Eurogamer Hardware Test: Playstation Vita TV

Genius idea, half-baked product, or both? When Vita TV was first revealed on the eve of the Tokyo Game Show, the reaction to the screenless version of Sony's underperforming handheld was uniformly positive.

Very nice micro console, already better than the Ouya.

However, it might have to undergo some re-branding before it's able to be sold in the US. It might be best to distance itself from gamers and go towards the mainstream to boost sales.

As long as the advertise it as a media device (like an alternative to Apple TV.....) but say it can play games and connect to your PS4 (the later being extremely important if the PS4 sells bucket loads) it could do quite well.

Price is key though

Mikey322304153d ago

Its going to fail even though i dont want it to.

The thing doesnt work right.. It uses a touch screen interface copy and pasted from the vita, there are a lot of issues with that just of in itself. It has compatibility issues with many games.

I think they should make it have a more modified OS, thats more specific to the needs of the device.

Then they needs to advertise it as such.. which they wont. this is sony.

FriedGoat4152d ago

I kind of agree with mikey.

The Vita OS needs a overhaul. It needs to be more like the PS4 OS. I still can't believe we have to deal with these horrible bubbles with almost NO information.

Looking forward for it to come to the best, could remote play on a TV in lunch break at work :D

ruefrak4153d ago

You can't review the VitaTV just yet. A big selling feature for this is the PS4 remote play which isn't available yet. Right now it's very tied to Japan and the services offered there. However, once it does come to the West and the Remote Play functions are patched it, this is going to be amazing.

I also really want it to be able to play any Vita game. If the game is not optimized for the VitaTV, warn the player but let it still play.

Vita tv is going to do big in U.S $100 to play with a ps3 &4 controller will be amazing

Wow Again?

Digital Foundry: Compared to PS Vita Remote Play and Nvida Shield, the Wii U GamePad Scores 13 days ago

Lol, Yes i read the entire thing, and i must say while quite entertaining.

Its an Apple's to Orange's testing to make, or imply its an Apple's to Apple's test.

Richard Leadbetter being used as a source for an unbiased test and even to try and claim its Unbiased; is like asking Microsoft to say that there is not one part of Linux that does not infringe on any of Windows Patents.
LMAO

Look again, at this review on the PSVita TV, that by the way is made with software just for the "japanese Market" but yet he's doing test's on it right now, outside of Japan!

but still lambasting the product the same!

Great going there Leadbetter

Did Sony drown your Cat or did they eat your cup of ice cream or something?

I wonder if it’ll be a Remake or simply a Remaster though. Remake suggests a complete rework and overhaul like with FF7.

Jigga6920d ago

I have read it will be a remake but only one game.

Cacabunga20d ago

Remaster is already out.
Remake will blow my mind!! I didn’t play this for a very long time and day one collector edition. One of the most memorable games from PS1

PixelOmen20d ago

FF7 is a lot more than just a remake. It's a more like a re-imagining bordering on a reboot/sequel. There are plenty of remakes that are not just remasters that don't go anywhere near that far. Examples include Demon's Souls (2020), Resident Evil (2002), Tony Hawk 1+2, etc.

jznrpg20d ago

It’s been rumored a long time now so hopefully it is soon.

GooGobbler20d ago

is 9 really the best in the series? i'm not into FF but i heard a few fans make that claim

LiViNgLeGaCY20d ago

Even though it's not my PERSONAL favorite, I would say yes, it's the best game in the series.

Shane Kim20d ago

7 & 9 for me. It's a lot more simple and charming than many other FF games, but still has layers of complexity. It also have my (and many others) favourite character in any FF, Vivi.

Snookies1220d ago

6, 7, 8, 9 & 10 are generally considered the best of the series. That was the golden age for Final Fantasy. They're all quite different from each other though. So it's impossible to really say which one is the "best" in the series. Since their tone, setting, characters, world & gameplay is always changing.

Nittdarko19d ago

You hit the nail on the head, I think the reason 6-10 are considered the best is because they all excel at something unique and stand out
6 is very much the majora's mask of the FF series, it has a massive cult following and has the best villain
7 is the face of FF and a general entry point into series and the first 3D FF, the materia system is 10/10
8 is the dark horse and the most adult and the junction system is the most complicated out of the series (my personal favourite)
9 is the most charming one and although it has dark moments its generally quite light hearted and feel good
10 critically I would say is the best one with the best single player story to any FF and the graphics leap was insane from PS1 to PS2 and whenever I recommend an JRPG I say FF10

Kakashi Hatake20d ago

Not at all, good but overrated. I have no idea why.

FinalFantasyFanatic20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

7 for me, most would say 6 or 7, but FF9 was well known for being underrated, even for it's time, I rank FF9 pretty highly, even if it's not my favourite.

Snookies12 pretty much has the right idea, you can't go wrong with the golden era of Final Fantasy.

Dudebro20d ago

9 was the last great traditional ff game.ffx was great but it was the beginning of the end.ffx paved the way for what we know as ff today.
