Four Reasons Why Vita's More Popular Than You Think

IGN - Sony's Don Mesa spoke to IGN about all things Vita. Here are four statistics he gave us that paint a surprisingly rosy picture for the handheld.

Cam9774044d ago

Recently confirmed for the Vita:
Telltale's TWD.
Machinarium
Jak & Daxter HD (Rated by ESRB, I take that as a confirmation).

I CAN'T WAIT FOR E3 and GAMESCOM.

Snookies124044d ago

Oh wow, if the Jak and Daxter one is true, I'll pick that up for Vita no doubt!

Neckbear4044d ago

Port.
Port.
Port.

I like the Vita's hardware, but can it get something that ISN'T a port?

caseh4044d ago

How dare you ask for original titles

SandWitch4044d ago (Edited 4044d ago )

Soul Sac (exclusive)
Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (multiplat)
Tearaway (exclusive)
Dragon's Crown (multiplat)
Teased SEGA title (multiplat)
Killzone Mercenary (exclusive)
FFX HD (remake, multiplat)
FFX-2 HD (remake multiplat)
Valhalla Knights 3 (exclusive)
Guacamelee (multiplat)
Kickbeat (exclusive)
Ys: Memories of Celceta (remake?, exclusive)
Warrior's Lair (multiplat)
MotoGP (multiplat)
Snapshot (multiplat)
Muramasa: Rebirth (remake, exclusive)
Frozen Synapse (multiplat)

And about 50 other games that we don't know about yet. Lots of multiplats I must agree, but personally most of them look more suitable for portable gaming.

TooTall194044d ago

Ragnarok Odyssey, Gravity Rush, Uncharted: GA, Dokuro, Killzone: Mercenaries, and Unit 13 are exclusives.

Anon19744044d ago (Edited 4044d ago )

And what the hell is wrong with ports anyway? There's plenty of original titles out there but what on earth is wrong with ports, if well done?

The reason why the Vita's seeing ports is because it can actually handle ports. I don't know how on earth anyone could spin this as a bad thing.

"Oooh! The horror! The Vita has games to play, and some of them have been released elsewhere!"

Give your head a shake. You don't like ports, don't buy em.

Hicken4044d ago

So... all the non-ports or non-multiplats suddenly cease to exist because of a few new ports announced?

Soul Sacrifice is no longer coming?
Gravity Rush no longer exists?

Damn.

Protagonist4044d ago

@Necnbear

Oh so now we are back to the ol´ port argument.

Keep Ignoring the exclusive titles, hope it makes you feel better about PS Vita.

if you need to give reasons why something is popular than...

danny8184044d ago

Who was that white guy on the right. He was creepy

G20WLY4043d ago

They're all white!!

You're right though; the guy just sits there with his dead eyes bearly blinking and nods occasionally lol! Excellent cntribution, thank you... He didn't even get introduced - so what's the bleedin' point?!

Glad it wasn't just me that thought that :/

WalterWJR4044d ago

What is the guy sitting with the cup of joe actually getting paid to do, sit there and say nothing?

FAT MAN GO BOOM4043d ago

Talk about rude from Colin.. why did he not introduce him or anything...

InTheLab4044d ago

I got called a crackhead by a deranged fanboy in the last thread where I said Vita was performing poorly....which is the truth. They said as much in the video. Cant wait till those same nutters show up and bash IGN for stating the truth.

As for the video...I easily dump more than 20 hours a week when there's a new release and I'm satisfied with my Vita so far. I never understood why people keep saying Vita has no games when there's so many good one available and more on the way.

Looking forward to the walking dead. Got a feeling that Vitas touch controls will make it the best way to play.

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?

ravens529d 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.

MrNinosan9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

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

ravens528d 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.

VIK21218d ago (Edited 8d 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

MrNinosan8d ago

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

ravens528d ago

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

ravens528d 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.

Barlos9d ago (Edited 9d 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.

Tapani8d ago

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

Rebel_Scum9d ago

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

I_am_Batman9d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim9d 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_Scum9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

I disagree Batman
