SCEE exec teases "an amazing big title coming to Vita" [Not an indie title]

If is Minecraft I wish they give the option to build things like in PC, piece by piece.

Dota2 or LoL would work with Vita?

Now this makes me excited.

... Vita Solitaire and Minesweeper? :)


Really hoping for a pleasant surprise here. I've got a massive backlog I intentionally haven't touched on my Vita, but more quality titles are always a good thing!

The iOS/Android release probably hurts that.

Probably somewhat, but I thought the iOS/Android versions weren't that great? In theory, a native Vita verson would be much better.

Honestly though, it's somewhat puzzling that we haven't seen a Minecraft clone on PSN. There were a couple on XBLIG that sold a million. Or for that matter, why are major companies avoiding making one? They seem to have no shame when copying Monster Hunter.

It's weird how big companies have blind spots, like how no one has made a proper clone of The Sims, even though that has sold like 150 million units in the last 10 years. Or MOBA/DOTA games, only Valve jumped onto that.

Making a decent MH clone doesn't take a ton of effort because the whole genre is basically a grind-fest. Even if any particular clone is totally unbalanced, the expectation is that you'll sink in a couple hundred hours and be able to beat whatever boss you couldn't defeat the first, second, or fiftieth try.

A game like The Sims or DOTA lives or dies based on how well they balance the risk/reward dynamic and about a billion other things. Any little flaw or potential exploit, and the whole house crumbles.

The need for so much balance (which requires thousands of hours of expensive playtesting and retooling) is probably one reason why we see so few fighting games outside of the usual suspect developers (one reason why the otherwise unremarkable Skullgirls is one of this generation's bigger stories).

Demons Souls Vita or Bust.
That's what the system needs for the core gamer.

It'd be huge in certain circles, for sure. I feel like Vita gets a lot of word of mouth though but that hasn't been translating into sales, maybe it's just that too many gamers think the bottom will fall out any day now, but if they can get enough killer software on it then it could tip over into the "gotta-have" territory. I still wonder about that "Forsaken Souls" name, by the way, I could swear the rumors had it registered after Soul Sacrifice was known worldwide and the international release commitment was blogged so it's not clear to me that that was just a trademark thing. Sure would be a cool game to have on Vita if Sony did keep its part of the "Souls" license active this way, though I'm not sure who would make it? (Feels kind of like when White Knight PSP came out of nowhere from the middle of SCEJ instead of Level-5.)

GTA San Andreas Stories
Click to expand...

Yes, please. Rockstar Leeds did great things with the other two PSP games, and even if San Andreas weren't built to GTA 4/5 levels of detail, if it ran on the new HD GTA gameplay engine (bolstered by Euphoria physics and all that) with a stylized version of the old San Andreas graphics (use the PC game's textures and do something interesting with a filter and the character designs to accentuate the lesser detail,) I'd play that for years. I don't know that it'd move tons of Vitas since the PSP games were hyped to hell and only did so much business, but as with Demons Souls Vita, it'd help tip the teetertotter.

Pro Evolution Soccer actually sounds like a good guess.

That's crazy, I didn't realize it but there is no PES on Vita, huh? Seems like it has to happen now that they've got a new engine and aren't just spinning their wheels anymore.

You have Diablo 3. Crossplay PS3/Vita.

Why DIDN'T that happen, by the way? I feel like there was no reason to port to PS3 this late in the game without a larger platform scope (then again, PS4 is in that mix.)

I really don't think another AC would be that "amazing" or exciting IMO.
Click to expand...

AC: Liberation didn't burn up the charts but it did pretty well for a Vita game and sold some systems. It'd be a pretty big deal to do it again, especially if they learned how to scale the production without killing themselves and coming up short like they did with the first Vita game (and Griptonite's PSP game, for that matter.) I'd say that'd be about as amazing and exciting an announcement for those who like the franchise as the first Vita game. If we're talking a game that will be AAA for the floundering system, though, that ship seems to have sailed.

Sony is being more realistic than their own fans, who I think enormously underestimate just how rapidly the demographic for dedicated handhelds has changed in the West. Vita could hypothetically have a holiday lineup of exclusive, high-quality, well-marketed GTA, CoD, and GoW spinoffs, plus a version of GT6, and I still don't think it would sell more than a third or so, if that, better than it did last holiday.

Ouch. Yeah, I'm not nearly as glass-half-empty as you are, but there is intelligence to Sony's soft approach to Vita, they know better than us fans that there's a hell of a hard road ahead. And especially since Nintendo is desperate to make 3DS their success story with Wii U floundering, it seems like a good idea to make small moves and cross-platform the right games than to put every effort behind Vita.

Then again, anything that flops on Vita could come to PS3 later like some PSP games did. It'll be good to have new software as the PS4 takes over all the development. Plus I'm not sure in this era people will be as grouchy about "why buy the portable game when it's just gonna be on console a year later ?" now that everything gets ported and cross-released and upresed, with iOS and the download market people pretty much expect games to be on every system nowadays. (They could also flip Vita games onto console via the Gaikai system without necessarily devaluing the portable release, a streamed game will seem a different value to a consumer than a boxed product even though the end result is pretty much the same.)

Arent most Minecraft clones done by indies aswell? Shahids talked about signing allot of indies in the past and according to him we wont see allot of what hes signed until Q4, or after so its not impossible that Minecraft clones are on their way....isent Terraria considered a Minecraft clone despite being 2d?

I dont know really but considering the popularity of Minecraft I think a proper native handheld version could do very well for the Vita, because from what I have heard to phone version is garbage.

Yeah, the mobile version of Minecraft has a tonne of limitations. The issue is that the mobile version might just be good enough for a lot of people.
 
They are really hyping it up. I hope/think it could be that big. Sony has to know that they need something great to change the situation.
Yes, I know, the forecasts aren't good, but the Vita didn't even sell with Uncharted, LittleBigPlanet, Hot, Shots Golf, Wipeout, Call of Duty and Assassins Creed. They have pushed some of their biggest IPs and even have had two notable 3rd Party Franchises.

Not sure if it is a first party game or not. Think we can agree that they will try to push Gran Turismo or God of War at some point if they want to save the Vita.
 
GT + Minecraft.

...Someone else talking some sense, keep em coming.
 
Pholklore

but from this it sound like they only got one game to hype for their system/rest of this year,this is kinda all sort of bad.
 
Sony/Activision, please put this in the Vita, because sucks in iOS. Playing old games with touchscreen control is like watching porn with the family.

I hope it's not just cross-buy titles. Those are good and all, but not really anything to get me excited about the system. I've never once played a cross-buy game anywhere other than my PS3.
 
I refuse to get excited about this. No... NO. I won't disappoint myself by thinking of crazy games coming to the Vita.

I want the awesome games, but I just won't do it to myself.

corss buy are fine since they are new games,but the old indie,old Multiplat and old console ports (and ports of ports) are the biggest offenders on the platform.

but I really doubt it's a new game,the dude sound like he is sure about the quality of it this might mean it's already a well known title which mean it's will be an old port that everyone played already.
