Eurogamer Hardware Test: Playstation Vita TV

Genius idea, half-baked product, or both? When Vita TV was first revealed on the eve of the Tokyo Game Show, the reaction to the screenless version of Sony's underperforming handheld was uniformly positive.

Very nice micro console, already better than the Ouya.

However, it might have to undergo some re-branding before it's able to be sold in the US. It might be best to distance itself from gamers and go towards the mainstream to boost sales.

As long as the advertise it as a media device (like an alternative to Apple TV.....) but say it can play games and connect to your PS4 (the later being extremely important if the PS4 sells bucket loads) it could do quite well.

Price is key though

Mikey322303798d ago

Its going to fail even though i dont want it to.

The thing doesnt work right.. It uses a touch screen interface copy and pasted from the vita, there are a lot of issues with that just of in itself. It has compatibility issues with many games.

I think they should make it have a more modified OS, thats more specific to the needs of the device.

Then they needs to advertise it as such.. which they wont. this is sony.

FriedGoat3798d ago

I kind of agree with mikey.

The Vita OS needs a overhaul. It needs to be more like the PS4 OS. I still can't believe we have to deal with these horrible bubbles with almost NO information.

Looking forward for it to come to the best, could remote play on a TV in lunch break at work :D

ruefrak3798d ago

You can't review the VitaTV just yet. A big selling feature for this is the PS4 remote play which isn't available yet. Right now it's very tied to Japan and the services offered there. However, once it does come to the West and the Remote Play functions are patched it, this is going to be amazing.

I also really want it to be able to play any Vita game. If the game is not optimized for the VitaTV, warn the player but let it still play.

Vita tv is going to do big in U.S $100 to play with a ps3 &4 controller will be amazing

Wow Again?

Digital Foundry: Compared to PS Vita Remote Play and Nvida Shield, the Wii U GamePad Scores 13 days ago

Lol, Yes i read the entire thing, and i must say while quite entertaining.

Its an Apple's to Orange's testing to make, or imply its an Apple's to Apple's test.

Richard Leadbetter being used as a source for an unbiased test and even to try and claim its Unbiased; is like asking Microsoft to say that there is not one part of Linux that does not infringe on any of Windows Patents.
LMAO

Look again, at this review on the PSVita TV, that by the way is made with software just for the "japanese Market" but yet he's doing test's on it right now, outside of Japan!

but still lambasting the product the same!

Great going there Leadbetter

Did Sony drown your Cat or did they eat your cup of ice cream or something?

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5229d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212129d ago (Edited 29d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5228d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5228d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani29d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum30d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman29d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim29d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

I disagree Batman
