ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Metal Gear Acid was good on PSP although it was a bit out there story-wise. Great concept with the card movement though. Football Manager was good, Cricket Captain was good and the Pro Cycling Managers were fun when you got past the fact that they were much more limited than the PC version. Locoroco was great as was Patapon. So yeah, basically the things that WEREN'T console style games. Can't wait to try out Football Manager on the Vita. I sunk so many hours into the PSP versions.

Baddar Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Can't wait to try out Football Manager on the Vita. I sunk so many hours into the PSP versions. Any confirmed date yet? I've seen a few thrown around, one as late as December 31st. Hope it's before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping it gets plenty of hype as I'd like to see more Vita games do well, but on the other hand, if it gets a late release, I might be more inclined to pick it up alongside an inevitably cheaper PC version.

Herr Matzat Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 If you read anything like january first or december 31th it´s almost certain that it always is just a placeholder date by the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Ellis Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Albeit downloadable ones, but yes. Well, there was supposed to be Drive Club but even that was just a 'version' of the full game. I've said it before but this is where the whole PS+ vs Gold thing will be truly tested. If PS+ keeps up it's record of giving out cool shit then great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKz Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 FUCKING YES! Sonic All Stars for Vita! So psyched. That game is ridiculously priced, I can get the PS3 version for 1/4 of the price. But it seems like it'd be so much fucking fun for a portable game. Can't wait for that to release on PS+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 That was my reaction too. I'm really looking forward to playing it on a handheld system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cactus Drags Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 The thing that's always put me off about Sony and its handhelds, is the focus that they seem to have on giving you a console experience on a handheld. Motherfucker, I'll just play the console if I want a console experience. Yeah, Killzone Mercenary is a pretty great example of why that doesn't really work. It's bizarre to me, because they keep pushing for the console experience, but they never seem to focus on a genre that works for it. I think the only PSP/Vita games I found really did it any good were Peace Walker, Uncharted and Little Big Planet. And Uncharted really felt a little out of place, even though it ultimately worked. Wait, what? Killzone is the best handheld FPS I've ever played. The story is shite and predictable, but it's a lot of fun, looks fantastic. The touch pad integration is solid (rear pad controlling the sniper scope zoom is a personal favourite) and I enjoyed the mutliplayer almost as much as I would on a home console. More modes and weapons would have been nice, but it was a sterling effort nonetheless. Edit: I will say that it was a far greater experience once I'd purchased a good controller grip, made stickhandling far easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKz Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 It just didn't connect for me. Don't get me wrong, it's the closest you can get to recreating a console shooter on the Vita, but I kind of wish someone had stopped to ask if you really need a console shooter on the Vita. I feel like they missed a trick by going for the more accuracy based shooting of a game like Killzone when the overall experience would've been better from something closer to something like Team Fortress 2 or Left 4 Dead. I don't know, it didn't work for me. It was definitely a fucking great attempt, but I just didn't feel like the type of FPS they created really worked on the smaller screen. Not to mention the Vita sticks are awful for accuracy. I mean, it's not as bad as the 3DS', but still not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobfoc Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Tearaway has been getting some very good reviews. I've had my eye on it for over a year now, but I'm tempted to pick it up sooner than I originally planned as it looks really, really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
