Sony’s handhelds have always been second to Nintendo’s in the west. The Playstation Portable was mainly owned by those who really loved Sony’s exclusive titles or people who enjoyed emulation thanks to the Playstation Portable’s homebrew scene. Many people argued that the PSP didn’t do as well as it should have thanks to piracy whilst others would argue that it’s doing just fine or that Nintendo’s portable consoles were just too big to overtake.
While gamers usually take notice of the mainline missions, these 5 side quests deserve more widespread attention for how entertaining they are.
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?
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.
Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...
... 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.
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

80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣
Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.
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.
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.
Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.
Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.
Uncover secrets, defeat challenging bosses, and upgrade your arsenal in these exciting Metroidvania titles on the PlayStation Vita.
Lol well the real value of gaming hardware is the software you can run on it. I'm surprised indies weren't addressed as they are not doing much for the system other than (poorly) filling a software drought along with Japanese shovelware (no not Toukiden or Final Fantasy X). The fact that we have no announced games from Sony outside of SCEJ is simply astonishing and shows that there is really no push to get this thing into people's hands. So yes, I think it is a niche handheld, a niche within a niche. I mean honestly there is no real diversity in its software catalog and indies will contribute very little if nothing to that with the majority of indie games being bland on the Vita.
It will be. Heck, if you look at PSP's game sales, the PSP was a niche console (even the highest-selling games never got more than 5m in sales) and I'm doubtful the Vita will sell more than the PSP.
I still love the dang thing. Gonna play the Toukiden demo tonight.
I don't think it's a niche handheld at all. There are tons of great games and the library is growing every month. If you own a PS4 you should own a Vita also. Until Playstation Now comes out that is. I'm Just Joking! But seriously it's a great system, except for the memory cards. They really need to change that! If you buy it you won't be disapointed, just don't buy the "new" one, buy the old one because it has a bmuch better screen! IMP
I'll answer that question with another question, what is a PlayStation Vita?
No I kid.
Yes, the Vita will always be a niche console, to sell less than 100k during the busiest month of the year in the biggest gaming market is not a good sign.
yes, but even the 3DS is kinda niche in the West, most western studios and gamers see handhelds as second rate consoles, don't respect them like Japanese do.. that's why Vita main base would always be those that enjoy Japanese games
