Sony's marketing teams really have been on top form. Playing on their strengths, capitalising on Microsofts weakness'. That said, I don't think the PS conference was all it could be this time around. I have a seriously hard time understanding why they would get someone who obviously seems to have a hard time with public speaking to head the segment which the majority of gamers rolled their eyes at, the Sony Entertainment segment.
I have no interest what Sony's Vita twitter guy has to say anymore, 40games coming to vita means nothing if they're not good enough to show or mention at e3. I wanted Vita to really soar at this e3 and it hurt to see it tossed aside so brutally.
Thanks to PushSquare for their coverage of the conference and I particularly liked the livechat you guys had running this time around!
I loved Rayman Origins on my Vita. I was somewhat worried that this would be a shoddy port when I first heard about this, but so far it looks like an enjoyable gaming experience. I must say I particularly enjoyed Globox in the Splinter Cell regalia! This is a definately purchase for me!
I've not particularly been following the game on other consoles though. Does anyone know what "exclusives" other consoles will receive?
Won't tons of titles just go off the radar and be lost forever due to this? I myself have bought or imported used games that are otherwise unavailable, which then prompted me to purchase the sequel new. I don't particularly like the network code system thats currently being used on Vita either.
This ones definitely got potential. Totally seems like a system seller to me! (At least in Japan) Is this confirmed to be the big release that was teased earlier then?
It looks great! Part of me is hoping for a love story driven rpg that rivals ff7 ff10, but since i've been completely addicted to Soul Sacrifice recently, I wouldn't mind if it was another hunting game.
Fingers crossed for Android x Human relationship story. The whole barcode/numbers thing could be awesome story-wise. I.e They find out how to see how long people will live, then some people are born with extended lives (explains the million years on the baby) then they imprison them.
I actually really love Soul Sacrifice, in some ways I think I like it moreso than MH. That said I would like to see a MonHun game developed FOR the vita and not a 3DS port, I might be slightly biased but I do think MH would fit the vita better than the 3DS. Although as said before I really cannot see a reason why Capcom would even bother, I find the hardware sales of 3DS somewhat astounding really. When I tried the console out instore I thought it was quite horrid, not to mention the headache I got from the shoddy 3D, which really makes me ask myself why is it selling so well?
I'm interested to see what the western sales figures will be like for Soul Sacrifice. Hopefully it'll show devs that if they do put some effort and funds into making exclusive psv games that it's worth their while.
I really hope this stays on the Vita. It's got so much potential for greatness it would be a shame if the title went cross platform as it would get less attention. I really do hope that more devs get on board.
I think i might be the only person who likes the sorceress
@ShogunRok
I think I'll be getting it for the vita too. Although it looks like will be a pretty fun to play locally with mates on ps3 too. Tough choices!
Personally the Titan exclusive doesn't phase me whatsoever. I definitely wouldn't base a £400+ buy on such a trashy game, but then again I fell out of love with the constant stream of low grade FPS a while ago. I'm sure it will work out for them anyway though, tons of kids love teribad console fps, and N-Americans seem to favour xbox over ps.
All said and done I won't be purchasing the new xbox.
I have my fingers crossed for a physical eu release eventually. I dunno about everyone else but I like the idea of paying less and also getting something to keep on my shelf. As much of a sony fan I might be, I'll never like their price points for digital media.
I've really enjoyed all the BlazBlue games i've tried. Complex, gorgeous and very fun. I really enjoyed the Vita release too. When I finally buy a ps4 i'll definitely be buying anything Arc System Works release. I didn't go for the persona 4 arena yet though as i still haven't got around to playing persona 4 golden, but i'm sure i'll get around it it eventually!
Won't be getting it for the Vita, more looking forward to Soul Sacrifice. Then again, I haven't played any of the Killzone games. Console FPS just doesn't do it for me.
I'm going to be staring at the empty space where my YLOD ps3 used to be, holding my unopened copy of Ni No Kuni, weeping uncontrollably while waiting for my new PS3 to be delivered.
So I finally get around to ordering Ni No Kuni. Next Day Delivery. I figure since I'm going to be playing for ages I might as well give me phat ps3 a well needed clean. Unplug it, give it a good hoover. Plug it back in. YELLOW LIGHT OF DEATH.
I got my copy of Ni No Kuni this morning. It was the first time looking at a game box made me feel like crying. Why Sony Gods Why?
Played the original Bit.trip on steam and it was pretty great. I kinda liked the way the original looked a bit more than this, but it's exciting to think about playing this on the vita

Paying £180 to make a point is preposterous.

@get2sammyb Yup, they're hitting it for six.
Re: Equip an Umbrella for This New Rain Trailer
This looks stunning! I simply cannot wait to play this one. Japan Studios really have been pushing it to the limit lately!

Re: PS4 Developers Required to Support Vita Remote Play
The Vita really is a great bit of kit, so I'm really glad to hear about anything that could possibly increase the user base.

Re: Freedom Wars Sets Its Sights on Eight Player Action

Is this confirmed to be the big release that was teased earlier then?
Re: Reaction: PS4 vs. Xbox One - Moving in Different Directions
It's going to sell a bucket load in it's home region. On the other hand, from it's current showing it would be a tough sell in Japan.
Re: Talking Point: How Has Xbox One's Reveal Affected Your Anticipation for PS4?
It looks gigantic.
Re: Sony Unleashes Freedom Wars on PlayStation Vita in 2014
Glad to see another PSV game! Keep 'em coming!
Re: E3 2013: PlayStation Vita Set for 'Surprisingly Big' Showing in Los Angeles
Personally, I'd prefer them to stop pushing PS3 so much.

Re: Unsurprisingly, Japanese Gamers Want a Monster Hunter Title for Vita

Re: Sony: There's an Amazing Big Title Coming to the PlayStation Vita
@Snipers-Origon
If it's MH4 it's going to be a 3DS port. I think I'd rather it was a new title.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Five
I'm really loving Soul Sacrifice at the moment! (Except for people trolling you and knocking everyone away from the boss sacrifice).
Re: Sony: There's an Amazing Big Title Coming to the PlayStation Vita
@artemisthemp that would be a big title!
Probably wouldnt' bring in new customers but would make alot of current owners happy
Re: You Don't Want to Get on the Wrong Side of Dragon's Crown's Amazon
Is there any news whether this will get a physical release in addition to the digital release?
Re: Sony: There's an Amazing Big Title Coming to the PlayStation Vita
I guess it could have something to do with this teaser site.

Re: Talking Point: Are Cross Platform Games a Help or a Hindrance to the Vita?
I can't really see them bringing MH to the vita, as much as it hurts to admit it.
Re: Guide: How to Succeed As a Sorcerer in Soul Sacrifice
It seems like if you want to unlock all the black rites you should level to 40/40 first, then specialise however you like.
Re: Talking Point: Are Cross Platform Games a Help or a Hindrance to the Vita?
I'm interested to see what the western sales figures will be like for Soul Sacrifice. Hopefully it'll show devs that if they do put some effort and funds into making exclusive psv games that it's worth their while.
