Vita(l) Signs Are Slipping! We’re Losing Him!

GXC: "[Sony] birthed [the Vita], filled with all the potential and just left it to die. Sony needs to turn it around. Quite how Sony plans on doing this is a mystery to me; And probably Sony too...

So here, right now is my list of things that will resurrect the Vita."

I'm hoping Sony shows some great third-party releases for the Vita at E3. It desperately needs it.

The article is right, it can't just survive off of the indies and few first party games spread through the year alone.

Trunkz4018d ago

Vita isn't dying
Wii U isn't dying.

Just wait for E3 for them to announce games and release dates before people are firing harsh comments.

LOGICWINS4018d ago

Its not all about games, that price needs to drop. Black Friday proved that many are willing to buy a Vita at $200. Memory card prices are a joke as well. They need to be cut in half.

Xof4018d ago

Neither may be dying, but they're both certainly floundering for lack of games.

Remember how badly the 3DS was doing one year into its life? Nintendo really invested a lot of effort into turning it around, and today, in 3DS' second year, the platform is fantastic.

Sony and Nintendo both need to bring that some level of commitment to the WiiU and Vita platforms, otherwise they both most certainly -will- "fail."

Godchild10204018d ago

I agree with LogicWins. They need to drop the price of the system, Black Friday showed that a 200 dollar price tag works for consumers and the recent drop in Japan with some releases showed that as well.

I'm hoping for a drop in Memory card prices, but also a 64GB compatible one.

Shacojin4018d ago

Sony give me a higher capacity memory card... 32GB isnt cutting it anymore. 64GB would be nice.. and announce for VITA.. NBA 2K14, Resident Evil, Dead Space, Monster Hunter, SimCity *No DRM*, Grand Theft Auto, Fallout..

himdeel4018d ago

I too have been ready for a 64 gig card.

LOGICWINS4018d ago

Yes, were going to need that extra space. Don't be surprised if GTAV turns out to be on the Vita as a cross buy at E3.

brettyd4018d ago

Dying? If anything i thinking its just coming to life. A lot of games already and more are coming.

profgerbik4018d ago (Edited 4018d ago )

Do people even consider all the damn PSP games that haven't even been mentioned that will no doubt be on the Vita later on with sequels of some kind? Sony has more developer interest than any of the three right now anyway, so why would anyone be worried knowing that also?

I am not worried one bit, it has every thing it needs to exceed except massive sales.

What I find even more stupid is all the games people ask for anyway are just games that are already on PS3.. As usual Sony can never win with what they do. People want more new games but then they just want the same games, just newer....

People always find some angle to complain from but just from knowing all the awesome third party games the PSP had, I am not worried that those same developers have big plans for the PS Vita in the future.

Williamson4018d ago

I bought my vita bundle last october for $199, Imo thats the sweet spot for the vita. Cut the price of the system, memory cards, and I choose to believe the first party titles are in development and its only a matter of time until they are revealed.

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...

ravens5210d 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.

VIK212110d ago (Edited 10d 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
