Ovosonico, an Italian studio who Sony signed a partnership with in March, has announced a Vita exclusive game titled Murasaki Baby. - PSLS
Kevin Webb: "While one of Sony's main goals with the Vita was to produce experiences that felt like playing on a home console, the Vita produced a number of unique games that were later brought over to more powerful hardware. And as the Vita got older, independent developers began to take advantage of the console's strong hardware and dedicated player base. For example, PC games like "Stardew Valley" or "Minecraft" that had earned an indie following could be moved to the Vita at low cost, letting players take their favorite games on the go.
The PlayStation Vita may not have been a smash hit, but there were plenty of gems to be found on the handheld if you spent enough time looking."
Frobisher Says was one of the best games on the Vita. There was just nothing like it. It's such a shame that Sony didn't see fit to invest in the Vita long term.
Agreed. Admittedly I brought the console only to travel with (a 41yo gamer here) finished killzone liberation and just started Uncharted odesey and Resistance games. I really only got it to play the games that just never came to ps3/4and surf the net. Its a handy console and it's a shame if has come to an end especially with no replacement in sight just yet!
Yeah, I loved the Killzone Liberation. Although I have to say that since Sony have dedicated their focus only on the PS4 it has gone from strength to strength. I hope they keep supporting VR though - that might be a game changer for them next gen if they do.
Some excellent choices there. I spent so many hours on Soul Sacrifice and Persona 4
As much as I love the Uncharted series I couldn't come to terms with Golden Abyss. It felt like a few steps back in the series
Danganronpa, Stien Gate, and especially Persona 4 are some of the best titles that available on the Vita.
I will miss this console.
No Freedom Wars or Killzone Mercenary?
Both deserve remakes. Mercenary is cannon and Freedom Wars is just one of those ultra rare JRPG games I found fun and think could appeal to a wider audience.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "There are examples out there of games being developed for Vita that truly make the most of its inputs, coming up with unique ways of interacting with the hardware to make for a memorable gaming experience. It’s these titles I’m looking at in this article – what they are and how they worked on Vita, both in terms of what they did right and what they could have done better."
CEO Massimo Guarini on preparing for the horizontal expansion of the industry, and the Italian studio's pivot into indie AAA.
Game streaming is still a pipe dream that marketing people like to mention once in a while to build empty hype.
It'll never work unless it can stream a full-resolution game at 60 fps and the input latency (ping) never ever goes over 16 miliseconds. Or at least that's for our current, outdated standards. Soon enough our standards will evolve to see 120 fps as the new standard, so input latency will need to be 8 miliseconds. Typical pings to streaming platforms right now are usually between the 40-80 miliseconds range if the server is near you.
The way forward for the industry is much higher resolutions, framerates, and input responsiveness. Streaming goes exactly in the opposite direction. It can work for games like Life is Strange where input responsiveness doesn't matter, but not for "realtime-controlled" ; ; games
Wish I could upvote this twice. Once for your informative post, and twice for the TimeSplitter reference of your name. In response to your post, though, it seems streaming games won't be an option until broadband speeds are ten times faster. Well... That's going to take a while.
Gamers should be extremely wary of this future streaming thing. Streaming takes ownership of games away, and only puts money in the pocket of developers. Not a bad thing considering their hard work and investment, however from a gamer point of view, this is potentially the end of an era. In a bad way. Imagine saying: Remember when you could actually own games?
I see the point, however buying a disc with content on it doesn't mean you own the content. What you have is a license. Which is no different from digital and is only differs in duration with a subscription.
Bullshit. You own the disc and the copy of the media that's on it. They can't show up on your doorstep one day and just demand it be given back because they no longer have any right to it after they sell it.
Thats the thing, if I wanted to play this game 2 years from the time I bought it or wanted to sell it I could. With digital, you can't play it later without monthly fee, and you can't sell it cause it isn't a physical copy. Options make digital and physical copies of games way different from each other. Physical is way more advantageous then digital no matter how you try to spin the license argument.
Bull. "you don't own the content". What the hell is that like I don't own the code and IP? Maybe not but I do own that copy of the game. This means I have total control of what I do with it. This means I can play on any system at any time with out having to go online to ask permission, I can sell it, trade it, lend it, play it again in 5 years etc. With streaming and digital everything is a rental the only difference is how long the rental lasts.
OK, I see the point. Let's just say I get a digital copy. Store it on a hard drive. Is there any difference now?
Tell you what bud. Once the internet runs on tachyons, and I have 0ms latency to my input? I still wouldn't accept "streaming" or "Netflix-like" style of business.
I'm sure I'm not alone, so, good luck with that. Maybe the moronic "mobile crowd" will bite on this garbage.
Internet still sucks in too many places and then there are data limits. This won't happen for a long time if ever.
Especially now that Trump ended net neutrality. Now if you want the good speed prices will be going up.
The easier something is to attain, the less valuable it becomes. Don't know why these people are in such a rush to devalue their own industry.
More like this game please, Sony :D
That was an awesome gameplay trailer. So looking forward to it.
This game looked like Tim Burton was making it
Looked GREAT!
great trailer can't wait
Goosebumps!
