Wow is the PSVita dead? I haven't been on this site in a month and there was no updates to board.
Well, the 3DS thread isn't even on the front page anymore, so this doesn't really mean that much. The Vita actually has had several titles released recently, with several more due before years end.
Ragnorak Odyessy
Assassin's Creed Liberation
Retro City Rampage
Virtues Last Reward
Street Fighter X Tekken
Dokuro
Little Big Planet
Coming Soon:
Persona 4 Golden
Playstation All Stars
Sonic All Star Racing
Call Of Duty Blacc Ops
I'm playing mine as much as my 3DS and Pandora currently. After this year, it's not looking to good though. I was really expecting more, but Sony doesn't seem all to interested in fighting the good fight.
Sales are below average, and Sony has come out and stated that 3rd party support is all but gone. As no one wants to develope games for such a small user base, and Sony just doesn't seem to care. It's the PSP all over again. This device isn't being prated and it's still failing due to no support from Sony(this is what happened to the PSP).
The PSP didn't fail due to piracy(at least in my eyes), that was just a proper excuse to use at the time. The DS had just as much if not more piracy, and they sold plenty of units. All of Sony's biggest franchises on the Vita have been poor games due to sorry developers.
I understand how a "Naugty Dog" can't spend time developing a handheld title when they are selling millions on the PS3 games, but there are many great 3rd parties looking to make a mark and they keep using Nihilistic to do their biggest franchises, WTF? Is this the only developement they can afford? I mean Uncharted:GA no ill wills, as I thought that was a great game, but every other console game has been garbage(except LBP).
So it's pretty hard to win a war, when you don't even show up to the battles. I own as many games for my Vita currently as I do for my 3DS, and they have some really quality titles, but where the 3DS appears to be on fire, the Vita is cooling off with no hope for a bright future. If it does die a slow death, that just means it's more likely to get hacked at some point, and then it will be a handheld emulation DREAM, so all is not lost!
