Sony Gamescom Conference

[Slyakin]

You have to admit though, in general, there are more worthwhile games to the average consumer than what there was in the 3DS launch. At this point in time, we've seen more of the launch titles too, and they're already looking fairly polished. For launch, it isn't half bad at all.

The second Uncharted title is leagues beyond the first one too.

As for quality, it in fact IS stunning, like you say. However, I can have the prettiest games ever for a system and they can still be lacking in gameplay. It does seem to be aiming at a much broader audience, so that's a good thing for the PSV. (Please note that I'm trying my hardest to not sound like I'm hating the PSV. I just want to be honest.)

And that's good to hear.

I want Uncharted: GA, Little Deviants and Super Stardust Delta. They look so good.

I'm interested in the Playstation Network experience for Vita, let's be honest, the PSP's version of 'PSN' was horrible. Now with the Vita, I'm able to earn trophies, chat with friends, and basically play games with my friends. All on an handheld system. This is something I'm really liking

.

 

[KingVamp]

I'm stuck between a ps3,wii u, vita, and maybe even "ps4".

Because the last console I own myself was a game cube.

Wii and PS3 I play on someone else. :/

Most likely get the Wii U.

Side note: I believe the launch of the 3DS had every genre aka try to appeal to everyone.

Holy crap Vita to have Facebook and others? Great job Sony you've got my... What's that word again??

 

[Slyakin]

To be honest, Facebook and those social things... I could care less about them. Nice to see them added, but I have a phone for that reason...

It's nice to at least be able to check your tweets/whatever while on your console though, the main thing I really want is skype.

Still, I'm more to games on what PSV offers. All games on PS Store? Digital downloads?

I understand where you're coming from. None of the social features are "deal makers" for me, but they are nice additions, and I appreciate the fact that with the system, I will always have the option to use them.

Lol.

I kinda wish that the cheaper PSP model came over to the States though. I could at least try and talk some friends into getting one and I can finally do some ad-hoc gaming.

 

[RupeeClock]

I don't understand the new PSP model at all.
No WIFI makes it undesirable, even at a discount. Used models are much cheaper than the £/€99 price
At that sort of price point, you can expect the PSP prices to drop following the Vita release anyway, making the wifi-less model obsolete.

This looks pretty desperate, but the motive behind this is confusing.

Honestly, how much online gaming do you see people do on the PSP? I have a PSP with PSN access and I haven't gone online to play a game once. At this point in its lifetime most online communities have dropped out.

You'll still have PSN Store access via Media Go and you still have access to Ad-hoc so you're not losing much.

What happened:
PS3 price drop everywhere, £249/$249

Hasn't the PS3 been £249 since the last price cut? I mean I bought the 320GB model with the GT5 bundle for £255 earlier this year.

@ Guild: i thought you couldn't ad-hoc without wifi?

Where were the JRPGs? Where were any RPGs?

Anyway, I've been meaning to get a PSP for a while, though if I decide against a Wifi-less version I'll be waiting a bit longer.

 

[Dingoo-fan 32]

Is worth buying a psp for play ps1 games?

Um... um... Find Mii

If that doesn't count then most genre.

Anyway, if I didn't have a psp,I'll would just get a used wifi one. That if it necessary.

 

[Joe88]

I actually predicted the price drop to $250 a few days ago, would have been alot better at e3 though

Facebook, Twitter, Skype... bah. looks like Apple's gonna get some competition. Nintendo, seriously, what the fuck? if they don't jump on this socializing bandwagon NOW, they will FALL. HARD. and that's coming from someone who loves Nintendo shitz. i love my 3DS, so put up some fight!

wtf is wrong with Nintendo execs these days... massively single online games... wtf. Everybody's moving in the direction of social convergence, and Nintendo moves away in the opposite direction, wanting to shelter their gamers from each other even more. *goes away sulking on off-topic rants*

• Vita will have Facebook, Twitter, Skype and 4squared.

I’m quite excited for the aforementioned social-media apps. I use Twitter a lot so this should help with my addiction. They also add to the value of the Vita.

• Vita will have trophies

This is nothing too special but a good addition nonetheless. The whole achievements system does add to the replay value of games and gives you extra bragging rights!

• All PS Vita games will be available for download via the PlayStation Store.

Really glad that this is happening. It’s helpful for lazy people like me who can’t be arsed to get up and go to the store although my bandwidth cap won’t really allow me to download many games.

• New Resistance game for Vita called Resistance Burning Skies, set before Resistance 2.

Haven’t played a Resistance game before but this looks pretty good. I’ll probably get it when I get a Vita.

• New Vita game called Reality Fighters, by Invizimals creators.

Doesn’t make too much sense. Nintendo tried something similar (fighter with augmented reality) and it wasn’t much of a hit. I don’t see why Sony thinks they’ll succeed with this.

• Another new Vita game, Escape Plan

This game looks really interesting. The characters are really cute although the game itself appears to be quite gory. And the art-style is gorgeous.

• New WiFi-less PSP Model E-1000 coming this fall for Europe, only £99. (More details)

The new PSP looks like a gimped PS Vita. It doesn’t have WiFi and has mono speakers. The system itself is beautiful, though. It’s not much of a good value, though as the PSP Go is available for purchase at prices on par with this model. I probably won’t purchase it.

• Sony’s take on a fitness game for Playstation Move called Move Fitness

Not interested in this. This is just Sony trying to capitalize on the casual fitness market. To be frank, I thought that died down a while ago (with Wii Fit and EA Sports Active).

• Another Move title. DanceStar Party

Reminds me of Just Dance for the Wii. Not really interested in this but it looks like it’ll be good fun at parties and other occasions

• New PS3 game InFamous 2: Festival of Blood

This looks pretty good. I haven’t played the original InFamous, though. I should probably do that first before I get this.

• PS3 price drop everywhere, £249/$249

Since I was already planning on getting a PS3 sometime this month, the price-drop is something I’m glad happened.
Yes, I know I copy-pasted this from the blog I just made, don't hate me for it. ;O;
