5 Console Games that will (Hopefully) Come to Vita

The PlayStation Vita may not be selling like hotcakes, but the handheld has a dedicated-niche audience and an insanely high attach rate at 10+ games per handheld. PlayStation hasn’t supported the Vita with many first-party titles this past year, we’re starting to see a bit of a change. PlayStation is taking action to insure we get ported versions of some great console games. We’re already seeing titles like Resident Evil: Revelations 2 and Resogun make their way to the handheld, here’s five more games we think will (hopefully) come to Vita in the coming years.

Why would people want a handful of ports for a supposed powerful system like the Vita?

I would feel cheated if this was the extent of Sony supporting their handheld device with just ports/

Persona 5 would be the only game worth getting out of that list. But me personally would rather play it on a console at home, not while in a doctor's office or in between classes at school.

With Sony and Vita it isn't ports vs. original games. It's ports vs. literally nothing from them. Recently Sony has been doing a lot of the latter.

I want original AAA brand name Vita games like GTA or Infamous, but at this point would settle for ports. How sad how is has become, that it has come to a point where we (Vita owners) are now hoping for at least a port of a PS2 or PS3 game.

Not unless you want a severe downgrade in graphics and a 15-on average frame rate per second.

It would be great to have another proper Persona game on the system though. I think that is the platform where a good chunk of the fanbase was cultivated, simply because Golden was THAT good and everyone who owns a Vita has played it by now. It doesn't even have to be a mainline installment, just a spin-off that plays like traditional Persona.

Actually there's nothing in P5 vita couldn't handle in the right hands, the graphics and tech are not that good. P4DAN is even powered by the same engine, so you can consider it a warm-up or a baptism of fire.

Persona 5 is going to happen on a handheld. Every prior entry in the series has been ported to one. However, you're right in that it won't be Vita. It will most likely be Nintendo's next handheld.

I think asking for Atlus to make an original side Persona on Vita in 2015 isn't possible. Despite big success on the platform with Persona 4 Golden and Dragon's Crown, Atlus doesn't really make Vita games. They make oodles and oodles of 3DS titles, though.

[PSVitaPS4owner]

Atlus has commented on the playstation blog that Persona 5 will not happen on Vita (it was a question asked on the forum). So I would not hold my breath for it.

[nodim]

They simply milk Etrian Odyssey and SMT with remasters. The heck these oodles have to do with Persona.

@Acquiescence

Have you seen games like Freedom Wars, Gravity Rush and Uncharted for the Vita. There is nothing we have seen in the P5 trailer that the Vita could not handle. It is even a turn based game!

And it is not like the game is optimized for the PS4, it probably got straight ported from the PS3.

[SaveFerris]

I'm kinda torn about this. I think the failure of the Vita was the lack of support by Sony to bring standalone games, not cut down home console titles. But at the same time, many people (especially in the West) wanted COD, Uncharted, and inFamous on the Vita. Japanese consumers seemed happy with RPGs, visual novels and the kinds of games that did well on the PSP. It just didn't work out for the Vita.

Sony lost Monster Hunter Franchise!
This fact alone buried PSvita.

[InahimeHondaSengoku]

It doesn't mean it is dead. It is now a niche Japanese and indie machine. That is what's keeping it afloat... :/

[Dinoegg_96]

Nope, even if MH is a big game in Japan, it isn't that big in the West. The fact that sony did absolutely nothing to advertise the Vita's biggest games (like Killzone Merc) and right now they aren't doing a thing for the console is what has the console is "almost" buried.

The console is still alive thanks to companies like NISA, Aksys, XSEED or Atlus US.

[gokuking]

"Persona 5 is undoubtedly the most popular game fans want on the Vita."

Monster Hunter?

[brettnll]

I wrote the article. I meant *one of the most popular*. I'll fix it soon. Cause there are certainly others that are just as popular haha. MH is one of them.

[HentaiMasterRace]

P5 is a certain one, hell there's even a guy playing a Vita like handheld in the part with the subway(P5 trailer).

[PSVitaPS4owner]

If Sony and other publishers will not develop original Vita games, then these 5 port games need to happen:

GTA San Andreas (Saints Row or something in this gameplay)
NBA 2K (also NHL)
Infamous
Shadow of Colossus/Ico
Devil May Cry Trilogy

[brettnll]

Yea haha
