yeah, This E3 is Vita judgment day, The last stand, the hope for better future, where we will know if Sony care and if Vita have a future and actual third party support, so If they don't show and deliver the good then they better just discontinue it or turn them into aibos.

We said that this time last year, we got fuck all and here we are again this year, the Vita is still alive and we're saying the same shit again.

From what I understand, the Syphon Filter games haven't really been selling since the PS1 era. I suppose one can hope someone came up with a really good pitch for a reboot, but otherwise I wouldn't count on seeing it again.

Anyway, I see lots you are going into full BEST EVER!!!!/WORST EVER!!!!! SAVED/DOOMED internet mode. Not a good idea if you ask me, since the actual result is likely to be neither.

Toto is always in Toto mode.

But yeah, we won't get anything life-changing. Mortimer just said there's some ports we'll be happy with (one in particular) so that's all I'm expecting. Maybe a tease for whatever Bend is working on.

I'm certainly not going to deem the Vita dead just because it doesn't get loads of exclusives and a huge showing (which it won't, because Sony have a new console to show off).

Yeah. I really don't get all those people crying 'vita doomed'.

I mean, system is only 1 year old, 5M install base is not that bad, there's enough really good games (and bunch of just good ones).
And that on top of PSV being really good hardware with really good dev.tools.

LOL. Adding people is indeed a pain. But the streetpass functionality is deliciously good and streamlined.

At least Near actually works for me. And has in-game unlockables.

I've tried to use Street Pass twice, only to get an SD Write error both times making carrying my 3DS with me a complete waste of time.

Really wish Near wouldn't get wiped after resetting my Vita though..

If you can wait, Y's Celceta is coming. Gravity Rush and Soul Sacrifice would be my strongest recommendations. LOTS of hours of fun with Soul Sacrifice - not much play in Gravity Rush (only about 12 hours or so) but the short ride that is Gravity Rush is not to be missed in my opinion - its a stellar game.

Stranger's Wrath is a very well done port and runs smoothly and looks great. Not sure about armored core games though.

EDIT: How could I have forgotten Persona 4 Golden? Unless you hate JRPGs or have never played Persona 4 before then this is another must have. You know - even if you hate JRPGs you may still enjoy this game it is that good. Slow start but the story and character interactions even surpass the awesome combat at some point, and the battles in this game are better than most JRPGs. Definitely take a look.

I got gravity rush and some other good games from PS+. I also got persona 4. I was mostly interested in PSP games that were good and relatively cheap.

Another thing to keep in mind that is that the PlayStation Blog team will be livestreaming all day from the show floor during the convention itself (Tuseday to Thursday). So there will be plenty of chances to get a good look at what's coming for the Vita, even if a game is not featured at the press conference. I do hope they manage to squeeze in a Vita sizzle reel in the main presentation. Even if it's not that important in the larger scheme of things, it would be a nice gesture.

If this happens, I guarantee that regulars in this thread will be out for Sony's blood.
 
All I'm really looking for from E3 is some confirmations of games I'd like to play. The Vita's future isn't really tied to it, because I think it's future is much more entwined with the PS4 features, and how the system is used alongside it's sister systems.

I'd be nice to get a few big announcements, though. Gravity Rush 2, Type 0 + A new Dissidia, some western RPG just to round out the catalogue, and a new IP that'd be Vita-exclusive.

Really would like some new info on Picotto Knight and possibly Samurai & Dragons, though. A Puzzle & Dragons style game for Vita is also something I wouldn't turn down...

And there still isn't any video or screens of the 4 new playable characters for Muramasa Vita's DLC, is there? Would like to see something on that, as well.

i wouldn't really count on the psblog demos too much. last year i think we saw about 2-3 vita exclusives and the rest was video of multi-platform/cross-buy stuff playing on a tv.

Patapon! The 2nd one is on sale right now. So are both of the GoW games, they're alright too if you like that kind of thing.
 
I added you guys :) Also, by "beach trip" I geuss I should have been more specific lolll. My parents run a hotel in the NJ shore, so we're staying there for free. I'll game on my vita at the hotel, when I go to the beach tho it'll stay back.

Hmm. I've never had that sort of problem nor have I heard of anyone experiencing that. Streetpass also has in-game unlockables, sooo...

Anyway, I've tried on several occasions to figure out how to get the most of Near and, frankly, it just doesn't make any sense. Not a deal breaker since I didn't buy the system for that.

Huh? I was mainly thinking of smaller 3rd party stuff, like the Vita RPG Aksys is supposed to announce. Probably won't be shown at the press conference, but they'll certainly stop by the livestream.

On the Blogcast they did say that the livestream would be more tightly produced this time compared to last year. Hopefully they'll be able to show off most of the Vita games present.

Vitabros I finally got my vita and soon Ill have a 32 gig card. I want to get some PSP games to put on it. Which ones are the best bang for your buck purchases. (both price and space)

i was planning on strangers wrath, Ys (not sure which one I should get), and armored core(do these translate well/support 2 sticks).

I'm not sure how to sort through the GTAs.

Any must plays I have overlooked?
Click to expand...

You can get either Ys Oath in Felghana or Ys 7. Also buy Legend of heroes: Trails in the Sky

Oh, I might have misunderstood your post. I thought you meant that Vita demos wouldn't be shown at all at Sony's conference.
 
Kind of a random question. I saved my data for Rayman and Lumines to my PC when I sold my cartridges. Will I have any issues if I re-buy these either in used form or digital? Like there should be no issue resuming my saves for either of those games, right?
 
Finally got the real ending of VLR. No spoilers but holy fuck

My brain just melted..

Play this game people - it's on EU plus and soon will be on US plus

Also my god is dark at times

Would it be that level-5 time travelers or that demon gaze game.
 
As an OG vitabro/vitadad, I'm incredibly excited about tomorrow. Please come through Sony. I know the indies will be there. Will first party and 2 to 3 big third party titles be there as well? Big is relative .. of course.
 
^^Yes, even if we get all of them they'll be downplayed as not major enough unless it's exclusive and announced to have a 200 million dollar budget for development and advertising and every copy sold eradicates a 3DS from existence or port-begged to death (ie. Should be on PS4/PS3/3DS).

Been playing a lot of Abyss mode in BlazBlue, while being able to jump in and out freely makes it a massively better experience then CS on my PS3, I can't seem to get past the Unlimited Hakumen at level 400 :(

Also, REALLY hope games like Demon Gaze and Holy Sorcerey Story get localized, Dungeon Crawls and Rougelikes are some of my favorite genres!

Is it stupid to hope for one of these games tomorrow?
GTA
SSX
SoulCalibur
Burnout
MonsterHunter

I honestly expect none of them, maybe gta... Nah

I'm not much excited, but hope is the last to die, i expect some good medium-big game, i just hope they aren't ports.

Then what is there to get excited about?(I don't like japanese games, so I don't care about annoucements of japanese games)
Click to expand...

Maybe a xcom, demon's souls(japanese), borderlands or bioshock port or spinoff, but don't get your hopes up, just wait a little more.
 
I don't post often but I always read this thread. Just chiming in to sing the praises of Sly Cooper. I'm consistently surprised by how much fun I'm having. Do we know if the Sly collection is vita bound?

Hints at Ubisoft and 2K support? More Sony stuff? Indie games?

And you clearly do like Japanese games going by your list, lol.

A ratings board entry was leaked but no official announcement. Maybe this week, I guess!

You listed Monster Hunter, Soul Calibur, and Metal Gear Solid though...

Well, I like those kinds of japanese games^^ Pretty western IMO.
I meant stuff like Type-0, Muramasa and all those games many Vitabros are talking about... I don't like those.

I hope that Sony BEND is working on something cool.
Boarderlands2 would also be very welcome.
Maybe another AssassinsCreed.

But I can't believe that Rockstar isn't working on a GTA for Vita. GTA was huge on PSP, it needs to be on Vita, too.
It just seems so wrong to not have GTA on the Vita...
SSX, SoulCalibur, MonsterHunter, Burnout and MetalGear were some of my favorite PSP games. When I bought a Vita I thought that all those succesful PSP titles would surely come to Vita.

I knew what you meant :P

I like both kinds myself, but really I just want Sony to show that they still care about the Vita.
 
I'm not expecting too much with Vita tomorrow either. If anything, we'll see how it can interact as a second glass for PS4.

I actually have more Vita games than 3DS games at the moment, but I still need to get Persona 4 Golden, Rayman Origins, and Soul Sacrifice. Hopefully I will soon...

Of those only Metal Gear is really "western", MonHun and Soul Calibur are pretty Japanese even if its not animu and mango.

Also I don't think you really have to worry, based on current info there's going to be more western announcements both with this being E3 and mortimer's comments, things like localization announcements will pop up but probably later on the floor or from press releases, during the conference most we'll see is some during a sizzle reel if one appears.

He probably means JRPGs. I don't like JRPGs either. Although Muramasa isn't really a JRPG.

It's one thing not to like them which is valid. But questioning why others would be exited for games in other genre's that your not personally interested in is ummm.... I don't get it.

"Why are you exited for stuff I don't care about" could be asked in every single thread.

I expect a good vita showing at the conference, I doubt it will have a lot of time but I expect a sizeable games reel with new announcements.

After last years abysmal showing, there should be a positive uptick. Hope remote play is a prominent feature. I'd love to see a God of War on Vita.
