Saving the Vita

We all know the PlayStation Vita has had it rough since its launch. The Vita released just about two years ago, but has much changed? Hoping to follow the foot steps of its successor the PlayStation Portable, it seems to be failing to do so. What is wrong with the Vita?

good article. hopefully 2014 brings a whole set of new games to the Vita. Needs it.

Joey_Leone4523d ago

I love the Vita (purchased 4 of them) and looking forward to future releases like minecraft and free games from PS+, but theres one issue i have with the vita, you cant put multiple accounts on one vita. Hopefully sony updates this.

nope1114522d ago

Yeah, my only problem i have with the Vita.
I want to make a JPN account to download PSO2.

guitarded774522d ago

How many Vitas can you have the same account linked to? Two?

I was thinking about buying a second... got a small scratch on my screen (which really doesn't hurt anything, it just bugs me knowing it's there, and I'm OCD like that), and would like one with unmolested buttons since I've played the hell out of the thing.

Vita does indeed need their own games instead of ports of games that have already came out.

I don't think PS4 being a selling point for Vita is a good idea. Basically it's a $200 accessory? Isn't that almost identical to nVidia Shield?

Once the 3DS came out with an XL version and had games it sold exceptionally well. 3DS proves that if you bring software people will buy it, also a reasonable price but Vita has that covered.

"Vita does indeed need their own games instead of ports of games that have already came out." perhaps the stupidest comment ive ever read

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory4522d ago

maybe because you can't comprehend it.

dcj05244522d ago

Pretty sure the vita has it's own games. Heard of Soul Sacrifice,Gravity Rush,Killzone:Mercanary, Tearaway,Ys:Memories of Cecleta,Uncharted:Golden Abyss, Toukiden,GOD EATER 2,Sword Art Online, and the endless unlocalised Japanese games? Probabillity points towards no. Call Of Duty:Ghost for PS3 is just a port from the 360. Does that devalue the game if its exactly the same on the ps3 but its a port from the 360? No.It's a multiplatform. Is Dragon Ball Z:Battle of The Z or Dragon's Crown devalued on the VITA because it's also on the PS3? No. Why? Because it's literally the same exact game. So its a Multiplatform.

rpd1234520d ago

You named some good games. They're fun, but there are too few of them. There were 2 AAA games that I can think of that came out in 2013 (Killzone and Tearaway). That's not enough. Mentioning Japanese games is pointless. I'm not Japanese, I don't read Japanese, I'm not going to import a game that I can't understand or enjoy because it's in Japanese.

Also there is a difference between a multiplatform and a port. When multiplatforms are made they keep every console in mind. Ports are bringing a game to a new console after the game has already been developed and released. Even so, multiplatforms on Vita are not the same quality as on PS3 or 360. It's not the exact same game. It's a watered down version.

Yodagamer4523d ago

I don't even think sony are trying at this point. They produce decent games like killzone and Tearaway that would sell systems yet they don't put that out there in ads. They seem to care more about porting games and the 2nd screen stuff than getting system selling games. PSP was awesome, but i think somewhere along the line sony failed the vita.

BrianWakefield4523d ago

You have a point. Now that the PS4 is out, Sony can focus more on Vita and tether the two together a little more. They are also waiting for Gaikai which should presumably help, but that is if the Vita doesn't fall of even more by then.

NYC_Gamer4523d ago

I don't expect Sony to be worried about PSV since they have to fully support their main piece of hardware PS4

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory4522d ago

they wont be pulling a lot profit then. Because the Vita is selling at a loss.

DanielGearSolid4523d ago

I wish Rockstar would make a Vita title, the PsP was good to them...

I say a Read Dead Redemption spinoff, follows John Marstons son

donwel4522d ago

This. I would sacrifice my left nut to play that.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle22d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7722d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
