PS Vita gets a bunch of new game announcements from the East

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. (PS Vita)

I like what I am seeing

i havent bought a vita yet
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

The vita is really great, and the quality of the screen really shows when watching HD videos. The games are fun and look better then any hand held... I'm sure in a year or two there will be thousands of original vita games, and this holiday has some pretty good bundles for it. I think you'll be very happy with it.

PSN-avengers1978(of course)

@ princejb134

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.

I liked my Vita when I had it. I'm just waiting on a new model, hopefully with video output like they did the PSP-2000.
darkziosj  +   236d ago
that's all? go look at 3ds games in the TGS 2012 now that is a bunch of games
stragomccloud  +   236d ago
Who cares. As long as good games are coming, it shouldn't matter. After all, we only have so many hours in our lives to play games.

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.

looks like more shovelware on its way.

hoping my purchase of the Vita will be worth it at some point.

Blind people: "Vita has no games".
GribbleGrunger  +   237d ago
If that's an attempt at sarcasm, I can only assume that it's badly framed. If that's an attempt at trolling, I can only assume it lacks originality.
TongkatAli  +   237d ago
How am I trolling? I'm making fun of the people who said the vita has no games.
GribbleGrunger  +   237d ago
I picked neither. Clearly it's badly couched sarcasm
rpd123  +   237d ago
That's not sarcasm at all. If anything it's irony.
DivineAssault  +   237d ago
If vita has no games, u must not be a gamer & have no place on this website jr.. Vita has games out & incoming that can be played by every type & if u dont fit, u aint it..

**EDIT** i didnt realize the sarcasm.. It seemed like u were calling people vita owners blind saying "vita has no games" my appologies

PSN is cool
Vita needs some full fledged, western, exclusive, hardcore games. The best games for Vita are Japanese.

Little Big Planet
telekeneticmantis  +   237d ago
This is what
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.
eferreira  +   236d ago
not to mention assassins creed and silent hill
kupomogli  +   236d ago
@telekeneticmantis

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.
cpayne93  +   237d ago
You can get syphon filter other places, two were made on the psp, excellent games I might add. It's the fourth lbp btw, and it sounds like the best one yet.
YoungPlex  +   237d ago
Oh snaps a port of the PS3 game Rainbow Moon is coming to Vita instead of making it a cross-game title... Next is a crappy attempt of a PS3/360 title RTS from Sega, Earth Defense Force 2017

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!
Ayabrea123  +   237d ago
Play something else and stop being a couch potato. On top of that, why would you take criticism to a buying decision. That's an opinion, not a fact. I'm just saying. The vita has games but people don't want to step out the comfort zone. Step out and try something new. I'm sure if you have one or don't, there are games you definitely did not play before or attempted. Do that
DivineAssault  +   237d ago
Why do u speak on things u know nothing of? u think Soul Sacrifice is the only promising game for vita yet playing 15 yr old games is promising to u on 3ds? lol thats hilarious.. Mario land, kid icarus, & revelations are the only new games it has.. The rest are recycled games of decades past.. I know vita isnt appealing to an E rated game player so stick to what u like son... Maybe after u hit puberty, vita will seem more appealing to u with features a handheld in 2012 should have.. My phone has better looking games w way more features than 3ds.. RE is the ONLY new game on 3DS that isnt a family friendly cartoon.. Vita may get ports too but theyre CURRENT gen ports, not 15 yr old N64 games & w hint of ps2..

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..
YoungPlex  +   236d ago
It's funny how defensive fan-boy's get on this sight and start attacking people just for their opinion. I get a nice laugh out of it.

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...
for we are many  +   237d ago
More games for Vita is a good thing, but, the two games the article is talking about are not that interesting, while EDF 2017 is a mediocre game at best, Rainbow Moon is a good game, but it's already on Ps3(I've personally played and liked it), the Vita needs more games especially those that are built around the uniqueness of a handheld system and not ports from Ps3.

@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.
TongkatAli  +   237d ago
Gravity Rush is awesome, but who cares right ? Its only one game. It hasn't been out for a year. Idk what you're expecting and frankly I could care less.
lodossrage  +   237d ago
Of course it's going to have less games out than the 3DS
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.

vita has quite a few really unique exclusives that are not ports.
-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?
mi_titan27  +   236d ago
just to add to your comment, what about:
-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.

has no games
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.

I'm happy to hear picotto knight is heading to the US. It's free and I like the art style reminds me a little bit of FFIII on the DS.

I never thought I'd bitch this much about a sequel again, but give me Gravity Rush 2 or give me death!

Preferably Gravity Rush 2 though...

Is EDF coming to PSN? Please Jesus let be.
aquamala  +   237d ago
Vita exclusive Games like gravity rush, ac 3 liberation, black ops Declassified , uncharted, I don't see why they won't be on ps3 on a later date. Just like god of war origins collection on psp. Why would these devs ignore the huge ps3 install base and choose not to make money there?
tiffac008  +   236d ago
That would just draw too much negativity at this point in time. It would be like saying Sony is abandoning the Vita. I don't think they will do it, with the Vita being a young device and all.

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.

taquito  +   236d ago
so a bunch more crappy ports, cool

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)
one2thr  +   236d ago
LBP, uncharted, unit 13, gravity rush, sound shapes, escape plan, super star dust, MGS HD, and motor storm RC, are all games that can't be found on iPhone or any smartphone nor can any of these games be properly implemented on said devices other than the PSVita....

So, you fail...

Ps. That's not even half the games available on the vita or playable on it as well...

I'd like a new Mark of Kri game on vita. That game would fit perfect with the touch screen. I like my vita but games needs to start coming out faster. I wanna use it more often.
sdozzo  +   236d ago
Sounds crazy, but the best part of the Vita is its ability to "freeze" a game at any point and pick it up later to play. I wish consoles could do that.
one2thr  +   236d ago
Just like the PSP, and I kept a game "frozen" (on the Vita) overnight and it didn't even drain my battery, heck I was able to get enough game time out of it that gotten me through my work day

Guys, guys, guys: the Vita has no games.

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.

"Action-RPG Ragnorok Odyssey will be making its way over from the US to Europe"

Thank you!

I never get my own way when it comes to games being localized for my region. I finally get one!

Vita ps+ epic! 1 hour trials! Discounted games 10% off! 1gb cloud saves no memory card needed for game saves. Free Games would be too much....:'(
