Shack News: "If anything ties Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified together, it's inconsistency. The entire package reeks of a lack of care and oversight and feels like a slapdash cash-in on the franchise's name. Everything from controls to campaign design and multiplayer lacks the coherent vision and level of quality Infinity Ward and Treyarch have cemented on their PC and console releases over the past decade."
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
Game is good no perfect but is alright I'm enjoying its simple multiplayer kind of like when cod 4 came out i just hate that only 5take maps but they can fix it whit ait's good dlc
I hope people in the comments quit trying to defend this game.... it's terrible..
This game had so much potential, but lets face it, they phoned it in and ruined it... let's not kid ourselves...
Don't get me wrong, I was really rooting for Nihilistic, but they let me down... especially when Activision has the nerve to charge $50 for this game, which imho is not even as good as Burning Skies (which sells for $20 or less nowadays)...
Well, here's hoping we get a good FPS in Killzone Mercenaries...
This is getting ridiculous. Nihilistic barley had anytime to develop this game. If anything appreciate what they've done in 6months against what Treyarch or Infinity ward does every 2 years.
black ops 2 on psn is £41.99 so how does this go for £44.99? Judging on resistance bs price It a will not be dropping price anytime soon either.
The game has many bugs.. the spawn killing has got to go. Too many players per map perhaps or larger maps. The booting me out to the main menu every time i start playing is an issue, especially when I want to get a game in in a hurry. However I've found that once i get into a game I can continue to play for a while before getting booted again. I thought it was my internet connection at first but it happens to everyone on multiplayer. Controls are a little sensitive but can be adjusted in the options screen. The flash grenades suck, you will flash yourself 98 percent of the time. The trick is to only use them around corners where they are completely out of sight.
Nihilistic can fix all of these issues however, Resistance Liberation is theirs also and they didn't do squat to fix the garbage multiplayer on that (the sound and game play was horrific). The game is playable and i enjoy it. I will continue to fight with the loading problem, and keep pwning. I'll keep posting as I play with more info as I get it. Anyone who wants to add me "sweatyboomer003" (psn & xbox).
