One editor played Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate for the first time. He wasn't impressed.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "The stealth genre is one that some would argue doesn’t even exist – many titles include stealth elements, but actually fit into one of a number of other genres like action, platformer, or third-person shooter. Ever since the breakout success of the Metal Gear franchise (in particular Metal Gear Solid), though, the genre seems on much more stable footing and it demonstrated that you can have a veritable blockbuster on your hands relying only on stealth mechanics as the main gameplay element.
In recent years we’ve seen other things like Assassin’s Creed, Hitman and Splinter Cell continue to push the genre forward, although it still has somewhat limited appeal. Thankfully, the Vita has a healthy selection of stealth games available (and even more with backwards-compatibility), meaning if you’re looking to do some sneaking on the go then you’ll be well served with the console."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "As the Vita provides a brilliant portable legacy experience for Sony’s other two home consoles (PS1 and PS2), I decided to focus this article on the next in line – the PlayStation 3. Unlike its predecessors, the PS3 far outpaces Vita in terms of power, on top of being built on an extremely unique architecture which meant porting between the two wasn’t as straightforward as it could have been. Still, thanks to engine compatibility and some brilliant efforts from developers, the two consoles shared numerous pieces of software and, where this wasn’t possible, others sought to provide bespoke experiences instead. Altogether this means that the Vita does a pretty good job at providing a portable PS3 experience."
“Sony may have advertised Vita as ‘console quality on the go’, which irritated many buyers due to games with reduced framerates and graphical elements being released“
Why would some people complain about that then but praise the Switch now for doing the same thing?
“The PS3 might not be remembered as Sony’s finest hour in gaming”
I and many others see PS3 as Sony’s best console
I heard comment that the unused port on Vita was originally planned for Vita TV function.
But Sony decided to take it out and release a separated failed Vita TV...
Aww... Vita could have been the Switch, but Sony got greedy and worried Vita will capitalize on PS4 market...
Hardcore Gamer: Utomik revealed just a small handful of the 26 games set to arrive on the platform in March. The highlights include The Sexy Brutale and Furi. However, their focus isn’t only on new indies as the classic adventure game Dreamfall: The Longest Journey is also being added
First, the Vita version looks MUCH MUCH better

Second, you can't expect aaa Batman on a handheld YET ! . Even though Vita could probably handle a batman game on par with Asylum, it'd take a lot of resources to invest in, which Sony wouldn't bother now.
This wasn't hyped to be a great game in the first place. When the reviews kick in, we will see what kind of game this is.
I'd still think this game has a potential to be good for a handheld. Hope the combat is fixed because slow-mo fights are too slow lol
all they had to do is merge batman lore + castlevania + bionic commando and they would have a hit. why am i smarter than everyone?
Does Sony even care about the Vita? The only reason I'm keeping it is for the potential with the PS4, not for crap like this.
