Nah in the West maybe, but here in Japan it will be running long for a while seeing that its taken over the PSPs role which had predicted a long while back.
Still think Sony should release a final model with L2 / R2 triggers if they really want to push remote play more and ditch the useless rear touchpad. Still think that whoever thought that was a good idea better be kept far away as possible from hardware development.
Only issue is Id imagine would be a more costly unit to produce due to the new molding / construction required. Will have to see how things go with software that support remote play also in the future.
Its a nice dream of mine but realistically do not think Sony will do anything that drastic yet.
Yay, Corpse Party Blood Drive localization leak. Can't wait, I'm so hyped.

Happy New Years VitaGAF, I hope all of you celebrated safely.
2015 is already starting out strong with all of these localizations.

I think my definition of that needs to be elaborated, I agree with you for the most part in the west but as long as Vita is still pumping out those Japanese games I am completely fine, I just hope that there are going to be at least two or three physical titles so I won't have space issues. It is pretty much dead to the general public in the west, I don't think that will change. Since it takes more than a miracle to turn that around.
Call me an naive optimist but I do think the Japanese games in general on the vita have a small yet very passionate fanbase to make localization worthwhile.
My games for 2015
Confirmed releases:
Resident Evil Revelations 2
Bastion
Persona 4 Dancing All Night
Hoping to see localization:
God eater 2
Samurai Warriors 4-2
Hoping to see it happen:
Soul Sacrifice 2
Gravity Rush 2
In my dream land:
Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne
Final Fantasy XII
Dissidia Vita

We are all going broke this year with the amount of release coming out thats for sure.
I think the issue is in order to get some of the releases out to you guys and pubs know generally what the userbase looks like for their titles, is what drives them to do digital for titles instead of all the things that come with going physical.
If anything at least, NISA still seems to be quite strong on physical releases as they are pretty good about managing their stock so to speak and prepping packages that folks will pick up most def seeing how all of their LE stuff usually goes pretty fast.
Sony really needs to get their head out of their ass and just release the 64GB card in the West too at a reasonable price. Since them sitting around in warehouses in Japan isnt making them any money thats for sure. And larger sized cards = more games people buy from the PSN / SEN economy therefore causing a full circle to be had with profits. (in a simple sense)

Yes! I should go finish Book of Shadows already..
Pretty much this, especially the dream bit
Nintendo has shown it can turn the tables around, Sony is plain lazy and borderline moronic with the way they handle Vita - all of their consoles really.
I can't possibly afford to pay for 80 euro 64 gb card in any shape of form - it's just not going to happen. Sony needs to lower these incongruous prices because more and more releases will probably be digital only and if that's the case Vita will be just too expensive endeavour for me.

As much as I love my Vita, the 3ds is blasting it in full force.
I have 40+ hours logged on Persona Q right now.
80 euros for a 64 GB card is insane, I can't even swallow the $80 32GB
I know that there are cheaper ways to look for this, but it's about the MSRP
I still need to buy the first one.

Yes! Dennation Games just confirmed via Twitter that the release date of Duke Nukem 3D Megaton Edition for both PS3 and PS Vita is January 6th, free with PS+ both versions it seems
While I think that my 3DS has gotten more high quality titles overall, I definitely play and have played my Vita more, and purchased more games on it, undoubtly also due to digital sales. I still dream about combining them, sorta like a mecha, so I get the base hardware of the Vita, SD cards and a unified online shop with all software available for both. And get me all those classic games I want, but that's where both are lacking, VC and PSX classics. It's scary how awesome a perfect handheld could be.
Happy New Years peeps.
2015 - The year of Gamerloid. Bet on it.
Also, anyone here doing real pic January?
I'm actually getting really good at budgeting when it comes to video games. My backlog keeps me from buying new games now, and the platinums are enticing.

No chance. Why would releases magically dry up when they're still getting announced regularly? Reports of it's death have long been exaggerated, all the parties currently making games for it have all the same reasons to continue making games for it (namely, it's profitable).

I think Vita will stay around at LEAST as long as PS4. They really have no reason to pull support without making a follow up, especially not with it being a great compliment to PS4 and regularly getting games. People are crazy, you'd think it was an N-Gage the way people talk (which had less than 60 titles).
Vita is getting stronger as time passes slowly will get its install base growing year by year,I see more and more people wanting a Vita now. even thou will never reach 3ds, im pretty sure it will not be a Game Gear case.
3DS is an awesome machine but i have around 30 games vs more than 200 on vita. IDK Vita is doing some profit due to the amazing attach rate and as long as we get more and more games that will not stop.

Yeah isn't the Vita attach rate supposed to be ridiculous? (and they never count PS+ in those numbers). I only have more PHYSICAL games on 3DS than Vita and that's only due to not trusting Nintendo with digital content. I'm sure I have more games released at retail and games in general on Vita, and I certainly play it more.
Played Remote Play over the internet for the first time last night, pretty amazing. Even over a bad connection I played an event of Driveclub and didn't do too much worse than usual, and played Peggle 2 perfectly fine. Couple frames of lag probably due to using the phone's 3G as the connection, but quite impressive for what the connection was. It also handles disconnects very gracefully, my only complaints about remote play are the games that don't customize/let you customize controls for it at all, and the long startup on Vita. Also it's fantastic it doesn't force you to close your Vita game (though if I could close my Vita game to log on faster I usually would.)

I forgot that Soul Sacrifice was such a rough looking game.
Holy shit. Megaton dropped. BASED XSEED. I really need to play those games again once I get through my backlog.

Oh god this is the best New Year ever. On a side note do I need to finish book of shadows if I beat the original?
Yes. Book of Shadows is necessary, since parts of it connect directly to Blood Drive.

Man, I don't know why but the controls are not clicking with me. I'll give it another shot, since I started playing right after I beat the first game.

Corpse Party has controls? I thought it was a VN. I'm mildly interested but never really feel like taking the plunge on those. I kinda wish they all had demos like Ghost Trick (not quite a VN but...) does on iOS, that hooked me right quick.
It looks MOSTLY great though the ground textures are way too low res, I'd say it's inconsistent more than anything. Also the player clothes options are ridiculous at least for women. And not like "kind of amusing" type ridiculous like Freedom Wars

SSD looks noticeably better.
While i'm happy for this i'm more excited for the localization Sen No Kiseki if it's true that Trails of Cold Steel refers to it.

I've gotten used to the way it looks but it was a bit of a shock after not having played it for a little over a year.
I have to say that I prefer the female clothing options if only because of the ridiculous hunter raiment, which I'm currently sporting.
That's great to hear as I may be picking it up down the road. Everything I've read about Delta sounds much improved.

While it is a VN, it does have some first person controls. I was just not comfortable with them, granted I only played a couple of minutes.
The first one, Blood Covered, plays like a classic SNES JRPG. Top-down four directional movement. Book of Shadows is a first-person point-and-click adventure game. No battles in either, just solving puzzles and avoiding traps. You should at least play Blood Covered, it's wonderful.

Happy new year Vita Gaf ! While last year had its ups and downs for the Vita (*cough*Sony not caring about the Vita*cough*), it was a great year for the Vita in my book .
Lots of great sales, being part of a great community here, and being part of a lot of major events (E3, TGS, PSX, ect) :'). Thank you Gaf for letting me be part of the community and I can't wait for more great times here this year.
The last games I played in 2014 was Breath of Fire 4, Alundra, Smash 3DS and Child of Light Vita.
Lets have another great year for the Vita guys!

Pretty much thats all that was holding up the last of the PSP during its final run with titles. Was quite impressive too, seeing how many came out in rapid succession.
Though from what I understand a lot of those gamers moved over to the Vita when Dangan Ronpa 1 & 2 came out. So Id imagine all of those companies will be following suit and shift with the market.

Happy 2015 PSGAF! I didn't know we were getting Duke as a Plus game. Pretty sweet.

I figured as much.
Here you go, a full Q1 list (though I might have missed a recent announcement or two);
Note; no region specified above means it was announced for the West, all Japanese announcements should be labelled "JP" at the least.

Omg omg Duke is almost here!!! <3
Hey VitaGAF can we talk about how amazing Decorator is from PDF:2nd It makes up for all the ballads in the song list.
I have finished the game on normal. The song list is definitely a step down from PDF due to too many slow songs/ballads. But the last 5~6 songs are epic.
My favorite from the game would be: Melt, Package, Blacjack, Luka night fever, This is happined and peace of mind committee, Miku Miku you, Two sided lover, Decorator and Intense singing of hatsune miku.
