announce. They definitely need some system sellers.

[profgerbik]

The system itself sold for me. I guess I just appreciate technology that is made very well.

I mean the Vita is sexy, like a black Ferrari. I really hope those colored ones hit the U.S. eventually.

[Y_5150]

Something related to inFamous would make me buy a Vita without hesitation. :)

[MGRogue2017]

Hope we can see Crysis for the Vita in the near future :P

& of course, Grand Theft Auto.. which I already know is coming.. :)

[psp2roundup]

Never mind what games? When will they announce them is the more pragmatic question. I guess after the big winter games are all out on the shelves (as long as its not another Japan-only Gaming Heaven type event)

[belac09]

a true english translation of the original romancing SaGa 3 is all i want.. and type 0.

[r21]

Then announce them please! :D

[abzdine]

what are they waiting for to announce them ?
tell me Ready at Dawn is making a God of War or Jak & Daxter.

[Zac_Apron]

Duh! Then announce it!

[Zac_Apron]

Do we have any news on titles such as ace combat,
MGS and others? God Eater 2 better look good on vita than on
Psp or else...

[GreenRanger]

I want announcements, not promises.

[Tommykrem]

I really could kill for a new Prinny.
A new Final Fantasy or Gravity Rush 2 would also be nice
And of course keep up with the new IPs :)

Oh, and Patapon

[josephayal]

I Can't wai't for the Pipeline

[remanutd55]

how about announcing them sony? i think it would be a good idea to announce some of them ASAP. heck it would be great if they announce some of them at the VGA show.

[MariaHelFutura]

They should just announce them on the Internet...... NOW!!

[remanutd55]

yea i think you are right, they should announce some of them on the blog.

[DivineAssault]

Come on boys, u really think that one of the richest companies in the world that released a handheld that isnt even a yr old yet wont have more games??? Not only is there 9+ yrs left of vita support but look at systems like saturn & dreamcast.. They had a bucket load of titles & only lived a short while... (in the west)

[MasterCornholio]

I was listening to a pod cast on playstation blog and one of the employees of sony ( i think she was a third party relations manager for playstation mobile) claimed that by December Playstation Mobile Store will contain over 100 games (boom cheap pick up and play games like Super Crate box for example).

Now what i don't know is if this was what Yoshida was talking about or will there be a lot more unannounced Vita games.

[Tzuno]

And that solves all :))

[deno]

That is great news. My ps vita is a jewel, can't go anywhere without that monster.

[faysal]

by this months and next months 11 retail games are coming out for vita(big games).. yet people are saying it has no games WTF

[shivvy24]

i JUST WANT JAK AND DAXTER !
