@themcnoisy Some of the PSP library is available to play on Vita not even close to all of it. To be honest that doesn't even change my point, to me a consoles greatness isn't measured by the amount of old game it can play that I've already experienced it is the new games that make the difference and the PSP absolutely beats the Vita out in this regard.
@get2sammyb I only become slightly bothered when I look at my PSP collection and see how many amazing games it had, GTA, MGS, GT, FF: Dissidia, Kingdom Hearts and so much more. Vita was on track and had some great game KZ: Mercenary, Gravity Rush and Tearaway but it will never match its predecessor in my eyes which is a shame as I think it is the better console out of the two.
Was he popping off at Sony or just making an observation about the industry in general hmm, seriously this is a bit click bait.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi True plus a plethora of games that aren't Mario, Zelda or Pokemon which you would know if you actually owned or played a Nintendo system.
@get2sammyb All very well and good but doesn't change the fact Sony are throwing money albeit not for actual game production to keep this a PS4 console exclusive which is just a bit lame, I don't think this is how Shenmue fans envisioned how the third entry would be handled.
@get2sammyb I remember them saying at first that it sold well and met expectations, then they basically 180'd that when Wii U sales started to dwindle.
The Vita just like the 3DS started off at to high of an initial price I mean $300 for a system which didn't even include a memory card which was required. Then came the lack of proper marketing then the lack of support, honestly his reasoning is flawed and pathetic considering that the 3DS exists there are plenty of releases on the system that went the grand route and sold well it just boils down to the fact Nintendo put in the work and Sony decided not to.
@get2sammyb There were only two blowing my mind moments for Sony this year for me though, pretty much everything shown was solid but I wouldn't say there were 4/5 mind blowing things shown.
It was good nay very good and easily best conference so far this year, but best conference of all time no. The pacing started really well Last Guardian looks like it will be amazing Horizon looking promising Uncharted looked like Uncharted (which is never a bad thing) MM are doing their trademark nuts thing (which I'll love) SFV is looking smooth (those animations) and No Man's Sky just feels so huge that I'm not sure what to really think (except that it will be awesome).
Why I feel it wasn't the GOAT bored of the constant time spent bragging about exclusive betas/dlc/editions/etc, I don't care that FF7 is getting a remake, I love the game but honestly just at the point where any remake doesn't interest me unless I've not played it. Another thing was the fact that overall there wasn't a ton of stuff shown (imo), Shenmue 3 being a kickstarter was also something that bothers me a lot I just feel like bigger named developers are really starting to abuse it as an easy low risk solution when that was not the original intention of the service (oh well).
Overall though this may be my favourite Sony E3 conference but it really is hard thing to decided and I just that you two might be having a knee jerk reaction.
Looks cool and could be brilliant but I just have a feeling Platinum won't put in their A game just like with Legend of Korra, I'm hoping this isn't the unannounced game to be honest.
If I was to answer honestly I'd like to see a game that pushed the Vita to the edge of its limits (as I felt it still had so much potential) but at this point I know it is just indies and some localised japanese games, I'm content with the situation
@get2sammyb Not always the same people complaining about each thing though. Plus UC2 MP rocked and 3 was also quite fun had some fun maps like the plane one.
1 hasn't aged too well (still fun though) 2 and 3 are still ace but man PS4 first party wise is becoming the remaster system, I just think all these remasters are coming too early.
@get2sammyb Capcom may not have done the PS4 port themselves but surely should of sent someone over for quality control to make sure it was tournament level standard.
@ShogunRok If the problems are as bad as mentioned above and Capcom try to force this into tournaments in its current state players will definitely boycott, framerate and lag are just not something that is tolerated for something as precise as a fighting game.
Yep PS4 is the most powerful console, great but actually having a great library will always come first which I'm feeling Sony can't see.
@Link41x No the Vita is still clearly the more powerful system by a wide margin.
Each hardware manufacture is constantly working on the next gen of consoles this isn't new or surprising that ideas/concepts would be thrown about at this very moment in some office somewhere.
@rjejr @Get2sammyb Fifa hardly changes year to year so they might as well milk it on every possible console given it seems to sell decent on old consoles like PS2/Wii and PSP.
"Ubisoft's moving on" And nothing of significant value was lost today, honestly enjoy their games but not enough that I'd feel the need to go 8th gen (technically already own a 8th gen system).
Edit: Didn't Ubisoft only release two games on Wii U in 2014 Just Dance and Watch_Dogs, with Watch_Dogs coming out months later then the other versions so 1% ain't even surprising.
For that kind of price I'd expect another full games worth of dlc, honestly the best example in the last year of how to do dlc right would be Mario Kart 8.
Tbh it could be interesting if its about a Kid (Master hand) growing up playing with the smash characters in toy form and as time progress with each game so does his attachment/perception.

Re: German Football Star Takes Amazing Action After FIFA Player Smashes PS3 Controller
Its like the equivalent of a normal person throwing a penny away so I doubt he put much thought into other then showing up the numpty complaining.
Re: Review: Batman: Arkham Knight (PS4)
It would be an 8.5 to a possible 9 if it didn't have so much batmobile forced in, initially a fun addition became just boring towards the end.

Re: Sony 'Really Wanted' That Call of Duty: Black Ops III Deal with Activision

Re: PS Vita Firmware Update 3.52 Increases System Stability
I'm sure we'll get another meaningful update............... that removes more app/features probably.
Re: Lighter, Eco-Friendly PS4 Hardware Launches This Month
Now I feel more conflicted between this Batman bundle or waiting closer to Bday and getting MGSV bundle, decisions decisions.
Re: Sony: PlayStation TV Is Hard to Explain
Might buy one when they're £20 in a flash sale or something but just wish Sony had released cables to hook my Vita to the TV like PSP had.

Re: Ryo Hazuki's Ghastly Shenmue III Character Model Will Totally Improve
They need to work on the voice acting as well, it was fine 14 years ago but now it is just terrible.
Re: Round Up: Batman: Arkham Knight PS4 Reviews Are Bat Crazy
Very close to just buying the PS4 Batman bundle really want to play this plus summer so I have free time.
Re: Feature: We Grade E3 2015's Press Conferences
@get2sammyb Nintendo just (sob) swan dived off a cliff onto a stone beach, at points it just felt like some announcements were just trolling.

Re: Round Up: What Did Sony Announce During Its E3 2015 Press Conference?
Horizon looked amazing, I don't think the conference was GOAT but definitely up there with the best (a hard one to decided tbh).

Re: E3 2015: Star Wars: Battlefront PS4 Gameplay Looks Like Hoth Stuff
Looks awesome but this is the kind of situation that I'll wait for reviews.
Re: E3 2015: Platinum Games Is the Robot in Disguise Behind Transformers: Devastation

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - E3 2015 Edition
Smash Bros, new character dlc tomorrow plus summer tournaments preparation.
Edit: I actually like the new layout it works well on my phone.

Project Morpheus will defo get a live demonstration and I'll have my popcorn prepared.
Re: Talking Point: What Role Will the PS Vita Play at E3 2015?
If I was to answer honestly I'd like to see a game that pushed the Vita to the edge of its limits (as I felt it still had so much potential) but at this point I know it is just indies and some localised japanese games, I'm content with the situation
Re: Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection Ditches 3D Support
@get2sammyb Not always the same people complaining about each thing though. Plus UC2 MP rocked and 3 was also quite fun had some fun maps like the plane one.
Re: Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection Ditches 3D Support
And my original comment still stands, this ain't worth £40 especially without the multiplayer.
Re: Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection Bundles Exclusive Access to Uncharted 4 Beta on PS4
I like the Uncharted games but honestly to me this ain't worth £40 for 3 old games I can easily play on my PS3 right now.
Re: Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection Ventures to PS4
1 hasn't aged too well (still fun though) 2 and 3 are still ace but man PS4 first party wise is becoming the remaster system, I just think all these remasters are coming too early.
@Jaz007 Well not exactly they added ODST.
Re: First Impressions: How Does Pokémon Maker Game Freak's PS4 Debut Fare?
I'll probably get this on release, also does anyone else think Game Freak hate Nintendo home consoles?
Re: FIFA Is Skipping a Season on PS Vita
Bit of a blow but most of the Vita fan base is content with indie and Japanese games.
Re: This Is Where You'll Find All of the PlayStation Games at E3 2015
Wondering if they'll be surprises or mostly 3rd party stuff this year.
Re: First Impressions: Just How Bad Is Ultra Street Fighter IV on PS4?
The game is like 8 years old I just don't understand how they botched this port so badly.
Re: Sony: PlayStation Vita Is a Legacy Platform
Sony should really make a 3000 model that supports standard micro sd cards.
@supergurr 3DS will have lifetime sales of 65-75+ million by the time it is discontinued so I'd say handhelds still have a place Sony just flopped it.
Re: FIFA 16 Makes History by Adding Women's National Teams

Re: Potential Outrage Brewing as Ultra Street Fighter 4 Launches in Crap Condition on PS4

Re: Potential Outrage Brewing as Ultra Street Fighter 4 Launches in Crap Condition on PS4
FGC don't take kindly to sub standard versions, if Capcom don't fix this quick the PS4 version will never see the light of day at tournaments.
Re: Sony Hypes PS4 as the World's Most Powerful Console in Commercial
Yep PS4 is the most powerful console, great but actually having a great library will always come first which I'm feeling Sony can't see.
@Link41x No the Vita is still clearly the more powerful system by a wide margin.

Re: Sony to Put PlayStation's Full Weight Behind No Man's Sky
I feel Sony could be destroying a potentially great series by hyping a game up so peoples expectations are too high.
Re: Japanese Sales Charts: Vita Overtakes PS4 as Not a Single New-Gen Title Enters Top 20
Nice to see Xenoblade Chronicles X getting close to the 100k, hopefully the west gets a solid release date at E3.

Re: PS3 Owners, It's Time to Upgrade to the PS4

Re: PS3 Owners, It's Time to Upgrade to the PS4
"Ubisoft's moving on" And nothing of significant value was lost today, honestly enjoy their games but not enough that I'd feel the need to go 8th gen (technically already own a 8th gen system).
Edit: Didn't Ubisoft only release two games on Wii U in 2014 Just Dance and Watch_Dogs, with Watch_Dogs coming out months later then the other versions so 1% ain't even surprising.
Re: Assassin's Creed Syndicate Slums It on PS4 from 23rd October
Will wait two months after release to pay half the price and have the patches already released, otherwise color me excited.
Re: Batgirl Will Be Playable with Arkham Knight's Extortionate Season Pass

Re: These Mass Effect PS4 Teases Honestly Get Worse
I think its more for the developers entertainment at this point.
Re: People Are Going Ape Over This PS Vita Trademark
I'm sure the market has been screaming for more Vita consoles also seems to late for triggers unless this only functioned on PS Now.
