IGN - So, you've seen the Call of Duty: Black Ops II review over on that fancy Xbox 360. Now, you want to know how the PlayStation Vita title Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified turned out. Sadly, we don’t know. We don’t have copies of the game. An Activision representative said we should have COD Vita tomorrow, but even if that doesn't happen, we’ll walk over to the store and pick up.
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
"An Activision representative said we should have COD Vita tomorrow, but even if that doesn't happen, we’ll walk over to the store and pick up."
Yeah, that'll teach 'em a lesson. Way to dish out the tough justice.
But yeah, really, publishers have go to get their act together on this Vita thing. With digital codes not even requiring the postage and handling time that physical copies used to, there's no excuse for this =/
Man that's such a bad sign... They're completely ashamed of this game, I can tell. There would be no other reason for NOT sending out review copies early. If they were confident in their work, they would be proud to show it off before the game releases. Here we go with another crappy Resistance Burning Skies lol. Nihilistic was/is a joke at this point...
Though I REALLY hope they prove me wrong with this. I want to be wrong about it, but I feel the horrid reviews coming...
Where are all the other IGN posts for the MANY other games they haven't reviewed?
Making a big deal to generate hits, before they can lament it.
The game is easily going to be critically panned, because it doesn't matter whether it is fun or not, it's what they have decided.
I am really enjoying Resistance: Burning Skies, & this should be better than that, as same developers taking over someone elses franchise, within the same genre, within the same platform, really should mean that this will be even better than the 1st attempt, which as already stated, I already enjoyed.
I know it will recieve lacklustre reviews, but I am sure I will enjoy the game & it will be better than ANY other portable fps.
I'm certain, also, that a few of the reviews will swing well below the games deseved scores, which I'm not sure the motivation for some reviewers to score certain games pathetically low or average, & other games that suffer many similar negatives recieve a near perfect score......it is a load of crap, & if Declassified is only as good as Burning Skies, I will like it & buy it, simple as that.
bought it...... and i love it. played for 2 hours feit like 10 min ! ps i can hear foot steps fromwhich direction :)they are coming. Died alot
