It's just going to get better in months to come. I got a Vita for Christmas, fantastic device! Currently playing Terraria, MGS Hd, tearaway, DWNext and several more! Need a new 16gb card as it's full up with another 8 games waiting for download/install!

TheDude793726d ago

I feel your pain man, I completely maxed out my 32gb memory card. There are just so many games that fill so many needs! I love my launch Vita, but I'd be lying if I said that new Borderlands 2 Vita Slim Bundle hasn't been on my mind since its announcement!

One-Shot3726d ago

The list is missing Persona 4 Golden.

TheDude793726d ago (Edited 3726d ago )

Which is why we addressed that in the disclaimer at the beginning :) Thankfully this list can (will be) updated over time! There seems to be a whole lot of love for Persona 4 Golden, I may have to give it another try. Thanks for the comment!

One-Shot3726d ago

Oh yeah haha. That's what I get for reading the list and working at the same time. Yeah lately I have been obsessed with it so hopefully you guys enjoy it too.

Coolblueboy3726d ago

currently playing toukiden age of demons, and my 32gb is full, i have KZ, YS, DBZ, Uncharted, Soul sacrifice, UMVC3, Gravity Rush, Little Big Planet, Ninja Gaiden, PS All stars,Wipeout, and Dragons Crown.Need to download street fighter when it comes to plus.

TheDude793726d ago (Edited 3726d ago )

What's your thoughts on Toukiden? I can easily make room, just want to get some gamers opinion of it!

Thehyph3726d ago

There's a demo on the psn is you didn't already know. It'll at least give you some idea.

Thehyph3726d ago

Good list.

I would only add two games if it were my list: Dragon's Crown and Super Stardust Delta.

TheDude793726d ago

Dragons Crown was another tough one to leave on the sideline! Love the co-op in that game!

cyphertech3726d ago

Some games not being on Vita make absolutely no sense. Puppeteer, Contrast, and Papers Please to name a few.

TheDude793726d ago (Edited 3726d ago )

I just have to say that Puppeteer excels at 3D better than most of the games I've played that support that feature

captainexplosion3726d ago

Wow, could not disagree more. I thought the 3D was terrible.

Guerrilla Announces Shutdown of Servers for Killzone: Shadow Fall and More

In August, online servers for several PlayStation games will shut down, leaving their multiplayer functions unplayable.

purple101643d ago

whrere on earth is the next killzone, im soooOOO thirsty for some proper weighted, (but still fast when running/sprinting) fps gamplay, it felt sooso so good on ps3, with that, lets be honest, very small, quite uncomfortable sixaxis dualshock controller, that was just too small for western sized hands, ok for japanese kids i suppose was the point>??

now with PS5 controller, it would be totally masterfull.

ClayRules2012643d ago

I hear you. I want some NEW Killzone, especially on PS5, with the PS5 DualSense controller with that ever so impressive DualSense of an experience Haptic feedback!

Knowing how far Guerrilla has come since Horizon: Zero Dawn, Killzone can only benefit greatly from their ever growing talent!!

Bobertt643d ago

I think Sony has given up on their exclusive shooters. They haven't released a remaster for the Resistance series or a new SOCOM game either. I don't think Guerilla is in a rush to make Killzone since they have Horizon now too :(.

Outside_ofthe_Box643d ago

All I want is for them to build Killzone 2 with multiplayer included from the ground up, keep the gameplay the same, and I'll be happy.

GG with KZ3 and Shafowfall haven't been able to match KZ2 so I don't really have faith in another sequel.

Unfortunate that KZ2 came out during COD era where every game that didn't pay like Modern Warfare was deemed garbage. KZ2's multiplayer is definitely an all time great.

Michiel1989643d ago

since when was kz2 deemed garbage?

MizHDTV643d ago

Right on dude
KZ2 was just a special game to me

sinspirit643d ago

I'd love KZ2 multiplayer again. I also think they could easily incorporate a mode to compete with Battlefield style game modes

Seraphim643d ago

KZ2 was one of maybe a handful of games I actually put time into online. What a blast!! And the campaign was excellent as well. I certainly miss that dark world. Still ashamed I never buttoned up that Platinum.

Storm23643d ago

A remake of Killzone 2 with the same grittiness and feel on PS5 would be f*cking incredible. The SP and MP were just perfect. I played the sh*t out of that game. Would happily pay a lot of money for that.

DarXyde643d ago

Honestly, I don't like FPS games. They're not for me, but I do agree that there was something about KZ2 multiplayer that even someone like me enjoyed.

Sony really needs to get better about tearing down servers. I don't like that they shut them down.

shadowT643d ago

agree, KZ2 was a masterpiece

Muigi643d ago

KZ3 multiplayer was better imo.

Outside_ofthe_Box643d ago (Edited 643d ago )

@Michiel1989
"since when was kz2 deemed garbage?"

As with anything, things don't get the appreciation it deserves until way after it's release.

KZ2 got a lot of flak for it's weighty controls that many mistook for input lag. People didn't like that it wasn't a twitch shooter like CoD. You also had people saying things like "it feels like you're controlling a midget", "enemies take too long to die" (you can't pray and spray in kz2. You have to shoot in bursts for your shots to be more accurate), people complained about the sniping, etc.

This led to a lot of changes in KZ3 that turned the vets off like reducing the amount of variables for bullet damage, getting rid of spawn grenades, etc.

BISHOP-BRASIL643d ago

@DarXyde

I don't think there's much Sony or any other company in that position can do much different about it... Keeping servers running simply cost money, these gomes don't generate none anymore, so eventually they need to pull the plug.

Astrokis642d ago

KZ2 was definitely better then KZ3, but the third one still had strong suits. It’s been many years but I remember something about Shadow Fall being made by a team at GG that did NOT do KZ2 and KZ3 multiplayer which is why it felt different. I remember when I found that out it made a lot of sense about Shadow Falls multiplayer feeling so off.

elazz643d ago

Horizon zero dawn sold more copies than all of the killzone franchise combined including spin offs on handheld. I guess that's the reason why won't see killzone from guerilla soon. There is at least one more mainline horizon coming out and their second team is working on horizon VR I believe. So it's gonna be a while unless another studio takes over.

Profchaos643d ago

I've been playing a lot of Killzone 2 on rpcs3 with a duelsense combined with the ability to remap controls to a modern standard and bump the game to 60fps it shows that we really need a remaster to probably the best killzone game to date although shadowfall technically beats it in the graphics department art style was so different that they are incomparable

MizHDTV643d ago

I’d be happy with a release of KZ2

John_McClane643d ago

Killzone went to the same place as Socom and Mag, more money in 25 hour single player games with no servers to maintain. Socom was literally the reason I bought a PS2, Resistance FOM the reason I bought a PS3, all gone now.

senorfartcushion643d ago (Edited 643d ago )

Killzone has never been weighted correctly, the jumping never worked.

A new properly-weighted shooter in the Killzone series would be great. More like Killzone 1 and 2 than SF.

I think the issue comes from the fact that the Helghast side is sympathetic while looking like Nazi stormtroopers. The Trump age has led artists to avoid this look entirely.

ironmonkey643d ago

I feel something may be announced soon

ManMarmalade643d ago (Edited 643d ago )

The sixaxis felt fine in my hands since they're small, but the ps5 really made me feel the difference. So ergonomic.

Gardenia643d ago

Killzone 2 was/is so good and it still looks good today. The multiplayer was fun as well. If they make a new Killzone I hope it is the style of Killzone 2.

Hauntedasylum8643d ago

I wish Sony didn’t abandon Resistance and Killzone. Those are some of my favorite series on PlayStation. If they’re not gonna make anymore, then maybe a remastered collection of each could be negotiated.

DefenderOfDoom2643d ago

KILLZONE 2 was my reason for buying a PS3. If a new KILLZONE or RESISTANCE was coming out in 22 I would try to buy a PS5 immediately.

Lightning77643d ago

SSOD2 would be big for Sony. The only reason they would be interested in it is if they can turn it into a live service game.

In which I can see that happening.

Hauntedasylum8643d ago

Hell yeah, brother. You and me both.

VanDamme643d ago

For anyone trying to understand @Lightning77’s comment, they had a typo, this should clarify:

SOD2
Superoxide dismutase 2, mitochondrial, also known as manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase, is an enzyme which in humans is encoded by the SOD2 gene on chromosome 6.

Profchaos643d ago

After 5 killzone games including portable Sony felt it needed a break I wouldn't say its abandoned however I believe we may randomly get a ps5 remaster with improved lighting to test the waters and eventually a full blown new game after all you can't just leave shadowfall on that ending

SeTTriP643d ago

Horizon is priority now its a mega franchise for them maybe after Horizon they might revisit.

Imalwaysright643d ago

I refuse to play for online play but there is one game that would make pay for it and that's Resistance Fall of Man. That's the only game that would make me throw my principles out of the window without feeling ashamed of myself.

jBlakeeper643d ago

Remember in the mid 2000’s when nearly every developer started to do FPS or linear third person? Now nearly every developer wants to do open world exclusively because it’s the easiest type of game to leave things out and then expand upon the world with DLC.

So many fond memories of both Shadowfall and Mercenaries Vita online! Shadowfall's SP may have been weak, but the MP was still a ton of fun. I had a lot of time in both, and it's especially tough seeing the Vita's best mp experience get shut down.

RIP my old friends.

LoveSpuds643d ago (Edited 643d ago )

In my opinion, I thought the single player games was really decent too and was treated quite harshly by the critics, but then, I think the Killzone franchise as a whole was kinda under rated by the critics. I always enjoyed the story in these games and I liked the slower, more deliberate gunplay too.

I remember getting my PS4 on day 1 and the first game I installed was Killzone Shadowfall, my workmates and I would play it for hours on end, the mode whish switched between game modes was brilliant.

P_Bomb643d ago

A world without Killzone Online. That it’s come to this…

10 years on, Hotline Miami's OST remains the perfect accompaniment for introspective ultraviolence

Do you like hurting other people? Ten years later, it's probably the music that drove you to it, let's be honest.
