I didn't read many reviews for Killzone, so that may be true, but I do remember IGN raving about how it was the first great handheld FPS and Eurogamer being slightly cooler to it for other reasons while still praising quite effusively what it accomplished as a handheld shooter. So the impression I got was actually the opposite: as a console title it would have been merely passable, but as a handheld one it was something special. That aside, if there is indeed a point where a handheld game can be so close to yet so far from console quality that it turns people off - a sort of qualitative uncanny valley - then it's a bad strategy for Sony to keep hanging their hat on that kind of thing instead of things like Tearaway*. And even if there is, a quick glance at Metacritic's highest rated 3DS and Vita games doesn't indicate that reviewers have been unduly harsher to the Vita on balance. I think the Vita's troubles are less about reviewers dislike of it and more about Sony's own apparent disinterest in it.

Killzone Mercenary even got the "best Shooter Award" at Destructoid, and was runner up in others pages... actually was better received than ShadowFall on PS4... but certainly I have read (from particular people) that they would have prefered to play it on Consoles... I my self think is a shame KZMerc isn't in any other console, have played all the killzone games this is by far the best. Well, since last patches it added compatibility with VitaTV, I think. So technically You can play it on a big screen, not that will look better :/
@kresnik: Sly 1 is a easy platinum.. You get a trophy just after pressingstart on the Title Screen... even my little brother (5 years then) platinued.. but the game I found it really enjoyable... and I'm waiting for the Collection on Vita to download it again and finish the second and third game and dig in the fourth...
On SSDELTA, until now they haven't said anything about the price of the game.. I hope is less than 30$ or just 20$
