looks at killzone, tear away, soul sacrifice, and a lot of other games coming for the device. its the best handheld ever available hardware-wise which is very powerful with some great games. it definitely needs a lot of original titles with a price drop to spark more interest. the vita is doing badly at the moment which isnt because its a terrible device like other consoles or handhelds with missing parts, its a device that some considers a bit pricey so a moderate price drop and some really enticing software and a lot of it should bring a lot more success and sales. i cant wait for tearaway and killzone mercenary. i wish it had its own god of war, infamous and a port of games like ni no kuni, folklore, gran turismo, mgs 4, heavy rain and a few others.

There hasn't even been a price drop yet either. 3DS only started performing with software AND a 40% price cut.

That is why people on N4G and who write this article could never run a company. They would toss out every product at the drop of a hat the moment it begins to loose momentum or before they try any thing to save i.

Hasn't this type of article been done to death yet? It was the same thing with the psp. I love my vita and I'm currenty replaying Final Fantasy 1-9.

So has every nextbox/ps4 article/speculation/opinion.

mandf4083d ago

I think people forgot that there are games to play.

CDbiggen4083d ago

Currently playing through Final Fantasy IX and Castlevania SOTN on Vita and I'm loving it. Just being able to play all these classic games on the go (especially on the Vitas incredible screen) was worth the purchase let alone all the great new games on it.

yeah I never liked many turn based RPGs except FF7 is one of my favorite games ever. I recently got FF9 just to try and I really like it alot. Im on disk 3 now and have enjoyed it alot more than FF 8 or 10.

Im also playing my third version of ninja gaiden 1 as I got NGS1+ for free on PSN+ and I have to play it as its one of my favorite games ever.

But sales-wise 3DS is way ahead already and will only get worse but again Vita will have games wich is what matters for gamers.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil4d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai3d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing693d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle3d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal3d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa3d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal3d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
