PlayStation 4 is doing exceedingly well this generation but the Vita has fallen off the map. Can you imagine if the handheld had been just as successful?
Michael Kitchin writes, "I simply cannot trust Wrath: Aeon of Ruin, at present. For as tense as combat can feel, it can't match the fear of a game seconds from breaking. At the time of writing nobody has finished this game. My save is broken to the point where there are two levels I can't even finish due to scripting errors. If you have to check it out, PC seems to be where the support and community is. Out on Playstation consoles, it's toast."
Shame, I love modern boomer shooters. I've been burned a few times by poor ports of popular pc focused games to consoles, pathologic 2 for example is unplayable on ps4, a lot of times these ports are made by third party companies and receive poor support
Charles Cecil has revealed that the the team at Revolution need a couple more months to finish work on the project.
The legendary perk system in Fallout 76 requires a bit of a rework and some fans think they have the perfect way to change up these perks.
Sony could package some PSTVs with PS4 since that's a more reasonable offer than offering a handheld with the console.
I dont understamd Sonys lack of enthusiasm about the Vita. Its still the most powerful handheld on the market. They need to get out and get some major third party support. Instead of lowering the price of the PS4, package in a Vita with every console at $399. Make a bunch of killer first party titles for it from proven franchises. It seems a perfect platform to breed and improve upon the Knack series. Get the entire Resistance collection ported, along with games like Ratchet & Clank and Crash. Poll companies like Namco to throw an Ace Combat on it, along with a new Ridge Racer.
The Vita still has a lot of life left, if Sony just stops being lazy with it. They could still turn it around and make it an important part of the Playstation family, along with the PS4 and Morpheus. The potential is there, it just has to be realized. What better way to do that and get the numbers of units sold to a level that interests third parties by packaging it in with every future PS4 sale. Push Remote Play and get an HDMI out on the Vita, with DS4 support, so gamers can take their PS4 games with them wherever they go and view them on any HDTV.
With a good push, the Vita could be the Cinderella story of the game world... or continue on its current path and go down as one of the biggest let downs of all time.
The current state of the Vita boggles my mind. Especially after how successful and absolutely awesome the PSP was. It was my favorite gaming system last gen, by far, with all the cool things homebrew offered not to mention the TONS of games available. Sony has not only dropped the proverbial ball, they stomped on it and deflated it into complete red headed step child status. It's unbelievable to me. It would be a great bundle with the PS4 as one of the best features it offers is remote play. What's going on Sony?!
Sold my Vita yesterday. Had it 6 months and only ever played Persona.
It already is a killer combo for me.
In the past month, I about 70% of the time I spent on my PS4 was via remote play.
Since I've gotten my vita, I've played Bloodborne, FF0, Destiny, dragon age and many more via remote play.
It's an amazing feature, and I wouldn't get as much time on my PS4 as I do now if it weren't for remote play.
