Good. All-in on the PS4 this E3, as it should be.
I love off tv play on Wii u. Anyone tell me if the vita would be worth getting just for that feature or is the controller setup on the vita not great when used for ps4 games.
Weird, the Vita never had any presence at previous E3's.
Have fun with your scarce year.
I hope this doesn't mean localization teams will stop bringing Vita games over from Japan, since Japan is still going fairly strong on the software front.
Not me. Over 100 Vita games here. 63 that fit on my memory card not counting PSP/PS1/PSM. Only 1 Japanese game on thee, and I don't even like it(P4G). It's all about tbe indies for me. And the first party and western third party stuff that came out in the first couple years.
my vita served it's purpose well: portable ps1 games on an oled
I'm hoping the PSTV gets hacked so I can play all my PSP and Vita titles that would work fine if it weren't for the "whitelist" they have implemented. I really want to play Castlevania: Drac X Chronicles on it.
Personally, I'd sell my Vita if the PSTV played the same games. I'd have no need for it.
Their support has been pretty fucking dreadful on Vita, if we're totally honest. Nothing of substance, sans Gravity Rush, really came from them. So many middle of the road filler titles to console IPs and ports was what their bread and butter attempts were.
In fact, it was the exact same problem they gave with the PSP; it was marketed outside of Japan as getting console-like experiences in the palm of your hand. And the market spoke then that this wasn't desired. Why in the fuck did they try it again? Does anyone remember the awful marketing for Unit 13? The first dual-stick handheld shooter? Who cares?!
I'm" going to continue to enjoy the platform regardless of what anyone at Sony or otherwise says. It didn't realize it's full potential, but it is and will continue to be a great platform for my tastes.
Are you buying the Vita for that feature alone? If so I would say wait a bit for a price drop.
Honestly, off screen play is phenomenal in my experience. Sure, any game greater than 30fps on PS4 will feel slower as the Vita forces a 30fps Remote Play experience (well, there was a new firmware that allows you to set 60fps but its probably bandwidth intensive), but its still fantastic. You have to make due with using the front screen and back touchpad a bunch to offset the lack of PS4 touchpad, L2, R2, L3, and R3 but its still fantastic. Best example of controller mapping for Vita remote play is Destiny. Further, depending on connection speed, you dont even need to be at home to remote play. I was on a business trip on my Vita using hotel WiFi thousands of miles away from home and was able to remote play Destiny (I wouldnt do a strike with it but could handle patrols decently enough).
Again, if you are looking for strictly remote play, I think the device is great there BUT not worth the asking price if that is all you want with it. Now, if you are interested in playing a lot of the indie games that released on PS3 and PS4 on the go, plus a lot of stellar Vita titles (granted a lot of them are JRPGs, VNs, etc), then I would say you could go out and now and get it and it would be worth it (memory cards are really expensive however). Honestly though, wait until after E3 to purchase it...while Andrew House is saying its dead, if it gets a price drop it will probably be announced at E3 or around then.
Sigh fk these guys.
At least we are still getting a decent amount of JP/Indie titles.
I completely disagree with anyone who contends Sony didn't properly support the Vita. They tried. The market simply wasn't there anymore.
Smartphones and tablets killed the Vita, not Sony.

3DS wants to talk with you.
I really hope that 89.99 rumor is true.
I need to get a Vita ASAP.
To stay in the metaphor, isn't it more like his/her parents won't allow it?

Fuck you Sony. It's your own damn fault that the Vita did so poorly outside of Japan, and now you're giving the people in the west that did buy a Vita the finger.
