PS Vita - General discussion

[lizzie1238 538]

I haven't got to try it out yet, but I don't plan on buying one anytime soon, since there are no games that interest me yet. I don't really understand the purpose of the rear touch screen either.

 

I was looking through some reviews on ign, and it seems the Vita launch games that were best reviewed were the downloadable ones. So if you get a Vita, I'd recommend picking up a PSN card to get some games.

[Deadshot 666]

I think Vita has best launch line up for games since SNES but price drop will happen this year so i not sure when i'm going to pick it up.

-Super Stardust Delta

-Escape Plan

-Tales of Blob

-Uncharted

-Luminane(I spell name wrong and i'm not bothering to look it up)

Are all great games

I also don't care if kh games to it

[Uncle Dolan 963]

If so, wanna exchange PSN names? I bought one and I must say it's beyond amazing. Planing on getting Unit 13.

[lizzie1238 538]

I was too busy exciting over the announcement that the Last Story was coming to NA yesterday, that I almost forgot the Vita came out. I don't have one, but I have a PS3 so feel free to add me on PSN, I'm lizzie1238. The mods will probably close this thread though and say to go to the thread for sharing PSN names.

Count_DiZ. My only online game right now is Golf, though.

I will give you my PSN once a KH Game comes out on it

[wayfinder823 477]

Convince me: Is Vita really that great? Can it play PSP Games? Besides the analog sticks and the screen resolution/looks or whatever, how is it different than a PSP?

[Lt Ultima 82]

HELL NO! But psn name is grapeknighII as seen below

I don't have a Vita, but I'm 99% sure it's graphics aren't better than PS3.

You know there ARE other games worth purchasing other than just getting a Vita all just for one game ( I know this is probably too early for me to say that). I seriously don't understand that...at all. What kind of person buys a console just to purchase one game when there are a variety of other great games to buy? That's like saying you are buying the Kinect just to purchase Sonic Free Riders. I find that a real waste of money buying a console for 1 game, even if it is KH. I know this is kind of early to say since the Vita just came out, but what if the Vita ends up getting a lot of great games like inFAMOUS, more Uncharted, CoD, mass Effect, ect? I think people should just give the Vita a chance. Just look at 3DS, a lot of people thought it would fail but they were wrong since it's now getting a lot of great games in its library.

The vita personally looks extremely stupid to me. But KH is that important to me that I would get a vita to buy it. {KH is more than just a game to most people} I mean sure there is some games that look cool for the vita, but the only reason I would get it is for a KH game. And then I would get the games that looked nice too. Before BBS came out, I thought the PSP was so stupid. But I got a PSP just for Birth by Sleep and I loved it. And not only that, I am planning on buying games such as Dissidia in the future. Kingdom Hearts is more than just a game to me. It helped me learn and feel better about myself. I remember when my parents were fighting and yelling right in front of me when I was 12. I was playing KH2 during that time, and it just helped me calm down. No other game does that for me. And Kingdom Hearts gives me someone to want to be. I want to be a responsible, caring, nice, and innocent gifted lady just like Aqua, who always care's for her friends. And Kingdom Hearts is what got me into video games and anime. It was my very first video game when I was 4. I remember playing it with my step-brother. I remember him trying to beat Riku in racing. I remember him touching the tree, but then running as fast as he can back to home. Kingdom Hearts helped me remember the good old times in life. Mostly every memory I have back in the day was related to Kingdom Hearts. Hell, I even meet my first true best friend because of that game. So yeah, I don't care. I will definitely buy a console just for a beautiful game like Kingdom Hearts.

I'm getting it next year.

It can, but not UMDs. You have to download them from the PSN Store.

 

Count_DiZ. My only online game right now is Golf, though.

 

Adding you now, and if I might ask. Does the Golf game come with that Online Pass? Because I'm not spending $10 on it.

[lizzie1238 538]

So you can't get BBS or Crisis Core, which I've heard are two of the best PSP games.

Okay, I understand that and I respect your opinion on this. But that's still not really the best reason to buy a console for 1 game. There are a variety of good games to choose some. heck, there are games I find better than KH (that being Uncharted, and inFAMOUS 1 & 2, and Mass effect series). Seriously, buy other games other than KH. I mean it's fine that you want KH but there are tons of other games that will have you playing the your console more often. Take the 3DS for example. it has a fine library of games like Super Mario 3D Land, Zelda, Mario Kart, Sonic generations, Starfox, ect. Would you still buy a 3DS just for one game that could eventually get boring after playing it countless times? or would you rather buy the console for tons of great games that will keep you entertained with the 3DS?

I understand. However, personally, I am not really fond on games like Uncharted. They look ok, but is not really worth to me on buying a console for that game. The games for the Vita so far I am not interested what so ever. But if I get a KH game for it, sure I would buy Uncharted and the other games. And the KH game's never get boring to me. I am buying a 3DS just for KH 3D. But I will definitely buy other games for the 3DS. Dead or Alive looks all right. Mario Kart looks great too. But the main, main reason I am getting the 3DS is for KH. You see, Kingdom Hearts also opens my mind to try these other consoles too. If it was not for BBS, I would not have a PSP, and I would not be saving up for Dissidia right now.

I'm not saying the Vita is bad, but seeing as how KH is my favorite franchise, no other franchise (as good as they are) can convince me to get the Vita. Now if a KH game were to come to the Vita, I'd buy the Vita for the KH game (of course), and then buy any great games the system has to offer, just like Aqua7KH said.

[AnsemTheWise 1,114]

I don't think so. I didn't check. I'll check the case later.

[Yuzuki 30]

I plan to get one some time in the future. I want to get the Final Fantasy X remake!

[lizzie1238 538]

Me too, but I'm just gonna get it on PS3. By the way, it's an HD remaster, not a remake. So they're not remaking the entire game, which kinda sucks.

[Yuzuki 30]

Hm, yes, I haven't heard too much on it yet. Last I heard people were refering to it as a remake.

[DragonMaster 1,166]

Nope, I didn't get one. I did get to try it out at GameStop though. To all of those who have one, I would recommend Gravity Rush/Daze, it is unique and fun to play. Currently it is the only game that even mildly interests me on the Vita.

 

So, I am interested, what in the world is supposedly so good about the screen. When I played it, I noticed nothing exceptional about it. It was big, and had good resolution, but the touch screen felt pretty much like you can find on an iPod, and I saw nothing special about the OLED screen. That last point is what I am really curious about, 'cause I keep hearing "OMGZ look at taht beutiful OLED SCREEEN! SO VIBRANT AND KRISP and COULORFUL" (*grammar just for emphasis*), when really it just looked like a normal screen, I saw no difference between it and a normal LED.
