Merzbow Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 With the abysmal launch, poor selection of games and already inferior to PS Vita graphics, I think this might be the year for Sony Handhelds. Â Maybe not in Japan, i'm surprised at how poorly it is selling over there but to be fair all the console needs is a new Monster Hunter (a series which is awful imo...) and it'll sell like hotcakes.

TildeGuy~! Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 First quick opinions... Â Just had a play around with it for 20 minutes, it really is amazing. It has all the functions for a ps3 and more, gonna play Fifa on it in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUFCfan Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 For a handheld it does look an impressive bit of kit, but the price and the fact I only would want one game on it at the moment (Uncharted) means I'm unlikely to get one in the near future. Hopefully they might port over a few games like Uncharted to the PS3 after a while like they did with a few PSP games when they were ported to the PS2. Â With the abysmal launch, poor selection of games and already inferior to PS Vita graphics, I think this might be the year for Sony Handhelds. Not necessarily I don't think. The trouble I can see with the Vita is that it might struggle to get many casual buyers compared to the DS and 3DS, with cost being the main sticking point I imagine. The other thing that could put casual buyers off is the games line up. If you look at a lot of the future releases, most are based on existing console properties rather than Professor Layton or Ace Attorney type games, which if people aren't interested enough in those kind of games to buy a console they're not going to pay up to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsClobberingTime Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Yep, the high street prices are generally ridiculous from what I've seen. HMV's ones were about as shit as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â The lack of 4 shoulder buttons is what kept me from buying a PSP and what will keep me from buying the Vita. I'd get a Playstation Portable to play all the PS1 games on, but having to map buttons on touch pads or whatever is massively off-putting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a little awkward playing Fifa At first but it was surprisingly easy to get to grips with. In fact Fifa on the vita is surprisingly close to Fifa 12 in feel. I haven't bothered much with the touch controls as they're optional, though there is an interesting feature where you use the back touch pad to aim your shot on goal that I'll have a play with at some point.

King Pitcos Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Everybody who bought the Vita, how are you liking it a couple of months later? I've got no idea where my 3DS is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted April 29, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted April 29, 2012 I've got no idea where my 3DS is. Mine is gathering dust at the moment. I only bought two games- Zelda and Mario 3D- which to be fair are both bloody brilliant. But the unit seems dated already when you see what the Vita has on offer, and in fact most smartphones for that matter. Sorry to go off topic here. The Vita does look smart- what is this rear touchpad all about that I've seen mentioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insert_name_here Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Just out of interest does anyone know roughly how much these go for pre-owned, assuming anywhere is even selling them pre-owned yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUFCfan Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Looks like Assassin's Creed for the Vita won't be just a port of AC3:  http://uk.ign.com/articles/2012/06/02/e3-2...d-vita-revealed  Hopefully it will be better than those PSP ones though.  Anyone played the Gravity Rush demo? Seems pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
