I am not ignorant of Vita releases.  I would still say it has no games.  

 

In that case sure there are plenty of gamez. 

Pick one or the other; but it can't be both.  Either it has games, or it doesn't have games.


For me it has no games.   For people whom like the 4 types of games listed it does.  It can be both it just depends on the taste of the person you are asking.

Does Sony have a target audience to begin with? Because I'm pretty sure in the west they don't. It's not the same as Smartphones/tablets and the 3DS.

Right now Vita owners are really hardcore Playstation fans or gamers who just love Japanese games. Therefore, that's one of the reasons the Vita is selling so bad in the west, especially in the US. Western consumers prefer generic shooters (Call of Duty, Battlefield, Titanfall), action games (Assassin's Creed, Infamous), sandboxes (GTA, Saints Raw) wrpg's (Skyrim, Mass Effect, Dragon Age), and so on.

Vita has, I think, just a couple of them, so I don't really think that right now it's attractive enough to the self proclamed "hardcore gamers."


Oh man, would I be happy if Vita got such games!! I mean, I fail to find time to play the games I already have, but this is EXACTLY what I want to get in the future. I want a GTA, InFamous, I want a TES game, a Witcher game, I hope the next Borderlands comes our way as well, I'd love to play Diablo III, etc.

 

Also I think that one problem Vita has is that the games come is such limited numbers. When I go to the shops, there are almost only the same old games available - Uncharted, Lego Batman, Rayman, etc. All old games. If all the new releases actually hit the stores in reasonable numbers, that would draw people's attention.



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.

Imo, the root of all this problem is that western developers has mostly ignored handheld development. Not even the 3ds got western 3rd party support. Nintendo can survive on first party titles alone, but sony has always relied on 3rd party to sell their devices. Simply put gaming handheld in the west simply isn't viable anymore.

Hey if you truly want to brainwash our children like you did back with Pokemon you need to make Youkai Watch become a thing here =P

Oh and  I would really like it if you hurried up making the Nervegear a real thing, then you could truly control our minds

That would be an ignorant statement. "It has no games that interest me" is completely different to "it has no games". However if you can't find a single game on Vita that appeals to your taste, you must have extremely specialist tastes.

Your 4 kinds of games all seem to come down to "Japanese" too. Which again, pretty ignorant. It might not be overflowing with them. But Vita has a very well rounded lineup, there is a decent example of pretty much every genre now on Vita. Some are far better represented than others but the Vita does have something in those categories that is worth playing even First Person Shooter and Third Person Shooters. Racing games and Sports games are also covered pretty well.

What you seem to be after is "high budget title" but budget doesn't have any baring on quality, if Killzone Merc etc aren't high enough budget for you to make them worthwhile, I would say handheld platforms aren't appropriate for your gaming tastes.


It's not ignorant. It's a very common and derisive way of of saying it has no games that interests me.  No one needs the that interests me tagline except people sensitive about the library of their console of choice. I wouldn't need to say in my opinion or that interest me after any other statement I make on this forum because it's implied these statements are of my own opinion or in relation to me unless otherwise specified.  

My friends call me a game snob all the time.  So my tastes are particular.  

I don't need it to be big budget. I don't need it to be pretty.  I need the games to be high quality. For me that tends to mean not lacking in content, fun and free of bugs that aren't fun.  If the bugs are fun they can stay. You are the only person so far to even getting close to equating budget with quality here.  

I'm not looking for shooters personally. If it has a novel seeming setting or mechanic I may check it out.  There are plenty of other types of 3D action games outside of FPS and TPS. I'm tired of people thinking Killzone and Uncharted can replace all 3D action games:

Assassins Creed 4
Tomb Raider
GoW Ascenscion
Batman Arkham Origins
Kingdom Hearts
Beyond 2 Souls
Metal Gear Rising: Revengance
Diablo 3
Lego Marvel Superheroes
DMC
Resident Evil Revelations(well I dunno,  I heard this one was more classic which I assumed meant more survival horror and less shooter)
Ratchet & Clank into the nexus
Deadpool
Drakengard 3
Armored Core: Verdict dAy
Young Justice: Legacy

Not the best examples but a list of what PS3 got in 2013 that fit what I'm talking about that don't fall into those categories of FPS, TPS, Sports, Racing.  Other console sell well because they have MANY, GREAT examples of the most genres.  People chose to say Vita has no games that interest them in a derisive manner because PSP managed to get more games and of greater variety.  It had twice as many higher rated 1st party entries than just Unchrted and Killzone in the shooter category to boot.  

I can't believe someone on here accused me of not liking Japanese games cause I'm ignorant. I LOVE Japanese games and prefer them to most western games.  We just have very different definitions of what good Japanese games are.  For me look at Japnese publishers in the late 80s to early 00s Like Cacpcom, Konami, Square, Namco, Nintendo etc.  I think them not being as good today is why all consoles are failing in Japan be they home consoles or handheld ones.

They're giving a lot of grants or tax breaks to companies who export their products overseas?

Just tell them to announce SAO for the west because I already cancelled my pre-order* :p

So? We know it's coming as it's been teased with their holiday card. They tease new games every year in it, and Shinovi Versus was on this past year's card.
