PlayStation Vita Christmas Buyer's Guide

Dealspwn: "The PS Vita is a premium handheld with incredible specifications and a deceptively deep games library. Despite having an unfair reputation for providing few AAA exclusives, Sony's portable offers some of the best handheld games ever made, on par with home console titles, alongside a thriving indie scene, excellent localised Japanese games and a back catalogue spanning the PSOne and PSP. Not to mention nifty remote play functionality when twinned with a PlayStation 4.

Put simply it's a must-own device for gaming connoisseurs. In this guide we'll discuss the hardware, software and then the cheapest way to get up and running."

Trigger Happy Havoc is this year's best game for me. Never played a game or even seen a movie that exciting before.

Kurisu3437d ago

I've heard good things about Danganronpa. I'm getting a Vita for Christmas so I'll have to check it out :)

Blues Cowboy3437d ago (Edited 3437d ago )

Yep. It's amazing. The sequel was good, but the original gripped me from beginning to end. Couldn't put it down.

Danganronpa gets a big shout-out in the guide's game section - "Spoiler alert, this will almost certainly be my favourite game of 2014 come end-of-year article season!"

TheGrimReaper00113436d ago

..... Okay, that's it.

You talked me into it.

I'm buying Danganronpa.
I hear so much positive things about it.

theshredded3437d ago

Wow I feel silly,I always thought it was Dragonrompa not Danganronpa
anyways,I'm buying one,can someone recommend what game I should buy with it?should I get Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster,Persona 4 Golden,Danganronpa 2 or Freedom Wars?

Rockets123437d ago

All of the above??
Out of that list I would recommend Persona 4 Golden by far. Easily the best game on the system, imo. Can't go wrong with any of those though

Protagonist3437d ago

@theshredded

You just named 4 excellent games for the Vita.

2 classics and 2 about to be classics.

Blues Cowboy3437d ago (Edited 3437d ago )

P4G is the best game on that list, but it does often come up in PSN sales! (at least in the UK). FFX HD might be a slightly better value option long-term if you're talking about bundles, and it also happens to be brilliant.

However: DO NOT PLAY DANGANRONPA 2 BEFORE THE ORIGINAL. It will make little sense and you'll spoil the first game too. Personally I think the first game is far superior to the second in terms of characters, storytelling and writing/localisation anyway, but D2 still a must-buy once you've completed Trigger Happy Havoc.

Erm, and I'm not a fan of Freedom Wars personally. I actually much prefer Soul Sacrifice Delta, Ragnarok Odyssey ACE and Toukiden, but that's just my opinion man.

Hey, I like Akiba's Trip. Don't judge me.

kryteris3437d ago

Pretty damn good guide if you are from the UK.

Phoenix763437d ago

I picked up my vita bout 2 months ago now, very pleased I brought it as I had a huge backlog of games that was able to bring over from the psp go which died out at start of year, and also had loads built up from being a PS+ member since start. Excellent value for money :-D

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

ravens5210d ago

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.

MrNinosan10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

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

ravens529d 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.

VIK21219d ago (Edited 9d 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 🤣

ravens529d ago

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

ravens529d 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.

Barlos10d ago (Edited 10d 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.

Tapani9d ago

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

Rebel_Scum10d ago

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

I_am_Batman10d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim10d 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_Scum10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

I disagree Batman
