Call of Duty Black Ops Declassified is a major disappointment. For those of you who were hoping to get a real first person shooter on the Playstation Vita, keep waiting. Call of Duty Black Ops Declassified was the beacon of hope we had for real first person shooters on a dual analogue stick handheld and it failed horribly.
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
I guess, other than lack of content which is to be expected it looks and plays just like any other CoD on console in multi-player.
Again last time I checked that is all anyone played CoD for anyway and this has been ever since it was on PC.
I am not defending CoD by any means what it has become to me now is a shitty mindless fps, sure it can be fun with friends but it is mindless no doubt and has become far too easy.
What is weird is everyone thought it was going to be so much worse hell even I did but it actually is not nearly as bad as everyone was thinking it was going to turn out to be. I mean remember those first screen shots and how awful it looked? It improved a lot from then.
What I don't get is Declassified was clearly better than Resistance and it's getting worse review scores which is retarded in it's own right...
Like I said though it is CoD on the Vita, yea it may not be the best effort and I honestly have no clue what anyone expected from CoD especially these days anyway but like I said, it plays and feels exactly like CoD on console (minus Nihilistic's bugs), maybe not your newer CoD's either with all the fancy added crap but it still plays exactly like CoD has for years now and it's on the Vita so you seriously could not have expected it to be exactly like console versions anyway.
Yea it isn't worth the $50 but let's not all be ridiculous here no one is forcing you to pay that price right now and there are plenty of ways to get it cheaper or hell even free if you don't own a Vita yet with the new bundle.
I mean a Vita, free memory card and declassified free, for $200, not a bad deal at all. I mean I would rather have AC3: Liberations but still a decent deal none the less.
another copy-paste hate-"review"
don't feel like spending $50 on a bite-sized CoD on a handheld? DON'T
buying a Vita? It's FREE with the black model that costs $200 on black friday
activasion should have done what naughty dog did with uncharted.They look over the work that sony bend studios did with uncharted.Declassified is rubbish not BLACK OPS
