Call of Duty Vita confirmed for Fall release.

Sadist said:
Nope. But they're both huge on consoles and at least one of them is huge on a handheld. Let's see if CoD can do the same on Vita.

Mario sells on handhelds because the games are not the same as on consoles, the experience is not determined by active user base (COD online is), and for a lot of kids handhelds are their only or primary platform (ds, 3ds). Very few will have Vita as their only platform, and the chances of COD Vita being different from console versions (in a good way) are very slim. COD Vita sales must rely completely on who are willing to buy the game twice just to play it on the go. As I said in another post, I don’t see it working even if they included a free download code with the PS3 version and added cross-play.. It’s just not what COD players want.

No they'll just have two control schemes like with every CCP enabled games. The only issue would be online where one would have a distinct advantage over the other.

Okay, I thought it was a typo at first, but now I see it’s not.

CCP = Classic Controller Pro

CPP = Circle Pad Pro
 
ScreenSplitter said:
Well Mario has been huge on handhelds a lot longer than CoD has. And that doesn't show any signs of slowing down, what with 3D Land selling so well (and that in itself being surprising as it was a 3D or psuedo-3D title)
Click to expand...
It is not surprising to me since every 3D Mario games have always sold well. This was also the first 3D Mario game for a handheld, so there was not much who spoke heavily against that it wouldnt sell. Well, you do have the Mario 64 port for the DS as well, but even that game sold well too :)

I prefer the 3D ones myself, but apparently NSMB Wii outsold both the Galaxies.
 
Needs to come out before the console version to have any impact, IMO.

Same time? Pointless, most people will just look at the console version. We shall see.

I think so, but there were more (bigger) differences than just the camera angle.

No, we have a thread about a confirmed COD on Vita, but instead it is becoming a thread about a mentally-confirmed-but-really-entirely-speculative 3DS version and how it will crush the Vita version. Does shitting on the Vita need to be a full time job? This is gamefaqs-level bullshit from a bunch of fanboys. God forbid people stop thinking of anything without Mario and Zelda on it as a threat to Mario and Zelda.

Honestly it's just such a pathetic set of priorities that it actually makes me angry.

Really ithe 3DS version may as well be confirmed, it's not like there's anything hinting otherwise. Practically all other Activison multiplats are on it and all CoD games got Ds ports. It'd be quite silly to even allude at the fact of it not getting it.

This is the kind of garbage posting I'm talking about. It's silly to even consider the possibility of there not being a 3DS port, when there isn't even the slightest hint of a rumor? And therefore a thread about an announced game should now be a thread about an unannounced game? So that you have the chance to bring up such gems as CPP being the superior control scheme?

Calm the fuck down.

Nobody's waxing lyrical about Mario or Zelda. We were merely speculating how the CoD on the Vita will sell, because in actuality, past attempts at a portable CoD have been shite, and this could well be different.

Nobody's shitting on the Vita, it's your own personal insecurity that when anybody dare mention anything else but the Vita you go into temper overload.

Because activision ports to everything and anything, it's like saying MW3 wouldn't get a DS port. And practically all activision multiplats have been ported there. It's like saying a CoD won't be released this year when their wasn't a rumour. There doesn't need to be a rumour on things so obvious.

You can be intentionally ignorant of the Vita trolling that has been going on for a while now if you want, but don't sit here and have the gall to tell me I'm insecure to think it exists when seemingly everyone but you and the trolls themselves point it out on a regular basis.

I'm just being brutally honest about how I see it. I'm entirely calm, but I know that telling someone to calm down is a pretty popular thing to use when wanting them to appear irrational.

The time of year means fuck all. If it's a straight up port, people will just buy it for PS3 instead.

You make it so much easier for all the trolls you implicate by acting so indignant whenever they make a slight slant at your machine of choice. They eat it up. Not everybody thinks CoD on the Vita will be magnificent. Learn to cope with this.

i get that, but again - it's an issue of perspective.
i like my 3DS, but im hoping the Vita does well and ill likely get one down the road. not heavily having a dog in the race means i can see what you're saying, and also see the harsh trolling said 3DS gets as well (not next gen/CPP LOLOLOL etc). likewise, the master race shit on here drove me nuts, then i joined them and it's all gravy.

if anything, it's a logical counterbalance, in a way: years back, you'd have half the threads on the front page be about GTA IV or MGS IV or the like, so the backlash was kinda expected. there's mad vita threads with the upcoming release (i love that street dates mean nothing though, haha), so i guess take it in stride? PSP got shat on all over the net for years, and it turned into the place for J/S-RPGs while people were running their mouths. so yeah, have a toke!

can the vita's sticks click in?
Click to expand...

this was asked earlier - and nah, also no L2/R2 but it was mentioned that the backpad can be split into 4 quadrants so that might work just fine.
 
Kyoufu said:
No.
Click to expand...

then it'd be pretty difficult to translate COD's controls to the vita when it's missing 4 buttons. I guess you could map grenades to the touch screen and sprint/knife to the back touch and it might be ok but I think that if there was cross platform play, console players would have the competitive advantage.

Yeah I was sorely disappointed to find out the sticks didn't click in. Stupid decision IMO.

But it's an announcement thread...for the game in question. I'm not a CoD fan, but there's a difference between skepticism and threadcrapping, and people kinda jumped the line a while ago.
 
lol at anyone thinking a 3DS version would be anything like the Vita version.

No Dual Anaolg out of the box
Online network is nowhere near PSN on Vita

Good luck with your FPS on DS goals for 2012 GAF. lol

Of course it will be out on 3DS. Now, the question is: do you want to play a port with gimped graphics? Up to you!

For sure, 2D Mario is, and maybe always will be, more popular than 3D Mario. But both things are very popular :)

3DS getting a Call of Duty game is as likely as Vita getting a Monster Hunter game. In other words, both things are likely to happen, but nothing have been confirmed.

From what I hear, the sticks aren't great in themselves anyway.

Where did you hear this? From the numerous doom and gloom Vita threads?

I guess you overlooked the tons of reviews of the hardware that complimented the sticks.

Typical poster spreading shit regarding the Vita.

I don't have a problem with the sticks. I like them actually. I just wished they clicked in.

Not sure where you heard that.

edit: NEWS FLASH guys every system in the world is getting a COD game, but not all of them will be faithful to what makes the franchise popular.
 
Mr Swine said:
Yeah it will sell good. People here forget that when GTA/GT was announced for the PSP everyone said that those 2 where saviors and that it would finally turn the tide for Sony, look what happened...

Yeah. You said out loud what I was thinking more or less. Selling well is a thing; driving hardware sales is something different.

You must have missed all the vita port begging in the RE revelations threads or the tangential mentions of vita in 3ds game threads. The poster who suggested a 3ds version of CoD being likely isn't wrong though - there are more reasons, in the form of prior handheld CoD games, to believe it will get one than it won't.

To the people complaining about speculation about what this game is going up against and whether its worth it given other variables - what did you expect? An anouncement which came in the form of a nonchalant response to a question, and then 30 pages of polite circle jerking excitement? That almost never happens on GAF. There are always reality checks, "Debbie downers" and skeptics. Get used to it. If you're excited, good for you!

To me I think that's because the US market isn't anything like the Japanese one (or European, to a lesser extent). In the US, games don't reaaaally sell systems that much, with some rare exceptions. In Japan, that is absolutely the case, using Monster Hunter and Mario games as examples. In Europe, I suppose FIFA is the equivalent, but only for the early versions on that particular console.
 
mxgt said:
Except the fact it hasn't been confirmed yet?

Really though, what does the 3DS have to do with this thread?
Click to expand...

That people would rather play COD on their HDTV if not the 3DS. :P

On a serious note, I do believe we'll see a COD game on 3DS too. The question is whether it'll be a spinoff or an actual port.

For Vita, it has a higher chance of being an actual port since we do have Sony championing the idea of crossplay, cloud saving, etc...
 
Kyoufu said:

Stupid decision means there was actually a decision to be made at all. Considering the size of the system and all the stuff they put in it, I'm guessing they would have had to make it thicker and bigger to have enough space for the sticks to travel when clicked, which would have made the Vita way too bulky. It's already big enough as it is.

Besides, the extra button functionality can be added as small icons on the touchscreen or use the back panel, like the grenade tossing in Uncharted GA.

I guess I should feel crippled playing with them when they've been described as some of the best controls ever. Especially the d-pad.

I've had one for 3 days now, the things feel enormously better and very comparable to a DS3's analogs.

Regarding th L2/L3 buttons, would running by swiping your left and right finger on the rear pad work? Kind of like Uncharted GA read climbing or however it works. I could see certain gestures with the back panel being very intuitive and non intrusive.

Why would anyone get either version when you can play a better version of the game on a console, with friends who have the console already.
