People...this is NOT about Sony Bend specifically! IF sony had shown more exclusives from their western studios for the vita this would be such a non issue and I wouldn't have cared what sony bend did. But as it stands Sony bend was the biggest dev from their first party line up to make a vita exclusive game. Now not only is it possible their next game is multiplat but it's likely it's not going to be on the vita at all. Vita has no solid exclusives announced from sony western parties at ALL. We are about to hit November now. Now I understand the argument that they shouldn't announce anything now with the PS4 launch coming up...that hype might overshadow the vita reveals. But they have no issue announcing games for the PS3 tho. How does that logic work? Is the PS3 in dire need of exclusives? Will games like Puppetteer, R&C etc actually make a difference on the PS3? No. They really don't. Both Puppetteer and most likely rain also will bomb. Imho they had a better chance on vita. Now for the argument that PS4 needs the support...what nonsense. Are we actually going to entertain the thought that the PS4 NEEDS Sony Bend? Lol come on now. PS4 has TWO ND teams, 2-3 SSM teams, MM, GG (2 games), Evolution etc etc on it already! The system is guranteed to get a ton of third party support too from the west and the east. An exclusive from a small team like Sony BEND makes no difference to the overall state of that system. But it does for the vita because vita actually needs it. If sony actually thought a launch of a new system is worthy of their full attention then I'm sorry I must have missed it for the vita. Vita had two abysmal E3s..and they actually managed to have an abysmal or close to abysmal showing at gamescom this year too You can't blame third parties for lack of support. it's the hardware makers responsibility to make it happen. If sony actually thought not having any big exclusives secured such as a GTA or MH was gonna be ok for their new handheld they are dumb as hell. This logic applies the same for the wiiu and Nintendo btw. Not the third parties fault What I want from them is not a whole lot. About two western games and two from Japan studios as exclusives go per year. Not really much. Especially considering Tearaway is being made by around 11 people. That game looks great. Now will I praise them if they announce games? Absolutely. But I'm not going to pretend the current situation is ok..it's not. |
You forgot to mention it took them awhile to realize they needed a localization studio to help get those most wanted 3rd party games over from Japan. That was like a no-brainer but for some reason they only realized it this year after 30 years of Playstation. lol!
