Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

LOL at this Vita advertisement. Definitely gets the front and back touchpad feature across...

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

Vita is picking up! Street Fighter X Tekken is a quality game and Need for Speed is freaking amazing. AC: Liberation is somewhat of a letdown, though. I returned it based on reading people say there is frequent slowdown. I will wait for a big price drop.

Call of Duty is coming this month, Ragnarok looks interesing, and that Persona game is sure to be a good title, in fact, I believe it's a HD remake of a title which garnered much praise.

Thinking about buying it. Is it worth it? How would you rate it?

I rate it a 9. Handling is a little off, but for such a huge game to be on a handheld is amazing. Graphics are great and it's just plain fun.

Unfortunately the headlines will be Sony revising their sales estimates again from 12m to 10m (down from 16m in May) and the lowest sales week every in Japan as SFxT released and nobody (~5k) bought it.

The PSP is outselling the Vita in Japan nearly 3:1, the 3DS more than 10:1 last week:

Sony still won't report Vita sales, they lump them in with PSP sales. They sold 3m units (PSP+PSV) in the last 6 months, so are expecting to sell 7m between October and March.

I just don't see a reason for 3rd parties to support this handheld.

Always gotta be the Debby Downer of the Vita thread - we get it.

All I know is, the people who have the handheld are enjoying the hell out of it.


I'm one of them!

Eh, I could have been much more of a downer, but generally keep it mostly to the facts. The owners who post they're selling/losing faith are much more of a downer than anything I could say in this thread IMO. I'd like to own the Vita, just can't justify it at this price. I was going to pick up the Madden bundle before a trip in October but the cost of memory and stuff was enough to stop me. At this point will probably depend on what kind of price cut they go with next year - I'm not convinced just $50 will do it anymore, memory will need to be bundled, etc. Even then, could end up waiting until Madden 14 to see if it's just another roster update like FIFA.

If I rode the bus regularly or something I'd almost certainly own one, but when I have time for gaming I have access to my consoles and PC.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

I'm having an issue finishing games right now. Dang MLB 12 The Show and its cross-saves tends to be my most-played game. I've got a handful of games that I've started, but haven't finished: Uncharted, Gravity Rush and MGS: HD Collection. I've also got a few things I still need to unlock in Hot Shots Golf and have a career going in FIFA and Madden.

Then, there's the games I want to get:
Zero Escape
Silent Hill
AC: Liberation
Little Big Planet
Virtua Tennis
Lego Batman 2

Oh, and I've got The Warriros and MotorStorm RC downloaded on my Vita as well.

This is more than enough to keep me as a Vita-owner satisfied. Now, I've just got to find a system to actually finish these games.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

Picked NFSMW at retail this morning. The fact they got the whole open world on here is amazing. I could see my self playing this for a long time.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

I have been buying the physical games, now I have bought a few digital, I'm starting to only like the digital version of the games. I need to get my hands on the 32gb card now, as I only use the Vita for games and not anything else, so I should be good.

Hope to see some memory card deals on Black Friday.

I really like it! I'm not a huge arcade racing person, but it's fun to drive around an open world and kick up dust. I still haven't seen a full car list though. This game on a handheld is awesome.

But the Vita has no games! This is a great system, I already have too many games for it:

MLB The Show
Madden
FIFA
Little Big Planet
Metal Gear Solid
Silent Hill
Retro City Rampage
Lumines

Plus some PSP stuff. And I'll get COD later this month. I really hope they put an NBA 2K on it next year.

DJ what settings are you playing Madden on? i'm getting closer to settling on some myself.

Son of a ... Retro City Rampage! Add another one to the list.

I haven't played Madden in a week, so whatever I posted last in the Madden thread is what I'm using. Let me know what you've found, though, because I'm done with the 360 version, so the Vita is going to have to suffice for my NFL fix.

You will DEFINITELY wanna add NFS: Most Wanted to your list at some point as well, lol!

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

Retro City Rampage is my No. 1 to-get-game after I finish Rayman Origins. BC's write up a few pages back sold me but I too have been engrossed in MLB and now I have Rayman so...

I never use my Vita. Likely going to sell it
