One of the writers here at MiddleOfNowhereGaming tells us about the top ten games on the PS Vita. Do you agree with him? If not, what are your favorite Vita games?
"Driver was a technical achievement for PS1, a pioneer in cinematic gaming, and an often brutal challenge - TechStomper asks if its brand of 70s car chase antics still holds up."
Sadly youd be hard pressed to find any driving game with better physics these days. But the draw distance really kills it for me
Gran Turismo for PlayStation launched a sub-genre and revolutionised console racing - TechStomper asks is it still worth playing in 2024.
I'm not big into sim racing, but I got sucked into the hype for this one from magazines back then. I just played arcade mode and that was enough for me to feel like I got my money's worth.
Yeah, it's definitely worth playing today. GT 2 has a few interesting fan made graphical mods when played on an emulator as well.
Cars back then had much more personality then those we see today. Modern cars all about the led lights and the tablet size screens and they all seem alike, back then they could be simpler in design but had tons more personality.
That Corvette Stingray to this day is one of the most ferocious whips ever driven. Overpowered against other cars yes. But to drive it and be that close to losing control, but being in command around those curves, just can't be duplicated.
HiFi mode is also something I miss. There should be a mode in today's GT where it's Mano o Mano and the detail and resolution jump full throttle. In today's games, Max Ray Tracing and lighting and textures to make it look even more real..
Not according to Former Playstation president Jim Ryan for he told Time that he doesn't see why anyone would play old games given the advancements in fidelity achieved today.

The original PlayStation library has dozens of classics long since forgotten - TechStomper unearths five of these gems which have been lost to time for one reason or another.
Disruptor PS1, a pre Goldeneye console FPS from 1996 (with Command and Conquer type FMV cutscenes) and the first game by a pre Spyro Insomniac Studios directed by Mark Cerny. A good game for its time, and pre Bioshock use of telekinesis type powers. A game sadly almost completely lost to time
We need to bring back the golden era of ps1 & ps2 .
We need to see quality games developed with alot of passion to make gamers satisfied .
We need to benefit from new AI technology to bring something new to games something like " nemesis systems " that used in shadow of morder and upgrade it to next level
Does anyone else wonder if people stay away from the Vita or at least cling to the Vita is nothing but a dumping ground for ports because of lists like this? You figure, in the 2 years the Vita's been around, this site considers 6/10 of the best games of the games are mutliplatform / ports and 3/4 of the exclusives make up the bottom 5 titles. I'm not saying the Vita doesn't have a lot of ports / multi plats, but it does make me wonder.
The more I see Vita related news, the more I regret owning one. Damn!
I'm in the process of playing Persona 4: Golden right now and it's pretty great so far. I have a Killzone: Mercenary question for anyone who can answer it, as I can't find a concrete answer anywhere online. My question is this: Do the controls in Killzone for Vita do that thing where the latency on the control sticks (particularly while aiming) causes a slight input delay between the player and the game? Uncharted: Golden Abyss, for example, does this and it really kills the game for me because I end up not being able to aim for crap. I'm just curious because Killzone: Mercenary looks gorgeous and I've been thinking about picking it up for a while, but nowhere does anyone speak about whether the aiming is silky-smooth or not. Thanks!
Here's my own PS Vita favourites list:
1. Persona 4: Golden
2. Muramasa Rebirth
3. Uncharted: Golden Abyss
4. Gravity Rush
5. Ys: Memories of Celceta
6. Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
7. Dokuro
8. Soul Sacrifice
9. Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward
10. Assassin's Creed III: Liberation
Doesn't matter if they are ports or not as long as they are great to play.
I haven't put Borderlands 2 down, not sure why it didn't make the list, especially after the first patch. I have had my Vita since release and have played Borderlands 2 for more time in total than all my other games put together. Well Vita games anyway.
