Ares_Peverell Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I saw a Vita in my local pawn store and was debating getting one with a few game. I just want to know if it's worth it or if I should just wait to see if they release a new one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mr_Fluffy_Pants_ Posted February 9 Popular Post Share Posted February 9 I got one for Christmas and I’m quite happy with it. There isn’t many exclusives though, and anything multi-platform is surely going to be better on ps4; but if you want to get trophys or just play games on the go it’s great. If you enjoy trophies there’s only 4 PlayStation systems you can get them on, and the vita is one so. Definitely worth it in my opinion just for the variety aspect and being able to get trophies for every system your able to. Also a lot of great ps4 games have separate trophy lists on vita if your the type who likes platinuming the same game multiple times. As well if you’ve been a ps plus member for a while, or just have a big digital library on ps4, you will likely be pleasantly surprised like I was with how many vita games you already own without even realizing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CairdyBoyBeats Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I got mine for the first time at the end of last year but pretty much only for Uncharted Golden Abyss. Personally I love it because it also allows me to play my favorite game God of War 2 on the go or if there's a power cut. The library doesn't seem that great though by mind standards. So maybe do some research first to see if there's lots of games you'd actually play. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHIL_DADDY1 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 If you like trophies & you are away from home - then yes, they are worth it!!! A new one coming (doubt it) or not, totally WORTH IT!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TheDarkKratos Posted February 9 Popular Post Share Posted February 9 1 hour ago, Ares_Peverell said: Is getting a VITA worth it in 2024? Yes. I have 2 x Vita's. Both an original + a Slim. Sony have rocks in their heads for discontinuing support for it. I don't care what anyone says, the Vita is awesome. Most definitely get yourself one. Very cool handheld. Slim has a bigger screen, and longer battery life too. I rarely use mine at the moment. But I still love them. Lol 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJohnny346 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I got my first ever Vita last month and I’ve been having fun playing with it. The HD screen is nice and it’s a nice counterpart system to the 3DS. Only downside for me is that a lot of games I’m interested in have unobtainable platinums these days because of server closures in games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConAir Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 There is no official announcement if there will be a new Sony handheld. I think the Vita is worth it, but offcourse memory cards and physical games are most of the times expensive unless you find a bundle. Crossbuy games from Playstation Plus titles or PS4 crossbuy deals can make up for that. Maybe you can think about when you want to use it. I used a lot when I was away from home or on public transport. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evers_cl Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 It is, the downside its there no discounts on the Sony website but there are planty of games you still can find physical. Plus, it works as a second controller or to use it as remote gaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iriihutoR84 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 If you have the money and want a portable, buy something more recent. Both portable PCs and the Switch will offer vastly better libraries than the Vita. If you want a portable but can't spend more money than what a Vita costs, maybe go for one. Just be prepared for long load times and poor performance in multiplats and very few exclusives. The library is pretty slim in general if you want the best of what gaming has to offer. If you don't specifically have a large need for portable gaming then you will probably not enjoy the experience compared to playing on your home consoles and the Vita will collect dust.

Jeanolt Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Unless you're a hardcore trophy hunter, it's not that good. Most games are available on PS3/PS4, and those who aren't you can play in an emulator (or wait a few years until it improves a bit). It would be nice to get the trophies for Uncharted on Vita, but I can live without it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NxtDoc Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I think so. The Vita has quite a bit offer, even in 2024. Solid experiences, a cool feature set albiet a little under utilized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HonorableAbe Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I got a vita in my junior year of high school off of a friend, and I still have it. It still works very well and I should probably go and buy some more games for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plafix68 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I bought one a couple years ago and barely play it. I honestly would have been okay if I didn't end up getting one. I get the appeal based on what others here have said. But for me, there aren't enough exclusives. Most of the games I can just play on another Playstation console or on my Switch for portability. It is sort of fun to have another system where I can get trophies so I'm sure I'll keep playing it again from time to time. If you see enough games that you think you'd enjoy playing on it and like playing handhelds though, then go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remiferia Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I mean, Vita has Civilization Revolution 2 Plus, if you like Civ. And, so many JRPGs and VNs, if you're into these! The only sad thing about it is, as far I'm aware of, that you can't get Plants vs Zombies, I mean the original and actually good one, anymore these days.

Dinniestar Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 100% get a Vita online store quite expensive as no sales so need to go all physical to get deals which can also be expensive but start now before its too expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittens Are Awesome Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) Sony squandered the Vita's potential. The Vita is a great machine with a great library if you push it in the right direction. Just don't be tempted by the dark side, otherwise you'll get the LB ban hammer. Sony knows and, just like with the Vita itself, doesn't give a shit.
