Judging from gamescom, apparently the OP cares so much more about Vita than Sony.

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
Don't we all?
Nailed it.
They are not even bothering with this console. It's not a matter of first party support, it's a matter of making people know that it still exist
At E3 Nintendo had next to nothing for 3DS: three games they already showed a million times and only one actual new game, which, was it on Vita, would have been put in that "niche japanese games no one actually gives a shit about" category. So, what did they do? They started hyping up the showing for "a secret 3ds title" since a month before E3 and gave it a long and deep show.
The consensus after E3 was that 3DS' show was good and the console was in a healthy state(which tbf weren't) while Vita was completely dead.
tl;dr: if you're good at marketing and care about your products, you can make people believe that your products are in a healthier state than they actually are. If you are shit and don't care about your products that don't end with a number, you can even lead people to believe that your product is somewhat worse than it actually is.

Exactly. I wasnt even mad at the lack of Vita announcements. I wasn't expecting anything there. I was mad at the lack of Vita attention. Sony are just content to let people think the system has no games coming for it when it has loads. The way Sony have handled the Vita sours me on the company as a whole. They just don't seem to give a shit.

Weekly "Where's my Minecraft" bitch.
Apparently the PS4 version has been handed over to Sony for final testing whereas the Vita and XB1 versions still are being weeded out for bugs :/

This. Vita's treatment has left such a disgusting taste in my mouth I'm starting to seriously reconsider the choice I was going to make (PS4 instead of the bone)

Oh I'm sorry I guess expecting Sony to act like a platform that came out only 2 years ago actually exists was expecting too much. Silly us for wanting Sony to support one of their platforms.

They are though, look at the games in this thread
I'm completely fine with what Vita is getting, I'll probably get 30+ games and they keep getting announced, but I can't stand
1) the total abandonment from a first/"second" party games perspective
2) the total lack of care about advertising the console and making people know what is coming on the console
That's just awful.

And yet they can't even be bothered to let people know these games are coming at the second biggest gaming event of the year. They're content to act like the system doesn't exist.
To be clear Vita is my most played platform and I'm looking forward to many games for it. But Sony's treatment of the system has been disgusting.

Someone better tell SCEA! I don't think they know about this.
The first part I can deal with - it's the second that absolutely baffles me.
I tweeted Shahid last night about it when he was on the defensive listing all the games coming to Vita:
I told him that it's not the number of games coming that concerns us.
He then told me that if I was referring to quality (which I wasn't) then I should know that his team has exceptionally high standards.
It's this head in the sand bullshit that I don't get - and I'm a huge fan of Shahid and his work.
This thread alone PROVES that the Vita has games coming, and good games at that.
But what announcements did we get for the Vita yesterday? Or, more specifically, HOW did we get them?
Shahid's tweets.
THAT'S IT. We get occasional blog posts from developers to let us know but no dedicated Vita events, no streams, nothing - but people's complaints must be regarding "NO AAA GAMEZ!" or "VITA HAZ NO GAMES?!"
Wake the fuck up Sony.
Probably not.
XSEED's reaction to the game is extremely positive from a game that's from their parent company. I'd say it'll get localized, sooner or later.

Why not, Vocaloid/Hatsune Miku is getting popular in the West.
Anyway, this'll be import friendly right, getting the JPN version.
Just a thought, I wonder if we could add release windows to each entry, for ease of reference. Maybe it's not worth doing when so many have a vague '2015' date at the mo!
That would be a bit of research though, and probably too much for one person. Maybe a few of us could divvy it up and post them here, to minimise upkeep? A version of the list as just text in order of release dates would be cool too. Good/poor idea?

I think my biggest worry about Sony not properly advertising the VITA and talking about new games will mean new people not buying them which makes developers not want to develop for it and will have us in the US seeing fewer and fewer localized games. That is the real potential problem with Sony not pushing it and why I think so many people are upset.
Ah, it is nice to look back on this thread and see that the Vita still has tons of life in it :'); Gamescom made me think for a day that the thing is dead but, nope, still stuff coming 
.
My issue wasn't the fact that Vita-only games are coming to PS4 or that there wasn't new announcements (though both were a bit annoying to me).....it was the complete lack of caring to show the system off that bothered me the most X(.
They didn't have to announce anything new, but they did! We got Papers Please, Sounds and a few other indie games coming to the platform....but they didn't even bother to tell us they ARE coming to Vita (hell, everyone though Papers Please was a PS4 game after the show until the developer had to clear things out that it was ONLY coming to Vita).
If they just made a montage video of all the games that are still coming to the device and showed off the Vita trailer and Minecraft Vita trailer at that conference, I think we wouldn't be nearly as upset that we are now.
.....I just want to see my favorite console do okay, not completely just be ignored by the damn company that MADE the thing X(. At least, EU is in a somewhat better state for the device; EU is still getting the Mega Pack Bundles alongside bundles of games (Ratchet Trilogy one for example and I wouldn't be shocked if they got a Minecraft one too; they got Killzone and Tearaway bundles last year, so a Minecraft one wouldn't sock me).

But the ps4 is the best vita accessory I've ever bought
Nice vita sizzle reel with release dates for games coming up in the rest of 2014 on The Vita Lounge:

Papers Please is coming to Vita

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/474415/papers-please-coming-to-ps-vita/
Am looking forward to a lot of games in this thread and vita is probably my first (or at least 2nd) most played platform atm.
But I have to agree, really missing first/second party efforts or dare I say it, exclusive games. That or simply just games pushing the system. Is that wrong to ask for? It feels it's been a while since I've seen a game with visuals on par or exceeding the likes of Uncharted or Killzone.
Maybe I'm over exaggerating, Toukiden wowed me graphically and GE2 does (If only it was localised...:'( ), maybe the issue is simply there aren't enough games like that pushing the Vita.
Don't mean it to sound like graphics > gameplay, but it feels like it's a "strength" of Vita which has been long ignored and as much as pretty much...any indie game is most of the time automatically better on Vita for me, I would like the vita to be more than an Indie machine and I think it deserves to be really.

I am very interested in Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds. Anyone give it a try yet?
My feelings as well. The treatment of the vita pretty much convinced me never to buy anything sony again.
Hey there guys I didn't get to pop in much due to the (IMO) INCREDIBLE Gamescom updates, announcements and conferences. I enjoyed them highly! Not much on the Vita front unfortunately but fret not, I've picked up every bit of news possible for your reading/viewing pleasure. So, without further ado:
*The talented folks at Q-Games (the amazing Pixeljunk games) are bringing over their much anticipated next title by the name of Nom Nom Galaxy to the Vita (and PS4). The port is being handled by Double Eleven, and here is trailer of the PC version.
*A new Vita game has been announced! Flem is a 2D platformer with an emphasis on speedrunning starring a slime ball.
*Murasaki Baby is getting music contributions from legendary Silent Hill (1-4, Origins, Shattered Memories & Homecoming) composer, Akira Yamaoka
*The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is also coming along nicely, and here is a new vid for you guys.
*Flame Over has received a nice and interesting preview from the folks at Pocket Gamer and it is insightful.
*So the upcoming game Guns Up has received a new trailer, and the game will be free to play when it hits later this year.
*Crimsonland will be coming out on August 19th. Another out of nowhere release date ;D
*Speaking of out of nowhere releases, Gravity Badgers will be releasing on the Vita on August 19th.
*A new visual novel meshed with strategic elements has been announced for the Vita in Japan by the name of Kadenz fermata//Akkord:fortissimo, from 5pb.
*Here's a new trailer for the upcoming Vita platformer Kick & Fennick.
*Metanet software is hoping to work on N++ on the Vita after it is finished with the PS4 version.
Last but certainly not least, here are the latest updates to new releases and games that are coming VERY soon (in a few days):
NEW ATTRACTIONS
Akiba's Trip Undead & Undressed (Adventure, beat 'em up / Pub. by Xseed, Dev. by Acquire Games / Trailer)
Disgaea 4: A Promise Revisited (SRPG / Pub & Dev by Nippon Ichi / Trailer)
Hohokum ("Art" game / Dev by Sony Santa Monica & Honeyslug / Trailer)
Gravity Crash Ultra (Multidirectional shooter / Dev by Just Add Water / Trailer)
Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds (Side-scrolling beat em up / Dev by Division2 / Trailer)
My Singing Monsters (Simulation / Dev by Big Blue Bubble / Trailer)
The Swapper (Atmospheric puzzle platformer / Dev. by Facepalm Games, ported by Curve Studios / Trailer)
COMING SOON!
Counterspy
Sword Art Online Hollow Fragment
Crimsonland
Gravity Badgers
True! I had that problem with the Halo series. I love single player campaigns of many shooter games, but even though I beat the first Halo and then did the same with the second game, I still find the series to be a bit on the average end. I know the main draw is its multiplayer modes, but I get where you're coming from with Disgaea.
Thanks for the update 2+2+5, adding it up
I added that already fog Had the opportunity of speaking its developer here as well, apparently the game is now called Super Forget Me Not. Thanks for sharing the screens buddy
Thanks for sharing VLiberty. I added that to the news feed above as well as on the main page with a pic. This is one of the better looking games coming out for the Vita, in Q-Games we trust
The lack of Vita in Gamescom stung me On the other hand, as a huge PS fan, the PS4 stuff they shared blew me away. But damn, the Vita deserves more lip service at least from its creators :/
Agreed. Sony needs more people like Shahid. He is a genuine supporter and he does his best. His tweets alone show that, never mind the work he does behind the scenes. But yeah, Sony DOES have a beautiful opportunity in their hands and they are just letting it slip away :[
As a PS4 owner and fan I can tell you straight up that you needn't worry in the slightest about it; while I find Sony's support of the Vita downright abysmal, the PS4 on the other hand is not only constantly supported by them, but the content is just consistently good and there are plenty of amazing things to play, exclusives and non-exclusives. Can't recommend it enough
Excellent points and I agree 100%. What are they waiting for? Hell, even a "Nintendo Direct" style video can go a long way in helping them.
And as long as Vita games get announced, this will continue to be a feel good thread for Vita owners
One of the best looking games on the Vita for me this year. Can't wait to play it! Glad you enjoyed it mate.
Worry not DaSorcerer7 In Japan, the Vita is a different story and it is pretty successful (constantly 2nd behind the 3DS in sales, and plenty of content get announced for it).
With folks at XSEED, Aksys Games, Atlus, and more, you can expect a very healthy amount of localized games when the game is good enough
Well said.
Good idea redcrayon. The only reason why I abandoned this idea early on is cause of what you said as well - many vague release dates. Many Vita games get sudden release dates.
Great catch Volken! Adding it up. Thanks!
Very good points friend, many of us in this thread, if not ALL of us, feel exactly the same way. What will it take for Sony to notice this issue?
Thanks for sharing redcrayon
At first it was not guaranteed to come out as the dev was trying to find a way to make it work on the Vita, this is great, great news as Papers, Please is supposedly an excellent game.
AWESOME. Thanks for sharing Infernal Monkey, added it to the top of the thread
Great! Q-Games have a great track record indeed!
Again, while I am among the first to agree about the abysmal support by Sony on the Vita, the PS4 is another story entirely. Despite how successful it is, you don't see that complacency from Sony like you do on the Vita.

Add Forget-me-Not to the list.
A gorgeous pacman rogue-like mashup from nyarlu. It's what Pacman would look like if those pills were real and the perfect fit for Vita and that screen.
Play the free PC version if you're not convinced
I added that already fog

Damn OP.
Sony should pay you for the amazing public service. Damn, if they just link this thread on some big screen on Gamescom it would have been much better than what Vita got, hahaha.
