SkyMason Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) It's never too late to get a Vita but it is too late to have been part of the 'Vita ExperienceTM'. Ah yes, I still remember the day I picked up a brand new Vita with Uncharted and Wipeout. I did not realise at the time that Sony would give less of a crap about the console than I did about the deuce I had this morning. The Vita is a brilliant machine but Sony has treated it like the ugly child it locked up in the attic with which it every now and then feeds a bucket of fish heads to keep it alive for a bit longer. It was never going to beat the 3DS but there is about half a dozen first party titles worth playing on the Vita. I love the Japanese games that get put out on it but for every decent game like that there's 10 absolutely awful ones. I still love the vita (I mostly use it to play PS1 games now), but man did it suck seeing it put to waste like that over the years.

TekkenKing10 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 The best part about the Vita is playing PS1 games on the go. They look so smooth, better than the PS3 versions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kishnabe Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 PSVita has been on a roll the last 2 years. So many great games to play. You should get one before they stop producing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNumbers Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Welcome to the club. Hope you claimed all the PS plus Vita games despite not having the system. That should give you a nice big backlog to start with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Property_Damage Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 The vita is a beautiful gem, I recommend getting it Even though I've played mine to death and have kinda out grown it..(kind of) I have about 50+ vita platinums And still have about 20 games for it that I haven't even touched yet, So in other words, there is no shortage of games to play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auto-Tomato Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 It's still the best handheld on the market imo, it's a great piece of kit. It's understandable why Sony backed off the Vita, and won't be making any more handhelds for the foreseeable future, and that's the encroachment of the mobile market...even the DS was suffering last time I checked. However, what Sony foolishly did, was to lose the Monster Hunter franchise, seriously. Had MH remained with PS then the Vita would have undoubtedly shifted many more units than it has, especially in Japan, but in the West too. The mobile market would still have hurt but those bigger sales numbers would have brought better support. It is what it is, but there's still plenty of great games on the system, and given all it's woes it's testament to how good a handheld it is to have such loyal and passionate supporters. I have a 32gb memory card, I find that to be more than sufficient, and I'd also recommend one of these: It's an extremely comfortable grip. My Vita, original, and grip are old now, still in perfect working order, but there are newer grips for the newer model and ones that can charge whilst attached, the above shape is the one I found to be best though, feels like holding a big controller lol Enjoy your Vita! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfBatman Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 It's never too late for buying any console. Actually not old consoles have more benefits - huge games library, more cheaper games and usually developer already know all technical issues and develop new version. Yeah, I know, a lot of people hate slim version of Vita, but anyway. Vita's Memory card - OK, it's really serious problem. Very expensive and every day more difficult to find. Vita gaming - absolutely different gameplay comparing mobile games. Even if you play small indie games anyway it's totally different. Physical buttons and sticks - main benefit comparing smartphones touch screens. i have PS vita already 5 years. In this year get Slim version (it's awesome, really). And during this 5 years never thinking like "PS Vita is dead" or "PS Vita haven't games". Every time when I finish some big title, OK, what kind of indie game we get with last PS+ update... oh, very interesting... oh, it's great game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerey5196 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 go for it! I'd recommend p4 Golden for sure. Honestly there isn't a huge library BUT you can play a ton of the ps+ games cross play on there. I like to sit on the toilet and collect trophies. You should try it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEPharmacist015 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Purchased a used Vita on eBay in the last 6 months and I've played it more than my PS4. P4 Golden and Severed are two Vita games I'm working on. Been some good cross-buys from PS+ like Day of the Tentacle Remastered. Plus Remote Play is pretty good for any PS4 games not on Vita or just finishing games on the go when you don't have time to sit and boot up the PS4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El_Shubi Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) Completely worth it,well done man, especially if u get a good size memory card because psn store specials are very good. Also very important point to consider is that alot of people say that jap and indie titles are the bulk of the library but for someone coming into the console new, theres a massive library of titles that will help u get the value out of the console first. Hours upon hours of gameplay await you, have fun Edited May 9, 2017 by El_Shubi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
