Kongfucius said: On another note, I know quite a few people are a little worried about the small number of vita games confirmed for 2014, but if you have a certain taste in games, the first two months of next year alone are pretty good in some ways because we get DBZ:Battle of Z in the end of January, Danganronpa and Toukiden in mid-February, as well as Ys at some point round here (in Europe), plus hopefully it shouldn't take Squenix too long to bring over FFX and FFX-2 HD. Plus there's other small stuff I don't know about like Demon Gaze. I admit that with the exception of FF there's nothing that's going to be hugely popular, but there's 6 games there I plan to buy which we should have by the spring. I'm pretty happy about that :) |
That's the problem with Vita. It gets many good games and is really awesome for people who already own it. It's just that there is little incentive to actually buy the console and no games that could turn it into a mandatory purchase. It needs a GTA5: San Andreas Stories with graphics on par with KZ:M, a MGSV spin-off, maybe a FF game based on the assets of FF XIII? Sony should go after this, SE should agree to make a game basing on the same assets for the fourth time It's in their style and they can no longer use them to make games for PS3 or PS4 There are tons of other games they could make for a reasonable budget that would draw many people to the console, Sony should hire someone like Shahid but instead of telling him to hunt indies, he should negotiate with the big boys. They should also try to acquire ports of core Wii games - The Last Story, Pandora's Tower, Madworld, The Conduit 1 and 2, Red Steel 2 - all should be equally easy to port as Stranger's Wrath (which was made by one person as I recall?) and shouldn't cost much, hence they'd sure be profitable. I mean, they've already ported Muramasa and it's great. That could easily fix the problem of a lack of games.
Sony should turn PSV into a mobile PSX, PS2 and Wii + PS3/PS4 spin-offs with a few exclusive franchises.
Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/
My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.
