For those awaiting the new PS Vita the news that it might not be doing as well as expected may not come as a shock. When the PSP and PS3 first came out the figures then show that they also had a slow start, so we thought it would be wise to look at a few views that may help us with a general perspective.
With its existence looking more and more likely, there are several points the Final Fantasy 9 remake should hit to ensure it was worth the wait.
Make it an actual remake of the game and not a reboot of the first hours of the game just to release the next hours some years later and nothing of it feels like FF9 actually aside from the same characters and locations used.
I just hope they don't divide into trilogy please...Full game from start to finish? Maybe in 2 parts maximum?
I thought FF8 was the superior game to get a remake treatment ? whoever that shareholder that forced SE to make FF9 Remake he must've spent a lot of budget backing this to happen , pretty strange shift from 7 to 9 but hey .. FF8 was a much deserving to be remade since the story needs expansion between Squall and Laguna and it left on a cliffhanger note
Avinash from Tech4Gamers writes "If Sony ever decides to re-enter the handheld market, it should stick with the original PSP design for the best results."
"The PSP’s simple yet intricate layout gave it a timeless structure, offering a unique but comfortable experience."
Yeah, no. There have been huge improvements in the ergonomics of handhelds in the past couple of years. The PSP, especially if we consider the 2000, 3000, and Street PSP models, had a flat back. Saying that this console was comfortable is definitely looking at the past with rose-tinted glasses.
"The analog stick aligns perfectly with the thumb."
It doesn't even have an analog stick; it has a slider.
This is a nostalgia-filled fluff piece that says nothing. If Sony wants to release a new device, they can't make the same mistakes they did with the PSP and the PS Vita. They have to look at what works now in the segment, consider what is available to people, and create something based on that.
Leave the original PSP design for a PSP Mini or something like that.
I always liked the vita's design. Just make the analogs clickable, add the triggers, get rid of the back touch, and you're good. The psp is great as well.
There are PC/Android handhelds that have mimicked the psp and vita designs.
Sucker Punch rejuvenated the superhero genre with Infamous, a series that focused on the pure fun of wielding destructive powers.
Atleast release a remaster trilogy or something to gage interest. I'd buy it. With that said I'm pretty over superheroes at this point. Infamous is still dope as fk though so it'd be a buy
I agree but games take 4-6 years to make so who knows when they would do it? After Ghost of Tsushima2? They could have something else in the world as well in early production who knows.
It's a shame Sucker Punch finally figured out a good open world formula only while making Ghost of Tsushima. Infamous 1 and 2 were great for their time, but Second son felt too much like a checklist in It's design. I love the hell out of all 3 games (2 and 3 are just so damn good, while 1 shows it's age and the ps3 struggles), but I would love to see how they would do another infamous with all they have learned. Wouldn't hurt to release a remastered collection either.
This series, days gone, will continue to get ignored by sony, luckily we still have the horizon series, sly cooper not getting pushed anymore, speaking of that I'm bout to get on my ps2 and play some sly 2 anyways lol, but seriously I never woulda thought back then sony would ever cold shoulder most of their franchises I'm actually surprised they're still letting ratchet&clank be around
How could its potential possibly be realized if it hasn't even launched worldwide yet? The PS3 has been around since 2006 and it STILL hasn't reached its potential. The article isn't bad. The inclusion of a 4GB card in every box is a good idea...but the title should be changed. It doesn't make any sense.
I agree with title, although the PS Vita is a little worrying for some people, first up is the price and Japan launch is nowhere near the access it should have been, second is the battery life, which is a joke.
*sighs*
What fresh hell is this? A recycled doom an gloom phase deserves a recycled meme.

Not bored of this yet....?
'Sites' without a Vita knocking out doom and gloom articles only to be defended by people, who again, don't have a Vita.
Why not at least wait until its launched first?
If enough US & European people start canceling pre-orders because it seems as though a price cut is coming it will help force a price cut. I was burned by the 3DS price cut and don't want to do that again. Seriously considering canceling on Amazon. The lower the launch sales the more likely a lower price or inclusion of the memory card.
