Transmissions from the Void have posted up their review of COD: Black Ops Declassified. Is it the saviour of the Vita or an over-priced turkey?
PP: Was Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified really that bad on the PS Vita?
In comparison to its console counterparts at the time? Yes. Yes it was. In comparison to DS versions? It was god like
I got tons of fun out of it.
Killzone was better, yeah. Heck even Resistance online was better. But CoD Resistance and Modern Combat and such were all fun to change it up a bit when you've grinded too many hours into Killzone.
If i had to review them, yeah, all those games would get a low af score except Killzone. But i had fun plowing through the Resistance campaign and playing online and goofing off with CoD online while travelling. Not everything has to be a masterpiece but they were all fun enough for what they were lol
How is a system so loved within its community considered a commercial failure, and how did the Nintendo Switch take its idea and run with it?
Highly overpriced proprietary memory, and Sony showing it little support, themselves?
Pretty much Sony ditched it to focus on PS4. Can’t say I blame them, but it is disappointing. If Nintendo can manage to put out games for handhelds and main consoles-I would assume Sony could too.
I personally skipped the vita because memory was just so damn expensive - then eventually, Sony gave up on supporting it.
it got nowhere near the love that the PSP got, which is an absolute shame cause it paired pretty well with the PS4.
The only thing Sony cared about was protecting its image against piracy. They were willing to destroy it for the sake of saving face to its investors after the PSP. Same approach they took with not allowing external storage on the ps5.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Many would argue – and I wouldn’t really disagree – that the PlayStation Vita never really had a killer app. There wasn’t that one piece of software that helped change the console’s fortunes. The closest we got was arguably Persona 4 Golden, an early release that received huge critical acclaim, but it was part of a niche series and as such its sales impact from a hardware perspective was muted.
There were missed opportunities along the way, as certain titles had the potential to change the Vita’s fortunes, but the way the final product was delivered (if indeed it was delivered at all) left a lot to be desired and so they didn’t reach their full potential. It’s these games I’m aiming to look at this in this article – 10 games that were missed opportunities on Vita. I’m not saying that every release I’ll be talking out here had the potential to be a “killer app”, but if they had been executed a little better they would have undoubtedly been a key factor in helping the console reach a wider audience."
My soul still aches over the idea of making 3D Dot Game Heroes a Vita series never happening after the dev studio expressed interest in doing so. Could've been a flagship for it, or at least carried it a bit further.
The vita contributed to the ps3 having less support from Japanese devs. I hope sony keep focusing on one console at time like they are now in the future
After playing the MP, Nukehouse is the worst map in the game. The map is small and with 8 people it feels like you are just standing on the other players. Kill Confirmed and Free for All are my two favorite game types. I never thought I would enjoy playing online so much, I suck on the console Version but I'm better on the Vita.
While I agree with most people now, that Vita owners are defending this title like it's better than the reviewers say, but once you play the game you would understand why we are doing it. More importantly if you played Resistance Burning Skies.
The load times in this game is good enough for me to type a piece of a message and then go get some kills in and come back once the match is done. I do have issues with connecting though.
Ya these reviews are BS! The game was made for muliplayer on the go.From what I read people who own a vita say the multiplayer is awesome. I never played COD campaigns its all about the multiplayer for me! The grahics are awesome for a handheld and if I had a vita I would buy it in a heartbeat.The reason these sony bashing trollers are like oh people hate Black ops 2 or COD but say the vita COD they want and like. UMMM DUH it's on the go COD of course people want it. I will not buy the new MW3 or COD BO2 because it think personally the series is repetitive to the boring point. I have all the COD games before mw3.The vita is a different animal and to have a COD game on there with killer muliplayer is what people want. GO TO METACRITC AND THE PEOPLE WHO OWN AND PLAY COD DECLASSIFIED LOVE THE MULTIPLAYER. MORE PEOPLE HAVE POSITIVE THINGS TO SAY WHO OWN IT THAN PEOPLE WHO DONT LIKE IT AND OWN IT!
First honest review I've seen. This is a good game! Not great, but good (probably the best shooter for a handheld). I just hope all of these hate comments don't prevent DLC later on. And if they threw in some free DLC that might turn these reviews around. Looking forward to Killzone Mercenary next year!!
