Eh, that's bullshit. Let the customers decide what they want to do. I have almost 40 psp games so I sure as hell would save money by spending $5 to $10 for each game that I have rather than spending $10-40. |
You know what would save more money? keeping a hold of your UMDs and playing them on your PSP...?
|
I get that, but it would still be so nice to play them on Vita.

I used to be against playing ps2 games on my ps3 because my reasoning was, my ps2 still works so what's the point. Whilst I love my ps3, I do sometimes find myself missing some ps2 games like Persona 4 and Final Fantasy X. Whilst I now occasionally scowl at my ps3 for not being able to play ps2 games, I am however too lazy to put together my ps2 and play said games...
I don't think the same conundrum applies to the PSP/Vita relationship. it hardly takes a minute to load up a UMD on your psp so I really don't see the point of this. You don't need to set anything up, just have your psp adequately charged and you are set. I get the feeling that like me, whilst people will occasionally hunger for PSP games, people won't play that many of them once they start building up a vita collection. Failing that, you are still allowed to play the psp downloadables you had so...it's not a big deal but this is just me I guess.

You don't see the issue with having to keep two portables charged constantly and having to carry around two portables? One of which is a very large portable gaming device. It isn't a big issue if you only play your psp/v at home or on very short trips. But what if you are using it as a portable? Going on a trip and want to play Uncharted and FF7:CC? Yea well take both devices.
Backwards compatability has been a standard in the portable industry for a long time now. The fact it doesn't exist is pretty ridiculous. The fact a system is in place where you have to rebuy your own game is even more ridiculous. The fact Sony aren't allowing Western gamers the option to use their ridiculous service is so deep into the rabbit hole of ridiculousness that it boggles the mind.
Also keep in mind that the Vita makes PSP games look nicer. So instead of carrying one device and playing games on it that look a little better you can carry two devices and play games that look a little worse.
It isn't a HUGE deal. However it is a way that Sony is comically far behind in the handheld market. It is also a pretty good way of telling your customers you don't really care about them. I'm sure Sony could actually have figured out some proper way to do backwards compatability if they had wanted.

For owners of a PSP and DS, did they have this dilemma? Surely you carried the one that had the game you were playing at that moment in time. Do people really play that many games at the same time? On hand helds, I only play one game at a time, I must be a raindrop in the desert because this complaint comes up way to frequently for my liking.
Also, regarding the size of the Vita, if people can carry around an Ipad, I think the Vita will be fine.
|
The thing is that Sony already has the program to allow users to cheapily transport their UMD games to the vita. It isn't a debate about why doesn't Sony create a program to let us download out UMD games for cheaper than on the store, it is WHY doesn't Sony bring that outside of Japan. Their reason is oblivious, I see a lot of value in UMD Passport outside of Japan.

I guess ultimately, it's down to them (lulz obviously)I personally don't but hey we'll never know.
