  • Vita as a console had some poor marketing, support issues and was ultimately beaten by the rise of the mobile phones and the 3DS. But if Sony made a couple changes, could the VITA idea actually...succeed?
    Let me know what you think in the comments!

    Vita sold terribly here in the US and it's Sony's own fault for having it at a very high price at launch and refusing to drop the price and a very expensive memory card and terrible marketing, those are the main reasons why the Vita failed. Although that aside I love the Vita and the JRPGs that it has

      Ludger's Channel it was mainly bc the memory cards that it failed and the lack of games coming to it. 3DS was just pushing games one after the other and getting a sd card for it was so easy

    but i'm hoping the vita will keep me going for now with more games to play~

    I find myself playing my PS Vita more than my 3ds. My 3ds collects dust. The games on the 3ds are repetitive. Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Fire emblem and Mario again. I am a huge Pokemon fan and that's the only reason why I'm keeping it around. PS Vita has Ys series, gravity rush, jrpgs, walking dead , Digimon series, sword art, disgaea series, atelier series, child of light, Rayman series shooters like killzone, vanillaware games, Final Fantasy, PSP games and PS One games and a whole lot more. In my opinion the only reason 3ds is more popular is because they have a huge kids fan base when compared to PS Vita. Also Sony wanted money fast with no effort when it came to the Vita. The Vita's unpopularity is no one's fault but SONY's

      Sony had every opportunity to build up their own line of mascots. They just didn't. They try once and then never do it again. Crash is technically their mascot, but how long has it been since Crash has been visible on Sony platforms? Ages ago, and only recently did they resurrect that. But will they push it again? I wouldn't be surprised if they did not.
      And so they'll never have the same iconic mascots as Nintendo.

      -cheap SD cards as main memory
      -First party games ran and looked great
      -although it had some shit 3rd party ports, most games ran very well
      -they cut the price when they had to instead of blaming others for their moronity.

    Sony shot themselves in the foot with the psp line. I bought the original psp and the vita, and Sony killed both of them with any lack of support. they were outright lazy with it. like they just expected it to sell because it's a Sony product and had about 5 first party games, then got mad when we wanted more and they didn't do anything about it. Just like people say Nintendo couldn't survive on first party, ps vita couldn't survive with just 3rd party. I love my ps4 but I wouldn't be bothered to get suckered into another handheld from them.

    I’m a hand held console gamer. I used to play both the psp and ds. and i have to admit that in terms of portability and comfort, sony’s psp (i got the go) is more comfortable. I’ve been eyeing the psvita for a while but i just bought a switch and a new 3ds xl (replacing my old new 3ds that got busted batteries)
    The reason i’ve been eyeing the psvita is because it can play psp games and its own game. Plus the fact that it’s havked now...and it’s actually MOOREE portable than the switch. I couldn’t even say that the switch is a ‘portable’ because of the size... so i mostly use it docked..

    I agree mostly with your synopsis. Imho though, I think Capcom's, Monster Hunter World, will breathe life back into the Vita when it releases. And, if rumors prove to be true that Sony put Capcom back into their $$pockets$$, then we may even get an exclusive version of a new updated MH game for the Vita. If this happens, I promise you, the entire unit will literally be revived. Sony will have turned a 'loss' into a complete win with just the power of one game.

    It’s one thing with your channel that always brings me back here checking your old videos.. the talking over coffee! It’s so relaxing. oh, dear God.. :D
    One question, a friend of mine is going back to Japan this November and I’ve been thinking to buy PSVita special edition there (any kind of Vita SE) that they don’t sell here in Indonesia. Do you think it’s still worth it? I mean I never own one, neither Vita or Switch but here in my country Switch is so popular but I’m just not into it. I mean I love Zelda but Vita seems to have games that catch my interests. And I love the design. Any kind of related suggestion would be very useful. Thanks in advance! 😊

    Vita needs FAR more 3rd party action game ports that aren't indie crap to succeed. These girl- hero pedogames and jrpg's from Japan aren't cutting it. Western action games are the only way. If Capcom were to for whatever reason put the upcoming Street Fighter Anniversary Collection on Vita, there would be a ton of sales, and it might actually be a console-mover.

    Those adjustable settings sound like a cool idea, but you don't really need to rely on hardware for that. Those settings rely on *the game engine*, where the problem is that most games use their own game engines, and it is up to the developers to either tweak that, or enable them in-game to allow players to tweak it themselves.
    A perfect example is two of Capcom's games on the 3DS - Street Fighter IV 3D, and MH3U, both of which use their Mobile MT Framework game engine. Granted the only option you can change is whether to turn stereoscopic 3D on or off, but this one setting has a considerable impact on game performance. Turning them off allowed the game to run smoother. Not sure if any of these games hit 60fps, but I'm pretty sure they go well above 40fps at the very least.
    And then we go back to the developers - is it worth their time to include these settings into the game? Or would it be better for them to just tweak it themselves and call it a day? Effort is good and all, but not all devs have enough time nor the will to put in more effort for these little things. Everybody works on a deadline, and that's just a fact of corporate businesses. Indies might be able to get away with it, but devs owned by corporations? I don't think so.

Some of my favorite times with close friends are when we relaxed, sipping coffee and theorizing or getting creative with our ideas. Much like Nihongo Gamer does here. It feels very comfortable and keeps me here for the full video as his insights are interesting.
    - I really don't quite get how strongly people feel negatively towards the Vita. Sure, there are several things that weren't addressed by Sony when they should've been ($$ memory cards), but I've had a wonderful experience overall and I can see why folks would like to see something similar by Sony succeed this time as the game libraries between 3DS/Switch and the Vita are very different and having both in existence would appeal to the most gamers.
    - On the second pass of pouring, I like to work my spiral from the outside in, keeping the strength of the brew consistent 😉

    vita has been dead for 4 years now. i cant see it coming back. especially in the west. The main selling point of the vita was a console experience on the go....and the switch already does that much better. i think the vita can remote play with ps4, but it needs a wifi connection, so its not as mobile as the switch. The switch uses an ARM architecture which makes software easier to port from x86, in fact its more modern than the architecture in ps4 pro and xbone x. Your dream handheld console' is basically the switch.

    • @haruhisuzumiya6650

    • @supermonkeyape007
      @supermonkeyape007 7 років тому +7

      Haruhi Suzumiya Yes, optimisation is what needs to be done. that can include removing and changing assets and adjusting the resolution and lighting engine. people who say " that game cant run on switch" are completely wrong. ANY game can run on the switch. its a matter of changing assets and basically lowering strain on the GPU. that doesnt nessesarily mean making the game look worse on switch, if optimised properly the game can look pretty on switch in its own way. eg: witcher 3 on ps4 looks pretty good despite having a different lighting engine and less shaders. The switch is in a good position because it has support for most modern API like havok, ue4 etc... which makes the process of porting piss easy. something the wii u lacked.

    • @weaverquest
      @weaverquest 7 років тому +7

      SMoj To be fair the Switch doesn't have any current gen AAA game either. Yes you can argue Nintendo games are AAA quality but what I am obviously talking about demanding current gen games like Red Dead Redemption, Star Wars Battlefront and Assassin's Creed. Also it was the Xbox 360 Witcher 2 that had different lighting and redesigned shaders. Witcher 3 was consistent across all platforms. I think the reason we still haven't seen any third-party AAA game on the Switch is the fact that undocked mode Switch GPU is only 0.5 Teraflops. Even Xbox One with 1.3 Teraflops drops to 720p on demanding games.

    Vita 2 needs three main things:
    -Standardized storage medium through Micro SD. It's a pain in the ass the Vita uses proprietary memory cards that cap at 64GB and those cost about $130 after importing.
    -L2 and R2, and L3 and R3 buttons. Touchscreen virtual inputs just aren't anywhere near as good.
    -As the video stated, better integration with PS4.
    -As the video stated, out of the box capability to hook up to a TV like the Switch can. The Vita TV is a great device and all, but that should've been possible out of the box. Just cable and bluetooth support for external controller or use the handheld itself.
    -Backwards compatibility with Vita, hopefully both digitally and physically like the 3DS and DS.
    -Allow multiple accounts on the same Vita so I can have my Japanese, North American and European PSN all on the same system like I can on PS3 and PS4.
    Other than that, I love the Vita. Great library of games, games are physical, no moving parts. I want Vita 2.

    - Backwards compatibility with vita cards
    - at least 720p at 60fps gameplay
    - killer exclusive games or a "Zelda BOTW" equivalent
    - rebranding of what a portable is for the Sony consumer. It can be a stand alone console or a portable ps4 at lower visual quality. Better remote play or a different way of going about it. Such as D/L local copies of games on Vita and connect to ps4 via a dock for ps4. Unlock vita for portable and redock for play and transfer of save to ps4.

The PSP was between PS1 & 2, the Vita was between PS2 & 3, hopefully Switch's success convinces them to do another handheld between PS3 & 4 that leverages PS4 software.

    The PlayStation Vita has two way of competing with the Switch already - PS4 Remote Play and a hacked PSTV. If you have a PSTV, you can now use the PSVimgTools whitelist hack and use it to load any Vita game on the PSTV. And other than Nintendo exclusives, all the games on Switch are either already released on PS3 or PS4 or are coming to PS4. If you want to play those games on the go, just use the PS4 Remote Play. So long as you have a good high speed WiFi connection, you're in business.

    Making a hand held version of the PS4 that actually plays the PS4 games, can be a tricky thing. Since Consoles are often sold at a loss, getting a person to buy a PS4 hand held when they already have a PS4, means that they are not really going to recoup the cost of the hand held, since you might have bought the game on you non hand held PS4. On the other hand maybe it will just lock some peoples game purchases further into the PS ecosystem.

    I feel that just like the Wii U, the PlayStation Vita was highly underrated. They both had really immersive games. The designs were unique and neat. Although both of these consoles were released at the wrong time.

    I highly recommend the PS Vita and the PS TV/PS Vita TV. The PS Vita and the PS TV/PS Vita TV come in handy if you want to download PSP games on to them. If you want to download and play your PSP games on the Vita and the PS TV/PS Vita TV, then there is no need to get a PSP 1000, PSP 2000, PSP 3000 or a PSP Go. Plus, there is no need for friend codes and you can play online for free on the PS Vita and the PS TV/PS Vita TV.

    Smartest thing a Vita 2 could do is use the same physical format as the Vita cards, include backwards compatibility (like DS games on the 3DS), and then fix the proprietary memory card issue.

    So, I'm assuming you're bilingual nihongo gamer. I'm jealous, and it seems like no matter how hard I work I can never truly get the Japanese language down, but if you have that there's very little you can't play in a language you understand and that's just amazing, and would certainly be a benefit to a Vita owner. And...are you located in the US or Japan currently? Because in Japan you really just need to invest in a massive manga magazine and you're all set for any long trip no matter what age you are, which in Japan is probably a train trip instead of a car trip. That said, I live in NA and I would definitely buy the Vita you outlined. My main concern would actually be using a proper memory card format, which you didn't touch on, but the points you did bring up sound like they'd make for a great system.

    living in japan we can see why the vita does great over here... all the transportation (having a car in Tokyo is a mess ) , plus sometimes jumping subway lines , that helps a lot , still i dont see many people playing switch on the subway but still a lot of vita's around ....

    problem with sony is they had the chance to launch the ps4 with a vita bundle down the line;im sure people would of bought it in a bundle.and the thing your talking about kind of already exists the ps tv which is like the nintendo switch but only downside to it is that you cant play all of the vita games on it because its lets you play natively certain games because its not touch pad games

    they have released a new handheld every 5 years after a new console release. so a new handheld to release either the end of next year or the beginning of 2019 would be pretty cool
