Just completed Gravity Rush.  Can't find the Youtube app on PSN store though.

The Vita seems to fading faster, then it originally planned for?

I am hoping a Christmas with a handful of solid games and a price cut makes the Vita relevant.

I agree.  There's supposed to be an upcoming gamer's day or something where a bunch of more Vita games are announce, plus, the TGS is supposed to focus more on Vita as well.  And I know we'll be having Ys Celceta coming out here by the end of the year, or early next year, even though Xseed hasn't announced it yet.

I think Call of Duty in the US and Europe will shift tonnes of units, and if Sony don't have Capcom on board for the next Monster Hunter (dual analogues!) they pretty much deserve to fail.

Those two games will sell the console, and I'd be surprised if we don't see another of each.

Then there's Metal Gear, which will probably show up at some sort in a new guise (the HD collection isn't enough), Kojima or not.  I mean Sony will probably get quite a few of their major IPs out;

Gran Turismo (3 years late as usual) - this could be really good.  Might be a tad big though.
God of War
Final Fantasy
Metal Gear

There's probably a few more I'm not familiar with, but these are games that sell consoles, and seeing as Uncharted is probably the only AAA title so far, the more of these we see, the faster the ball will start to roll.

Just walked into my local not Toys R' Us played it awhile,

Gravity Rush -they use that outline effect, that is used in DBZ PS2, with the background being regular, 3d. It was a demo, so I do not know their is a story, all I know is your main character is a half naked, woman, in torn clothing who forgot where, or what she was doing last night. I am kinda shocked because the story with the talking cat felt like a rip-off
from Shadowrun talking dog, which rip-off from Cyborg2. A woman in the middle of a wholesome town dressed half naked, but one thing fun I discovered about the game is ability to push people over and knock things down????

Little Deviants - Another Demo, in store. I honestly felt that was the best game. Basically the evil bomberman army is transporting the criminal monsters they caught, on a raid. So the monsters, escapes to a planet of primarly europeanish ( White ) humans. In return Bombermen robots,
somehow have the ability to raise the dead, raises the corpses of the planet.

So now you have to deal with the Bombermen, Monsters, and undead threw an assortment of mini games. The game I was playing was basically a shooter, where you move the camera around ( yes it has a camera built into it ), shooting the monsters, and robots in their WWII
esque, planes.

In general it is a bunch of mini games, where bomberman, bomberman monsters ( who can resemble pac-man ghosts ), and zombies ( because I guess raising the dead is a cool thing ), in an all out war.

Keep in mind, it is not bomberman, it just reminds of bomberman, and the robots looks like those robots I got for Christmas back in 1991. But they are blueish.
...........

Otherwise the Vita memory cards cost like 29.99 USD??? That little tiny thing cost almost 30USD. The screen protector cost 10USD.
............

Note I am not buying a Vita, Mario, or Santa St. Josphenia

I hope no one will mind me reviving this thread. It's only been dormant for a few months.

I just got a Vita recently. I'm enjoying Ys and Uncharted. The demo of Resistance seemed pretty good too, despite lukewarm reviews I've read.

My main gripe, as I've pointed out in the Ys Vita thread, is with the system's resolution. It seems games look a lot better when running in the system's native resolution - otherwise aliasing issues quickly become noticeable (as in all of the games mentioned above, though Uncharted and Resistance still look pretty good overall). The system's native resolution is only 960x544 (which actually looks quite good on that small screen). Seems to me that it shouldn't take too much power to run a game at this resolution, so I'm hoping most games in the future will do so. I've played demos of games running at this resolution (Power Smash 4 and Dynasty Warriors Next) and they look great.



EDIT: Uncharted is upscaling from 720x408 to 960x544. Bloody shame.

Makes me wonder, if when they do a revision of the Vita, if they'll do any upgrading to it.  I remember the rejoicing when they added memory to the PSP 2000, shortening the amount of loading, not to mention a TV out, that's the main thing I'd like to see.

I'm hoping for a TV output, but they're definitely not going to increase the resolution, if that's what you had in mind.

I can see them adding internal backup memory though.

EDIT: Of course this is assuming the system even lasts long enough to warrant a second model.  :wink:

I've just seen that Call of Duty BOD has 10 solo missions.

Seriously, a campaign mode consisting of 10 missions.  What a crock of shit, I'm keeping my damn money.  The console versions had a fairly short campaign, but that's just f*cking crazy.

I hope Sony keeps doing cross-play with all of their games.  It is a ridiculously good deal to get two games for the price of one.

I think a PS3 and Vita bundle is in the works too.  If priced right, that could help the Vita big time.

I read that the Vita is slightly more powerful than the iPhone 5 for gaming.  That means it has a year to sell, because once iPhone 6 comes out and has more power than Vita, it will be tough to market.  I think Vita will be fine if it has a good holiday 2012.

Games I play on my DouchePhone 4:

Calendar
Phone
Netflix
Harry's Lap Timer
Facebook
Messages
Clock
Safari (sounds like a game, but isn't)

The Vita is a better game platform than a phone...not much of an achievement. .

Not being able to use sticks and buttons was a real eye opener for me...  Touch screen "joysticks" suck.
