Which PS Vita titles are you looking forward to playing at launch? Let us know in the comments below.
I’m with Dakan on a couple of points (tho I can’t say I’m fortunate enough to have hundred$ to spend on games): No New RPGs? Feh! The only two items that caught my eye were the Uncharted game (hear it’s a great series) and a new Silent Hill (kind of dread it too, I’m old and reluctant to accept change). I’d love to see more 40-80 hr epic RPGS, but maybe Apollo4x is right – maybe they’re a thing of the past, tho I’d prefer to think that perhaps they are rather a generational pendulum-swing away from recrudescence. Naturally, most of the Vita’s saga has yet to unfold, but for now I’m proud I still have my PS2 and PSP.
Anyone have an eta on when gamestop will adjust prices instead of just raising and gouging us on the memory sticks?
Will the first edition ps vita’s little deviants be a full retail game or a downloadable?
gamestop isnt changing the prices of the accessories….
My shopping list for February: wifi ps vita, ultimate marvel vs capcom 3, gravity rush, uncharted and a 32gb memory card. Good thing I preordered most of it!
Sony’s line up is ok, but if they wan’t to make the ps vita fly off the shelves they would make these games im going to list for the vita.
1) Champions Of Norrath return to arms HD for Vita
2) Mortal Kombat 9 for Vita
3) Gauntlet 2 HD for Vita
4) Make a New Heavenly Sword for Vita
5) Socom 2 HD for Vita & Ps3 cloud
6) Kingdom Hearts HD for Vita
7) Devil May Cry New Game for Vita
8) Ratchet & Clank up your arsenal for Vita
9) Onimusha2 Samurai’s Destiny for Vita
10) SSX Tricky for Vita
11) God of War for Vita
12) Soulcalibur a new one for Vita
These games would sell the Vita, So if anyone from Sony reads this, please at least make the top 5
@sevyn7. I agree with you but MK 9 is already confirmed and GOW is all but confirmed. I would love to see a DMC on the Vita maybe one with Vergil as the main character, but I would prefer a new KH enstead of a port, and the same goes for R&C. But as I said I agree with mostly everything you wrote. By the way is their any chance to get a bundle of the Vita(that isn’t the first edition) with a memory card?
i’m looking forward to playing these at launch:
Lumines Electronic Symphony
disgaea 3
and for games i wish would be released at launch:
djmax technika (which at one point was rumored to be launch)
Phantasy Star Portable 1 and 2
persona 4
@sevyn7, aren’t most of those games developed by 3rd party companies? i’m pretty sure sony cant FORCE them to release titles on release date. as much as you claim it would sell more systems, and it probably would, i don’t really think sony can do anything about it.
I’m looking forward to Dynasty Warriors Next, Unit 13, Resistance: Burning Skies, Silent Hill and Virtua Tennis 4
BUT I have to say wow 100 bucks for a 32 GB card! You guys are going to burn for those prices… That’s throwing sand in there with no lube! Ouch!!!
Socom 1 or 2 HD to be the first 3G or 4G multiplayer game for the holiday season this year announced in summer after the bugs are worked out would be the smartest thing Sony could do! Not sure they’re that smart though…but would make huge headlines
