This wasteland-like situation is what happened in Japan last year,it's really not good for everyone involved and I don't think they can cover it with Vita PSNDD only games because there is nothing too(unless if they surprise it with super big huge thing like Minecraft Vita or some shit of that size).
Agree.
but we are talking about the complete lack of new software for Vita in the west this year, Vita still need new games.
Minecraft will be big on the Vita? I doubt it.
What? Minceraft is big but it'll not be big on the Vita IMO.
A game is a game is a game, isn't it? I'm sure there are plenty of people who haven't played the games on their original systems, right? I see no reason to discount any game simply because they were originally on another system.
Fuck, that's what's wrong with the industry, the consumers. Throw a big name on a turd and it sells. Mind you a few or most of those are probably bundle sales. Not a great advert for your new system when you boot that shit up though.

I'm having so much fun in that thread xD
360 version funded by Microsoft, so port of that is out of question, but Pocket Edition is not exclusive to anyone,a Vita native port is possible...if Sony pay.
Sony refused to pay Rovio and port Angry Birds,and what happened? Birds sold very well on the 3DS in the west, popular/well known franchises sell well even in system not doing well in that region.
Sony should change their stand and attitude on paying devs and porting.

I'm having a good time with Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation. Really fun. Buy this game if you haven't already.

But ports don't count
Yes,with Vita current situation it desperately need new games (and steady stream of them too) even if the system get something big as Minecraft,and small ports for tiny niche stuff like DOA,Muramasa or NG2 wont cut it.

Any game i havent played is new to me - and im not worried about the gap btwn now and may. Will let me catch up on backlog and play ps3
I got it with the bundle and really enjoyed it. I went into it expecting an AC game, and feel like I got exactly that (only on my handheld).
I got banned last week for 'port begging' ( http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=47079345&postcount=19 ) but I'm seeing port talk go on around here frequently...I'm a bit confused. Did I just piss someone off?
Because really, this Minecraft Vita talk is good stuff. I think that would totally help the handheld out.

I keep hearing such conflicted opinions about this game.

This threads is not about "Vita's situation", it's about games and services. We should keep on topic.
Port begging bans seem to be a coin flip. You'll see a lot of PC port begging go rampant in threads for Japanese games without repercussions.
Best to stay clear whenever you can.
They are discussing a possible Vita port in the Vita thread = contributing to discussion. Port begging can be annoying and derail threads.
We aren't asking for a port we are discussing how a port would sell etc
Asking for a port on a community site isn't going to get one (for instance, the ArmA devs weren't in that thread taking requests). I figured the discussion around the possibility is implied.
But I don't want to go too off topic.

Yes, I agree. Feels like the console game in my hands. Ubisoft did a good job with it.
I heard that too but, I bought it anyway and its really good.

One thing that I'm praying for is so Vita gets the inevitable FF6 remake.
Screw FFX

Thanks for that clarification. It took me by surprise.
I think the bigger issue is that the post you linked is completely vacuous - it's just a naked port beg with no redeeming content.
It could be seen that way.
Just like the post in the same thread saying those devs should go back to prison.
Sorry to continue the derail. Is there a section on this forum I can talk up discussion on this?
this is just discussion about ports for a system in thread that is not specific for that game.
it's not allowed if it goes this way: X game for Y system announced -->Thread posted--->enter thread ---> post "how about a port for Z system". (which count as derailing the thread)
should be a tag on the cover art for all of the AssCreed games (excluding AC2)

does AC Liberation got really bad halfway through the game or something? I've played it for a few hours and really enjoy my time with it, got sidetracked by Persona though so I haven't gone back to Liberation again.

Dead or Alive 5+ is a big game, to me - I bypassed it's recent 360/PS3 release - after seeing a Vita incarnation will arrive in March.
I never really got into NG (didn't have OG XBox) - until it arrived on launch for Vita. I loved the NG2 demo I played on my 360, but never picked up the game. It's arrival on Vita in 23/22 days, is quite huge for me as I've become a fan.
------ See, big games are relative. To some people, some ports of current gen games are not relative to their interests. I consider the 2 games big, as they're from respectable series' and I am REALLY looking forward to BOTH of them, even more so than Soul Sacrifice.

Nope, if your read the in game bios or journal pages - those fill in story gaps - the ending was fantastic.
I LOVE that game. It's AC, not AC lite.

I agree. Thats the best description of the game I've seen yet. AC3L isnt some half made or dumb down AC game.

Angry Birds is already playable on the Vita as a Minis release.
