Level 3: PS Vita Hands On

Sony recently held a retailer night in Melbourne, allowing staff from various electronics franchises to get a hand on some of the games that are being released by Sony on Playstation 3 in the coming months.

Everyone was a little shocked however to find that one single PS Vita would also be on show.

Sony's Licensing Strategy May Be the Best Route to Reviving Some of PlayStation's Lost Classics

Sammy: "It’s sad that PlayStation has moved on from some of these iconic brands, but it would be worse watching them rot. At least with this licensing strategy, there’s a legitimate opportunity for more great franchises to get a second chance. And if they sell really well, there’s always the chance Sony may decide to bring them back."

Love this idea. Let other companies release reboots of these classics to a wider audience. Everyone wins.

It's what most IP holders do.

Remaster Puppeteer. It looked great on PS3 but it would be nice to have on PS5 with fast loading and some sort of 4k

They always shut down the servers on these games too early. Did it with Hot Shots Vita also :\

They should at least wait until a follow up, but maybe we're getting one soon. I love the series.

EvertonFC1171d ago

I don't think we're getting another one 😔 clap hanz golf is on apple arcade and no news or info on if there working on a playstation game ?

deleted1171d ago

Good point, I completely forgot reading about that! :\

I would imagine Sony still owns the Hotshots/Everybody's Golf franchise?

I also didn't realize how broken the MP was in this game, bc I only play online w family every now and then. (still to this day) Apparently the balance between microtransaction purchasers and standard players was way off, to where people who didn't buy in couldn't keep up competitively. That's a real shame bc the core gameplay of these games have been solid for a long time.

Never could get past all the characters cluttering the course.

EvertonFC1171d ago

I put thousands of hours into this game and when I did the PSN name change it voided my save progress and restarted me from the beginning.
Lost all my extra club sets and stats and purchases and just deleted the game after that.
Shame gem of a golf game, apparently they are not making anymore for playstation ?

Ozzy24071171d ago

Im still enjoying the PSVR version great game in VR

TiredGamer1171d ago

Seems too early to shut down. I played this game heavily the last two years with friends. Hopefully something new is around the corner.

10 Years Later — 'Uncharted: Golden Abyss' Deserved a Better Fortune

A relic of its time or a buried treasure from the past?

I was really hoping this would have made it into one of the collections. Like how they did with the GoW PSP games.

VenomUK1215d ago

I recall just playing the start on PS Vita but not much more and many Uncharted fans wouldn't have played it either so this 'unknown' chapter could be ripe for an expanded version for PS5.

TiredGamer1215d ago

Agreed here. Played it back on the Vita years ago, but never finished. The cramped Vita controls and the tiny analog sticks just didn't gel with me in a game where precise headshots are half the fun. It's the first Uncharted game that I haven't completed/Platinumed, and I think much of it is control related. Really wish it was PS TV compatible (natively).

I would definitely buy it if it were released as a PS4/PS5 version.

YoungKingDoran1214d ago

If you ever play it again on Vita definitely turn on the gyro aiming assist, made it alot more fun to play and i ended up getting all the headshot trophies thanks to this- super accurate

TheEnigma3131215d ago

I loved this game. It was like an extension of the first one. Why haven't we gotten an HD release yet?

TiredGamer1215d ago (Edited 1215d ago )

Lack of available dev resources and lack of a lucrative ROI probably. I think Sony has an opportunity to sell it as a separate, standalone HD remaster for like $20. Otherwise, the effort to convert a PS Vita game to the PS4/5 won't be worth their while. Unfortunate, but that's probably the only way it'd make financial sense.

deleted1215d ago (Edited 1215d ago )

Some of the puzzles/interactivity would have to be completely reworked. I remember having to hold the camera to a bright light. (I remember being annoyed at that part bc I was playing in bed late night while my wife was asleep next to me. Ran to the kitchen at like 3am just to get past it lol)

Also the swipe battles. I absolutely couldn't stand the final boss because the swiping felt so inaccurate and it would constantly misread gestures.

I adored the rest of the game though, and even the story! It couldn't simply just be rereleased, it needs reworking for consoles. (same reason it didn't get PS Vita TV support) The rubbing parts could still work w Dualsense/DS4 though.

I'd gladly welcome it and do hope it happens eventually!

Muigi1215d ago

Glad I still have my Oled Vita.

MadLad1215d ago

Sony should have tried harder to support the Vita. It ended up just a solid emulation machine that happens to have a handful of classics.

Bigman4k1215d ago (Edited 1215d ago )

Yeah Sony gave up on the ps vita way too fast

Bigman4k1215d ago (Edited 1215d ago )

I really like Uncharted:Golden Abyss on ps vita it would be dope if they remaster it for PlayStation 5
