Ganepark32 Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 I have to agree that the Vita is looking mighty impressive right now. Wasn't all too fussed awhile back but the whole 3DS launch fiasco has me now seriously considering getting a Vita when it launches because going off of that small list of confirmed titles that Grazza posted, there's several games there I'd happily buy and know I'll enjoy (Uncharted, LittleBigPlanet, Modnation, Sound Shapes (this looks ace) and it looks like there is strong third party support, which is something the 3DS is severely lacking at the moment. I'm just hoping that things like the rear touch pad and the touch screen aren't shoehorned into the games unnecessarily. Obviously, I'll wait to see the final launch lineup but I think there'll be enough there one day 1 to justify my purchasing one.
Hero-of-Time Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 If that list is accurate then for me it has to be Uncharted, Hot Shots Golf and Gravity Rush. Hot Shots Golf looks outstanding ( loved the PS3 version ) and it shows off alot of the cool features of the Vita aswell.
heroicjanitor Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) I think it looks great, hot shots golf will be a fun portable game for me. Golf is pretty much made to be portable imo, since it is split into holes. You can just take it out, do a few then put it back. Uncharted has amazing graphics, hard to believe it's a portable.

Hero-of-Time Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 I seen this on Gaf the other day and the apps on this thing are fantastic. It really shows how far behind the 3DS is in terms of features. Stay constantly connected to your games and friends with amazing apps on PS Vita. LiveArea Screens Each game on PS Vita will have its own LiveArea Screen, which is split into two zones. In the Info Zone you can find out about the latest downloadable content for the game you're playing, and see tournament events that are taking place. In the Communication Zone, see how your PlayStation Network friends are getting on through automatic status updates. You'll be able to see if they've earned a new trophy and leave comments for them, too. The LiveArea Screen is the best way to see what your friends are up to and let them know how well you're doing in your favourite PS Vita game.

ReZourceman Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Makes the 3DS look like a piece of stone age excrement.
flameboy Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Makes the 3DS look like a piece of stone age excrement. harsh but true....
nekunando Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 I don't find Vita interesting.. ..there, I said it!
MadDog Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 I don't find Vita interesting.. ..there, I said it! What don't you like about it? I think it looks ridiculously amazing.
ReZourceman Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 I don't find Vita interesting.. ..there, I said it! Do you not like hardware with flawless graphical capabilities, endless control options, innovative software, cutting edge online facilities and a sleek and stylish design?
Hero-of-Time Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Don't mind nando. He cares very little for Little King's Story and Monster Hunter. His opinion about anything related to gaming are invalid.
The Bard Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Dude, Nando's favourite fps is Goldeneye. Ain't shit that he can say that anyone should pay heed to . I had a ridiculously wahjah dream about playing Wipeout last night. Might have something to do with my having watched about 20 minutes of footage from Wipeout 3 for old times sake, just before I went to bed =p.
Cube Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Has the PSV Uncharted game improved immensely since the rather rubbish E3 demo? If not, I have zero interest in the console.
Daft Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 What was rubbish about it? It was a surprisingly good demo as far as I could see.
dwarf Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 I thought it looked a bit clunky and uninspired myself. Seemed to have the same barebones mechanics/look of Drake's Fortune.
Daft Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Yeah, there wasn't much going on but I suspect that's because it was probably more showing off how the Vita would work as opposed to Uncharted.
dwarf Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 But it would've been in development for a long time before now seeing as it launches so soon, I'd be surprised if it wasn't ripped from an actual segment of le final game. Either way I'm not sold by a handheld Uncharted. System has mahoosive potential with the right software though.
ReZourceman Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Yeah I'm not exactly shitting bricks over Uncharted GA, but I'm obviously going to get it, basically for shits and giggles/Uncharted story fill in.
Serebii Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 The Vita to me does seem like an impressive piece of kit technologically, despite the crazyass pointless back-touch control. The thing that's holding me off getting one is the game lineup. Nothing in it appeals to me at the moment. I hope this changes but still, until then...
ReZourceman Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 You have never played Uncharted, Super Star Dust or Disgaea, have you? :p
Serebii Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Last two, no. I've played Uncharted and found it massively over-rated
ReZourceman Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Uncharted or Uncharted 2(?), because I think both have appropriate levels of praise.
MadDog Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Last two, no. I've played Uncharted and found it massively over-rated That hurt. The second one ...that's, just...unbelievable. What didn't you like?
Cube Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 You have never played Uncharted, Super Star Dust or Disgaea, have you? :p I have no idea what SSD is, but Disegea is just a JRPG, right? Also: Serebii. You're as wrong about Uncharted 2 as I am about Pokémon (from your perspective). I don't think it's so much the lack of games, it's more that the majority simply don't appeal to me.
