The PS Vita is a great handheld and all, but where are all the interesting games? If you hear somebody say that today, point said chump in the direction of this here news story.
While scouring the interweb for juicy gossip, we came across a bunch of game release announcements from a range of sources. This isn't some concerted on-message push from Sony HQ, though - just a number of publishers revealing that they have faith in Sony's portable wonder.
but definitely buying one this holiday
it looks amazing and really looking forward to it
ps. i really hope developers support the vita and no custom piracy exist on it
PSN-avengers1978(of course)
I think you got the right idea waiting for one of the holiday bundles (the Assassin's Creed bundle is pretty pimp). I got my Vita a couple of months after launch and have no regrets. LBP Vita is the best LBP game yet IMO, and Gravity Rush is one of the best new IP's of the year. With PlayStation mobile, and potential high holiday sales, we should see way more support coming the Vita's way. I think New Little King's Story comes out this Tuesday, and Ragnarok Odyssey comes out late in the month if you like Japaneses games. The Vita is still in its infancy, and I can already see the potential.
Since VITA is region free, it's a must have for me. There are a lot of games for 3DS in Japan, that may sadly not make it stateside. One game I really want to play is "Time Travelers." And although it is also available for VITA/PSP, 3DS really is my platform of choice, so I'd prefer a localized 3DS version.
hoping my purchase of the Vita will be worth it at some point.
;-)
**EDIT** i didnt realize the sarcasm.. It seemed like u were calling people vita owners blind saying "vita has no games" my appologies
I actually... i actually don't get it. o.o
Vita needs some full fledged, western, exclusive, hardcore games. The best games for Vita are Japanese.
The fifth LBP. It's a great game, but I already have it on my PS3. Syphon Filter would be OK, because I can't really get that anywhere else, that's what I mean by exclusive.
So no longer do exclusives mean different stages, gameplay etc?
I can play Syphon Filter on my Vita. The two PSP games. Even if a new one was to be made it wouldn't be exclusive.
LBP Vita is a great game with different stages and features than the PS3 versions. The community created stages are also not going to be playable on the PS3 versions, although sadly, and I have no idea why, the community stages on the PS3 versions aren't playable on the Vita.
The only game I'm even remotely interested in is the Action-RPG Ragnorok Odyssey, but even at that it's nothing special based on Japanese critics.
I'm sorry but the only game that's looking like the most promising handheld title of 2013 is Souls Sacrifice, and that doesn't even have a release date for the west yet.
I thought this was going going to be something good, which it may be for some, but isn't for me. Happy gaming everyone!
U should go back to the empty nintendo articles & speak among your brethren about the new mario & the pii u.. This area is for the big boys, & has nothing to do with the children toys u play with..
Now if you excited for these games that's perfectly fine, but to attack an opinion is trolling at its best, so continue on showing what a big man you are!
Souls Sacrifice is the only game that looks promising to me and am disappointed the rout Sony has gone for Vita. I wanted original titles that utilize it's unique abilities and showcase its beautiful screen, not toned-down PS3 and DS ports! Hey, if your happy with shovel-where or games you could get on PS3 that's fine but not me. I'll wait till more original titles like Gravity Rush and Souls Sacrifice are available...
@YongPlex, I agree !
@TongkatAli, a blind fanboy is a blind fanboy, and it's somewhat true that "Vita has no games" when you compare it to 3DS, DS, and almost every successful handheld before it, even PSP. So don't become a fanboy yourself and try to redeem the Vita by touting the mediocre EDF 2017 and RM port as great games.
The 3DS has had more than a year out on the market including a holiday season.
Japan got the system December 2011 and the rest of the world go it sometime just this past February.
-Gravity Rush
-Unit 13
-Escape Plan
these come to mind immediately for me, all great games. And For some odd reason PS has this stigma that if they make spin offs or branching series for Vita such as AC:Liberations, or Uncharted that they aren't NEW games. What the hell is Mario then? Same formula repackaged and sold every 2 years or so. No different at all. It seems to be ok when NIN does it but not for anyone else. Double standards much?
-Sumioni: Demon Arts
-Army Corps of Hell
-Little Deviants
-Shinobido 2
All Games that are not on other systems, and i dont consider ports, Shinobido 2 is a sequel to a PSP game.
Somewhat true?
The absolute arrogance in that is just mind blowing, never mind the PlayStation vita has more software for it released faster and in a much shorter time than the 3ds has, in 3 more days 30 new games will be releasing that the PlayStation vita users will be able to look through and buy. If 30 new games do not mean much than that's just ironic in my view people been claiming the PlayStation vita has no games but yet here we are with over 30 new games are releasing for a system that is not even a full year on the market yet with over 90 games for the system by the time this year ends. Yet people like your self still sit there and claim the PlayStation vita has no games and you are calling other people out and calling them a fan boy when you your self is saying you agree with the statement the PlayStation vita has no games is somewhat true? It's not even remotely true, it's not even a debate the PlayStation vita has games a lot more in such a short point of time that it is a wonder how any one can claim it does not have any games at all , if it had less than 20 yea I could See someone saying that for a system thats been on the market for over a year, but thats not the case For the playstation vita, its not even that low in software support.So its moot in that point of claims.
Preferably Gravity Rush 2 though...
Maybe down the line when the Vita is an older machine like what they did with the PSP and the 3rd party games will also have to depend on the decision of the 3rd party developers too.
i'm still waiting for a exclusive, deep, 40 hours rpg
every game i have played on vita seems like a iphone game that should have costed $4 at most (thats why i rent console and handheld games, they usually are not worth the pricetag)
So, you fail...
Ps. That's not even half the games available on the vita or playable on it as well...
But it will.
Guys, guys, guys: the PS3 had no games.
But then it did.
Guys, guys, guys: the Xbox 360 had games.
But then it didn't.
These things change. Don't get so butthurt over console libraries. You can't really appraise the quality of a library till a generation is over.
And even then... there are still people rabid over the "lost gems" of the Gamecube and Dreamcast platforms. And, hell, the original Xbox probably still has some love.
From some one.
Some where.
And on a more serious note, the title for this article is fucked up. IGN is not the "East." And even assuming a simple mistake in sourcing, it's also worth pointing out that Germany is not the "East" either.
Eastern hemisphere, folks. Eastern hemisphere.
Thank you!
I never get my own way when it comes to games being localized for my region. I finally get one!
