Five Games That Could Turn Around the PS Vita's Misfortunes (Gamerhub tv)

The PS Vita could be doing better...but these five releases will certainly help.

gamerlive4006d ago

PS Vita needs a LOT of help.

dedicatedtogamers4006d ago

Y'know, after the DS began kicking the PSP's butt, I remember a lot of people saying "LOL See? This is why you don't challenge Ninty. Dead in the Water handheld" and then the PSP went on to sell 80+ million units.

And before anyone says "that's because of Monster Hunter". Monster Hunter's highest-selling game was Portable 3rd, Japan-only, and it sold less than 5 million. There's a huge gap between 5 million and 80 million.

The Vita will do fine. It's going through the exact same growing pains that the PSP did.

creHEARTive4006d ago

I want a Vita, but there is just no need.

LOGICWINS4006d ago

Just like you don't "need" any gaming console. If you get a Vita, its because you WANT it, not because you NEED it.

CalebZachary84114006d ago

While I agree these games will definitely help. I believe Killzone would be in my top 5 of games that can help the PS vita.

LOGICWINS4006d ago (Edited 4006d ago )

Right, like Killzone 3 helped out the PS3 and Liberation helped the PSP.

*Said no one ever*

Look, Killzone is a great franchise, but its not going to move a massive quantity of units unless its bundled with a Vita at $199 or less. The franchise just doesn't have that kind of selling power.

What will sell Vita is an accumulation of great titles, not one or 5. Last year, numerous N4Gers wrongfully assumed that having a COD game on the Vita would somehow MAGICALLY get people to spend $249 on a handheld.

Guess what? They all had to eat crow.

DarkHeroZX4005d ago

KZ3 didn't help the PS3 much but KZ2 sure did. And KZ on psp was more a tactical shooter and is nothing like any of the other KZ games. I can see this KZ game for the Vita being something huge. A fps with dual analog sticks, console quality graphics and hopefully gameplay, and the full KZ online experience. Like it or not you need great fps games,on top of other platforms, to survive which is something the vita doesn't really have.

Kalowest4006d ago

All those games look great, but unfortunately the 3DS has the MH and SMT series.

CalebZachary84114006d ago

Persona 4 Golden is better than the 3DS SMT series...

Kalowest4006d ago (Edited 4006d ago )

I have P4G and it's a great game, but I'm still looking forward to SMT 4(It's the first game of the main series, in the last ten yrs) and Devil Survivor 2 Break Record.

God P4 fanboys are annoying!!!

CalebZachary84114006d ago

Well, I'm not a fan boy. I will probably get the new SMT, but I just don't know if it can be better than P4G... I really don't. We will see though.

awkwardhamster4006d ago

Making their memory cards cheaper would go a long way.

Why mention PS5 when talking about PS3

Magog334d ago

The load times in retrospect are unbearable but I did have hella fun playing couch co-op with my gf on the PS3 and PS2.

anast334d ago

Couch co-op is the best alternative.

Rynxie334d ago

Resistance 2 co-op was amazing! I wish they would remaster resistance 1-3 and killzone 1-3 for the PS5.

1Victor210d ago (Edited 210d ago )

Let me save you the time to scroll down no Warhawk or Starhawk, 2 of the best co-op games on PS3

PS Vita Exclusives Freedom Wars, Soul Sacrifice to Have Servers Shuttered

Sammy: "Two high-profile PS Vita exclusives, Freedom Wars and Soul Sacrifice, will have their servers deactivated on 24th December, 2021. Both titles, published by Sony in response to its loss of Monster Hunter exclusivity, were built around co-operative play, and maintained relatively dedicated communities to this day."

Oreshika is also getting it servers shut down too. Big shame for these games. Honestly some of Vita's gems.

Snookies12881d ago

I'm surprised these were even still up! Loved the Vita though, had some great times with that handheld.

XxSPIDEYxX881d ago

These games deserve sequels or remakes. It was Soul Sacrifice that even got me into Monster Hunter.

Rangerman1208881d ago (Edited 881d ago )

Honestly surprised they never got ported to the ps4 or even PC. Since Sony won't give the vita another shot, wht not make a Vita collection? Could have Soul Sacrifice, Freedom Wars, KZ Mercs, Uncharted Golden Abyss, Murasaki Baby, etc. As a way to conmemorate the Vita.

CDbiggen880d ago

Freedom wars servers are still up? Holy shit.

jimbo6597880d ago

This why you never should have achievements/trophies locked to online only features.

I have a friend who still has a sealed copy of Folklore. I’m sure it’s worth more now than it was when it released but I’m not sure how much more.

franwex1126d ago

Bought it for $5 at Walmart. I have yet to play it. But I did open it to look at it. Heh.

phoenixwing1126d ago

the game is actually good. I'd rather buy and play it than keep a sealed copy

Indigon1126d ago

Yeah I gave my brother my PS3 for free with a lot of games but I kept Folklore.

Teflon021125d ago

Folklore is an amazing game. Should have bought 2 copies. 1 to play and one to keep

Seraphim1125d ago

yeah I still have a sealed copy of Folklore too. I almost never do this but I had originally rented it. One day I saw it for like $20 at Walmart so picked up a copy. Always meant to re-play it but just never did. I think in part because it never got trophy support[?]. It was an interesting and unique game that didn't get the love it deserved.

I see Trails of Cold Steel II is tagged. Not sure where PS3 prices sit but the PS4 version of both Trails I and II were around $140 as recently as a little over a month ago. Ended up buying both of them digitally then buying III and IV on disc. Shame I kept putting off buying them. Just a couple months prior you could still get them both for about $45 each. Anyway I'm almost finished with II and hopefully be playing III and IV next.

Petebloodyonion1125d ago

I would suggest using price charting to evaluate the value of a past game.
https://www.pricecharting.c...
value for the game new is 60$

Hawk1986661125d ago

Its not worth much, about £20.

monkey6021125d ago

I want Folklore. I've been trying to find it for some time now. It's one of the only games set in Ireland so I've been busting to play it some time

And wait for emulation and/or till their PS3 dies?

franwex1126d ago

3D Dot Game Heroes is a cool game that may soon go up in price too. I enjoyed it.

Indigon1126d ago

That's one that has been quite hard to find for some time.

Godmars2901125d ago (Edited 1125d ago )

At least you didn't own ALL Panzer Dragoon entries only to sell them all on ebay.

Don't talk to me about seller's regret...

nommers1126d ago

I'm so glad I kept my copy of this game.

Soy1125d ago

Great game, lots of fun - and definitely tougher to find. I'm glad I kept mine.

Teflon021125d ago

Glad I still have it. One of my fav games that gen

PS1, PS2 and PS3 BC right now is pointless. The top games are extremely overpriced or aren't available anywhere anymore. The best that can happen is Sony putting all the games on the PSN and/or PS Now. That way we all can play the classics, with trophies and some optimizations.

Godmars2901125d ago

Pointless, unless you have a 2st stage production model PS3.

One have to get fixed, but still, I've got it.

gold_drake1125d ago

exvuse me
i still play games on my ps2.

Gardenia1125d ago

That's because you only think about yourself. 90% of gamers don't have PS1, PS2 or PS3 games lying around. What do think is going to happen when there is BC and games like Vagrant Story, MGS, Suikoden 2 will be on sale? The few that are will be sold for hundreds of Euro's/Dollars.

Digital is the only option for everyone to be able to play those games.

gold_drake1125d ago (Edited 1125d ago )

ooff yea im only thinking about myself by playing my ps2 games haha.
the whole point about my reply was that, BC is not pointless. alot of ppl still have their old games mind you.

HankHill1125d ago

Nobody agrees with you so I guess you're the one only thinking about themself.

TheColbertinator1125d ago

Still have the Neptunia box sets unopened. Every year they get more valuable
