5 Ways for the Vita to Gain Momentum

The Vita isn't dead but it definitely has some troubles. Here are some ways it can hopefully bounce back.

MultiConsoleGamer4127d ago (Edited 4127d ago )

Raise public awareness. (Don't go viral.)

Constantly "bang the drum" of the game libary. The Vita has an impressive catalog of games, and it also supports a number PS1 titles and over 250 PSP games. Make a master list of all this software and then beat people over the head with it.

KangarooSam4127d ago

Inform people of all of the great games, and amazing (presumably) upcoming games. Hype Destination Playstation next month. Increase cross-play/buy support. More apps for people who use it for that. Support the Japanese market by paying whatever it costs for an ad-hoc HD Monster Hunter (Japanese commuters love that sh*t). ADVERTISE the non-gimmicky side of it. Just because Nintendo succeeded with the Wii doesn't mean gimmicks are the only thing that sells.

TongkatAli4127d ago

These articles are so shady. You know how the Vita can gain momentum ? if people weren't harping like crows on its flaws. Yes, It DOES have flaws, but it gets out weighed by the experiences of playing its GAMES and the smoothness of the interface.
Right when you open on it and see the OLED you know, #### the press it's hot!

Price cut to 150-200€

Drastic price cut on memory cards!!!

Release big AAA Vita exclusives like Killzone, Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear or God Of War.

Keep the good work with PS+.

Let piracy TO SOME EXTENT in the system. Every #1 console is pirated and that doesn't stop those systems from selling. Just the opposite, it helps boost sells. (I'm gonna have a lot of disagrees for this last point, I know...but allowing PSP ISOs would help the Vita while not hurting that bad PSP).

Wizeguy214126d ago

All of these great ideas!! Sony needs to step it up on the vita in general. I dont know what it is with sony and advertising this gen. But it needs to get off its ass. They have some quality products and they are not showing them off correctly.

BuffMordecai4125d ago

They are absolutely terrible at advertising, it seems like most people don't even know what a vita is. Their last good advertising campaign was with Kevin Butler, since then marketing has been pretty dead though.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5213d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212113d ago (Edited 13d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5212d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5212d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani13d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum14d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman14d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim13d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

I disagree Batman
