PlayStation Vita getting too many "Tech Demos?"

Many argue that the PlayStation Vita’s lineup hasn’t been very strong, while others think the Vita has had a great lineup so far. Now many are arguing that the PlayStation Vita has too many “Tech Demos!”

It's cool to hate Vita for some reason. Whatever, their loss for the people who pass it up. I've owned it since launch and am STILL immensely satisfied with it.

JESUS! HOW MANY BUBBLES CAN A PERSON HAVE?!?!

Snookies124116d ago

Haha, there are quite a few who have more than I do.

jujubee884116d ago

I wish I could have that many. :(

Anon19744116d ago

Sometimes, I miss my bubbles. I had eight of them a few years ago. They were cute. Each had it's own name. Then they were taken from me, never to return no matter how many people bubble me up. *sniff*

Anyway, I'm a little at a loss as to what all these "tech demo's" are they're referring to? They mention Little Deviants and COD. I never played LD, but how on earth is COD a tech demo? The article never explains or elaborates.

I haven't had an issue myself with the Vita's lineup. I've played hands down the best games I've ever seen on mobile on my Vita. Uncharted still amazes me that I'm playing a game that close to the console version on a console. Gravity Rush is fresh and original, Rayman reminded me why I used to love platformers again and I haven't even had a chance yet to break out AC Liberation which I received for Christmas. Meanwhile, I keep finding myself going back to cool little downloadable titles like Retro City Rampage, not to mention I'm still playing PSP games on my Vita.

Anyone else with problems with "tech demo's" on the Vita?

Skate-AK4116d ago

There is this one dude I see here evey once in a while that has over 13 bubbles.

I've had a few minutes of spare time, and I spent them playing my Vita instead of my PS3.

I wish (well I know) more games come out. Can't wait to play NHL 14 on it!

Axe994116d ago

Well said - I'm incredibly happy with mine, which I've had since launch in Feb. The article hardly helps - picking out two games, one of which was clearly a tech demo, and the other one of the worst games to release on any system in the last few months. The Vita has a good number of full-sized games for its time on the market. The likes of Gravity Rush, Uncharted: Golden Abyss, LBP, AC3:Liberation, Unit 13, Playstation All-Stars, Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter are hardly tech demos.

Zhipp4116d ago

I don't own one, but I played it in the store. It was nice, and they actually had demos of interesting games, unlike a certain other handheld. *cough3DScough* Seriously, how do they expect to show off the 3D aspect with games like NSMB2 and fashion designer, or w/etf that stupid little game is called.

Erm, anyway, the Vita seems pretty solid, and I'll probably get one 2-3 years into this generation, as is my custom.

sdozzo4116d ago

Immensely... no. but it is a nice handheld.

MastaMold4116d ago

Owned a PS Vita since launch and i've used it everyday since.

If there wasn't so much negative energy surrounding this console it could actually do great. Of course it has it's flaws and maybe a gimmicky feature (back touch pad) but what console doesn't. Instead, we hyper analyse everything bad about the console. It's a great handheld and I think everyone should buy it. It starts off with slow sales and everyone thinks that it must be defective it's just as good as your tablet, phone, or your 3ds. I love my vita (despite the fact that it refuses to fit comfortably in my pocket)

akhmenhawk174116d ago

PS vita has no games>PS vita has too many ports> psvita needz exclusivez> PS vita has too many tech demos> PS vita has....
aah shatap already.

Irishguy954116d ago (Edited 4116d ago )

I have one and I think it needs moar games. Unlike Ps3 and PC, There isn't an overabundance of games.

Too little games - Vita, WiiU
Enough games - Xbox(including multiplats)
Lotsa games - Ps3/PC

When I don't have something to play on it or there isn't new games consistently coming out on it. It needs more games

Snookies124116d ago

You're comparing Vita and WiiU neither of which have been out for a year to something like PS3 and PC which have had years for games to come out? Give it time man, they'll get plenty of games.

TheLastGuardian4116d ago

If you don't have something to play on it, it's because you aren't buying games for it. I have a sh**load of games on my Vita and not nearly enough time for them all. Of course, I spend a lot of time with my other systems too. There's a bunch of Vita games I'm holding off on buying because I just have too much to play on it already. If you really want to get some use out of your Vita, go buy Persona 4 Golden. Who needs games releasing consistently when you've got games that last you months?

@akhmenhawk17

Also " why Is P4G only for the PSVITA... Soul Sacrifice should not be an exclusive for the PSVITA, It Is too good!... I would prefer Tearaway on the big screen " etc...

The PSVITA is awesome!

SAE4116d ago

declassified was more like an app not a real game . it doesn't try to be one. the campaign/graphics and even gameplay were short and weak just like app games ..

but vita proved that it can handle ps1/psp/ps2 and even ps3 games with little downgrade in few things ...

1nsomniac4116d ago (Edited 4116d ago )

I think the author misunderstands what a tech demo is, because a game is poor it does not make it a tech demo. Despite how lacking the mentioned games are they are just that, lacking or poor quality games, not tech demos. They are however a good start to build from & hopefully a sign of things to build from & improvements further down its life cycle.

I was dead against getting a Vita purely because of Sonys poor attitude to its customer base this generation & all the negative press its got but I picked 1 up cheap & have to say I dont regret it, it's a great piece of kit & I always end up going back to it for a quick play.

GameBlinx4116d ago

I know exactly what a tech demo is, that is why I listed the definition.

I also said at the end that I rather not call any of the titles a tech demo.

People are claiming half the titles as tech demos, I rather just say that they are still testing the full ability of the Vita.

"There is still plenty of room and power for the Vita to grow."

Protagonist4116d ago (Edited 4116d ago )

I´m on different forums, but this is honestly the first time I´ve read about games being tech demos for the Vita.

How about some articles about the vast amount of games for the Vita or an article about a few ports is not a bad thing concidering we got P4G and that games for the PSVITA actually has great overall scores according to Metacritic.

Hicken4116d ago

What people? All any of us here have seen calling games "tech demos" is you.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5067d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905067d ago (Edited 5067d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5067d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5067d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495067d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5067d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5067d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
