I can give you 10 good reasons to buy a PS Vita.

1 Gravity Rush
2 Uncharted: Golden Abyss
3 Wipeout 2048
4 Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational
5 Touch My Katamari
6 Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3
7 Sound Shapes
8 Oddworld Munch's Odyssey / Stranger's Wrath
9 Resistance: Burning Skies
10 Retro City Rampage

Also, PSP games on OLED screen, dual analog sticks, non gaming apps, and the best d-pad ever created for a portable device.

CommonSenseGamer4283d ago (Edited 4283d ago )

So then, why is it not selling?

And don't make me.laugh, "non gaming apps". If non-gaming apps is important you wouldn't buy a Vita.

Anyway, why buy now when in 6 or 12 months time you'll still get everything on your list but for less and probably with a mem card thrown in.

CaptCalvin4283d ago

Or why not just wait half a decade and get everything for like 20 bucks yea?

ginsunuva4283d ago

Because Sony can't advertise and no one has heard of the Vita. Maybe it's the name. Doesn't sound like a console. Too unrelated of a name. Sales would've been 10x if it was called PSP2.

CommonSenseGamer4283d ago (Edited 4283d ago )

@capt
Good idea, a half decade wait seems like a good plan. Maybe I should have done that with the Go and saved myself $400 in 2010.

In 6 months time we'll know if the Vita has found its place. Right now I can't tell if it will become another Go or not. Its simply not selling from what I can see. Games certainly don't feature for long on top 10 lists either so developers must be finding ot hard to turn a profit from it as well.

@gins
Or maybe if you're going to price it in the same league as a smartphone that most consumers will go with the smartphone.

souljah454283d ago

Hey dont forget MGS:collection. Mortal Kombat and Ninja Gaiden

AztecFalcon4283d ago

The wait between the post-launch releases and this upcoming slew of them was long and terrible. But I still love my Vita!

Xof4283d ago

Now is a terrible time to buy a Vita. In the Spring, sure, it was nice. We were getting retail games and digital content. Now? We haven't had a single game released retail since June 14th. We've had virtually nothing from the PSN, and between now and October 30th there's only 1 release worth mentioning.

Hell, the biggest "thing" for Vita owners to look forward to in this five month stretch is PS1 b/c. That's it, and we've no idea when this feature--which was advertised right out of the box--will ever be implemented.

The Vita is a fantastic piece of hardware--but now certainly isn't the time to buy one.

Unless, of course, you're a Sony fanboy or have enough disposable income to import games. Have you seen Japan's Vita line-up? AWESOME.

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.

MrNinosan15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5215d 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.

VIK212115d ago (Edited 15d 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 🤣

ravens5214d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5214d 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.

Barlos15d ago (Edited 15d 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.

Tapani15d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum15d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman15d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim15d 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_Scum15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

I disagree Batman
