Well, I'll be doing my part.
Bolded are the games I'll be purchasing. MGS HD is fine, but I already bought it for PS3 and it's hard for me to justify buying it again - I've played them so many times as it is.
Does PS Vita exist / Lack of Vita games at E3

they tried to get away from montages and do live gameplay this time around. honestly i would have preferred a video lol. at least you get more games to be seen in it.
im sure we'll get news why the lack of support tonight. maybe they were late to submit it or something.

I can understand how Vita owners feel, most 3DS owners remember it getting 'awkward'.
But theres no sudden burst or hope :/
All very shitty.

Ben Judd alluded to this on the 8-4 Play podcast. In short, he said Sony wasn't going to blow it out with the Vita, because they knows 3rd parties are super pessimistic about turning a profit on it. Instead, they would try to build moment in other ways.
They'll sell me... oh wait, I can get most of those on my PS3 that I already own.

Why spend time on it in a presser that only hardcore game-fans are going to watch? Its not going to raise its profile to any significant extent. You might as well just release a new promo over the larger E3 period and let the enthusiast press do their job.

Good points. I would have liked at least a 2 or 3 minute montage, showing some of the upcoming titles for the next few months. At least doing that it would have presented the appearance of having a strong pillar of support (regardless of whether it was truly strong or not).
What other ways? They sure as hell don't have the first-party stable to drive sales.
So, where were the first party games? Where's KZ?

hand it out when you buy a new Scion iQ.
Why? It's a perfectly serviceable psp emulator
A feature I thought I might use, and haven't.
They'll build momentum from behind. With a bulldozer. As they push the remaining stock into a landfill.
Hmm found on my youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkyht9JVaxM seems like they're hyping up ps1 support....
Seriously sony..

The only thing I can think of is that their E3 conference was set in stone and they just don't have the gameplay footage ready yet to get gamers hyped. I honestly can't think of any other reason why there was so little focus on vita.

I think that the one audience for the Vita that Sony cannot afford to ignore are the people that like JRPGs, bullet hells, SRPGs, Demon/Dark Souls, and Wario Ware.

There aren't a lack of games imho.
There are though, a lack of games that would prompt most people to invest in another gaming platform when there are plenty of great games coming out for the PS3 that aren't coming to Vita.
Mobile gamers may have moved past the idea that they simply must have the same gaming experience they have on the road as the one they have when they are at home.

Spending 5 minutes showing off the game and acknowledging its coming out next week would have been 5 minutes well spent.
If you aren't going to drop the price on the system and if you're not going to make any huge blockbuster announcements then you have to emphasize what you have and work with it. It really does feel like Sony doesn't even care anymore, I really couldn't believe they didn't have a montage for the Vita.
They showed off as many Vita games during the pre-show than the actual show itself. That's just crazy.

Yeah, cause they showed us so much love in the PSP era, when we were the only ones keeping the system alive.

James Mielke just tweeted that there are supposedly 30 Vita games on the show floor.

Am surprised everyone seems to want P4 golden.
If you haven't played P4 by now (or watched the giantbomb ER)... why are you on a video game forum? D:

That's really counterintuitive.

It's in the press release. It's coming. I think it's also coming to pretty much every system ever
except Wii U?

Plenty? The biggest title they have for it is Hatsune Miku, which is a reasonably (if not massively) popular series in Japan, to be sure... but the announcement of a late PS3 port doesn't exactly suggest confidence in the platform.

Yeah, but if you're going to do that, why do it during your keynote? Just do it over E3 generally.
Did what Sony showed for PS3 represent the sum and total of the titles coming for that platform? No, of course it didn't. Not to mention that with the Vita only being on sale for 4 months the initial raft of launch titles shouldn't be being thrown under the bus this soon.

Damned if I know.
Sony didn't even add Vita support for PS+. Talk about a vote of no confidence.

I would buy quite a few of those.
Could be we like the game so much we want the definitive version of it.

I watch these E3s and shit and it's like we don't even exist or something. Too much on the line for a company to be so out of touch with their audiences. At least show a trailer montage of Vita games Sony, throw some FF Type 0, Dragon's Crown, Soul Sacrifice, etc. in there. I dunno, I just don't know...

this show is not Breaking Bad why is it not Breaking Bad? it should be Breaking Bad dammit Breaking Bad
This is a fight they need to win in Japan first, so e3 is the least of their worries.
I love my Vita, and can't wait to get my hands on Persona 4 and Gravity Daze, but a little enthusiasm and a concrete image for the platform would do wonders for buyer confidence. The couple of us big fans on gaf can't move mountains for them.

A lot of games on the show floor? Where were the onstage demonstrations? New game announcements?
Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of Vita games coming and I'll be buying a crap ton... but there are plenty of port jobs and what is there other than that and in the future? Not much.

Is this the first solid release date for JSR? Awesome.

He's probably talking about the users who I recognize from the Vita threads since the Japanese launch and purchased FEB bundles like myself.
You really don't want to play this game.
