Hey, look! A rumor from a website ive never heard of!

 

Im not a Diablo fan(then again, ive never played any of them so I cant really judge it), but Id probably give it a shot on the Vita. Thats the good thing about a console with few "good" games is that if you release a giant like Diablo 3, i could sell like crazy. I dont think Black Ops and AC3 is going to pull it out of it's rut.

From what I hear though, playing with touch controls would actually be beneficial compared to just a controller for Diablo 3.

I'm still unsure about it. And to be honest, even if it doesnt do that many things new, Id like it. Maybe Im a total AC fanboy, but if they released AC2 or Brotherhood on the Vita, id buy it again.

 

Mostly im concerned a to whether this game is going to truly be open world or not. Im not saying its impossible since the Vita has the power and screen to do it, but i dunno. I can see Ubisoft screwing this up. Theyll probably split the map into sections and have it load every time you wanted to go somewhere.

 

Then again, AC2 also had 3 separate sections and that game was awesome and each section was still pretty big.

 

Its just hard to trust Ubisoft based on their track record with both the PSP and DS AC games. If this was Rockstar, I wouldnt doubt it being open world, but Ubisoft is something else entirely.

 

But I cant really compare GTA from the PS2 days(which both PSP games were based on) and Assassin's Creed. AC also had a way more livelier and detailed world.

 

I have no idea. I need to see more of it.

Awesome.

 

Also: Escape Plan is getting DLC for 2 cents this week.

 

EDIT:

They just changed the price to 25 cents, those jerks!

Okay, here's my situation: I want to want a PS Vita, but there aren't enough games out that I want for it. I definitely want Gravity Rush, but other than that, I don't know.

 

So, sell me on a Vita. GO!

 

*Edit* - Games I'm aware of and mildly interested in: Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Disgaea, Katamari.

Well, you could really hold back and wait for it - for all the defending I'm doing of their logic in the other thread, I'm not trying to sell it... If you need a big library to be satisfied, it'll be there later, and the price may even drop in time.

 

Personally for me: The screen is sharp, bright, crisp and gorgeous. Even on the dimmest setting the contrast is great because black is almost perfectly black on an OLED. Downside - it might burn in if something stays on it long enough; they don't say that, but other SAMOLEDs have done so...

 

The battery is on par with a PSP in my experience. That is, around 5-6 hrs without intensive wi-fi and it can sleep for over a week. My 3DS gets 1/3 to 1/2 that, and under 1/5 in sleep (Wi-fi on,) respectively.

 

I only have 4 cartridges right now:

Wipeout 2048: If you're a Wipeout fan, you'll get this anyway. They did a great job - it's like WoHD enough that it can play against it. Great soundtrack as usual. I'm not playing a huge amount, for some reason, but what I play, I like. Also gorgeous graphics.

 

Unit 13: I'm super sick of shooters, but the tactics are great in this. You can do every non-timed mission like a stealth op, and if you lose stealth... just take cover and shoot the guys. It's a tactical stealth cover shooter, basically. I can't believe how much I've played this, but then I never got into SOCOM so maybe it's all this good? Some common issues exist in this too though - like screwing up unmissable grenade lobs and landing nades at your own feet. Also, the "leap over cover" button appears on-screen next to the right stick, so I've lost a lot of firefights by aiming a bit left and leaping into bullets. Still, lots of fun.

 

Metal Gear Solid HD collection: I barely made it into MGS2 - I suck. This is a chance to fix that! (if I could just get off the forum!) If you've beaten them, I guess this would have less pull. If you have it on PS3, you can transfer your savegames over Wi-fi. It also has the old Metal Gear 1 and 2 games. It does not have MGS 1, or the PSP game, but does include VR missions.

 

Gravity Rush: You know. I just picked it up, but the demo was fun.

 

Oh, they're also doing some good stuff with

, including really promising stuff
, though only time will tell if they put it to good use. Edited by fuchikoma

What he said. Its hard to argue with how amazing the handheld itself is. Its definitely worth the money. And its mostly the little things that I like about it: every game comes with a digital manual you can access before you access the game or during it, you can open most apps while still being in a game, you can play your own music while playing a game, it has party chat, and its really customizable. The buttons and the analog sticks are also solid. The dpad is one of the best dpads ever, better than the 360 PS3's and the 3DS's. Its big enough for me to not get a hand cramp, but not big enough to be unwieldy. The screen is beautiful.The thing is just a masterpiece. Its what God plays when he's on the toilet.

 

But its all about the games. If you know whats out and whats going to be released and you cant find at least 5 or 6 games, then Id wait. But I also have to say that a lot of the games that have come out are actually pretty damn good. It had a good launch. I only have UMvC3, Uncharted, and Super Stardust Delta, which are all excellent. But stuff like Wipeout 2048, Hot Shots Golf and Mutant Blobs are supposed to be amazing.

Later on we'll get Persona 4, Sly 4, that Smash Bros thing, and AC3. And god knows what other unannounced things. The holidays are coming and each company really has to try their hardest to release their best stuff. Im confident some good stuff will come out by the end of this year.

 

But if youre not too sure and you dont want to risk it, wait.
