PS Vita Post Launch Line Up Is Very Impressive

After new systems launch, there is usually a giant lull between the launch games and any games worth your time. Well, that is the complete opposite for the Playstation Vita. Here are the games you can expect to play within the next 3 months.

Unit 13 was my post-launch surprise. The controls are much tighter than Uncharted and it looks to have a lot of good content (daily challenges, 30+ missions, co-op, etc.).

On the other hand, Gravity Rush blew me away. After playing the demo, the music, art style, and storytelling were fantastic.

And lets not forget Resistance! Jesus, my PS3 might start to get dusty.

TrendyGamers4433d ago

I wasn't able to pick up the Unit 13 demo before it got pulled from the PS Store but I'm glad to hear its good!

I'm excited for the majority of games on the list but if I had to choose one, it would be Resistance: Burning Skies. I can't wait to jump back into the Reistance universe and see what they do with the Vita.

Colwyn4433d ago

the beauty about the ps vita is that it launched with quality titles in abundance. i cant wait to see the titles that are going to be announced and shown off at e3 2012. the ps vita is the best handheld console ever.

farhad2k84432d ago

Great line up coming up.
Sadly, they missed out Mortal Kombat, SF X Tekken and some others!

Faunus4433d ago

In the article it states that Motorstorm RC will be released on march the 6th, but this is a launchtitle and already released.

TrendyGamers4433d ago

Only in the UK. It isn't out in North America until the 6th.

GillHarrison4433d ago

Gravity Rush (Daze) should have been a North American launch title. It would be nice to come out of the gate with such a killer app.

Faunus4433d ago

@ Trendygamers

It's also released in other countries in Europe, such as The Netherslands, Belgium, Germany. And so on.

TrendyGamers4433d ago (Edited 4433d ago )

Sorry, I meant Europe. And I can't wait for Motorstorm, it looks fun.

Aggesan4433d ago

Gravity Rush isn't released here in Europe either.

Half-Mafia4433d ago

ATM I have

Uncharted
Rayman
Wipeout
Escape Plan

I plan to get these games when released

Unit 13
LBP
Killzone
Resistance: Burning Skies
Gravity Rush
Malicious
Zone of the Enders HD
Sound Shapes
Assassins Creed
Fifa 13 (Ive played the demo of the launch title but Fifa 13 is only 6-7 months away. With that extra development time EA will get more out of the Vita + some Cross-play features)

So in the Vitas first year im going to have atleast 14 games. That is unheard of, for a first year for any system.

TrendyGamers4433d ago

Has a Killzone game been announced for the Vita yet?

KwietStorm_BLM4433d ago

Yes, I think there was a screenshot back when the Vita was announced.

Ascalon944432d ago

yeah during one of the first montage trailers they showed a few seconds of Killzone gameplay.

Forget Gravity Rush movie, give us another GR game!

porkChop98d ago

I didn't even know a movie was coming. If they can get the visuals and everything right I'll watch it.

Barlos98d ago

I didn't either, until this article. I'm also surprised, since GR was a commercial flop. Seems weird that they'd want to invest money into making it into a film.

I think the games are great though, especially on Vita. I think the move to PS4 killed the experience a little, but I'd still like to see a new one.

1Victor97d ago

I didn’t know it was in development ether but it makes sense after they saw the first doctor strange movie and the far from home fight, if it’s like that’s it’s going to be one of those Oscar nominees

Cacabunga97d ago

GR movie and shutting Japan Studio.. so stupid

porkChop97d ago

@Cacabunga

Oh yeah... Well there goes any hope for a new game. Shuttering Japan Studio was a really bad decision.

purple10198d ago

Surely you’d think if the movie is coming so is another game

And I couldn’t be happier.

Only played the demo of gr2 but let me say it’s one of the most artistic and inventive new games. Ps5 will power gr3 to new heights
Fingers crossed

Made my day hearing this.

Finally, something innovative

Redemption-6498d ago

GR2 flopped, which would they make a new game? A movie has more appeal and a successful hit at the bix office, could lead to a new game for the franchise

ChasterMies98d ago

Ok, I’ll stop sitting on Gravity Rush 2. It’s been in my library for only 8 years.

Chocoburger98d ago

Play Gravity Rush Remastered first if you haven't already, the stories are linked together. GR 2 is a fantastic game, it has a lot of stuff to see and do. In fact I have purposefully not completed the game 100% because I simply didn't want the game to end. I still have some trophies to collect, and a whole free story DLC chapter to play through.

Gravity Rush 3 would be amazing! But the team that made parts 1 and 2 were shut down, so I don't expect it to happen. This was Jim Ryan's biggest sin of all, shutting down PlayStation Japan Studios. What a shame.

FinalFantasyFanatic98d ago

Why not both? I really like the games and was disappointed we didn't get a third game to finish off the story, but I wouldn't mind a movie either if it's well done. Maybe it'll drum up enough interest to get us that third game.

gold_drake98d ago

damn that is aaalot of ppl

id rather have another Gravity Rush game than a movie tbh

DarXyde98d ago

Same. This series really resonates with my gaming spirit. I love these games so much that I got four platinums out of two games. I was always dreading that we would never get another game after Japan Studio's closure, but I'm feeling hopeful in them not giving up on the franchise with this move. My guess is that they're going to use this as a funding point

MrNinosan98d ago

That is the same amount as daily loading screens... never mind

‘Gravity Rush’ Film Based On PlayStation Game In Works From PlayStation Productions

PlayStation Productions and Scott Free Productions have launched development on Gravity Rush—a film based on the 2012 action-adventure video game of the same name.

CrimsonWing69603d ago

hmmm... I mean if it's anime it could work. I have a hard time envisioning it in live-action.

isarai602d ago

Why are they making shows/films based on IPs they abandoned? First Days Gone now this, why?

DarXyde602d ago

Yep, agreed.

Like I often say, every 2-3 months, I'm bitching about what Sony did to Japan Studio and Gravity Rush.

This is annoying, honestly.

LoveSpuds602d ago

I loved both Gravity Rush games but I honestly don't see how you can blame Sony for leaving the franchise alone after the second game. It was good business sense, sadly the games simply didn't sell well enough to warrant the risk of developing a 3rd game.

DarXyde602d ago

LoveSpuds,

To me, my gripes are with the way Sony is handling shelved IPs versus best sellers. Sure, Gravity Rush is super niche. But the problem I have is that those games are punished for not selling well. Compare that with high profile IPs that sell a lot. They get PC versions to reach a wider audience. I guess what I want to say is that those games were already commercial successes and it seems a little backwards to not make an effort to expand access to those niche titles to PC if we're already going there, y'know? Games like Horizon and Spiderman did damn well on PS4. Certainly. But I also think the PC audience is incredibly diverse and games like Gravity Rush would perform much better on PC. It's just disappointing to see them give up on games that didn't do well on their original platforms and disband the studios, but make PC versions of system sellers.

I don't know. I just feel that, if Sony is going to put their games on PC, why not give gems like Gravity Rush a chance at a second life and keep the studio around? Their games aren't really what I would call big budget, so what harm does it do to allow them to remain?

Eonjay602d ago

@DarXyde I could actually see that happening. In fact the faster Sony could convert more games to PC the better for their bottom line. But, logictially, since they are primarily using an inhouse specialist to ensure QOL in their PC ports there is only so much content they can put out at once and this is going to cause them to prioritize their bigger releases. I want to see them expand the Nixxes team so that they can work on more projects at once. Right now we know of 5 games in the PC port pipeline. So there is going to be a bit of lag getting them out. And clearly, Sony don't want to burden its other console studios with handeling PC ports. And in some cases, like with Gravity Rush, the studio doesn't even exist anymore.

The_Hooligan602d ago

I am hoping that the movies do well so that Sony might greenlight a sequel game for both of them. In my opinion both gravity rush games are great and only thing that held back Days Gone was the slow pace in the beginning but afterwards the world opens up and it's a great game and both these IPs deserve a sequel.

jznrpg602d ago (Edited 602d ago )

Spot on. The first 5-10 hours is a bit slow weapon & skill wise and the bike died fast and was slowish especially if you didn’t know where to get gas . After 10 hours or so you start getting upgrades and cool weapons and your bike can travel farther/faster it was an awesome game. I think most reviewers didn’t get past the 8-10 hour mark and reviewed it off of that plus there were some bugs At launch but they fixed most of it fairly quickly

Inverno602d ago

The same reason why they keep making all those awful Marvel movies. Capitalize on the demand for more of these games, make some low effort/low budget movie, waste most of the money on advertising, profit. I worry for how the GOW, and SoTC movies will end up.

jznrpg602d ago

Maybe they get more interest in the games through movies and we get sequels . If it works out that way I don’t care how many movies they make

EvertonFC602d ago (Edited 602d ago )

Days gone could work well as a series imo but I get what you mean.
Hopefully days gone is a massive success to green light another game.
I think it's great all this gaming into movies or TV series tbh and think they should have done it long ago ie heavy rain would work well, ratchet TV series or Bloodborne TV series etc.
Having said that it's important to remember some will turn out better than others and some might be just crap.

Wow they really going ham on these films

-Foxtrot602d ago

Sony are going crazy at the moment with adaptations and I really think they need to slow down and make sure the first project or two they already have in production is good before they start churning these out

Sony Pictures is not like Sonys Gaming Division, they are idiots, they couldn't even get Spiderman right without backing off the MCU and now you have Spiderman-less spin offs, Venom was meh, Morbius was awful and we have Madame Web, Kraven, Silk and more coming out.

Sciurus_vulgaris602d ago

The films based on the Spider-Man-rouges are likely pumped out so Sony Pictures can maintain its Spider-Man film license. I’m surprised Sony didn’t just sign a production deal with Marvel Pictures. Sony could have produced Spider-Man and other associated films for Marvel as part of the MCU. While Marvel Pictures handled the story and overall narrative direction.

CaptainHenry916602d ago (Edited 602d ago )

Madame web? That would be ridiculous and comical if they release that

GoodGuy09602d ago (Edited 602d ago )

Oof... should just be an anime. Live action ain't everything.
