5 franchises we want on Vita

Play-Mag - We are contractually obliged to like the Vita here at Play, but even we understand that it’s a great console burdened by a lack of must-have games. It’s a similar problem the PSP suffered on its launch, but after a few years it built up a considerable catalogue of great titles. We have faith the Vita will eventually end up in the same place, but just in case the guys in charge need a hand, here are five franchises we’d love to see on our handheld machines.

But current VITA carts only hold 4GB. VITA carts would probably need an upgrade to 8GB (at least) to get an open world game like that.

sinncross4053d ago

Thinking about Mass Effect, I really wish Sony would get into gear about PS Mobile. Would be great to get some cheap well known mobile games like
Mass Effect Infiltrator
Dead Space Mobile
Chaos Rings (basically like FF)

to at least get these sort of IP's represented on the device in a small capacity. That would be a step in the right direction to getting the bigger titles on the PSV.

I would love to see a Type 0 FF port after SE ditched the English PSP version, and a new Metal Gear Acid game would be sweet too.

classic2004053d ago

Not really, sacrifice the graphics and that world can be bigger than skyrim. Like back when morrow wind came out.

porkChop4053d ago

I remember reading that Sony was already testing bigger game cartridges before the Vita came out. I remember there were 8GB and 16GB ones. So I wouldn't be surprised if Sony already has them ready for developers to use.

jujubee884053d ago

Not to be too annoying, but can you link me to where you saw that?

I have followed a lot of VITA stories and never heard SCE get that intricate on those sort of details.

Sithlord-Gamble4052d ago

It is true. I read the same thing. Sony said that they have larger cards that they would be willing to make available if a developer desired their size.

This is a great list by the author. I'd love to have any of those franchises on my Vita.

Myst4053d ago

I would have enjoyed Final Fantasy Type-Zero on the Vita. Hell I'd probably enjoy it period if I got a chance to play it..

murdock554053d ago

fallout, gta, final fantasy, need for speed, mass effect, killzone, dead space, resident evil.

Kingthrash3604053d ago

Need for speed out already killzone out in September ffX announced...all others.....agreeeed.

tachy0n4053d ago (Edited 4053d ago )

just watch as most of these games come to the PSVita.

sdozzo4053d ago

I love my vita but I don't know if it is powerful enough for some of these games. Sorry, but some stuff runs pretty choppy. I know, everything can run choppy at some point but you see me working.

Kingthrash3604053d ago

Most ps3 games were choppy in first year....it will pick up once dev get into the meat of the vita. All systems go through this.

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?

ravens5210d ago

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.

MrNinosan10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

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

ravens529d 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.

VIK21219d ago (Edited 9d 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 🤣

ravens529d ago

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

ravens529d 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.

Barlos10d ago (Edited 10d 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.

Tapani9d ago

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

Rebel_Scum10d ago

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

I_am_Batman10d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim10d 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_Scum10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

I disagree Batman
