God of War imho.
Can't come up with many other big properties I would really want on a portable. GT PSP (haters be damned) got a lot of fundamental things right about what makes a slick portable driving game. While an A-Spec mode in GT Vita would be nice, I'd rather take another skirmish/make-your-own-race type deal rather than waiting for them to take years implementing and balancing a half-baked campaign mode that gets old quickly.
Do we know if Kaz has publically even acknowledged the Vita? I imagine it's the kind of system he'd really enjoy tinkering with.
That'd make me really sad, but then I'd buy it anyway.

What's the opinion on the Vita dock?
No God of War has ever been first announced in Europe, and as of June no GoW for Vita was in development.
I was asking about this in the previous thread. I actually didn't end up getting it (not because I didn't want it, but I just decided to save my money and make do), but most respondents claimed it's attractive and functional, although the build quality is cheap and it's way overpriced.

Yes and yes.
I am also hoping we get info on Rayman Legends for the vita. I agree with that article, ubisoft is going to blow it out at Gamescom.

If you're going to plug your Vita into a home stereo system for music, the dock is way worth it because it includes some stereophile quality audio op-amps or something... other than that, I will say that I love mine - I'm totally sold on docks for all my main handhelds now; PSPgo, 3DS and Vita, I've got 'em all...
It's probably just Killzone.

This is most likely being it was shown alongside the announcement of the NGP. One could hope we get Killzone and another true announcement, but most likely won't.
Awesome. It feels really light and at first glance when you open the box and see just the dock, no cables you feel jipped a little but it really is worth it. Keeps the Vita up off of desks or surfaces where it can fall and get scratched, its always charging without you having to think about plugging it in and the stand has nice rubber bottom so even though its light it stays put where you put it.
but Killzone Vita is already announced.

I liked Golden Abyss a lot, but I don't rank it higher than Uncharted 1. Playing Uncharted 2 again, the experience really is quite a lot better on the home console, and while I'm getting an increased impression I am alone in this, the gameplay and set-pieces of Uncharted 3 were more fun than Uncharted 2. The only reason why I think Uncharted 2 stands above 3, is simply because it is a much more complete 'whole' with a better story, better story setup, and cooler character interaction and development. So even while the controls were a bit off initially in Uncharted 3 didn't help either, and some of the earlier forest scenes that should have looked very impressive but failing (ML)AA ruins it, almost all the fighting sections involving water in Uncharted 3 more than make up for it gameplay wise. Some of the sections were slightly ridicilulous, sure, but I do remember those, and want to play them again. In fact, even just watching them on youtube, I feel compelled to keep watching.
That said I still really enjoyed Golden Abyss, and the last few hours of the game were very exciting and I played through them in one sitting, and the game has a lot of depth to go back into it and collect, trade and so on. However, personally I would have much preferred some kind of score chasing with leaderboards.

So? SCEA doesn't have time for Vita with wonderbook taking all their attention so with latest Gow sales being similar in Europe to USA there's no reason why they wouldn't do it.
Did you miss the part where I said that a GoW for Vita wasn't even in pre-production by E3? All they'd have to show is a logo, and given Ascension has yet to come out I'd doubt they would do that.
Oh yea, beat Gravity Rush finally. Will go back and finish the DLC packs I have but don't see me doing those challenges to platinum it. Won't go into it here but yea good game.
Started playing Tactics Ogre again, little dirty secret, I haven't beaten it yet. I was planning on finishing it on the Vita but in the process of moving from PSP to Vita I lost a couple save files, VC2 and TO. Anyone who has played TO knows how crushing that could be so i've been reluctant to pick it up and slog through it. I'm back in it now.

I don't think there's a single thing Sony could announce that would get me excited, outside of a new IP.
I feel really burned out on all of their existing properties right now, especially God of War. I'm not even that optimistic about Thieves in Time
Any revival of an old classic Sony IP can be sweet,The problem is that they focus on few newer IPs (like GOW,GT,LBP,Uncharted) and milked them to hell and forgot about all the others. (Alundra,Ape Escape,Dark Cloud,,Colony Wars,G-Police,Arc the Lad,Drakan,Omega Boost,The Legend of Dragoon,Lemmings,MediEvil,Syphon Filter,Wild Arms..ect)

Good deal, I can't wait to play through it!
I'm right there with you on this one, I've been playing the game on and off since it's release, I'm just trying to figure out how to unlock all the post game content, I did all the missions that posted immediately, but now there is nothing new available.
Have they had a formal announcement on it yet though? We haven't actually seen anthing about it....
True. I'd be happy with most of those. Too bad it won't happen :/

That brings back happy memories. I loved that one.
How well do you think some of these have sold though? Some of those are even single game franchises which implies low sales in general.
We saw like 11 seconds of it in the original NGP reveal trailer. But if Resistance: Burning Skies is anything to go by that may not even be in the game.
Some of those aren't franchises though, so I don't think they'll get sequels just for the Vita. The Move Ape Escape game just came out last year, so the franchise isn't dead. The others? Probably, although Medievil Resurrection was incredibly surprising, making it impossible to say.

Man would an ape escape game be perfect for the Vita

Man, you guys are bringing me back to all those great PS1/PS2 jRPG franchises..... Would love to see some of those on VITA, but those are just pipe dreams...
Yeah, there were touting remote play with Killzone3 on their retail VITA demos as well, but.......

Nah, I agree -- and while I'm not sure where GA fits in yet, since I already think that 1 & 3 were infinitely better for me than Uncharted 2, I don't have any problems believing that I will eventually place GA above it as well.
Damn! On a recent flight my Vita sustained damage to its shell in the form of a crack near the right speakers. No idea how this happened, it was in a protective case and I wasn't exactly rough with my backpack. Anyone else sustained damage in that general area? It's not a big deal, but man, the Vita is so good looking. I hate to have a blemish on it.
I spend so long proofreading my posts and then I make mistakes like this. Yep, that's what I meant.
I was replaying to Zeer0id(read his post) who was talking about Sony's IPs in general, not about big franchises.
I guess I'm going with the Idle Thumbs definition as per their most recent podcast, because I don't really consider 10 year old games that don't even have a PSN release (Omega Boost, specifically) IPs.
Please be fallout or a wester open world rpg! If not ... please be gta!
there is no other definition here really, IP = Intellectual Property,so any game the company still own the rights for,old or new.
(and again Zeer0id and me weren't talking about big super seller titles (COD/Mario sized franchises) just about Sony games in general).
Why would Bethesda suddenly make a WRPG for Vita when they canned their PSP one, and have horrid performance on PS3?
Although it say's announcement, the use of the word 'duty' in duty-bound makes me think it will just be the unveiling of BO
eclassified.Intentional pun?
A man can dream
Dream about Drakan RPG for Vita then.
Rachel sections + 30fps make NG:S+ really difficult to get through.
If you aren't already, try using counter-attacks and roll-overs to set up combos and UTs.
I'd only play it after the nude hack is released.
Dream about a Suikoden III+IV+V trilogy pack then.

3 and 5 please
What you will get is a Vita release of the Suikoden released for PSP this year. It will be Japan-only.
No, sorry but my greatest dream is to play might & magic vi and heroes of might & magic iii on vita.
