XX_FTW Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Let's remember that what is shown at the conferences represents only a portion of what is actually at E3. No, it wasn't on stage but why did you expect it to be? It will be represented on the floor and we will continue to get games for it from the same types of sources we have been thus far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Blackout_Kid Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I was tempted to buy a Vita last month. I went through all the pros and cons of getting one for over 2 weeks, but I decided against it since I could count on one hand (with fingers left over) the games I actually wanted to play. IMO, I think Sony should never have made the Vita (especially not the PSP GO). The handheld market is owned by Nintendo and mobile game companies. All that money on R&D, marketing and development costs could have been used to make the PS4 much better (better CPU, GPU, a 1TB HDD included out the gate, 4K support and backwards compatible hardware built in, etc.) Just my thoughts, right or wrong...

Daniel_Shadow170 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) Told you guys it wouldn't. Remember way back when I said my GS GM said pulling support after E3? It's a shame I will remember the vita as the system Sony f'ed up on so much potential. On a happy note Xseed is out today on the floor so the Japanese vita games will live.

Sony really dropped the ball on it. It's one reason I have little faith in PSVR. If the numbers aren't as high as they thought, how long before they distance themselves from it?

katniss1444 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Also keep in mind that there wasn't a big indie showcase or even a montage on Sony's stage this year unlike previous years, which would have been vita's time to get some acknowledgement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30 Year Old Boomer Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 This is sad, but not really surprising at this point. I do hope Sony makes a Vita 2 eventually though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab4h4r4k1 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 But VR is a part of PS4, they will not abandon that IF it works. If it does not sell, it will be scorned like Move, PSP and Vita 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowwindow7 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Not surprising but still sad Is Gravity Rush 2 even coming to Vita? Gravity Rush 2 is a ps4 Exclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar Clown Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Sure they did. They mentioned Remote Play. I don't care. I got a lot of Vita games that have tons of gameplay hours to them. I've gotten my money out of this little console, and I've got a lot more in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xionx Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 If i remember correctly it was not really mentioned last year either . And still a lot of games released between last and this E3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2V89 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 It wasn't mentioned at all which is not a surprise to me. I had a feeling they wouldn't mention it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowwindow7 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 actually it's not surprising at all, we never heard news or rumors about this cool! new IP or title will be shown in E3 2016 exclusively for Vita, but we do heard thousands of news about the new Gow, Resident Evil 7 as RE VR game, GT Sport and Days Gone as TLOU 2 which happen not to be TLOU 2.

markcavan Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) With Remote Play, every PS4 game is a Vita game! Now, if only devs gave enough of a shit to think about how they remapped their controls for Remote Play... That my friend is the major problem with remote play on the PSVita. Ether One I believe was the last PS4 game I played entirely using remote play on the Vita and it was fine. However, some PS4 games would play and could be perfect for the remote play on the PSVita like Riptide GP2 but because the developers never considered remote play with the PSVita the controls are impossible as you cannot remap the buttons. Alas, I really wish Sony would do something about that but will not hold my breath. Also, with PC remote play I feel remote play with the PSVita will become even less of a consideration from developers. On the PSVita itself, I still use mine almost daily and good games do still come out (volume and hitman go come to mind straight away) and there is plenty still in the back catalog to go and play. Yes they were also on PS4 but were ideal for a handheld. Looking forward to picking up severed soon once I finish some other games I'm playing. I sense I'll be playing my PSVita for many years to come. Edited June 14, 2016 by markcavan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had too much experience using it, but my best Remote Play experience with a AAA game was Tomb Raider: DE. The devs mapped R/L1 to the corners of the front touch pad, the back pad wasn't used at all, and it worked really well. More devs need to think about Remote Play because it is a great feature for when your TV has been commandeered, or if you want to play PS4 in bed.

IntenseFATE98 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Vita sales are really poor in some countries, so this isn't really surprising. Over here, the PS3 and Vita used to be at the same price, that people preferred PS3 over Vita. Sales became so bad that they decided to stop selling Vita's here. I guess its the same situation in a few other countries too. All we get now is PS4's and 12 gig PS3's, both of which are really popular atm. I can't even find a damn memory card or USB cable for my Vita anymore, over here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z1MZUM Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I guess it's not dead until psn stops supporting it, as much as I don't like hand held gaming the Vita proved to be an excellent system for people on the move. I bought mine from Hard Off in Akihabara 2 months ago and the memories of that and the ridiculous amount of vita games I saw in the shops make me think it has a future still.

Vytautas20 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Why it should be there? To show some kinda poor graphic games amongs all those VR and PS4 awesome looking games? Its impossible, E3 was amazing and we all can play every PS4 game on Vita though remote play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CL5INT0N2 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Not too surprising. I've had mine since 2012 and have used it maybe 15 times in total. 3DS was a much better investment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
