Sony confirms Call of Duty on Vita this fall.

This will be a game changer, at least in NA.

Haha. That's me. Love PA.

If you could some how level up your stats while on the go, COD gamers will be over it even more.

 

[Electro UK]

Hopefully Elite plays a big part in it. Mobilizing that would be big for the Vita.

 

[Nathan]

Those would almost be guaranteed Vita sales. Hopefully they realize that.

I wonder what CoD it will be. Part of me thinks it will be something new.. give CoD players reason to go out and buy the Vita. I'm not the biggest CoD fan in the world.. But I'd buy it on the Vita.

I think it will be something original. If not it will most likely be a multiplatform release of this year's edition Actually that doesnt sound like a bad idea especially if it takes advantage of transfarring and has cross-platform play with the PS3 version. Now that could be HUGE

 

[Benstamania]

Yeah, maybe get an original title and "Black Ops 2" or whatever. Sony will have a HUGE E3 with CoD news for the Vita.

I almost feel this is something they shouldnt have mentioned till E3, but I guess they feel maybeit could help early sales of the system even if the game wont be coming out till later

I wonder if Microsoft will get their own Call Of Duty for XBOX Live Arcade ? Surely if the Vita gets their own. Then Microsoft would no doubt be saying something to Activision about it. Time will tell with E3. But Hand Held wise. Call Of Duty has never helped moved Hand Helds has it ?

I dont see why Vita getting COD would have any direct bearing on MS as they dont have a handheld on the market. Are you saying Activision would create a COD specifically for digital distribution on XBLA? I dont see the point when they already have one set for this fall as they do every year and they make plenty of money off of that one with their DLC which always sells well.

CoD has never been on a handheld with dual analog sticks. That setup is vital for the FPS genre and without it the controls are gimped and an otherwise good game just doesnt play well. The Vita can not only mimic the console experience in terms of controls, its powerful enough that it can stand toe to toe with them in terms of visuals. I can see this selling systems.

To bad Sony is ****** at marketing. They will have to tell the uneducated the differences. But they probably won't

 

[Benstamania]

When the Vita gets its own exclusive en Call of Duty you can bet that it will be advertised though the roof.

 

[Electro UK]

It darn well better be.

 

[Benstamania]

Played the Vita for an hour in Gamestop today, lol. I've decided to not get Hot Shots Golf.. Instead I'll get UMvC3 with Uncharted and Wipeout.

Wipeout looks stunning

 

[Superhero 101]

Went to Best Buy And got my two games UMvsC3 and Uncharted Also got a Case. But i think i will return it.

 

[ttotheusher]

Did they ever confirm whether Uncharted: Golden Abyss will have any 'interaction' with Uncharted: Drakes Deception? Even if it's just a couple of mulitplayer skins, would be cool.

 

[Havok83]

I just came back from playing it at a Best Buy Kiosk. and here are some criticisms. I think the thing is too big, at least for me. I think Id be more intersted in the ineivtable slim model. I also found the analo sticks to be too small. I dont have big hands, but it felt off especially being so used to a DS3. Speaking of which, after wanting a 2nd analog stick for so long with the PSP, I found myself no using it on the Vita. I kept forgetting it was there while playng Uncharted and in Gravity Crush, I preferred to use the motion sensing.

I heard lots of comparisons to this thing looking almost as good if not better then a PS3 and thats not true. Vita looks great for a handheld but I wouldnt say any of the games look better than what the PS3 has to offer. Id say the Vita is to the PS3 what the PSP was to the PS2. Good, but not quite. Especially when looking at the character models and fire effects in Uncharted, it doesnt look as good as UC1 from 4 and a half years ago

Out of the games I played, easily the best game was Gravity Rush. I see that being a sleeper hit. The art style is soo good and I loved the comic inspired cutscenes. The gravity mechanic is so fun and different from what you see in other games. If I were to get a Vita, this would be the first game I got. I hope others check out the demo and give it a chance. You'd be surprised!

 

[Electro UK]

Gravity Rush recently got a 9/10 from Eurogamer. Based on that I'd say it's likely Vita's best full title at the moment. Very excited about it myself.

Thats great. Uncharted is getting all the buzz, bc its well...Uncharted but I found GR more enjoyable. I didnt even know that was a Sony title made by Japan Studio, who I love and think make great games with unique style

 

[Benstamania]

I loved the size, it felt like I was holding 300 bucks. I think Uncharted Golden Abyss looks about as good as the first Uncharted.. Wipeout also looks stunning.

You didn't use the 2nd analog stick!? I took to that baby like a duck to water.

 

[Superhero 101]

I feel stupid that i bought two games yesterday at Best Buy and totally forgot about the buy two games get a third one for free deals at Gamestop and Target.
