PSVita thread 2.

[Ghost]

I don't think its fair to say that Sony hasn't supported the vita, it has released a lot of games with better support than the PSP. The biggest problem I think the vita has is exactly the same problem that the PSP faced, Sony insists on releasing scaled down versions of their PS3 games, Uncharted, Killzone, Little Big Planet, Modnation Racers, Wipeout etc. All games you can find better versions of on the PS3. It didn't help the PSP and its not helping the Vita. If you look at the Nintendo DS the games that really made that system successful were games that you couldn't play anywhere else, Nintendogs, Pokemon and Brain Age were the ones that sold the DS and there were no console versions of those games. Sony needs to concentrate on making some franchises that are exclusive and ONLY possible on Vita if it wants it to succeed.

PSP had some amazing support, far greater than the Vita has. It had Monster Hunter for starters. That's guaranteed sales in the millions. Two of the best Ridge Racer games in recent times are on it. There's stuff like DariusBurst. It's got two Tekken games, two Ace Combat games, five Final Fantasy games, the entire Metal Slug range is on it amongst hundreds of other games.

The only game that PSP is missing is Biohazard. There are absolutely loads of good PSP games, people just choose to forget they exist.

DS took advantage of its touch screen primary function, that's only why it was such a hit.

Vita faces a different problem to PSP. Vita needs games. More games, more often. That's pretty much all it needs.

April brings the second SRW game for the Vita. Obviously someone at BNGI likes the hardware, or the fact that it's basically a handheld PS3. When I can, I'll getting a second console purely for Dai-3-ji Super Robot Taisen Z - Jigoku-hen, although it's download only on the Vita and I'm not too sure how I feel about that much money going on a download.

I am so hyped for Danganronpa it's unreal. Toukiden next month too, which might be decent?

[J0e Musashi]

Toukiden is alright. It's like a Monster Hunter Lite. Based on the Japanese demo, I'd probably get it, but you really want an English version. I'm deffo getting Danganronpa too.

[chopemon]

I'm on the Danganronpa hype train too. Glad to hear Toukiden is alright.

I hope that God Eater 2 gets localised. I've been watching Japanese gameplay vids and it looks great. Also like the look of Freedom Wars.

[wakka]

I'm also boarding the Danganronpa hype train, it looks cool. Probably going to skip Toukiden though.

Are people getting their next Miku fix on PSV or PS3? I think I'm going to go PS3 with this one so I can have her prance around in 3D. It would be good if there was a double pack with cross-save really.

[kryss]

The PS3 one sold out here pretty quick from my usual places and they've never had more stock. I was tempted but decided against it.

[Neon Ignition]

Depending on how I feel I might go for Vita Project Dive F2, I didn't think it worked as well on PS3 as it did on Vita so not bothered.

It won't get them either. Remote play will kill the need for PS3 ports. I can't help but feel the Vita has a limited time left.
Unless there is something coming I don't know about?

Maybe they are hoping that playstation now will turn it around? On the other hand I feel like better analogs and a L2/R2 button would do that.

Maybe thats a conversation for the Vita2.

I am playing games on nothing but my Vita at the moment...ignoring the PS4 in the corner!

Am also in the Dangan Ronpa hype club. Plus have Puyo Puyo vs Tetris preordered....

Plus have Puyo Puyo vs Tetris preordered....

Say what now.

I had no idea and now I'm massively excited by this.

[BaronSqwelch]

Dunno about a western release but its out in Japan in Feb.

Found it accidentally on Nin Nins site after searching for puzzle games.

[Jay]

About to pre-order, just need to choose PS3 or Vita. Hmmmmm ...

Ah actually. Will I be able to play either version online? Assuming there will be online modes. Or will running a Jp version in the UK cause problems?
