Sony PSVITA Discussion

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

PS All Stars??? Come on man its a ripoff concept with 2nd and 3rd rate characters.

I really don't think anyone cares what it "rips off" or not. If I had a nickel for every time somebody used bullet-time effects like The Matrix in any film, show, or video game...

And characters? Yeah, last I checked, I don't even know who the **** King Dedede is, but I use him like there's no tomorrow.

This game can be played online, and from your very own Vita to boot! I'll be getting this game for sure, maybe for both systems.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

Yeah, they have 25 games. Most of them are crap that I am not interested in, however.

madden has gone from a must-buy to a maybe, probably not without cloud saves.

I'm not interested in playing a woman assassin in the revolutionary war, so AC is out.

I'll buy MGS Collection because I never played all the way through MGS 2/3 on PS2.

PS All Stars??? Come on man its a ripoff concept with 2nd and 3rd rate characters.

Soul Sacrifice, Jet Set Radio, Sound Shapes, Guacamelee - all good games i'm sure but not my cup of tea - i'm out.

No NBA 2K. No PES. No new GTA announced. No COD footage.

EPIC FAIL

I'll buy retro city rampage if it ever comes out.

This was your exact quote from the Nintendo thread:

Now all we worry about is things like "3rd party support", "launch window games", "whether it's going to be $400", etc. I'm not saying those things aren't valid concerns at times but now we have securities analysts for companies like Merrill Lynch for cripes sakes second guessing every move these companies make, and arm chair analysts chiming in too.

None of that stuff meant a hill of beans when you went over your friend's house and saw Super Mario 2, or Super Tecmo Bowl, or Skate or Die for the first time. I can just imagine the 35 year old me telling the 9 year old me, "dude, you don't want a Nintendo, they don't have any good 3rd party support!"

So basically, Nintendo showed the same old rehashed first party titles they always have, but the Vita shows 25 3rd party games, and it's crap. Based on your post telling everyone "price doesn't matter, just have fun!", your entire post in this thread contradicts all of that... and I'm not saying you are, but it sure makes you come across like a huge Nintendo homer.

Calling Battle Royale a ripoff isn't helping your cause any either.

Should none of us play a first person shooter since they're all ripped off from the original Wolfenstein? Should I not enjoy Rayman, Castlevania, or any of the million App Store side scrollers on iphone, because they're all ripoffs of Mario? Is Watch Dogs going to be a ****ty game, because it's an open-world ripoff of Gran Turismo? Sonic All-Star Racing, Modnation Racers, Little Big Planet Karting... Mario Kart ripoffs... so I can't enjoy those either?

I get that the Vita lineup may not be your "cup of tea", but I can just as easily tell you the same exact thing you told everyone in the Nintendo thread; stop being so picky and just buy the games, and the system, regardless of price, and have fun like you used to when you were a kid.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

I hear ya. I'm only saying what my motivations are. I don't think anyone should "stop being picky" and I didn't mean to give that vibe off.

I play the Nintendo stuff with my son because it's fun. I'm not impressed with the Vita lineup and I feel like it has a lot of potential that it looks like is going to go unrealized.

Enjoy whatever you want man I'm just sharing my opinion! And I'm in no way a nintendo homer. I buy everything, and complain about most of it.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

Nathan Drake disagrees with the notion of him being a 2nd-3rd rate character.

So you guys are saying that Sony didn't even show this during its E3 conference? Wonderbrook really took up THAT much time? I know they have to justify the sum of money they paid Rowling, but man, you'd think carving out 3 minutes for something to this effect could've been done for the Vita.

I saw a lot of games in that trailer that pique my interest.

Next week is going to be an expensive one with Gravity Rush and the Metal Gear Solid Collection.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

Lol, I can't believe they didn't show that during the conference... Fail Sony.

But, but.......WONDERBOOK!!!!

I think I'm about sold on Gravity Rush, and Zen 2 is a must buy for me as well (though for which system is a bit up in the air, as the tables will be cross compatible but I don't think Zen has said you get both PS3 and Vita games for one price yet).

This is how I'm feeling. The sports game lineup is lacking for my taste, and the non sports lineup I'm just not feeling. Still can't get over no PES, NCAA, or NHL.

Are you anti-FIFA? FIFA 13 is due out same time as the console versions. I'm enjoying FIFA Soccer right now and plan on getting 13.

I was hoping NHL would make its way over, but then again, EA only put out 1 game for the PSP. I'd actually go for an NHL Hitz-style game for the Vita.

NCAA, I had a feeling wouldn't be on the Vita, and probably not until 2014. The ones on the PSP weren't very good (especially the last 2), and while I think the games could be better on the Vita, they'd still have to sacrifice a lot (stadiums, framerate to name a few) to get the game on the system, and EA may not be willing to do that.

[BobbyColtrane]

I read on a blog today that word from the E3 floor is that madden vita is garbage, basically ipad madden with buttons. I hope thats not true but im not encouraged. Not a good look.

All they had to do is show this 3 minute video at the presser and it would of made many happy.

Not anti-Fifa. I played the demo of Fifa 12 on my vita and it's just like the console version. It's a great game. I didn't need two versions of it without cross-play capability.

I was just hoping there would be more sports games than Fifa and what looks like a watered down Madden being released in fall 2012.

Link?

I've put feelers out to Steve and Dustin on Twitter to get us Vita impressions on Madden and Vita if they get the chance to see the games.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

Seeing Nintendo devote an hour long presser JUST to 3DS games makes me really depressed about the Vita, lol.
