Playstation Blog: On behalf of the entire team at Zipper Interactive, I am proud to announce a new shooter, Unit 13, designed from the ground up for the new PlayStation Vita. It’s been very exciting developing a game for the first portable console with precision dual analog sticks, the perfect platform for a fast action, hard-hitting, third-person shooter like Unit 13. In addition, Vita’s front and back touch interface provided a unique and fun way to interact quickly with in-the-world elements of the game.
Kevin Webb: "While one of Sony's main goals with the Vita was to produce experiences that felt like playing on a home console, the Vita produced a number of unique games that were later brought over to more powerful hardware. And as the Vita got older, independent developers began to take advantage of the console's strong hardware and dedicated player base. For example, PC games like "Stardew Valley" or "Minecraft" that had earned an indie following could be moved to the Vita at low cost, letting players take their favorite games on the go.
The PlayStation Vita may not have been a smash hit, but there were plenty of gems to be found on the handheld if you spent enough time looking."
Frobisher Says was one of the best games on the Vita. There was just nothing like it. It's such a shame that Sony didn't see fit to invest in the Vita long term.
Agreed. Admittedly I brought the console only to travel with (a 41yo gamer here) finished killzone liberation and just started Uncharted odesey and Resistance games. I really only got it to play the games that just never came to ps3/4and surf the net. Its a handy console and it's a shame if has come to an end especially with no replacement in sight just yet!
Yeah, I loved the Killzone Liberation. Although I have to say that since Sony have dedicated their focus only on the PS4 it has gone from strength to strength. I hope they keep supporting VR though - that might be a game changer for them next gen if they do.
Some excellent choices there. I spent so many hours on Soul Sacrifice and Persona 4
As much as I love the Uncharted series I couldn't come to terms with Golden Abyss. It felt like a few steps back in the series
Danganronpa, Stien Gate, and especially Persona 4 are some of the best titles that available on the Vita.
I will miss this console.
No Freedom Wars or Killzone Mercenary?
Both deserve remakes. Mercenary is cannon and Freedom Wars is just one of those ultra rare JRPG games I found fun and think could appeal to a wider audience.
I'm beginning to figure out why SOCOM 4 was so bad, which pains me to say since I'm a long time SOCOM fan. Hopefully the team can focus more now on improving and/or creating another game.
On topic though Co-Op, long campaign (from how it sounds) & a pretty deep online mode gets me excited. Also, TPS which is a nice switch from all the FPS I've been playing
Looking forward to seeing gameplay
Also, once Call of Duty comes out for Vita the thing will sell a TON. It'll be interesting to see if the frankenstick comes to the 3DS in NA, or what type of COD the 3DS could even handle...
No multiplayer, only coop from what I can tell =\ Will fifa 12 vita have MP, anyone know?
I'm really impressed! the Vita is a really big elephant in the Portable gaming market!!! we will see what this one is about!
But the engine largely resembles socom 4's Engine assest! I'm sure they did some engineering to factor in Near and Live area for the Vita, it just really looks like Socom 4 from it's screen shots! which isn't bad! Socom 4's Graphocs are on par with MW3, maybe not that good looking but still great to the eye!
More new IPs are never a bad thing. PS Vita has so many interesting titles already for it's launch year
