Conventional wisdom: Launch strong, show your best hand, win hearts and minds. Actual wisdom: Stagger your triple-A releases, because forklifting out everything you’ve got off the block and leaving a black hole of game-space between the launch window and holiday lineup is a surefire hardware sales-killer.
That’s the situation Sony’s Vita appears to be in at the moment, nearly two months on, after launching Feb. 22 in the U.S. with a reasonably strong assemblage of new and repackaged albeit popular fare.
While gamers usually take notice of the mainline missions, these 5 side quests deserve more widespread attention for how entertaining they are.
Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?
Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.
Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...
... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.
Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣
Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.
Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.
Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.
It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.
I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.
Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.
Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.
Uncover secrets, defeat challenging bosses, and upgrade your arsenal in these exciting Metroidvania titles on the PlayStation Vita.
I think it hasn't showed enough, after the initial game offerings they have slowed in releasing titles for the Vita. I hope they are not using e3 to catapult themselves into a fall release. vita needs more games now
Not at all. Vita should have a pretty killer E3 this year. Hell, Sony in general will.
Resistance and Gravity Rush the next two months has me more than satisfied.
Just give it some time. There's no rush. I love my Vita and use it almost every day, and when people ask me about it I simply tell them that it rocks.
It's going to take good word of mouth and a holiday season to really get it going. Right now people are paying their taxes in the U.S., so don't expect awesome sales just yet. $250 is a lot of money. Well, $350 really if you want 32GB of storage like I did.
The problem with the PSV is sony are pushing it in the wrong way and have not got the right type of games out for it.
Uncharted: Golden Abyss sales are poor and they are pore for 2 reasons. 1st of all it has no MP and it is also £35 here in the UK you can get Uncharted 3 for £29.99 here in the UK now.
Modnation Racers again could of been a killer game for the PSV but with no online MP The game has a limited play time.
This is part of the reason why the sales are not as good as we all expected.
The price of the device dose not help too but I expect Sony to address this come E3.
I think sony need to get some games like LBP, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro ect on there to get prople to pick them up for the kids and then give the core gamers games like GT, Resi, MGS ect as well as a mix of new IPs like Gravity Rush, Lumines, Little Deviants ect.
I think Sony have made a few mistakes with the PSV like Nintendo did with the 3DS but now 12 months in the 3DS price drop and big name games out it is selling very well and I think if Sony do the same it will all start to pickup for them too.
I really like my 3DS and PSV don't get me wrong they are both amazing consoles and I want them both to do well but sony need to get things sorted out quickly with the PSV before Nintendo's 3DS kills off the PSV before it even had chance to get going.
