The Random Anime Cat Crap Pictures-Out: Screw You All To The Wall

I'm joking Totally understandable if you use them to get more fun.

Can you remember what the highest level character you had was? You can join a friends private match if they're a lower level.

The way I see it is that the best way to attract customers to your platform is by offering them good, interesting games. If Nintendo can do it with the 3DS, Sony should try too. Exclusive games is what make us invest in hardware, after all. So, the less Sony care for the Vita, the less their potential costumers will care for it too :/

Agreed completely. The difference though is Nintendo can afford to do that whereas Sony can’t right now. Financially Nintendo is strong enough that they could haemorrhage money for the next decade and they’d probably still be here. Sony isn't in that position. The electronics division of the company has been losing money for a long time and Playstation is basically keeping it afloat. They did make a real effort with Vita exclusives at the start - in the first year alone there was Uncharted, Killzone, Wipeout, Little Big Planet and even an exclusive CoD (which likely cost a boatload of money for them to secure and by all accounts turned out awful) but even those five presumably didn’t move consoles to the degree Sony needed. Meanwhile the PS4 is selling like hotcakes and has given them a lifeline so it makes sense they’ll pool their resources into that. It’s a terrible shame but it is what it is.

They did announce they're bringing the Vita TV outside of Japan though so hopefully that might revitalise the platform a bit. We'll have to see what happens.

I hope the PS Vita does end up being equal to the PSP in terms of library eventually. Some exclusive MGS, GT, God of War games etc etc would be fantastic. But I guess for now we're stuck with indies.

Shit loads of updates for Gran Turismo 6

[Ace Ventura]

Welp, this isn't going to end well.

It's from Black Adder II btw, which I'm currently laughing my balls off to.

You know SOMEONE had to make that joke.

5 mins until Nintendo

[Inferno.]

So Gran Turismo 6 looks great. Plays really well too. I'm glad I bought it.
I'm only 2 races in though, I'm really tired today and just wanted to install/update and test it really.

WTF NINTENDO

Super Smash Bros, woohoo.

Never liked those games.

Nintendo is prerecorded and field tested using 500 Japanese school children.

Sorry, can't recall it

I know things have been tight for Sony as a company lately but it's hard to change the current status quo of their handheld without a minimal support and effort on their side to remember other companies that there are 2 cool handhelds trying to coexist. Would be a shame to see the PSP go due to piracy and the Vita due to the lack of support by those who created it.

Anyway, as you said, PSVita TV is not a bad way to bring new gamers to their catalogue and the price is very reasonable too. I also think a more Japanese oriented event like the TGS will bring us more news on new software. Vita never had a relevant role in past E3s.

The Rachmaninov's piece that plays in the intro alone is reason enough to love it

Yeah, I'll agree that TGS will probably be a little more Vita oriented, and with a little luck they'll announce Last Guardian there as well (since they obviously skipped it at E3). Still, it would have been nice if they had at least one really nice Vita reveal here, just to get peoples appetites whet... I wouldn't call doom and gloom on the system yet, but they really do need to start showing it a little more love.
I may be mistaken, but they didn't reveal a price on that Destiny/PS4 bundle, did they? I really hope that game does well because Sony is really putting a lot of stock in that sucker, and it's not even an exclusive. Maybe they're just really really happy to have Bungie going multi-plat finally?
