bwahahaha.

 

[EvB]

The White Vita they showed is actually a ghost of a Vita.

 

[slaughterking]

No.

Obscure Japanese ghetto here we go.

I wish. I was always hoping the Vita would pick up where the PSP left off, but seeing how absolutely atrocious the Japanese sales for that thing are I don't see that happening.

 

[yencid]

My big question is, where the fuck were all the games from last year?


Killzone and Ruin specifically come to mind.

 

[Speevy]

OH GOD PLEASE DON'T SPEND TIME ON VITA!

WHERE WAS THE VITA

 

[WickedLaharl]

Really unfortunate that sony gave the system a vote of no confidence today. It really sucks because the vita has everything I want in a handheld.

 

[Community Forum]

oh shit

 

[gibration]

Very disappointed with the lack of Vita games. sigh.

 

[rouken]

oh wow. lol

 

[Synth_floyd]

Vita is essentially dead now. Sony just put millions of dollars into another huge money sink.

 

[Dog Problems]

The White Vita they showed is actually a ghost of a Vita.

Haha, that actually made me laugh out loud.

 

[magicaltrevor]

I still have high hopes for the kind of apps/games we'll see when PlayStation Suite (now PlayStation Mobile) is available, though that would require them to update the Vita properly (push notifications for all apps and games, a better store, an update to the 'Near' app to actually make it compelling and fun to use, etc).

We'll see. I'm sure there are more things to come, but from where I'm standing - as a customer and as a 'hardcore' gamer - there's just not much to be looking forward to right now. And that's a bad thing for a €299 device (3G model).

On the other hand, they probably just need more time. And it's hard getting third parties on board when the sales are not going very well. I get that. But what worries me the most, is that they're not even trying to make people feel that "it's going to be alright". I'm afraid that, when the big titles finally drop, it might be too late.

 

[Bento]

The problem with waiting for TGS to 'save' Vita is that anything announced there - if it even gets localized - isn't going to hit the West until Mid-2013 at the earliest. Vita needs hype for titles now that will hit in the next 4-5 months for the holiday season.

This is also assumes that the japanese titles announced at TGS will be relevant to anyone outside the regular clique of obscure loving JRPGers Not sure if Square are willing to bet a Final Fantasy on such a poorly performing platform :S

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Sony just cant let the Vita die.It just cant.

 

[WillyFive]

Well, an inverted photo of the black Vita overlayed over the Assassin's Creed video.

Brilliant.

 

[Shinriji]

Wha... whe... how!? link link link

In the post-show Sony is doing, there was a section that a guy was introducing the Sony booth at E3. There was a part that was a Vita booth, just after they show Sine Mora and there was the japanese Miku logo in the background.

Someone must have the screencap.

 

[Kiyo]

God, PSV was left to rot. Not even a mention of P4Golden, Soul Sacrifice, Hatsune Miku(ha ha), DJ MAX, nothing.

You guys realize theres still 3 days of E3 left yea? They can't put everything in their press conference.

 

[djSyndrome]

Came out in 2011 in Japan. Death date is legit tho.

 

[HamPster PamPster]

At least that made up my mind. ipad 3 it is. It's going to be funny showing this Vita to people in 10 years. "Holy shit, you bought one of those!?"

I'll lie and say I got it used at $99

My kids will never know I bought one at launch, they shouldn't have to carry that embarrassment

 

[Oppo]

My big question is, where the fuck were all the games from last year?

KZ, Ruin and the Bioshock game. WHERE.

 

[kodt]

Shocked at how little Sony showed for Vita. Not ONE new title? This is just pathetic.

I will keep the system, and enjoy it while it lasts. But I have no illusions that this system will take off and get a huge library of quality games. It will have a decent selection of ports and a unique game here and there.

Might have to f*cking buy an iPad for good mobile games.

 

[Broadbandito]

I asked my friend this after the conference was over

 

[Endo Punk]

So AC Liberation, Vita COD, PS1 support and new apps announced at the event means it doesn't exist. This blind Vita hate is pathetic and I don't even care for handheld gaming.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

That's what was said about E3. It's over in the West, the Vita is dead here, and Sony doesn't seem to care.

Yeah, kept hearing about how E3 was make or break for Vita and now some people are changing gears to TGS. TGS won't be that different, I'd expect.

 

[cj_iwakura]

You guys realize theres still 3 days of E3 left yea? They can't put everything in their press conference.

The conference sets the tone. They spent damn near half an hour on a kids game and nothing on their $250 handheld which is on life support.

Priorities.

 

[dallow_bg]

They can put more than 1 first party game for their struggling handheld in the biggest spotlight of the year I think.

I think.

 

[muu]

So is it time to call it, or are we supposed to 'wait till TGS?'

 

[Holy Wars]

This is America, bro.

It's not hate, it's disappointment.

 

[Teknoman]

Geoff needs to grill someone on the Vita like he did Reggie.

 

[survivor]

Fucking fantastic

 

[Darknight]

99% chance of selling my Vita.

 

[N0VAM0D]

I want to love you Vita, but I simply cannot.

 

[Anteo]

=/
I am no fan of the vita, but still.. man that was awful for any owner.. I hope they do something, one of my friend bought one not long ago and was telling me how it has no games right now (he doesn't even own a game for vita!). I was telling him "It was the same for the 3ds, I went through it too, just hold on a little longer"
=/

 

[MThanded]

 

[IMACOMPUTA]

If you own a Vita sell it while it's still worth something and no I'm not joking around.

I'm seriously doing this. What a fucking mistake. I'm pissed.

 

[Bento]

You guys realize theres still 3 days of E3 left yea? They can't put everything in their press conference.

There's absolutely a chance that there will be Vita presence on the floor but why are they so poor at managing their 1 hour and 30 minutes that they can't even squeeze in a short montage for the Vita games? Sony messed up.

 

[DMeisterJ]

So AC Liberation, Vita COD, PS1 support and new apps announced at the event means it doesn't exist. This blind Vita hate is pathetic and I don't even care for handheld gaming.

A game they barely showed, a game they didn't show, PSone Classics which don't have a date aside from before 9/21, and apps is a terrible conference, no matter how you slice it.

 

[eznark]

I'll lie and say I got it used at $99

I'm going to tell my kids I imported it so they know who to blame for the holes in their shoes.

 

[magawolaz]

But... That secret game Patcher talked about??

 

[qcf x2]

The problem with that, and why i made the comparison to PSP is that if you are not into RPG's or those niche titles you probably won't be happy with Vita. Just like how GTA psp wasn't enough to win gamers into those type of games to the PSP. I'm not sure Assassins and CoD will be enough to win people to Vita.

To be fair, it is a haven for fighters. UMVC3, blazblue, MK and now SFxT. It needs a lot of new IPs, to be sure.

 

[jrDev]

What happened to Bioshock for Vita? Any news so far at the event?

Seriously, I chuckled... :-/

 

[EvB]

Sony just cant let the Vita die.It just cant.

Sony just sent the old boy out into the back yard and is fetching it's shotgun.

 

[Raw64life]

Yea this press conference certainly did nothing to make me want me want to buy a Vita. Like, at all.

 

[WillyFive]

So is it time to call it, or are we supposed to 'wait till TGS?'

It will have to glide without power until TGS, and hope publishers and developers are still game.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Here's what I think will happen.

The PS Vita will become the standard controller for the PS4. You'll get one with the console, and developers will have a standard to work with - so all PS4 games will use the second screen.

Well at least there would be the irony of Nintendo adding clicky sticks and Sony taking them away...

 

[Endo Punk]

It's not hate, it's disappointment.

I dunno man it just seems like you guys are expecting the galaxy on the system. Set realistic expectations.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

2013 will be the year Of the Vita. Just wait.

 

[friskykillface]

LOL at that tombstone sffdfdjskkdfsdfsfdsfds


smh i was hoping Jack would say PS1 games would be available tomorrow on Vita.


he said "summer" :/
