GGXXAC+R wasn't released on Uk store for Vita, i'm sure Zen uniated published it as most of ArkSystems games in Europe... I follow them on twitter and facebook, and I remember them talking about the release and later about the update for the PS3 version...

I scorn them about Vita's not having Online play, I though that when PS3's updated to AC+R vita would be updated with Online crossplay with PS3, but NOPES :/ really a shame ArkSystemWorks doesn' add crossplay between Ps3's and Vitra's versions of their games... like Blazblue, NOT EVEN CHRONOPHANTASMA WILL HAVE IT!!... just cross save -.-

Can't complain too much. So far I'm generally happier with the EU exclusive physical releases than US exclusive PSN releases.

What do you guys think about Valve´s new handheld Steamboy? It´s way more powerful than the Vita.

Is the Vita really doomed now?

Vita was always doomed by the lack of Sony support, specially SCEA. I'm not sure about this new handheld, it won't have a single exclusive title but it will feature a very nice library of games, so it sales performance will be very interesting to watch and hopefully it will be a massive. Also, no d-pad? No thumbsticks? Not sure if this handheld is my thing and I'm a massive handheld fan!

What's that? A handheld that might play some decent Western games? I'm in! If Vita's lineup can't shift consoles though, I don't see this managing much better either sadly.

Remember, everyone says the reason Vita fails is the games are all available on home consoles with big screens. So a handheld device that only plays games designed for big screens is doomed. Ironically, it sounds awesome for my needs!

It will either have AMD's Mullins or Intel's BayTrail-T, and will run on SteamOS... So I would say nope.

The controls may take a bit of time to get used to, as they are a bit different than regular controls. And since it can play Steam games, it may actually sell quite well.

And I also like the idea of playing some Half-Life on the go :D

Hey, maybe it'll sell really well and encourage western handheld development which will be multi-plat with Vita!

:(

Seriously, though, that's actually pretty cool.  Team Fortress & Left 4 Dead on the go?  Yes please!

If anything the Steamboy (sounds familiar?)  will fill the void that has been plaguing the Vita since it´s start, western games.

I wonder if it´ll be compatible with game mods (Black Mesa pls).

It's not Valve's.
