Seeing Freedom wars in the background looks so fitting for the topic
Freedom wars a game I liked but I hated at the same time…I beat it, but what a grind fest…I have never played a hunter game since…
Hahahahaha, it was a perfect fit!
Good to know! I just bought that game (physical too!) recently. Haven't tried it yet, it looks great.
I use MY Vita solely for the Netflix app 😆😆
I did enjoy freedom wars :)
Sony starts to remind me of Blizzard. The way they treat developers and the fanbase has a similar pattern.
Yes the similarities are uncanny!
I admit and I am a Sony fanboy since the original PlayStation. But I believe that they are forgetting the small companies that helped them out in the first place. In my opinion what needs to happen is a total restructuring and get people who are responsible for things like the Vita store, etc actually do their job instead of just coasting by. Like any company, they need our money, money talks and BS walks but when Sony realizes what they are doing , it’s going to be too late for them. They need to recognize these smaller companies and actually extend an olive branch for them to develop for their consoles instead of the competition. I hope eventually soon Sony sees the value of the Vita still has and allow continuation for people to develop and put out games on the platform. We can dream though, can’t we?
Yes at this point I would say so.
Sony was completely different in the early days. I don't even recognize them anymore.
Yeah, there's only so much you can say to defend them, but this is one step too far. Still, what do you expect from a company which puts money before the fanbase, thanks to the new CEO
This smells like PS3 saga with this time instead of hardware, management being the downfall.
All over again yes!
I wanna go to a timeline where vita is supported properly. This has been hard to deal with
TAKE ME WITH YOU!!!
I am really enjoying playing on the PS vita I bought in April. My first contact with him was in 2013 at an event.Thanks for the news, 2am!
Glad you enjoy it!
You're always first to the scene with the news, keep it up! I don't know how these devs up with the brole store and indifference from Sony
Thank you for watching Zed :)
The type of treatment Vita receives comes from the top. Sony long ago decided that it didn’t like it’s own platform. If somebody tried to do something for it, I’m sure it was met with derision if not punishment. After a while, any plea or question would just be ignored. The 3% number is only them trying to justify a decision made long ago. If only Sony decided back then to back their own product instead of treated it like the red headed step child. (Apologies to the redheads, like me).
Your comment pretty much perfectly explains why the Vita is treated badly by Sony. It was easy to notice that Sony seemed to hate their own product lol
Facts all facts!
At this point we have to send pissed off Terminators into the past to stop Platform X from destroying the Vita store.
I am down with that!
I'm still in-awe of Freedom Wars still having an online mp coop till this day (as of this post) I wish the pvp were also alive in this game as well, but it's mostly just the mp coop now which is still fun and such a grind.
How active is it?
@@PSVitaat2am it's spoaradically has players on weekdays around morning at 6am and around 12-3pm afternoon. I'm from the Philippines so the timezone is 8:00+ here if you want to know when other players show up in your timezone. Weekends? Not so much BUT I have had a couple of run-ins with fellow players in my country during night hours.
You can also friend players too, that way you can keep track when you guys are online.
Why cant these company's learn from history? Its always the same thing, Company gets ahead of competition , Gets massive ego, Gets knocked back down to size, Rinse repeat.
In the case of EA they never lost that ego lol
Right on both accounts
It sounds like Sony is going to drive all of its indie developers into the arms of its competitors aka Microsoft, Nintendo and Steam. If they don't change their course of actions.
Yup you can just see that happening!
Company X has had its ups and downs and progressing in a forward motion is usually in the best interest for most companies
I can understand why, but we live in an era where many have lost sight of what their passion is and focus on that $$$
Keep fighting the good fight James!
Will do my brother Duo!
Clearly, Sony gave up on their little handheld.
It started when they saw less than stellar sales from units and 1st party games. It became evident when they kept predicting that mobile phone gaming will overtake the market. They thought they could repair the damage with the PSTV but they F-ed that up as well. Then they went full-force supporting the PS4 and PSVR to hopefully make up for the lost revenue of the PS Vita, which finally led them to only have a skeleton crew to provide worthless updates and do just enough to keep the store up and running.
My conjecture is that the Vita could have been more successful if they had only believed in it and kept in touch with the community.
Yup couldn't agree more!
Looking at their overall treatment of the Vita, as well as their general technical incompetence when it comes to the store, none of this comes as a surprise.
I was pretty glad when the Switch began to get a lot of third party/indie/weeb game support, because Nintendo is where my heart has always been and it makes it that much easier for me to drop Sony entirely if this trend continues.
Where your hart has always been? seriously? The system hasn't even been around that long.
I said Nintendo, not the Switch.
@@AnarickTheDevil dude, I've loved Nintendo for a long time. The Switch is just like the icing on the cake. Drift issues suck though.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Online-Only is one of the biggest cursed anti-consumer business practices of the entire gaming industry. We have so many games across all platforms that would sell really well if only they had working Single Player Offline modes.
As for the Vita, the fact that I'm playing Phantasy Star Nova on it right now (in Japanese because it never got localized in English) is proof of what I said above. It sucks to have bought PSO2 for Vita only to find yourself unable to play it anymore because the platform is dead while the game itself is still going really well on PC. Another game I really enjoyed, Freedom Wars, never got its due spotlight because of all the shenanigans that kept the devs from finishing the full game thus having to cut content, and prevented them from making a worthy sequel.
God Eater for the Vita was also a nightmare to buy locally, because the online store pushed the notion that each localization has to have their own localization of DLCs (leading to the publishers not wanting to spend money on making DLCs available on all versions). An example would be how the English Asia release of the game didn't accept DLC purchased for the English USA version and vice versa when both are plain English versions.
Nowadays, it's all just games like Anthem, Outriders, Godfall, and all these other games that you seem to pay for in full and increasing prices but never really get to own. And these platforms push them as mainstream titles like they're the cream of the crop of the gaming industry, when they're all just there to subconsciously condition consumers into accepting more and more of such anti-consumer practices. It then becomes a battle of exclusivity vs availability but people will always be people and spend hard-earned cash on a console they only bought for one or two exclusive titles.
It's just sad how these companies are devolving worse and worse on the morality side of running a business. It feels like they were given the choice to do good and profit well or do bad and profit a bit more in exchange for harming the industry and the customers, and they didn't think twice in choosing the latter option.
I am definitely with you on the online only part!
Kids, get either *Freedom Wars* or *Toukiden 2* . They both play similar, tho FW is a MP Action akin to God Eater, while Toukiden is like MonsterHunter but with open world and campaign; also online coop.
Ah good words of wisdom!
I feel this article was primarily about the PS4 store and indies on PS4, as opposed to Vita. Since Vita devs largely moved on to Switch and now that new games can't be submitted, all of em are there. Granted, Nintendo has been better for these devs than either PlayStation platform.
Fair enough. I felt that since this seems to have all surfaced after the whole Sony deadline thing it was connected in some way.
Instead of the gimmicky as VR all they had to do was re-realise a new iteration of the ps vita with a standard sd card port maybe a 4g and perhaps a type-c connects and call it the 4000 model. That's literally the only thing they had to along with continued support for the system then watch how sales would have jumped.
There is a big difference between paying an extra $100 for $64gb card vs around maybe $25/30 for the same amount of storage.
I agree 100 percent Ezell. Sony could still fix things if they wanted to, and so easily as well.
@@PSVitaat2am 2 ways to revive the vita without actual releasing a newer model is making a update that allows the vita to use Google play, there are a ton of decent games on it or have an update that allow you to play console games via playstation now.
All game companies started from making indie games before going big. I tend to download and play tons of japanese indie games before that independent game circles release during summer and winter comikets and they're more fun and engaging than most of todays AAA games with nothing to boast other than their fancy graphics.
Mr. Kotowari, its been a pleasure reading your comment. Finally someone agrees with me on this!
Where I am the psvita games are so rare and sometimes most of it are visual novels (not that they're bad but you'll get frustrated if you something more action-packed). It just shows not enough physical was distributed and thus ended up making some games lose popularity like Freedom Wars.
Speaking of FW, seeing that citizen shoot an abductor with it's shield up stirs my blood.
Very good insight here Croz, FW deserved a sequel.
Sony needs to just let remote play work on ps5/Vita and I will be super happy.
I couldn't agree more Supa!
Undertale: am i a joke to you?
Hahahaha!!!!
I think sony belongs to Japan. everything was fine when it was in japan.
Not really. The Japanese got inflated ego's with the ps1 and 2 being the most popular systems an the ps3 suffered for it. Now PlayStation is based in California and they have not learned from history and have inflated ego's because how well the ps4/5 did/is doing.
Move was the worst idea in my opinion.
Freedom Wars was and is such a good and very underrated game. I started it 2 weeks ago and I can't stop playing it. Wish so much they would have made a sequel. I would buy it in a second.
How is the online?
@@PSVitaat2am I haven't played online so I can't say anything about it.
Good video. Interesting subject. I am sure there will be more.
Most definitely!
Gear up people. We're gonna bring down a big one.
And thus we reach...END GAME!
All of this is totally true. You know how hard it is to find any games on ps stores? all i can find is FUCK ALL! For SONY blocking the viewers of the "old" ps store specifically says everything about the company. They're only concentrating on ps4-ps5. This has become completely clear.
Really sad things have to be like this. :(
Shouldn't
Have
Moved
The
HQ
So true so true!
Well, this is depressing. Especially given the impending closure of PS Video, it seems that Sony seriously doesn't care about money from games and services they're not currently supporting. Even the PS Video app, which should be active until the end of August, has been altered, so that it kicks you from the app, as you sign in. I really hope Xbox leaps in sales and customer support this generation, to pull Sony back into line.
Yeah even the devs are upset :(
The reason competition is so important. If xbox wasn't around sony would be left unchecked and our gaming experience would be much worse by now. They're on a power trip. Even with old customer like us giving up on them they have plenty of new ones to not notice tbeke mistakes yet. Eventually they'll catch on and adapt
I’m not surprised honestly. I mean the main guy at Sony hates Japanese games and doesn’t see the value on them anymore
And that's honestly sad to me since I've generally loved JRPGs
So sad too :(
Indie & classic gaming was the best part of PS3.
So true so true!
Ik I'm going to get a lot of hate for this but I personally view most indie games as shovelware for the modern age .
Very few of them turn out to be standouts and a lot of them especially on the vita turn out to be really low grade 2D platformers.
It's unfortunate that these devs don't get enough say in how they manage their games especially when steam has seen such great success with it and constantly promoting new indie games. but I think it's understandable and Sony's eyes that they can't just keep advertising another pixel art shooter on vita every time it comes out.
I mean there's so many visual novels on the vita and I don't think it's worth their time. I'm sure they could do what steam does if they wanted to but they're probably afraid of looking like the switch and constantly pushing out shovelware on the front page that gets boosted whenever it goes on sale...
Theres indeed that, the switch has this problem but indies are still happy, its weird a bit.
I see it the same way coming from the WiiU, it degraded to a tripple CCC "Nindie" platform since 2017.
@@bloeckmoep only advantage is the physical indies are greater. If you buy mostly physical, its way better.
@@bloeckmoep the best thing about the Wii U is the old games from multiple past consoles.
@@ArtisChronicles Yeah, but the continous stream of low garbage "nindies" is really hurting this legacy beast.
Sony should of supported the Vita, like Sega supported the MegaDrive/Genesis in Brazil. 😂
How did that go?
This is what you get with a walled Garden that is SONY of America
So true so true!
And this is why I hate "Western" Sony practices on abandoning/forgetting on their handheld gaming department, that is why they have no commitment on their handheld after the success of PSP. I don't expect from "Western" Sony to create another handheld gaming device or even mobile games, not when Jim Ryan aka Don Mattrick and their incompetent management are at the helm of it.
Dude, even if you say that, playstation 5 with their games is very successfull right now
I wish things hadn't come stateside.
I feel like "Platform X"'s most consistent trait is that they don't ever learn from their history.
Wild, weird indie-style games and Japanese titles are what *built* PlayStation as a brand, made it stand out, and extends the lifetime of all of their platforms, often nearly a decade after their launch.
There's a reason why both the games and players traditionally associated with PlayStation are moving en masse to Switch and PC >:V
Sad but true :(
Wow this video really come to my recommendation in 2 am.
Really? Hahahaha, it was meant to be!
As a person who bought a Vita a few months in refurbished, I had a modicum of hope that this would not be the fate of the Vita. Welp, at least I still have my Wii U...I should check out what's going on there too!
Don't worry we still got physical games coming, plus you have a great backlog. :)
You can still save the vita sony. Try to form a community with vita owners work with indie developers and reopen production. But hey that's something any sane person would do.
I agree 100% with you! Listen to this individual Sony, they know what they're talking about!
If PX hates indies so much how is Blue box getting a push. I think only hearing from one side and a couple devs is really unbalanced. Maybe their games don’t sell on Px because it has a different audience. There could be multiple factors.
That is true, would be nice to hear a response from Sony.
I have't been up to date recently and this is what I come back to..... What the actual fuck happened??
Sony just doing their thing again.
that pie chat is something else!
It speaks to me!
I'm so sad about some of the PSP titles being gone from the Vita store...
I was going to grab some of the PSP Metal Gear titles..but nope.. both MG ACID titles are gone..and they are pure Gold!😖🥲😭
I know exactly what you mean :(
Im here bc the title mentioned PS VITA
Welcome Jay! :)
Inde devs reflect the heart and sole of gaming creating, imo
They really do!
I was playing Killzone on my ps-vita yesterday
How is the online?
Sony is definitely to blame. They refuse to support their own platform and then when it dies they act like they weren't at fault at all and blame it on the age of mobile gaming. Looking at the success of the PSP, the PS Vita could have at least been as successful as the PSP if they actually supported it. What with the potential of a more powerful hardware. But they didn't bother to support the Vita like they supported the PSP and that is why the PS Vita's potential was never fully realized. Couple with the fact that they didn't learn from some of the flaws of the PSP like the expensive proprietary memory cards. Even looking at the PS Vita store's design and UI really shows the lack of effort in supporting the Vita.
Sad things have to be like this. :(
The Vita has been treated like the ugly step child for years.
I know, and Sony could still fix things if they wanted to.
I feel like it may be time for me to move to PC Gaming, all of the big 3 names on the console market aren't being that great right now
Agreed. They're all doing things I don't like.
I agree 100 percent!
They are basically focusing on the ps5 and ps4 but the psvita and different games the vita is kinda weird I mean like we need for things for Sony to do with it
Yes and VR to a certain extent
I think it's sad that Sony is thinking of money and not the fans.
Why can't a company make the game cards so the small company's bring there games out on physical copys and sell them on there own websites or ask Eastasia soft to help out too. Just an idea.
Believe me I know exactly what you mean
The description of the games is also awful in the Vita store. Many times I had to Google to see what a game is about. In contrast in Steam you can have a guess if that game will be interesting.
Exactly! It really is a mess.
I love Sony systems a lot. Sony's great at what they do. But what I hate is that in their eyes it seems like "only the strong survive". So they want to be on top, but don't think they need help to do so.
Sony reminds me a lot like Konami
Really sad things have to be like this. :(
@@PSVitaat2am Yup. I personally think that Microsoft is the more respectable company, but for the most part I like Sony systems more. Especially PS2, PSP, and Vita.
Great video too, I was already subbed to you so I'll stay tuned!
may I ask what game you were playing at the beginning?
Freedom Wars :)
If those developers are interested in the platform X is because they can get some$. Sony should work better with them.
Exactly, simple as that!
Oh yeah I do work with Iain lol For Platform X, I think he meant more the home consoles instead of the handhelds but I mean, they're all from the same company so it's no surprise that both consoles get the same horrible treatment.
Yeah and I think the whole deadline thing is what sparked all this for others to speak up..
The fact is that Sony has ps5 ps4 and psvr that they are pushing. The fact is also that they have to wade through many dev questions and concerns on a daily basis. They are going to prioritize ps5 then ps4 then psvr. They will also prioritize first party devs then second party devs then third party devs then indie devs. Indie vita devs are the last on the priority list. They are being nice just by keeping the store open for the vita. Yeah it is a good console but the fact is that not many people even own it and it’s not a current system. Hopefully they will try again in the handheld market but the vita is essentially no better than the ps3 to Sony. Two generations old. I don’t believe Sony is completely out of the handheld market. I believe they will eventually go back into the market. When is another story
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts Josh! :)
Yeah we all heard that, James' calling out SpongeBob SquarePants ;)
I tried to say it in a small voice... ;_;
All this Company X reminds me of Segagaga's Dogma.
I wish we had a fan translation for that game!
@@PSVitaat2am yeah, such a neglected gem
I see the pros and cons with indie games and devs, but at least treat them fairly Sony and be transparent.
Yup that's all it takes really.
Sony needs to fix up
Big time!
Now that the only PS5's available from scalpers are the same price as an inexpensive gaming pc, indie game devs should go to steam.
True man, if they aren't already there they might as well go there now.
I would agree
Many indie devs are already making the move to Switch & Steam. Xbox also supports a curated catalog of indies with its fine ID@Xbox program. When you factor in itch, gog, epic, PS5 may currently be in 7th place as an indie platform.
@@sonicmania9993 From shared dev experiences, it seems they earned their position.
Damn, at least let the developers control the price of their game by putting them on sale. Would love to see 50% off titles
I realy feel sorry for the devs.
with CFW being so popular, i wonder how possible itd be to just bypass sony altogether and just sell games directly from the developer's website?
Only problem is thy could face legal issues if they are working for Sony
Just started Uncharted. Completed it many years ago but forgot how good some vita games can look. 10 years ago wtf??
Regardless of platform, some games truly stand the test of time. I personally love that.
It was ahead of its time.
Unit 13 too omg
I know what AAA means (A lot of money, A lot of time, A lot of resources), but what’s AA mean?
Hahahaha!!!
Oooooh the X-FIles of Platform-X.
Conspiracy!!!!
It's like Sony hates money. Makes no sense. Great video!
It's crazy I tell ya
Although Sony's policies are bad for discerning gamers & small devs/pubs, their profits are through the roof. No money problems at the moment.
@@sonicmania9993 good point.
I hope maybe we can get remote play for ps5 through vita, thats mostly what I use it for now days on ps4
That would be awesome!
the other day I bought 3 vita games..now I'm buying 2 more.
I love hearing this. :)
Yeah. I'm trying to get Spy Hunter ,LBP,and a Limited Run game.
guess that's 3. things change fast man
Title of the video alone made so many views :-) I don't even care about sony anymore when there are people like The flow0 and Rinnegatamante making fantastic ports like GTA.
That is a great way to look at things :)
All right I got now so many reason to not bother anymore with PS5 or Sony in general.
I finish my 500+ Games and move on from them to PC.
We could get mad. We could protest.
But in the end if not all of us together act with our wallets nothing will change.
Stay away from PS5 and show them, you had enough and won't no longer support.
Thanks.
Sony sucks. I'm switching to Xbox Series S or PC gaming
I have a ps5 but other then Demons Souls and Returnal there is nothing else I want to play on it.
@@stevenross-watt8640 it doesn't seem to have games that interesting to me anymore
Dude this is what the PC needs too. I'm afraid pricing is just gonna get worse with the way things are going.
Steam Deck here we come!
I love your channel
Thank you so very much, those words mean a lot! :)
The platform is always to blame. As a developer you are at the mercy of the platform, it doesn't matter which one you are on.
So true so true :(
I kind of agree with Sony I wouldn’t want a ps store saturated with shitty games. Yes
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Ok they NEED to update the new releases tab with ALL new releases that gets the more sales idk why they don’t do that. Also out of human decency you need to not change the data you close your stores and give at least a years notice to ALL developers working for your platform your doing so so ya. Other than that if ps vita is only 3% of your sales I can’t blame you for not doing more than I listed.
I figure the Vita store could possibly net them more money if they managed it better. Seems like a situation where they're creating the outcome of their justification for not bothering with it much.
Yup as simple as that
@@PSVitaat2am thanks
Lol might pick the PS Vita back up to help support the homies 😅
We welcome all new homies!
@@PSVitaat2am 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Devs acting as if the vita just came out
Good point
Sony becoming a woke company, a CEO who's disconnected with gamers plus Sony going back to their arrogant ways of the PS3 era..Well yeah they are shooting themselves in the foot again.
Sad but true :(
I have to agree with this as an indie developer I almost don't want to jump through the fire hoops that is sony. Steam and Nintendo and Microsoft make publishing games so much easier. now I love the vita but Sony is ad bad to indie developers as they are to the vita
Sad but true, they only care about profit over people. :(
If I was to use the term platform X I would be referring to Xbox,especially considering how many Indies are available for PlayStation..how many is available for Xbox?
True, Sony was more open to them
It’s a shame the vita situation but it’s over. Let move to switch
No Steam Deck?
Seems like a common pattern for indie developers for all three. Maybe Steam is the way to go?
At this point I would say so.
I want fries 🍟
Mmmmmmm!
Eesh SpongeBob, let alone Batman. I'd choose Sparkle over them any day!!! Sparkle is like weirdly bad but in a totally fine way, while the other teo who had the budget but didnt cut it just made me lose my mind.
I'll have to check it out!
I'm here to write the same thing when it come to SONY!! Fuck' em, and I hope the fall so hard to make them rethink their ways!!
Remember all the bullshit at the start of the last generation about how much the like indie game devs and PS platform is the right place for them... Seem not anymore!!
They are doing pretty good for themselves especially with the support of the big 3rd party publishers! Why care about the plebs of the gaming industry?!
Sony is focusing on the mainstream and guaranteed and not the new and creative that's why they are giving unlimited support to their western studios on the other hand Japan Studio was shut down because their stuff wanted to make the usual weird and cool games but Sony was limiting the staff creativity!
Sorry for the late reply man, UA-cam didn't show me your comment until now.
First of all, I actually like the SpongeBob game on Vita. It isn't terrible if you're looking for something simple that you don't have to focus on too much. It's a great game to play one level at a time in (I wouldn't recommend binging the whole thing). Next, Indies do have their place. One of the greatest games of 2020 was Hades (an indie game). I can honestly say that some Indie games went beyond their 2D limitations in one way or another. Fez, Salt and Sanctuary, Lone Survivor, Home, Red Bow, Machinarium, and many others did this and were great at it.
I think he as saying it’s best on vita than on others
Yes exactly!
Pineapple...
Mmmmmmm!
Doesn't surprise me with Sony. Their attitude shift in the past few years has been something else. They are so big headed and full of themselves. Will they change? Well, how easy is it to find a PS5? As long as they're still making money hand over fist I doubt they care or will change. Maybe if enough devs drop them
I thought that they were going to get the slap down they needed "Again!" for the ps5 but looks like we will need to wait for the ps6 for that to possibly happen again.
You do realize that there's an industry wide chip shortage right?
Hate to see the devs going through this.
I would only buy 6 ps vita games in vita inste all would be psp and some ps1 and Psgo
A lot to choose from. :)
It really makes more sense to publish in steam if you want to make it as an indie dev. It will have its own portable device which technically is better than the vita in specs. My question is why would small devs continue to publish in the Vita?
to me its because i just love the vita and dont want its potential to be great simply disappear
Technically Valve's device could be considered a competitor for the Switch as well.
I think Steam is going to make a killing!
@@8bitblock I love the vita too, the homebrew stuff, the existing catalog. But that's an argument for the user not the people spending time and resources making games.
What game is playing in the background? I wish this channel would show the name of games they show in the background, many of which I'm not familiar with and look really interesting.
freedom wars
Freedom Wars, I think.
Yes a very early release :)
@@SimonFallheart Thank you for the info, really appreciate you taking time to reply
Pretty much Sony being Sony, especially when it comes to the Vita
At this point yeah
Looks like a pretty bad situation with Sony. When game developers get angry too. Developers need money through selling both old and new games as well. when they are then able to develop new ones. And sony is now behaving ugly to developers.
So true so true :(
Thanka for the video.
No problem :)
Read this article before weeks ago and yeah it was sad to read but makes sense why it happens. It is no surprise that they supported Indies with those staff in place then that cared about Indies just to have the higher ups or swapped staff give up and only count bigger Indies not smaller because bigger conpanies are the only ones that count not building up small ones or letting them get enough of a way on the store because of stupid obstacles and money limits that can't be reached as easily. For a platform they leave behind like the Vita sure but even if for the PS5 or PS4 it must suck. People know about big games every which way not small so continuing to support the big always disappoints me as I'll hear about them regardless of if I care about them.
I know exactly where you are coming from!
For the revenue part.. i dont get the proficient sergeant and nolan north.. someone could hint me?
Proficient Sergeant = Master Chief = Xbox
Nolan North = Nathan Drake = Sony
Plumber = Mario = Nintendo
Gabe = Steam
^Ummmmm! xD
Almost finished Bloodstained Curse of The 🌙 Moon So Good 😊
It certainly live up to the Castlevania name!
that Vita store is trash. No screenshots anymore, you're basically fed the same list of games unless you actively search for something or browse by genre/letter range....
I don't have a need for a handheld so the first time I turned mine on in years was when they originally said the store would be closing. Figured I best pick up a few games just to have and I was shocked at just how little changed on the Vita store. The games listed were basically all the same games listed several years prior when I last looked.... While browsing if there was something that caught my eye, sorry, no screenshots... I know Sony gave up on the Vita about 2 years after it launched but it's evident the Vita and it's store were left in a state of neglect the past 4+ years.
side note: Can we just get Sony to make another million PSTVs so I can play my Vita on the big screen and enjoy some of these games Lol. I still kick myself for not just buying one. I try to use the Vita once in a while but I just can't game on that little OLED while holding a brick and pushing those toddler sized buttons and analog stick. I'd love to play Ys VII and Persona 4 Golden along with some other games.
I agree, its a complete mess!
