Some PS Vita Developers Weren't Properly Warned the PSN Store Would Close.

"The PlayStation Store for PlayStation 3, PSP, and PS Vita is coming to a close, and while not a lot of folks are still making games for the PS3 or PSP these days, there are still games for the Vita very much in development. And according to their developers, they found out about the PSN closures right around the same time as everyone else."

Oh stfu. they had how may years since the vita has been out? I hope no one falls for this bulls**t.

People like to talk about how the Vita failed, until it didn't fail, huh?

You are EXTREMELY IGNORANT!

Atom6661138d ago

It'll hit 10 years this holiday.

Despite millions of people spending $$$ on their premium handheld, Sony dropped its support of its own system within a few short years of release.

It was kept alive by talented and committed devs making the very same types of games reported on here.

So, yeah, it is bullshit. But not in the way you're shilling about.

MadLad1138d ago

Not only did the Vita fail, being Sony failed to properly support it, but Sony also failed the indie developers who still chose to support it.

Double fail ony Sony's part.

Doge1137d ago

This ain’t it, chief.

A real douchebag move by Sony for sure. No excuses.

Imortus_san1138d ago

Not warning the game devopers 1 year before if just madness.

Extermin8or3_1137d ago

You mean them discontinuing support for out of warranty ones and ceasing manufacture in summer 2019 wasn't enough notice...

MadLad1136d ago

Not really. Sony basically tossed the Vita to the side only a couple years in. It's not surprising you'd stop manufacturing them if people weren't looking into new ones.
That's a lot different than taking down a digital storefront, which is basically needed for the indies who were still supporting the Vita.

Imortus_san1136d ago (Edited 1136d ago )

Sony only made first party games during the Vita first 3 years, so I fail to see understand coment.

Extermin8or3_1137d ago (Edited 1137d ago )

I mean they discontinued manufacturing of the vita 2 years ago... so really as a dev you had to know the clock was clicking surely? I think you'd have to be nuts to put any money into a new project for a device that sold so few units, got such little support and had stopped being manufactured.

What a great Month!

HB 2!
LoF and Hunti are all on my list!

thesoftware7301h ago

So I don't think those 3 games make it a great month?

Thanks for telling me.

romulus2323h ago

Just recently finished playing Immortals of Aveum on PSplus extra, can definitely recommend it to those who like fps magic wielding type games, it's really good.

Elda22h ago

I own & played Immortals Of Aveum & Lords Of The Fallen already. The only game on that list I'm going to try is Hellblade 2.

H921h ago

Chants Of Sennaar is a favorite of mine, if you like to figure things out as you go, literally decipher what the hell is going on, play it it's amazing

Microsoft's Absurd Antics Have Me Scared For Dishonored And Arkane Lyon's Future

With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.

Relientk771d 16h ago

I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.

JEECE1d 13h ago

I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.

thesoftware7301d 13h ago

Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄

Skuletor1d 10h ago

Just merge them all into a single studio, have it churn out a single Call of Duty every year and call it a day, lol.

Barlos1d 9h ago

Don't be scared, you'll be fine.

Skuletor1d 9h ago

It's exputer, fine is one word I would not associate with them.

Profchaos1d 9h ago

I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige

/S it's beyond a joke right now

Xbox No Longer Has Its Head In The Game

Microsoft & Xbox have shut down Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks to lay off more workers, insinuating that they're not in the game anymore.

XiNatsuDragnel4d ago

They're headless for a long time because closing tango isn't exactly a good move

PapaBop3d ago

Ever since that cringe Kinect reveal they've never been the same. They used to make some amazing games and do great deals with third parties Early on in the 360 era they had games like Chromehounds and Shadowrun, both well ahead of their time. Now instead of nurturing their studios, they'd rather gaslight gamers and throw billions on pre existing studios. Not sure how Spencer is still in a job, I wouldn't trust him to organise a piss-up in a brewery.

Father__Merrin3d ago

We've said all along Spencer needs to go. I wish xbox went back to xbox only with new gears fable forza halo releases lots of third party releases

Those early rainbow 6 Vegas days and phantasy star universe are gone forever

S2Killinit3d ago

MS has its head in the game but the game they are playing is something different from what console gamers expect from a platform. MS’s end game has always been to use the xbox as a trojan horse.

XiNatsuDragnel2d ago

Lol that's funny well this plan they have isn't working homie

“Acquisitions always come with cuts”

343 trillion points shield activated
343 trillion percent damage negate activated
All damage reduced to 1 for 343 trillion turns.
MICROSOFT DEFENSE FORCE IS A GO

Tacoboto3d ago

Especially for Microsoft, when Booty pretty much said they didn't know how to handle that many studios.

Why even make the acquisition then.

-Foxtrot3d ago

Didn’t they make the swipe for Bethesda when Sony wanted like 6 months exclusiveness for Starfield

It’s like…chill, you got Rise of the Tomb Raider for a year.

romulus233d ago

Do they always come with senseless cuts becasue that's exactly what cutting Tango was, senseless.

H93d ago

Everyone's acting now that game companies care about games and Xbox is committing the Ultimate betrayal, they are all like this and you have just been quiet about it for far too long

Nuclearmoon3d ago

I wonder if Microsoft do pull out of the console market that it might open the door for valve to relaunch the Steambox. Competition is good for the industry but Microsoft don't even seem to be trying anymore.

UltimateOwnage3d ago

Steam / Valve are one of the few truly pro-consumer bright spots in gaming right now. Thankfully.

Jingsing2d ago

From all the money Valve make from Steam they reinvest almost 0 into creating new AAA titles for the PC platform, Absolutely no giving nothing back in that regard. Wake up.

“Your game has won some pretty significant awards and is a show piece for where we want to go in the future.”

1 hour later.

“We’re gonna have to let you go. You can’t cover our 100 billion dollar acquisition. Oh and take your awards too 👍🏾”
