Sales for Sony's new portable haven't been too hot lately, but will the arrival of the PlayStation 4 spur Vita sales? Will consumers want that great combo?
Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered players are ticked off by the game’s most recent patch, which censors in-game pin-up posters of Lara Croft.
This is why gaming is screwed. When people change things to fit someone’s agenda, it’s a slippery slope downhill.
tbh I dont see something like this as censorship. Does anyone else not find it strange for someone to stick pin ups of themsleves in a locker room?
Now of it was a pin up of some half naked firefighters it might make sense as Lara might like that, and if they removed that I would cry censorship. But removing pin ups of the main character, yeah I get it.
By the year 2030, this remaster collection will totally be changed and censored. Probably will remove Lara as a playable character. It's ridiculous. Glad that my family didn't buy this.
I still have Tomb Raider 2 PS1 as a memory.
It’s mentioned in the article, and it’s a point i 100% agree with, it’s the fact that they can censor a game after you buy it. That’s total bullshit.
Whilst it's an overreaction to say this has "ruined" the game, it's still problematic that this has happened post launch and for many, post-purchase.
I don't want someone to change a product for the worse after I've bought it. The same goes for implementing micro transactions after reviews.
I wonder why they did this? Nobody was kicking up a fuss as far as I'm aware.
Gary Green said: In a time where an enhanced, 3D remake of Final Fantasy III already exists, it’s hard to argue that Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster is the definitive version we were expecting. With Final Fantasy III already being the last in the series to be translated and make its way west, this is something of a slap in the face for the fans. Still, let’s not be disheartened. There may be many shortfalls in this edition of Final Fantasy III, however there’s no denying that this classic JRPG still holds some nostalgic value, even if it struggles to break away from its original hardware limitations.
It’s funny I’m seeing these articles about pixel remaster, and I just platinumed 1-4 within 8 days lol. I’ve been on FF5 for about a week now. Let’s just say 5 was the start of FF having content like crazy. I should have the plat within 2-3 days.

It could. Gaikai is gonna play a big part in that and obviously great Vita software.
Sure, but if I'm investing in buying a PS4, I'm not going to get a VITA on top of that. I only have so much money and PS4 is the bigger priority. It's a bit of an awkward time to sell VITAs as a complimentary to PS4's, when PS4 has all the attention. Consumers need to manage price and necessity, so it's tricky for Sony to be selling both. The biggest benefit PS4 will give VITA is how PS4 seems to be built easily with VITA compatibility in mind, so that is a great way for VITA to piggyback off PS4's success.
VITA should focus on more exclusives/self contained games to spur sales for now. FFX HD should be a good boost, the indie support seems to be good. They need to get games like Minecraft VITA on that thing, as I think it would be a really hot seller (and if I'm not mistaken, MS's exclusivity contract with Minecraft is ending soon). Minecraft is the one hot third party title I can think of that has some seriously untapped potential to boost VITA sales.
They can focus on the "PS4 on the go" concept for the long run, but I think VITA could seriously benefit from traditional enticements like lowering the price, remodelling, advertising, and bigger exclusive blockbusters for now. I at least hope this is the focus at E3 for VITA.
as long as it can use remote play properly on any ps4 games right out of the box... im sure it will really help the sales of vita ^_^
dont let us down on here, sony this feature will add an extra benefit for vita
Cross-compatibility can encourage people to buy the two in tandem, but obviously the two need to be worth buying on their own as well. The Vita is a $300 handheld gaming device, not a controller and needs to have a strong library all its own with cross-compatibility being a secondary feature.
Sony theoretically could do a bundle, but only if they can find a way to keep the price competitive.
psp was for ps3
ps vita is for ps4
