Seems Sony still support the Vita.... lol

InKnight7s2460d ago

Isn't it the most ironic thibg in gaming industry?

IamTylerDurden12460d ago (Edited 2460d ago )

Why ironic? It's an 8 year old system that never really sold well, obviously it won't be heavily supported by Sony, but it's still a part of the PlayStation ecosystem and games still release for it. If some well known person is advertising how they are hacking it i'd expect them to shut that down. Not ironic at all.

mikeslemonade2460d ago

Why would you want to play vita right now. I don’t even want to play switch on handheld mode.

Knushwood Butt2460d ago

I'm playing Catherine on Vita.

Inzo2460d ago

Although they stopped production I dont think they will stop supporting it any time soon.

Eidolon2459d ago (Edited 2459d ago )

These updates aren't really support... not for users anyway.
Can't remember an update that was a new feature, or fixing a bug non-related to hacks.

Imortus_san2460d ago

Keep dreaming, they killed the ps vita when they launched the PS4, and that a fact.

bluebenjamin2460d ago

Yep very true I was pissed 😤 I had the OLED Vita 32 gb memory stick Killzone Mercenaries Ninja Gaiden 2 were the main games I played besides psp fight night round 3.I remember soon as ps4 came about the vita commercials slowed down than we started getting cell phone quality games and that was it. The Vita reminds me of Dreamcast a little because its impressive tech that didn’t get a chance to show itself

IamTylerDurden12460d ago (Edited 2460d ago )

The PS4 launch helped the Vita in a sense because it offered widespread remote play and the Vita was almost positioned as a PS4 companion. Vita just didn't sell and PS4 did, so obviously PS4 got the attention.

Obviously Sony focused marketing and development towards the PS4 upon its release, PS4 was brand new and it was their main console as well as massively popular. However, there were still excellent games that released around or after the launch of the PS4.

Tearaway -2014
Freedom Wars - 2014
SEVERED - 2015
World of Final Fantasy - 2016
Final Fantasy X/X2 HD
Toukidan Kiwami - 2014
Oreshika - 2014
Odin Sphere - 2016
God Eater 2
Resident Evil Revelations 2 - 2015
Dragon Quest Builders - 2016
Helldivers
Resogun
Darkest Dungeon
Shovel Knight

Those are just off of memory i'm sure there are more quality/and/or big games that released after PS4.

You say you only really played Killzone Mercenary and Ninja Gaiden on Vita prior to the PS4 releasing, but KZ Mercenary literally came out 1 month before PS4. Did you buy KZ Mercenary on day 1 and play it like crazy for a month? C'mon man. The game came out right around the launch of the PS4.

bluebenjamin2460d ago

@Durden that list sucks for a Playstation and you know it You just tryna bail the ps4 out Vita was new too!

smashman982460d ago

Homebrew can often keep a console alive well after its prime. Sony stopped making games for this thing forever ago and it's essentially a dead console in terms of any major titles. So it's strange to see Sony being so aggressively anti- cfw

SlagWolf2460d ago

My first thought as well. I can’t renember the last time I saw any news about the Vita and I liked the system.

SheenuTheLegend2460d ago

This turned to be a fake. how can i report.

CanadianTurtle2459d ago (Edited 2459d ago )

Yeah right.... this is not what I call "support." Support would be continuously releasing great games over the years and not abandoning Vita owners. The 3DS also had a rough first couple years but Nintendo didn't give up and call it a "legacy system"

Next gen they should make another handheld to go along with the PS5.

kayoss2460d ago

They screwed up the PSvita in regards to the PS4 remote play function. The PSVita button layout makes it very difficult or even impossible to play PS4 games. When they advertised the PSVita, that was one of their main selling point. Ps4 connections is mediocre at best. Some days it will connect with issues, some days it cant even connect at all.
If they do make one to accompany the PS5, i hope they design it a lot better.

SonyStyled2460d ago

They advertised cross buy and cross save with the PS3/4. They later advertised vita as a PS4 STREAMER once Sony backed away from AAA Vita development. But if your having trouble using your vita for remote play, try using a ps vita tv to stream and use your duelshock 4. They are like $20 or less

Sgt_Slaughter2460d ago (Edited 2460d ago )

@SonyStyled PlayStation TV's have gone up in price due to not being available in stores anymore. Cheapest on eBay is $45 with days left to bid on it, the rest are anywhere between $70 to $140+ and they still have days left.

Chocoburger2460d ago (Edited 2460d ago )

@SonyStyled PS TVs are not $20 or less anymore, they have skyrocketed up in price. Used, dirty PS TVs with no controller are $100+, and brand new they are $250+ these days. :x

Edit: Sgt_Slaughter beat me by 4 minutes. :P

CanadianTurtle2459d ago

Why the fuck would anyone trust Sony with another handheld, especially after they treated Vita owners like shit?

FlyingFoxy2460d ago

They supported it with some nice games at first but that was it, i wonder why they stopped? Golden Abyss was a fine example.

NO, that can't be... No! I can't... Really?/s

Cacabunga24d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot22d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose24d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE24d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername23d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy24d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde23d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8623d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8623d ago (Edited 23d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300024d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

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.

solideagle23d 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

Relientk7723d ago

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