Hindman of PSLS says: "The problem isn’t that it fails to replicate a console experience—that’s not the expectation of a portable—the problem is that it fails to even provide a good portable experience. The hallway-style shooting gallery provides entertainment that dwindles after a day or two. It’s fun in the same way a phone game is fun, and that’s quite frankly not enough to be on this system for this price."
And goes on to say:
"This is getting a 1 because it is a crime against gaming. It is a subtle message from Activision that it, as a company, believes that you, the game-buying public, are a bunch of extremely stupid people. This game has the first pieces necessary to become a good, well-made experience, but it was obviously rushed to the market to make that sweet, sweet Christmas money."
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
lol, i would have thought a website as "playstationlifestyle& ;amp ;quo t; would have an objectionable opinion on this game. i would love to know which 2 or few fps they think is better than this on a handheld gaming device.
i have this game and i love it. ive recommended it to a a few people who all bought it and love it and we're puzzled by the reviews. its not as good as the console versions but its good. vita devs are damned if they make a game with full on console options where areas are large and might take a bit to play a level and theyre also damned if they make pick-up and play games with bite size experiences.
to each his own, ill respect all opinions just like id like mine to be respected. it just seems like when some reviewers put ideas in peoples mind, other reviewers and gamers might begin to see things that arent there or theyll exaggerate little things. on the other hand i can say that im ignoring faults and giving out excuses but i have these games and my views are backed by majority of the user reviews and people ive recommended it to. i think the best shooters on vita in order of quality are uncharted GA, resistance , cod declassified, then unit 13
The developers must be embarrassed at this point. I can't imagine developing a game and having everyone hate it.
I'll stick to off TV Play on WiiU BO2 as i never leave the house with a handheld anyway but getting a 3DS which ever version is out when MH4 hits and ive seen Smash Bros 3DS.
wow
Nihilistic needs to be shut down. I'm sorry if they got this terrible project and had to rush it, but this is beyond excuse.
