It's funny, as a person who likes games, I'm genuinely happy to hear about these games coming to the Vita. I'm pretty excited. Then I check this thread and I'm blown away by the whining. "OMG these are INDIE games, I can't play them! Waaah!"
Good god. They're just fucking games, incredible graphics or not. |
While a Xbox gamer woulsd agree with you, there is a legitimate cultural difference between both fan groups.
PS fans, are defined by their love for the allmighty "console, AAA, exclusive, retail, gamepad based game"
Vita indie titles largely fall outside those 5 criteria.

Not true. Playstation grew as a name because it welcomed a variety of all games. The Playstation gamer was thus known for that.

Thats a misconception, given how the PS brand evolved because of 3rd party retail, AAA, gamepad exclusives. PS3 made it with 1st party retail, AAA, gamepad exclusives. PSN never had the selling power of XBLA this gen, as their best games were critically acclaimed but never had the selling power of XBLA heavy sellers, nevermind Minecraft.
Seems PS mega hype throughout the years are defined by console heavy hitters from my criteria. MGS4, LBP, Uncharted 1-3, The Last of Us......
These indie showings strike me as padding, to buy time for their big guys to make those games of the 5 criteria. Many of them are still recently finishing or done PS3 versions, they need time to ramp up their first PS4 game.
