GamePro: "The first day of E3 brought us four press conferences, and they all had their moments. Well, most of them anyway.
Microsoft was pushing Kinect; Sony had the Vita; EA showed off Battlefield 3 and Ubisoft had a guy who cracked a stunning number of bad jokes. And between "Fist Bump!" and "Good job, Jeremy," we already have two new memes. Not bad for the first day of E3 2011.
Here's a quick compilation of the good (and bad) of the first full day of E3, and my thoughts on some of the biggest announcements so far."
The Vita is a well-designed system, albeit one that Sony left for dead as soon as it hit its first bump in the road. If it weren't for a couple negative quirks, it might have even been one of the best handhelds ever made. Unfortunately, those quirks have turned into awful problems as of late, and have only served to tarnish the legacy of what has otherwise been an excellent cult system.
I like the Vita a lot. I actually blame Sony in putting less faith in it than it should
I'll always find it hilarious how even when Sony seemingly abandoned their second handheld, Vita still outsold Wii U which was heavily supported by Nintendo.
Never underestimate the power that third party support can do for a platform.
got the vita although it was dead on arrival. mobile gaming on dedicated machines is deadder than dead. oh wait, the switch is doing stellar, even rivaling the ps4, the xbox and the new xoxbox. ok, let's forget for one second about the absolute market dominator: when was the last time you saw someone playing his or her dedicated machine outside? I can't really remember. what I'm seeing everyday though is that everybody and their little daughter got smartphones when they are on their way to go somewhere.
Vita was and still amazing. Playing uncharted and gravity rush on it was simply epic. Such a shame Sony gave up on it
Are you a huge PS Vita fan? If the answer is yes, and you absolutely adore your Playstation Vita then this video is going to be tough for you. The VitaBoys count down the top 5 best PS Vita games that got cancelled.
The PlayStation Vita is such an underrated handheld device that it's almost sickening on how it just disappeared in the hands of gamers. And even though the Vita vanished off the face of the earth, this does not mean that a next gen Vita isn't welcomed. If another iteration of the PS Vita does come to be, than this could spell disaster for the Nintendo Switch.
i m calling it now...No Monster Hunter 5 No portable console for me .....if Vita 2 is to be released with games like 'portable"Uncharted&a mp;a mp;q uot; , portable "Horizon", portable Assasin Creed , is Hell NO ...portable consoles need proprietary games (ex Splatoon Monster Hunter, Gravity Rush ..games that can be played portbale) and not degraded versions of home console games (huge mistake from Sony to support Vita with Uncharted and Killzone (two mediocre appeal IPs that could only be enjoyed on pS3 because their graphical superiority) and most importantly Vita died because its main life source MHou series was stolen/went Nintendo exclusive ...
There is no PS Vita 2 lol so good luck with that. PS Vita had way worse games than the WiiU and was a disaster outside of Japan.
Switch has Dragon Quest XI
The next potential PlayStation handheld will not.
That alone spells which will be more successful
halo 4, ps vita
The bad: att
the ugly: gamers not hearing what they wanted to hear and ranting like crazy.
wheres the ugly
the good PSV + games great price BF3
the bad kinect games
the ugly is people saying PSV is over priced
The Good:PSV
The Bad:Not enough PSV.
The Ugly:The pants I had to change after PSV price announcement.
The good: playstation tv,
halo 4 and anniversary, ngp price, Dust, new 360 dash features, Uncharted 3 footage, Tomb Raider footage, NGP Ruin cloud, Ghost Recon + kinect features. NGP Price (it is that good)
The bad: Kinect ruining Ryse and Fable The Journey, useless Kinect Mass Effect integration. Kinect pretty much.
AT&T
You saw that guy in the trailer right? Did he look like he was having a good time? Did you want to be that guy? No and no.
Being a kinect game doesn't ruin it, being a kinect only game ruins it, esp since it had the potential to be epic. :(
The price is lower than I expected. The entry version is the same price as the 3DS.
Nintendo really needs to lower the price at the presence of a competitor handheld that renders the 3DS raw processing power a utter joke. With that said I love my 3DS and will love the PSV.
