Is Playstation VR the Next Playstation Vita?

Remember when the Playstation Vita was first announced? The optimism was palpable. The 3DS had just launched at the pretty steep price of $249.99. Then, at E3 2011, the bombshell was dropped. Sony CEO Kazuo Hirai stepped on stage and delivered what would surely be the 3DS’ nail in the coffin – an equally impressive $249.99 price point.

Under appreciated and good price point?

ONESHOTV22884d ago

reall? let me ask you before i start my argument do you own a vita ?

I own one too and it broke few months ago because i stepped on it drunk and will be buying another one. It was imo the best handheld out there and the tech is awesome. I love my Vita! and played plenty of games for it with some of my favorite being unit 13, Persona, Resistance (yeah i liked the portable Resistance), Killzone, Soul Sacrifice and others.

With all that said PSVR with all the positive feedback, already mentioned exclusives coming like Rigs, GT VR, Until Dawn VR and others, already seems like it will launch well with more ppl backing it due to what it is (its a good VR solution and ppl are dying to be immersed in games)

Do you? How many games do you have on it?

The Vita did got decent support until the PS4 came and devs shifted focus to the PS4. It's something Sony doesn't really have much control over, or something that can be very risky with their own devs. I mean, stop making games for PS4 for the vita when the PS4 is the hot item right now?

I have one and I have many games on it. Yeah too bad that there hasn't been any 1st party content on it, but the many ones I have will always keep me coming back to my vita.

Vita was not expensive imo. It is an awesome handheld with cool features. I think its price was alright minus the 3G model. 3G on Vita was useless. $100 more plus AT&T contract was not worth it

Vita wasn't a new technology trend. There weren't other companies all trying to launch their own Vitas. Vita was entering into a well established market that it had to compete against.

VR is a brand new thing, PSVR is said to do it among the best, software support is strong due to competition in the PC space, and (for now) Sony enjoys a VR monopoly in the console space.

As long as Sony treat it like a real platform to develop on it won't be.
It would be stupid for Sony to drop it if it's not successful out the gate.

But the connection to the PS4 will allow to stay.

joeorc2884d ago

Umm, Sony built separate VR development Studio & Management for 1st party games to be developed for PSVR, one thing of Which PSVita never had the luxury of. 2nd of all Dedicated Game handheld consoles have had very stiff competition from smartphone's, Phablets, and tablets.

VR for console gaming has at this point have had no real stiff competition yet due to it being very relatively new market. Added Into console gaming market.

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos23h ago(Edited 23h ago)

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

phoenixwing15h ago

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola11h ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn66914h ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle14h ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
