Sony Gives Six Reasons Why You Should Gift a PS Vita This Holiday

"Stumped on gift ideas for your nearest & dearest? Here are 6 reasons why a PS Vita makes the perfect stocking-filler "

It's turned into an indie system. I can do that stuff on my tablet on a big screen. Remote play is nice when it works. Remote play isn't enough to get me using my Vita again though...

If you don't want to game on your phone or tablet but need the game in your hands and you don't like 3DS' more youthful marketed titles then get a Vita.

It's great for the PS eco system.

Shineon3085d ago

Stop telling the truth, your killing fanboyz

@Apollosupreme

I got a Sony tablet Z and tried the games that are available for the Vita on the tablet... but nah! it ain´t the same.

Apollosupreme3085d ago (Edited 3085d ago )

They keep showing up to vote disagree while offering nothing to the conversation. I'd love to actually hear why I am wrong or how I am failing to see the value of the system now going into 2016 over a tablet, phone or 3DS.

Dont plan on selling my Vita but damn, it's getting XCOM now and I'd be excited for that if it weren't already out on almost every other hand held not called a 3DS. When I look at what's coming for Vita I see nothing that excites me or wouldn't be a better experience on some other platform. I am keeping it for my late 1990's-early 2000's off and on JRPG craving and that's about it... But let's forget most of those are on tablet now too... I don't play them on tablet because Sony doesn't offer an emulator for tablet to enjoy my PSN purchases. Maybe one day...

Vhampir3085d ago

Get a vita if you like to play Senran Kagura's touch events in public, with high volume. That'll be entertaining.

Seriously, if you're a brainless sony fanboy, get a Vita. If you must play Persona 4 Golden, instead of Persona 4, get a vita. Else, get something that has a future. Sony is putting everything into PS4 and PSVR, they don't care about the Vita.

Apollosupreme3085d ago (Edited 3085d ago )

@Protagonist

Did you hook up a DS3 or a DS4 or are we talking touch screen controls? If you need physical buttons there are really good options for tablets out there.

@Vhampir

Sony's VR is a much better investment to those who have a PS4 if they're considering a Vita. I agree.

The best handheld ever. It is absolutely the perfect gift for someone who loves Playstation and/or top quality gaming on the go. Sony may not be making more AAA games for it, but the big library of existing games and the huge amount of indies still coming to it makes it an amazing game console.

The only downside is the expensive memory cards.

DarkOcelet3085d ago (Edited 3085d ago )

I am very tempted to get one but i wish Sony would support it more by bringing more 1st party exclusives .

ShadowKnight3084d ago

I use to have one! Its great it just don't have enough support and that's the only reason why I sold it. I think Smart Phones, IPads, and DS is the reason why it struggled.

G20WLY3085d ago (Edited 3085d ago )

The memory cards are too expensive, but shopping around nets better prices.

It's a great device though. If you have a PS4 and PS+, they're so cheap these days it's almost a no brainer. I remote play my PS4 before bed (and at hotels) and use the PS+ games or cheapo PlayStation classics when I'm on train/plane/taxi journeys. I love it.

Protagonist3085d ago

@Boomtonic

I agree!, it´s the best gaming handheld created, but I still only got my launch 4GB card and never had the need for more. I buy almost all my Vita games retail. So unless you go all digital, I don´t see the problem.

1. money in their pockets

6. money in their pockets

There I fixed that for you.

UserNameIsNotTaken3085d ago

Could be said about anything really

MegaRay3085d ago

I love Vita, but Sony are the last people to give me reasons to "gave" a Vita. I can understand why they dont make AAA for the system, but not mentioning it in big events like E3 and so on is so stupid, and now they act like they care...

Protagonist3085d ago

I agree they/Sony were pretty shitty with the Vita at E3, but there was plenty of Vita at the Playstation experience a few days ago.

MegaRay3085d ago

PSX is for playstation fans, which they know what a Vita is anyway. But the gamers attend to E3 will must likely never heard of a Vita except as a "dead" system, or in a "no games" joke. They should show gamers that Vita is still exist and alive, instead of hiding it as if they're embarrassed of it.

[Exclusive] Xbox Reaches Agreement With Batman: Arkham Trilogy Creators For A New AAA Game

Ex-Rocksteady directors' Hundred Star is collaborating with Xbox Game Studios Publishing for its first-ever AAA game.

Lightning775h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Highly doubt it'll be an actual Batman game that IP belongs to WB Games along with other DC property.

They're making an action adventure game. IMO I think it needs to be another Marvel game despite MS already have Blade as that action Marvel game. Dead Pool? Punisher?

Realistically it'll probably be a new IP entirely.

The_Hooligan3h ago

I agree with you. I think I'll be a brand new IP. Now it could be a superhero themed, kind of like infamous. Speaking of which, Suckerpunch needs to make one after Ghost 2.

neutralgamer19923h ago

would love a infamous collection for ps5/pc

Lightning773h ago

I definitely think it'll be super hero themed game 100%. Something MS needs in their portfolio.

ThinkThink1h ago

Please, no more super hero games.

PhillyDonJawn40m ago(Edited 39m ago)

Dead Pool or Punisher would be amazing!!!
Don't tease me like that man lol. I see them making a new IP that's like an arkham knight clone

MIDGETonSTILTS173h ago(Edited 3h ago)

I hope these devs needed support to start/finish (like Stalker 2), vs are basically done with the game but wanted to secure an exclusivity-bonus because they know Xbox needs a system seller (like Titanfall).

It’s a bit strange that they’d rather invest in this game than Tangoworks’ TWO canceled projects; or just trust a single dev from their existing massive stable of talent to emerge with a system-seller themselves anytime soon.

Either way, it is just cool that we’ll likely get a new IP from the geniuses behind the Arkham Trilogy. I wonder how creative they’ll get now that they aren’t married to an established franchise.

darthv723h ago

This is about the former co-founders of Rocksteady and their new studio. So naturally it makes people think its Batman related with the way its worded, even though its not.

-Foxtrot3h ago

Exclusive? Sure

This year alone Microsoft has changed their plans so much with Xbox regarding multiplatform releases as they step closer to just being a full blown third party publisher and it's only been 4-5 months, imagine where we'll be once this game is finished. It will be a completely different landscape.

ThinkThink55m ago

I don't think MS will ever go completely full 3rd party with all of their games. I can see them looking towards expanding their own mobile store and moving into Mac as ways of expanding. I'm sure ms will bring more exclusives over to ps and nintendo, but I don't think it'll be as many games as you think it will. I hope I'm wrong.

Lightning7721m ago

The ever contradictions thoughts and actions of MS definitely says otherwise MS changed up so much on the past 6 months of the year I lost count.

Though I'm more declined to believe they also won't go full 3rd party also.

But.

This year they're having Renaissance a super bowl of gaming with Gamepass this year. BO6, older ABK games, Avowed, Indy and other 3rd party exclusives all to grow and expand gamepass. If these games don't grow the service or grow only a little bit. Then you can fully expect MS to hit the red button and put everything everywhere. Satya will have full Xbox take over doing what he wants from that point on next year.

It's up to Xbox to advertise these games and gamepass in the next 6 months or so get the word out.

purple1012h ago

Spawn (as well as master chief) are the only characters I associate with Xbox. Are there more I can’t remember?

rlow11h ago

Gears is another big game one.

purple1011h ago

Yeh big game, do you know the name of the lead character. Or team of lead characters. I don’t

rlow11h ago

Marcus, Dom, Cole Train. And I can’t remember the fourth.

Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica Remakes are reportedly in the works, not Resident Evil 1

Industry insider Dusk Golem reveals that there is no Resident Evil 1 Remake in the works. Instead, Capcom are reportedly in active development of Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica.

-Foxtrot1d 10h ago

RE Zero would be better to do first over RE1 because they can tie the story into RE1 more.

The original RE Remake was weird because Rebecca never mentioned anything about what happened in Zero and it felt so disjointed because Zero was developed during the Remake and they clearly didn't share any notes with one another.

Cacabunga9h ago

Wise decision. 2 of my favorites!

Knightofelemia1d 8h ago

Give me Dino Crisis dammit Capcom

TGG_overlord14h ago

And all it took was +24 years + a phone call from me lol.

GotGame8186h ago

LOL! A phone call from you? ROFL! They have been remaking RE games for YEARS! It was a matter of time!
