| Tom3k said: 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), |
You really have missed the point, I didn´t say they were closed because they worked on PSV games (that´s a very likely reason since all those games flopped starting from Wipeout2047 to Unit13 but that wasn´t my point my point was that due to the closure those studios logically they can´t work on new PSv titles which automatically leads to less PSV support even from Sony themselves). This year they closed 3 studios that worked on PSV games that still could have worked on new PSV games if Sony actually gave a damn about PSV, that´s the disappointing part of the closure of these studios with experience on the system as a PSV owner.
And surprise no new 1st party announcement at E3 and GC, instead concentration on ports of old smartphone indy games and a publishing deal with a 3rd party developer for a Nintendogs clone called Playstationpets. This is exactly what the majority of PSV launch buyers bought the system for. Yeah, sorry I can´t take such apologists seriously anymore.
