| Viktor said: This kind of threads go always the same way, someone isn´t happy with what Sony is doing with the PSV, which causes a really funny reaction of love confessions by fans, which per se is really creepy in my opinion, I never confessed love for any electronic device so it´s something rather crazy in my opinion, but of course that´s not enough, in the same sentence they have to say how lackluster 3DSs lineup actually is... Since I actually earn my own money and am more of a videogame fan since the Atari2600 days rather than a fanboy I actually supported and bought most gaming systems besides some exotic consoles like 3DO. Unlike some sonyfans who really have developed hatred towards Nintendp because Sony failed miserably with PSV. Also your list is really silly, the most ridiculous one beeing Monster Hunter 4 which will be released in a few days and isn´t by any means a port.
So please have fun with old ports of indy games for all I care. As a PSV owner I expected more a lineup akin to the PSP than old Android/ios games and am really disappointed by Sonys focus on cheap cash-in ports of smartphone indy games and the closure of 3 Sony studios that worked on PSV games beeing closed early this year, like Studio Liverpool and Zipper Interactive. |
So I'll start this reply in a same way as you did yours... So here's my take...
This type of threads always ends up with someone professing that he's been a gamer for xx years, since he played *insert old console here*, because for some reason that should what impress us? Give you more legitimacy as a gamer? That person usually always ends up pointing that he earns his own money... Because what, the rest of us beggs on street corners? Exchanges food stamps for video games?
My list is actually spot on. With exception that I made error which I corrected regarding the MH4. I admit I was misinformed. But back on the list, from my perspective 3DS doesn't offer anything new, that I already in some capacity haven't played on my 20 years old gameboy, which I btw from time to time still do play (My favorite handheld game is actually Wario Land - so much about my SONY fanboy-ism).
Lineup akin to PSP...? So which killer apps were released on PSP in 1st year (2004/2005). Lemme see... Crisis Core? Nope 2007, Dissidia? Nope 2008, Daxter? Nope 2006, J. D'Arc Nope 2006, Kingdom Hearts BBS? Nope 2010, KZ: Liberation Nope 2006, Resistance Retribution? Nope 2009, Gran Turismo? Nope 2009, God of War games Nope 2008 and 2010... But for some reason Vita should have all major IP's out in a first year?
For Bigbig studio I say good riddance, but they were under performing since the PSP days. And about Zipper and Studio Liverpool... You really think that PSV games were the reason for closure? Not the SOCOM 4, MAG... that bommed hard... Liverpool wasn't as much closed as integrated into XDev (since the most staff was allocated there),
