PlayStation Vita EU launch line-up

[Hadrian]

Well Uncharted sorta looks alright, nothing compared to the main series entries and I do enjoy Motorstorm...but RC?
WipeOut...well it was a cool series but it got samey.
Modnation Racers...really? Do they really need to keep this series when they have so much better out there?

I'd have thought with the extra time Sony would have got something so much better, next year 3DS will have new Paper Mario, Fire emblem, Mario Tennis, Kid Icarus, Dragon Quest Rocket Slime 3, Resident Evil: Revelations plus whatever else Nintendo has up its sleeve as well as excellent games like Mario Kart 7 & Super Mario 3D Land before the year end and Sony just has...those for launch and some other games that will be on 360/PS3 anyway.

They just seem to be repeating the same mistakes again, great handheld, games that may be good but not worth buying a PSP Vita alone for. Nintendo stumbled with their handheld but are making it up with their Xmas and early 2012 releases, Sony with all their clout should be able to pull some great exclusives but just stick with stuff that won't shift their handheld. Again they're going to have a handheld that's essential to own after a few years but not straight away.

Wait, a new Motorstorm? Fuck. Yes. Loved the PSP one and a Vita one sounds amazing. MNR: RT looks decent too for racers. Also interested in Gravity Daze, maybe Uncharted but that's bottom of my list honestly.

I'm hoping that Ruin and Ultimate MvC3 will crop up on the launch list, both of those are pretty awesome looking. Plus UMvC3 is a Japan launch title so I can't see why it wouldn't be for EU or US.

Also interested in Rayman Origins when its released, IDK if it'll be launch though. Shouldn't be too hard porting the PS3 version over though.

I agree people should acknowledge there's an appeal of those games, I've seen people bash Nintendo and their products in certain threads. Not pointing fingers.

Don't beat around the bush, grow a pair and call me out.

Sure, You're the of biggest Nintendo criticiser on this forum. Nothing pleases you, but that's no way to say you're wrong. Everyone has opinions, right? =)

Except I'm not. I don't mindlessly hate Nintendo, I hate on things they do, sure, but not everything. I'm still a Wii owner and a DS owner, I'm certainly not your typical "hater". "Level-headed" is probably a better term.

EDIT: On an unrelated note, I looked up a bit on "Unit 13" and it looks pretty meh. Might as well just make a SOCOM Vita game or something. Or port whatever the latest SOCOM was for the PS3 and add cross platform play.

The launch line-up isn't bad. Uncharted, Gravity Rush and Wipeout look nice. While it wouldn't make me buy a Vita at launch, it's pretty good.

Then please do excuse me as I'm mistaken. Thanks for clearing that up. You're not anti-Nintendo as I thought you were.

Back on topic, That lineup is quite impressive but not my type unfortunately. Hopefully I'll get one in the future, PSvita looks to be a promising hardware.

I don't care what people say. This IS a much better launch than the 3DS. Plus there are some titles that are confirmed to be coming out on launch time that are not included. (Disgaea 3 I am looking at you).

Disgaea 3 was confirmed for Japan, no where else yet.

The current release list is better than the 3DS release list, however everything could change.. Look at 3DS Zelda OOT. Judge it once they release the system and games but what I'm seeing now, its better than the 3DS.

A lousy port of a ten year plus game definitely didn't make the 3DS stand on any higher ground.

The core game itself shits on anything that appeared on PSP or PSP Vita in the future. Yeah it was a lazy port, Nintendo could have done much more than make it look a bit better but its a N64 game that still beats any PSP/PS2/PS3 title going.

I really don't think it aged well, I don't see it stepping over Twilight Princess or even Skyward Sword anytime soon.

Really? Twilight Princess is nothing to that game, for me its the worst of the 3D Zelda games (I dont include the 2.5D DS titles). By all means I prefer Wind Waker but OoT is a timeless gem and the 3DS version improves a lot especially as it takes those pre-rendered background parts away.

I'm a big Twilight Princess guy honestly, usually Zelda doesn't attract me on environments and stuff but it was really well designed in that area. Gameplay was fun and dungeons were well enough designed too. I tried Wind Waker but my save file got lost or something so I really don't speak on that. I tried OoT on Virtual Console and it just didn't impress me like people said it would.

I don't obviously live in EU, but where's LittleBigPlanet?

That was never said to be a launch title, only a "around launch" title.

 

[chris888222]

I don't think the Japan launch is this good, right?

Anyways great list. Gravity Rush and Uncharted will definitely be tops (Guild should be amazed).
Although I'm still a little skeptical over GR. I'm not too fond of racers (esp wipeout, I know many say it's a great game but I don't really like it.) so...

I'll likely pick this console up in a few months after launch or perhaps next year black Friday when my exams are over.

In my opinion, the simple fact it has Modnation Racers on it makes it the best possible list, as it's the only launch title I'm thinking "OMG I WANT NAO!!!!". I just really hope it comes to USA as a launch title too.

 

[koimayeul]

Hmm not bad line up, only Uncharted remotely interest me. Will wait for FFX remake eventually before i take the jump

 

[AceWarhead]

Man, even as biased as I am towards the 3DS, this line-up doesn't disappoint. But come 2012....

 

[Scott-105]

I know this is EU, I don't know if US games have been announced yet, but holy crap, Uncharted is launch!!!! I'm gonna buy Uncharted and a Vita day 1
