| NesFe said: I love remote play but Fuck that Guy talking about Call of duty Ghosts on vita. Sony hasn't announced any first party games for the vita in the west for 2014. At this point I don't think there are any games coming from the western side. The saddest thing is that Sony didn't even try to make the vita a success in the west. In Japan SCEJ had constant bundles, a price cut, several ads over the year and marketing pushes for Soul Sacrifice, phantasy star and God Eater 2. What did they do in the west ? They just put out titles to die without any marketing and no price cut. I guess the vita will remain my import machine till the end of the gen. @krensik : I don't think Sony had any involvement in recent localization announcements. I think it's more localization companies snatching titles before Sony third party team.It's more of indirect effect for Sony wanting to get japanese titles localized, but I don't give Sony any credit for it. |
about localisation. I'm pretty sure Sony is the main driving force behind that as it is the cheapest way to support vita in the west.
When companies start to do things that are very unlikely and they haven't done before on systems with much bigger userbase than there must be a direct reason.I don't think that games like atelier with low sale potential would have been relased in the west without them.
They simply invested money like they did when they exclusived Broken Sword5(pretty good game so far)
Such things rarely happen by coincidence or as sideeffect.
