Forums - Gaming - Are there even any worthwhile Vita games coming out this year?

What Noble said.

It's going to end up like a niche platform, which isn't bad. Gravity Rush 2 seems cool, that SS game seems okay for those who like that, Borderlands 2 isn't going to push too many units. Anything else? There's those really niche JRPGs that Vita gets as well.

Can't blame Sony at this point, any one of their Vita teams could pull off a game on PS4 that stands a chance at much greater sales.

Tearaway was a hit with the media, yet it flopped badly.

Did anyone expect Tearaway to sell well? I think around 500k with digital sales isn't quite a flop. I certainly wasn't expecting much more

Anyway, the half-announced (and definitely not dated) Gravity Rush/Daze sequel is the only new game that I am looking forward to. Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD is probably the game I going to be spending most of my time on. I've already pre-ordered the PS3 version and I'll be getting the Vita version to (shame about only 2 platinums, I wanted 4!). But there's nothing else

With free PS+ games, Tearaway already bought, Batman AOB a possiblity and a few digital PSP and PS1 RPGs saved on my system (2nd playthroughs of Guacamelee and Persona 4 Golden for platinums) I should be kept busy for a while. But the future certainly doesn't look great, even if I'm enjoying play Jak 1 HD again (having played it through when it really came out, via a BC PS3, then HD on PS3 last year....)



We are still waiting on those localisation announcements that Sony has been keeping secret.
PSO2 is still announced for 2014, so theres a chance it will come out aswell.



I didn't realise Tearaway did that well, that's probably break even right?

Still I think Vita owners are gonna have to make do with only 1 or 2 games like that from Sony each year.



 

Aside from maybe Gravity Rush, there's nothing worthwhile for the Vita.

But to be fair to the Vita, a couple of the PSP games you've listed were released 3+ years after the PSP launched, and the Vita is barely two years old. Once it gets a price cut, some more redesigns and a bigger install base, you should see more support. When it's all said and done, Vita should have a good library but not as good as the PSP.



Around the Network

When looking into what is available for Vita in the future, maybe you should look back at what has already released this year that you might have missed. Killzone Mercs, Tearaway, Batman Blackgate, Injustice, Lego Marvel released from Western Studios. Then we had Soul Sacrifice, Muramasa Rebirth, Ys:MoC. There is bound to be other games that you have missed that was before that. LBP Vita, Unit 13, New Little King's Story, P4G, Zero Escape, Guacamelee, Smart As, Mod Nation Racers Road Trip, etc.

Going forward we know we are getting from Japan: Conception II, Soul Sacrifice Delta, Ragnarok Odyssey Ace, Toukiden, Dangan Ronpa(sp?), Gravity Rush 2, Freedom Wars, PS Vita Pets, Natural Doctrine
Western Developers: Borderlands 2 Vita, Dead Nation Vita, Invizamals, Minecraft, Murasaki Baby.

Not to mention that Vita will be getting PS Now along side PS4 allowing it to play PS3 titles via the Cloud. What the Vita lacks in traditional exclusives it makes up for in spades with the fact that it is the only handheld that you can play all of THESE games on.

"It's going to end up like a niche platform, which isn't bad."

Yes it is. A Sony console shouldn't be niche.

"But to be fair to the Vita, a couple of the PSP games you've listed were released 3+ years after the PSP launched"

Yeah that's true. PSP came out in 05, Peace Walker, Kingdom Hearts and a God of War came out in 2010, FF Type 0 in 2011.

Though by 2008 it still had the GTA's, Crisis Core, Daxter, R&C, Chains of Olympusand MGS Portable Ops.



"Is it sad that a 2 year old port is my most anticipated game for the system?"

Not as sad as my most anticipated Vita game being a game I've had on PS2 for 12 years and is gathering dust in my cupboard.

"You work for North Korea's public relations team, don't you?"

No I'm just an ordinary guy from England that didn't buy a Vita to play anime games involving small Japanese girls with rainbow coloured hair.

"If you like 7/10 to multiform games, then ur set for the vita"

That's no good for me unless it goes to PS+ because I'd always choose the PS3 version because it's better.


What games have you played already?



All of these

Nearly all of which are from PS+ and some I already had on PS3.

Wait why is Arkham Origins labelled as PS3/Vita?
