Giant Vita Is The World's Most Pointless Handheld

The PS Vita TV has problems. Cramming it inside an over sized handheld shell to make it "portable" is not going to fix any of them.

Sandy_Claws3878d ago

Almost as pointless as the regular Vita!

JAY KAY !

Vita is an awesome handheld, actually the best out there too bad alot of ppl didnt get to experience it. Sony really messed up also with the overpriced proprietary memory cards.

nix3877d ago

those expensive memory cards really make me shake my head. on one hand sony makes PS3/4 where one can easily install 3rd party HDD and on Vita, they go and make us use super expensive memory cards. i still use 4GB memory card and it's cumbersome because i have to keep deleting games and i don't think i can ever buy big game series like GOW 1/2.

truly mind baffling.

having said that.. i use Vita to play all the free PS+ games.

ramiuk13877d ago

The card cost is the reason I refuse to buy one. It isn't needed at all, specially with the drop in and card prices

OB1Biker3877d ago (Edited 3877d ago )

I bought my vita with a free 16GB card and happy with it
Edit: GOW collection is on retail

nix3877d ago (Edited 3877d ago )

OB. i was just making a point and i'm talking digital. i just checked Killzone Merc.. and it's on sale but it clearly says i need 8GB or more space of disc space. if sony ever gives GOW series free or Killzone Merc free on PS+, i won't be able to play it unless i buy those expensive memory cards.

rextraordinaire3877d ago

Yeah, the proprietary cards are the one single thing I really don't like about my Vita. For the rest, it's really good.

So now they are trying to make an XL version just like Nintendo does with their handhelds? If your normal model is not selling, what makes you think an XL version will do better? 3ds did not get an XL version until the normal model started to sell. To this day both the XL and Normal are selling about the same amount of models a week.

Games sell hardware, not new hardware. Make more games for vita instead of wasting money on making an even more expensive models. I have more of a reason to buy the normal vita model now because it is cheaper and that is not saying much.

Angeljuice3877d ago (Edited 3877d ago )

Did you read the article? This isn't an XL Vita at all, I think you're confused.

It's a case that you put a Vita TV inside to make it portable. It's not even made by Sony and isn't an official product (its an accessory made by Gametech).

Cryptcuzz3877d ago

Cut him some slack man, reading comprehension is not his strong suit.

Seriously, most just comment base on the title and the result is usually going on a rant for no damn reason.

It also doesn't help that sites like Kotaku make articles like this only to bring out the worse in people.

Protagonist3877d ago (Edited 3877d ago )

@shaw98

It is a Playstation TV peripheral and Sony did not make it.
They just made Freedom Wars though,
also Tales of Hearts R just got released,
so did Minecraft
and so did two Senran Kagura games
and Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate
and Natural Doctrine
and Invizimals etc...

I just mentioned 8 games released within 2 month for the Vita (and there have been more releases)

Now what is baffling to me, is guys like you are on N4G, yet still dont know what is happening with the Vita...

Guess it is only the negative headlines that attracts...

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5496d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905496d ago (Edited 5496d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5496d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5496d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495496d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5496d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5496d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
