What went so fucking wrong?

>>714094119 (OP)
No games.

Zero interest from publishers.

>>714094119 (OP)
A few years after release, the psp still had games shown at e3 by Sony. I can't say the same about the vita.

>>714094119 (OP)
1. No games
2. Too expensive

Remont the PSP CPU, back touch pad and maybe cameras, make spin-offs of your flagship titles for PS Vita, basically do the things that made PSP a success.

Memory cards mostly, I think price was also a factor. Probably could have used something that was more of a killer app to get more normalfags in as well.
But it's a pretty decent little system. Plenty of games to play through, though a lot of the worthwhile exclusives have been put onto other systems now.

Nothing it was fine. Its over now tho, move on

Cucklifornia.
Vita died in Japan in 2019 despite SIE cutting all support to it in all other countries in 2016.
Also I remember the drastic drop in support of the Vita happened exactly in 2013 with tlou success that made the switch of Playstation HQ to commiefornia.

As yet again you can blame fully the american jews.

>>714094119 (OP)
no PS2 compatibility

I want to move to California, I hate my state.

>>714094119 (OP)
Overpriced memorysticks

>>714094720
>Its over now tho, move on
Vita has only got good now with homebrew though so you're incorrect.

Fucking homebrew had to port GTAs and it's also now the best machine for Dead Space mobile game (that is actually great).
Not to mention Cuphead and plethora of other ports.

>>714094837

Yeah people that shit on California are just mad they live in a shitty part of the country. It's OBJECTIVELY the best place to live if you have money. NYC is fun to visit but honestly the main draw is the high paying jobs, if you can just move anywhere in America I can't see someone choosing somewhere else.

"East Coast" is just shorthand for NYC, don't know why you'd move to Boston, Philly, etc if you have the OPTION to live in Cali

They abandoned it. Good for jap games though.

>handheld is kid market
>premium 1000$ adult price

who the fuck is buying two of these for a brother and sister?

These companies need to stop making shit so outrageously unaffordable

>>714094931
>ports ports ports ports
Any exclusive homebrew for it?
>Vita Fighters
For now. It's getting a PC port. Anything else?

>>714094119 (OP)
Handheld gaming was already losing popularity due to the rise of social media and proliferation of smart phones. The Vita just came out when it was all over. Keep in mind the PSP was not as popular as people would have you think. The 3DS suffered the same fate as the Vita to a lesser extent (it actually had games worth a damn to play).

>>714095071
too many trannies

>>714096660
They don't affect you

>>714094119 (OP)
no support from sony once they settled their playstation HQ to california, aside from trying to sell their overpriced garbage memory sticks.

>>714094119 (OP)
>pricey memory sticks
>literal no games.
>trying to survive with coomer shit on the few left.
I enjoyed my Vita but there's only coomer shit and low effort animeslop on it.

>>714096780
They affect my eyes.

>>714094119 (OP)
Touchscreen meme and no games only weeb comics.

>>714094119 (OP)
What should I be using for emulators on this thing? Namely Genesis, GBA, NES, and SNES. The Retroarch app is neat but I'm not convinced those cores are as optimized for the Vita as they could be, as I can't keep a consistent 60fps in Sonic 3 despite everyone saying the Vita runs genesis games perfectly.

>>714095071
Living in Boston is great. I fucking hate it here.

>>714095071
Here in connecticut I can drive down main street without passing a homeless camp. Can you say the same?

>>714094119 (OP)
Not enough games. And Handheld were slowly dying due to mobiles. So not enough developers supported it.

>>714094119 (OP)

>>714099748
I want to try emulating psp games since I never tried the system. What are some psp games that aren't cutscene/dialogue filled slop?

>>714099831

>>714094119 (OP)
Not many people knows this but MGS4 almost got a PSvita version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Naj5w1dwoy8

>>714094119 (OP)
expensive
memory cards
no games
piss-poor marketing

>thread is about the PS vita
>bring up PSP for no reason
Anyway, it's better to name what's good about the PS vita than the bad. Here's one right now, the separate pool of VRAM helped it get more ports and original games than most people would think it got.

In term of powers, how was it? stronger than a PS2 but weaker than a PS3?

>>714094837
>>714095071
This isn't 2005

Every California city is a shithole for regular people. Only the uber rich leftists enjoy it

>>714100021
same thing basically
>>714099896
are the tekken games any good on psp?

>>714099748
Most of those sales were outside of the US/JP/EU regions, unlike Nintendo's. That's why it had so little cultural impact in the anglosphere.

It wasn't a glorified skinner's box. It was a great console with good games and gamers have shown times and times again that they don't actually care about those kind of things.

>>714100216
What are some other great consoles with good games?

What we playin boys? We got...
>A bad Resistance game
>A bad Uncharted game
>A bad Ridge Racer game
>A bad Silent Hill game
>Censored Visual Novels

A lot of exclusives on the console that can't be played anywhere else like uhh...

Drive Girls.

Hmmm... Proprietary memory cards, gotta be what did it in.

>>714100216
It had some pretty good starting lineup, the issue is that there was barely any more games made for it after that, even more internationally. It's like everyone gave up on it instantly.
The 3DS had less games than the DS, but it still got plenty of releases until at least 2016.

>>714100426

>>714099831
Dissidia, Freedom Unite, Yakuza black panther, Dead Head Freed, WipEout Pulse, Every Extend Extra

>>714100021
I much prefer the PSPs buttons. Rectanfle shoulder buttons and larger face buttons.

>>714099831
Neopets the wand of wishing

>>714094119 (OP)
Sony killed it

>>714100281
The Dreamcast is the prime example but the PSP is in that category too. Most people that bought it outside of Japan did it to play SNES games on it. It was not before the release of PPSSPP that gamers began that rediscover its game library.

>>714100443
If by "plenty of releases" you mean Pokemon games, your right otherwise the 3DS library is an abject failure compared the to NDS.

handhelds are dumb because nobody uses them outside of plane trips a few times a year

>>714100798
>otherwise the 3DS library is an-ACK

>>714094837
I don't want to move there per se, but I wouldn't mind taking a vacation there one day. Sometimes I watch the LA or Bay Area news to feel more important than I actually am.

>>714094119 (OP)
Too expensive and by the time it came out, no one cared about HD gaming on handhelds.

>>714100878
That's due to mobiles, before these they were far more common

>>714099503
Try overclock and different cores in RA. Make sure rewind is disabled, that eats up CPU.

>>714095071
I would never live in a city with a population over 50,000

>>714100897
I'm supposed to be impressed by the worst version of a Wii U game released 4 year into the lifespan of the console ? I agree its one of the best game of the 3DS and it's so fucking sad.

>>714094119 (OP)

It's a good device, just bad marketing and no games. Hacked, it's a GREAT device with good controls. It's the only reason I haven't bough the more expensive chink retro devices.

>>714098125

>>714099503
There's a port of Sonic 3 A.I.R. that runs great on the Vita, you should play that instead. I know that's a special case but there are also ports of Sonic 1, 2, CD, and Mania.

>>714094175
>>714094447
>>714094586
The atelier plus games are better than the entire N64 library

>>714101986
They run at 20 fps with drops

>>714094447
>>714094478
>no games (despite its compatibility with its predecessor)
>too expensive
>overpriced memory cards
that sounds familiar....

>>714102253
That's the prime Atelier experience. You would not even know.

>>714099503
For GBA the gpsp core is the best by far. Every game I tried it on worked properly, sounded right, and ran at the right speed. For SNES I think the 2005 core has the best balance of performance and accuracy, but it probably varies by game. Start a game with 2010 and work backwards if it runs like shit. Haven't tried NES or Genesis yet so I can't comment on those.

>>714094119 (OP)
>snoy getting pissed off that it didn't sell as well as the 3ds,
>because it had fewer games than the 3ds,
>so sony decided to get fewer games for it and stop supporting it,
>and this resulted in [loop]

it sucks. awesome technologically speaking, had some great features, was nice in the hands. this could have succeeded if sony decided to not be bitchy. also, if they had cut support for the psp. as we've seen, nothing was learned, and both xbox and playstation are being continually dragged down and kneecapped by older gens. it really sucks because there's no consumer-friendly way to do this. either you basically lock in your new console to being soft launched for years, or you cut support for prior consoles past basic security features.

>>714102312
The thing is, vita didn't have a full compatibility with PSP, it could't play UMD discs, only some games were available on PSN, and almost no one bought digital games back then, that's also why PSP Go was a commercial failure.

>>714102253
Not an action game doesn't matter. Also worth it for the high environmental detail

>>714094119 (OP)
All of the PSP's weaknesses without any of the (relative) strengths.

>>714102662
>almost no one bought digital games back then
THen you could get away with only buying a 8gb card at launch since every game had a physical release, making the "memory card pricing" issue completely mute. The real reason why nobody bought it at launch was because it could not run Pokemon, that's it. Handheld gaming in the west is centered around pokemon and nothing else since 1998.

>>714103136
>3ds had faltering sales coinciding with pokemon games becoming more and more shit
you might be onto something here

>>714103136
No, it's because it couldn't play GTA, MonHun, Gran Turismo, Ratchet and Clank, really any of the games that helped make the PSP popular. Also yes, the memory card pricing was indeed an issue.

>>714103136
Don't talk about things you weren't around for.

>>714094119 (OP)
suffered the same symptoms of the Wii U

>>714103376
The joke is that the PSP was not that popular in the west. Yes, Sony sold a lot of console and these were among its most popular games, but most people bought a PSP at the time to hack it and play emulator on it, that's a fact.
Nobody was actually buying PSP games which is why the Vita had no western support at launch. Only a few weebs were buying games in a time when "japaneses games" were seen as bad compare to western one, it was the late 2000s, remember.

>>714103718
I was there during the days of the PSP and I was probably the last bozo to buy that Black Rock Shooter game on the PSP PSN the day it closed.

>>714096660

Just avoid them. Like theyre maybe 1-2% of the population there.

>>714099628

Yeah you live somewhere cold where the homeless aren't but that state is basically just a suburb for rich New Yorkers. It's pretty shit as an actual state in terms of what it has to offer on its own.

>>714100054

The entire country has gotten shittier in the past 20 years. Please name better places to live and why. Most will just be for cost.

>>714101274

There are small towns in California, feel like villages with a bunch of Redwoods around them.

Also back on topic it says it all when the best things you can say about the PSP and Vita is that you can easily use them to emulate better systems made by nintendo lol

The Vita literally has games. 1732 games, that's one thousand, seven hundred and thirty two games native for Vita, plus it can play tons of PSP, minis, and PS1 games.
