I'd never guess why RE6 didn't sell overly well?!

I've got Persona 3 still sitting on my Vita untouched - maybe that's what I'll play during my holiday break.

OMG yes! They're going to make Velocity into a full Vita title!!!

Yes. Yes. **** Yes!

Oh wow, this looks interesting indeed. Good find Sammy, I'm going to have to check this out myself.

This review makes me miss James.

Great review though Sammy!

@get2sammyb What?! Your the one who talked me into playing it! Haha

I think the opening cinematic is worth the price of admission alone!

I actually just tweeted this Kickstarter idea to him. I'd actually double fund the cost of the game to see the game come to life - I'm a huge BioShock fan!

Take. My. Money. Now!

Oh, it's definitely a Metal Gear title!

I don't have the time to read all of the comments above at the moment, but firstly Sammy - great article!

The issue that I see, was the Beta - it should have never happened. The character selection was weak, at best, and the ones it did allow you to play as showcased the balancing issues within the game (which was balanced for the most part in the final release). Also, unlike with DUST 514, we never saw real improvements in the beta either - so you never got a real idea of what the final game was actually like.

I was put off by the beta and had no intention of buying it. On Black Friday, I went to grab Need for Speed: Most Wanted on Vita and Battle Royale was sitting right beside it and I was like, 'what they hey - I'll give it a go. I want something different to play any ways."

Needless to say, I'm really glad that I picked it up. The final product wasn't reflected by the beta and if your not picking it up because of this, you should go ahead and grab it - you will be very glad that you did.

No. I still think there's no need for PS4.

What?!

I just cancelled my GameFly and renewed my PS+ subscription, because of the Vita being added into the equation. This just keeps getting better and better.

Excuse me while I'm off to play more inFAMOUS 2.

Take. My. Money. Now!

I just want another "Ratchet and Clank" game!

I really didn't care for All-4-One and I don't think this will be my thing either. I've been a fan of the series for a long time, but these titles just aren't cutting it for me.

On a better note, I've got Ratchet up to Lv. 100 in Battle Royale!

I just need a way to play games while I sleep. That way I can finally get to some of the games I want to — there's just to many to play!

I've completed all the missions 6-7 times now on my iPhone. Yep, it's pretty dang good! Haha

Awesome, awesome interview Sammy!

I'm really glad that you convinced me to get my butt out their and pick this game up - it's by far my Game of the Year!

I just can't get this stupid grin off of my face while I'm playing this game!

I was worried about the final product, because of some balancing issues in the beta, but the final product is as well balanced as they could possible have gotten it (I still think Kratos needs to be weakened a tad bit), but after your killer review Sammy, I grabbed it any ways - I'm glad I did too. This game flippin' rocks!

Great job as always Sammy-boy!

Music to my hears (not the ^ conversation about Vita's bleak sales numbers)!

I've been playing the pretty great iOS adaptation of Mirror's Edge and I can't wait to play a true sequel to the original - that opening theme song!!!

But it looks so cool!

Yep, Sonic definitely has the better game right now!

Drop this on the iPad for $5 and watch it sell like crazy! Honestly, I'm being serious too!

@Asher For the majority of what I've see (and said myself) the blame for Declassified's shortcoming (or Burning Skies') wasn't blamed on Nihilistic, but on Sony forcing their hands to shovel out these two games onto Vita. But you reap what you sow and Sony's Vita is now sitting at the bottom of Christmas List this holiday season because of it.

Great review mate!

Love. This. Game!

Hopefully Gameloft will bring Modern Combat 4 to Vita and save us from all this FPS garbage that's been thrown onto Vita!

Umm... no.

This is how a company should be restructuring to stay competitive and profitable. Sony's definitely cutting their loses, so hopefully things will turn around for them over the next few years - PS4 not being a massive powerhouse is a good sign that they've woken up too!

I can't wait to see what nStigate does on the mobile markets. I'm willing to bet that in a few year's time, they will be one of the hottest mobile developers out there! They've got tons of talent, but they've been short-handed by Sony for far too long.

Not only do I despise what Sony has made this developer do far far too long now, but I question why they would release utter garbage with big names attached to it on their consoles too. I've very happy to see this developer set free and I truly wish them nothing but the best!

Very good news indeed!

Wow! Didn't see this one coming!

I've got a lot of respect for Jeff and wish him well in whatever it is that he does next.

Play about 10 hours of it Sammy and you'll be set. It's a great game, it just drags on forever!

@hamispink To be truthful, he didn't say much at all about the game in the IGN review, instead he spent more time complaining about what "he" didn't like about it, while never fully explaining anything.

Great review Nathan! I've been having a blast with this one.

I'll probably still be playing Ragnarok Odyssey, like I've been for the last week and a half! Haha

Glad to see that it's finally coming to the console - it's about dang time. Now give me some trophies for my PlayStation Mobile games!

a.k.a. Typical Westerner - never satisfied with anything. Haha

"Fermenting like a fine wine"

Yes. It is indeed.

I've been playing this game for about six months now and man do I love this game!

I really don't care what order my icons are placed in.

@nathanuc1988 I'd rather see Sony's PlayStation division join up with Apple.

@3Above It is. It's a system that's being used around the world at the moment. The company I work for just did the same thing for the third time in the last four years.

Good for them. Sony has used them as little more than a black sheep in their catalogue of development studios. I hope they shine in the mobile gaming world - they deserve it!

Sad to hear them go, but I'm sure they will find a ton of success with mobile gaming.

For a unnamed indie developer to make his way in the mobile gaming world is indeed tough, but when Lightbox Interactive's game goes to launch, you can rest assured that it will be big news, just like when any of the other big company's games release on those platforms. Heck, only yesterday saw Stainless Games' Carmageddon release and it went straight to the top of the iOS Marketplace in a few hours, because of a successful Kickstarter campaign (sequel) and a bit of media attention. The thing is, so many developers on mobile platforms aren't reaching out to websites before they launch - it's their own loss, as we'd do anything to help them out if they've got a worthy product to sell.

Is anything else to be expected from Sony at this point?

Hopefully, once all of their restructuring is over they will go back to not releasing half-backed games/services (e.g. ModNation Racers: Road Trip, Resistance: Burning Skies, PlayStation Mobile, PS Vita, etc.) like they have over the past year.

Have to respectfully disagree with you on this one Joe.

I had a blast playing Derrick the Deathfin in my review and I found Derrick's metabolism (constantly depleting health bar) added a necessary level of tension to the game. Without it, the game would've been very nonchalant and well, somewhat boring.

Protip: Jumping out of the water is quite easy. Just hold the Turbo button to gain speed and propel yourself out of the water, and press circle (in air) to then give you an additional jump, that can also be used to fine-tune your aim. Also, pressing circle when barely jumping out of the water at slow speeds is also a fantastic way to get a quick, accurate blast to nail a pesky critter that's sitting on a boat, slab of floating ice, or any other random contraption that they've thrown in there.

Can't wait for GameFly to ship me my copy!

@3Above It's bat-**** addictive!

And that's (at least) 4 million let-down fans for Capcom! Haha

Ah! She not nearly as sexy without her skivvies!

Love the competitive interface that's built into the new version though. I've put so many hours into Zen Pinball 2, or better yet, all the tables I've already put entirely too many hours into, all over again.

@IAmNotWill Don't miss inFamous! It's one that's so easy to overlook, but they are absolutely awesome games. Heck, I despise open-world sandbox-styled games and I love 'em.

@Ginkgo Last time I checked, only Resistance 3 worked with Move, but it wouldn't surprise me if Move support gets added into Resistance 1 & 2 now. If you read early reviews (or even mine here) the Move controls are discussed in detail on how poorly they were implemented, but that was before the patch. They work great now! I never got around to writing a guide for it, but I did write Move guides to Killzone 3 and SOCOM 4 here and you can find them by typing "Move Guide" into the Search Bar up there.

I hated these games and I doubt that these changes will fix that.
