Seems like most games are ones that were already done better on consoles, hard to get excited about another Uncharted or LittleBigPlanet when I have a superior PS3 version. Also all the motion controls seem like useless add-ons - reminds me of the way SixAxis was thrown into a bunch of early PS3 games - doesn't really add much, its just there for the sake of it. Except this seems way more invasive that it could ruin some games for me (like does Hot Shots really need touch controls?).


few things

1. those are new games, you do not get to experience them on the ps3

2. taking LBP Vita for example, it's a game made ground up for the PSV. it makes use of the touch controls and track pad real well and in include gameplay not found on the ps3 versions

3. if you think most of the games are like that you need to look at the line up again. don't let the 'name' fool you because even known IPs have been made so that adapts to a handheld game

4. it simply sound like handheld gaming isn't for you or you lack experience with it

It just doesn't look fun to me. I saw the LBP videos and all the touch screen additions just don't add anything. Same with Uncharted. Tiliting the screen to help you jump? It's gimmicky, like in the first Uncharted on PS3 using the Sixaxis to balance on logs and help throw grenades. 

I have around 40 PSP games which I still play and love the system despite it's lack of success, and I'll give Sony credit for trying something different but I can't see this handheld faring any better. The main complaints I always heard were that PSP games were essentially slighty uglier PS2 ports that added nothing to the experience. Now these look like slighty uglier PS3 ports that add nothing to the experience except for motion controls that seem gimmicky to me.

Maybe if it's just me though, maybe people will love all the touch screen additions and it will be a huge success, but from my eyes it just doesn't work.
