How is it that people say there are no good launch games? It has Uncharted from the start, a high quality title. When the 3DS came out, it didn't have a single killer app. I can't believe my eyes when i read that it lacks a launch line up, even the rest of the games apart from Uncharted are not even that bad. Compare that to the horrible third and first party 3DS games at launch, the only game worth it was SF.

Since when is Uncharted not worth playing or buying a system over?

Have you held a Vita? It has awful analog sticks.. Id try to avoid playing a third person shooter type game on it. :S I would have preferred two of the slide pad thingys the original psp had one of. I cancelled my pre order. I will wait a year then get it when its cheap.

I think it needs a name change as it sounds to much like Golden A'piss. :twisted:

millions of people buy nintendo products because of Mario. not many people buy Sony products because of nathan drake.

While mario is more popular it isn't' for everyone like any game and uncharted has sold millions so your obviously wrong. There are people like myself that prefer sony games to n's and I haven't tried uncharted and looking forward to it. Though I'm looking forward to resistance more sense I got my first taste on psp.

it is NOT made by Naugthy Dog and thats one of the reason the Vita is dead on arrival for now at least.Look what happened with Jak:the lost frontier when Naughty Dog didnt make the game and the franchise is now dead.Nintendo uses its main devs to make games like Mario 3d land(made by the Mario Galaxy team) and Sony uses some useless and unknow devs to ruin its games.Thats why Sony doesnt deserve to be in the handheld buisness and Vitas deadly sales are proving this.

no i am not "obviously wrong" personally i don't enjoy Mario games - however since they total well over 200 million units and mario basically IS nintendo, I did not say "everyone buys nintendo products for mario" i said "millions do" which is a fact . it is you who is wrong.

I was talking about being wrong with uncharted which could be vita highest selling launch title for all we know.

As great as Uncharted Vita is, it isn't the only great game the Vita has at launch. The Vita also has the next Modnation Racers game, which is obviously amazing. Put aside the lack of online mp. It's better than the PS3 game in every other way and I cant wait for it. It's got another great racing game with Wipeout. It has a proper Fifa game just the console game. It has some good little download games at launch like Escape Plan. It has some great games like Rayman Origins and UMVC3. It has another potentially good shooter with Unit 13. The Vita launch is just brilliant. Uncharted may be the "killer app" and the game that gets the most attention, but it isn't the only thing the Vita has a launch and I'm not even sure it will be the best game of the Vita launch. It will be a fantastic game regardless though.

Meh.... I have a PS3 and Uncharted 1,2 & 3....

not buying a Vita, no interest in it.... I have a 3DS meaning I have Zelda OoT, Super Mario 3D Land, tomorrow I'll have Resident Evil Revelations.... soon I'll have Luigi's Mansion 2, Paper Mario 3D, Kid Icarus... and so on.

My point is... I have no need of a Vita.

Scores mean nothing to me. I own every single one of sony bend's games for psp and all them are average at best titles made worse by psp's control limitations.

So you have no interest in Uncharted on Vita because you have Uncharted on PS3, yet go on to name a bunch of franchises you can play on Nintendo consoles. These double standards when it comes to the 3DS and Vita never cease to amuse me.

its not about doubles standards.Nintendo knows how to specifically design its games for the portables.Nintendo games feel like portable games in contrast to Sonys games which aspire to be similar to a console game experience.Plus Nintendo uses its main devs to make handheld games(e.g. Mario 3d land was made by Mario Galaxy team) but Sony uses some useless and rubbish devs to make its portable games:e.g Uncharted G.A. is not made by Naughty Dog and you get games like Jak:the lost frontier if the main dev doenst make the games.Sony is simply rippping off its customer with the Vita games.The philips Zelda games were rubbish becuase Nintendo didnt make them.

except ZELDA, MARIO and Resident evil are much more well loved franchises than uncharted, so its probably obvious he does't think Uncharted is gods gift to gamers. problem?

He has 3 Uncharted games. He obviously likes the series. You know as well as I do this is a double standard than 3DS fanboys use ALL THE TIME. It's not just him. People always use the "I can play these franchises on PS3 so I don't care about Vita" excuse to downplay Vita games. Yet nobody has a problem with playing console franchises on 3DS. It's just an excuse to downplay Vita. If Vita got a new GTA game, which by all accounts is a VERY popular and loved franchise, people would downplay that too and say you can play GTA on PS3. Yet once again, these console franchises are fine on 3DS. It's double standards and you know it.

I can't wait to see IGNs review of this game if it's reviewed by Greg "fat ass" Miller. He almost creamed his pants just unboxing the Vita. I'm sure he will give Uncharted a 9.5 out of 10.

True. The Vita has a great lineup of launch games. But even that can't quench the jelly thirst of those whose folks won't buy them one.

I really like Syphone Filter and Resistance: Retribution. Retribution showed that they are capable of handling another company's IP with quality. I'm convinced that if Golden Abyss were made by Naughty Dog it would be the same quality as it will be now.

It's not because you don't like their games that they are suddenly not a quality developer. I don't like MGS games, does that say anything about the quality of Kojima Productions ? No it does not.

I somewhat agree that TPS weren't a perfect fit for the PSP but the two analog sticks instead of one analog nub on the PSV should help that.

I would cream my pants for the Vita too, but not for Golden Abyss, no way... not even Greg Fatass.

I'm fairly certain Resident Evil Revelations isn't made by the same dev team that's making RE6. Yet he doesn't have a problem playing that. The dev that makes the game means nothing if it's a quality game. Funny how the difference in quality between Mario 3D Land and Mario Galaxy is so huge despite the fact it's made by the same team. Yet the difference in quality between Uncharted GA and Uncharted Drakes Fortune isn't even noticable. Dev team means nothing if it's a quality game. I don't know if Modnation Racers and Littlebigplanet Vita are made by the same dev teams and the PS3 games, but regardless they're better than the PS3 games.

As for the whole portable experience crap, it's a load of bull. It's an outdated and just plain wrong argument that 3DS fans use to downplay Vita. Vita has plenty of games that have the "portable experience". And since when was a handheld game playing just like a console game a bad thing? That's what we should all want. We should want to be able to play PS3 quality experiences on a handheld. Also OOT is a console port/remake and he mentioned that. Hardly made for the portable experience is it?

That's my reason for not being interested in Vita also, I have a PS3 that does all the same thigns except on a bigger screen. I can't play games designed the way they are for a 3DS on another system.

[QUOTE="sts106mat"] not really, i am a big fan of mass effect, had the first game and the second will be buying the third, read novels etc. But didn't choose an Iphone, when my contract was up for renewal even though Mass Effect galaxies is available on it, mainly because "mass effect galaxies" is nothing like the Mass Effect games experience on a handheld as it is on a console / PC, the main version will always be better.

I meant for portable users sounds like home console/pc is your preference. I can't play them anywhere why I have a portable course there is a 360/pc here if I ever feel the need but haven't in years.

It might be a solid game and a decent sellet on the PS3, but it doesn't have huge system-selling appeal (compared to Nintendo's or even Microsoft's flagship IPs), it isn't a household name, and it doesn't have a history with handheld gamers either. So it'll be interesting to see how the game sells. I'd imagine that it'll do very well, but calling it a 'killer app' might be taking it too far.

If n users wouldn't play mario just cause it was made by a different dev that's there narrow minded choice. I liked resistance and god of war on psp even if it was made by someone else though I've never played them before. But have socom and I still enjoy that series as well.

My god that handheld experience BS is overused and just plain wrong. It's hilarious to see such an outdated and stupid argument like that STILL get used. I'm tired of repeating myself. You 3DS fans can stay deluded if you want. Those of us that aren't fanboys(for the record I do have a 3DS), can see the Vita has plenty of experiences made specifically for Vita AND full console type experiences.

Not even slightly interested in Uncharted on Vita. Played the demo, plays exactly like the PS3 versions. Now what I am interested in is WipEout 2048 and Gravity Daze.

It's just an excuse to downplay Vita. If Vita got a new GTA game, which by all accounts is a VERY popular and loved franchise, people would downplay that too and say you can play GTA on PS3. Yet once again, these console franchises are fine on 3DS. It's double standards and you know it.

There is also the fact that the game is going to be exactly like those console games whereas the 3DS games are all generally designed differently to play on a handheld, or at least to play differently due to the duel screens. His point is, why buy another of a game extremely similar to one bought a few months ago. No double standard here, if Sony would design their handheld games for a handheld it would be the same as the nintendo handhelds. That's my reason for not being interested in Vita also, I have a PS3 that does all the same thigns except on a bigger screen. I can't play games designed the way they are for a 3DS on another system.

:lol:

My god that handheld experience BS is overused and just plain wrong. It's hilarious to see such an outdated and stupid argument like that STILL get used. I'm tired of repeating myself. You 3DS fans can stay deluded if you want. Those of us that aren't fanboys(for the record I do have a 3DS), can see the Vita has plenty of experiences made specifically for Vita AND full console type experiences.

I love how you boast about how his argument is wrong and outdated but you don't give any reasons to actually counter his argument.

[QUOTE="sts106mat"][QUOTE="p4s2p0"][QUOTE="sts106mat"] not really, i am a big fan of mass effect, had the first game and the second will be buying the third, read novels etc. But didn't choose an Iphone, when my contract was up for renewal even though Mass Effect galaxies is available on it, mainly because "mass effect galaxies" is nothing like the Mass Effect games experience on a handheld as it is on a console / PC, the main version will always be better.

I meant for portable users sounds like home console/pc is your preference. I can't play them anywhere why I have a portable course there is a 360/pc here if I ever feel the need but haven't in years.

well yeah, i dont really play on handhelds or phones, haven't for years, there are a couple of 360 franchises i like "Ace Combat" and "splinter cell" that have released games on the 3DS, i might pick them up and have a try on my sons 3DS one day, but i am in no hurry. likewise, if a Mass Effect or Halo game was announced for either 3DS or Vita, i really dont think i'd do much more than bat an eyelid.

I usually get both those series as well splinter cell is my fav for story tom clancy's good. On psp they had levels from all the series and some new which I found interesting. Ace combat is fun though I'm not doing so good online lol

[QUOTE="zeldisco2009"]

[QUOTE="burgeg"]So you have no interest in Uncharted on Vita because you have Uncharted on PS3, yet go on to name a bunch of franchises you can play on Nintendo consoles. These double standards when it comes to the 3DS and Vita never cease to amuse me.

burgeg

its not about doubles standards.Nintendo knows how to specifically design its games for the portables.Nintendo games feel like portable games in contrast to Sonys games which aspire to be similar to a console game experience.Plus Nintendo uses its main devs to make handheld games(e.g. Mario 3d land was made by Mario Galaxy team) but Sony uses some useless and rubbish devs to make its portable games:e.g Uncharted G.A. is not made by Naughty Dog and you get games like Jak:the lost frontier if the main dev doenst make the games.Sony is simply rippping off its customer with the Vita games.The philips Zelda games were rubbish becuase Nintendo didnt make them.

I'm fairly certain Resident Evil Revelations isn't made by the same dev team that's making RE6. Yet he doesn't have a problem playing that. The dev that makes the game means nothing if it's a quality game. Funny how the difference in quality between Mario 3D Land and Mario Galaxy is so huge despite the fact it's made by the same team. Yet the difference in quality between Uncharted GA and Uncharted Drakes Fortune isn't even noticable. Dev team means nothing if it's a quality game. I don't know if Modnation Racers and Littlebigplanet Vita are made by the same dev teams and the PS3 games, but regardless they're better than the PS3 games.

As for the whole portable experience crap, it's a load of bull. It's an outdated and just plain wrong argument that 3DS fans use to downplay Vita. Vita has plenty of games that have the "portable experience". And since when was a handheld game playing just like a console game a bad thing? That's what we should all want. We should want to be able to play PS3 quality experiences on a handheld. Also OOT is a console port/remake and he mentioned that. Hardly made for the portable experience is it?

we are talking about first party here and we are comparing the Sonys killer app with Nintendos.There is nothing to suggest,that capcom hasnt designed there games specifically for the 3ds more or less.I dont know how are you judging the difference in quality between Mario 3d land and Mario Galaxy but both games have above 90% on metacritic and are both top quality products.I dont why are you comparing Golden Abyss only with Uncharted 1,you should also compare it with Uncharted 2 and 3.In comparison to them it looks certainly like a step back and not a step forward.In 2008 the comparison would be fair but in 2012 you need to compare it with the more latest versions and the standards that we expect now from the franchise.

Vita has portable experiences but just like the PSP there are handful and very rare at best(locorocco e.g.)But in terms of killer apps and Sony first party on Vita the experince is too similar to the PS3 games and the quality is lower.Zelda OOT is a port and not a new game,Uncharted G.A. is not a port but a new game.It is about the overall philosphy behind the 3DS games,which tells us most of the games are specifically designed for a portable experince in contrast to Vita.OOT is simply an exception in the games library. And the real killer app for the 3ds are Mario 3d land and Mario Kart 7 anyway and both are specifically designed for a distinct portable experience and that is something I cannot say about any Vita killer app.

my poin in essence is:

Nintendo 3DS:Nintendos top quality devs produce top quality games with a different experience to consoles and specifically designed for handhelds

Vita:Sonys bottom quality devs involved and games have lower quality than the console versions and offer a very similar experience to the console games.

uncharted >>> whatever 3ds has right now great game series enjoyed everyone of them n i doubt this uncharted is gonna be any different the handheld devs for sony have more times then not made better games then the console devs god of war, resistance, rachet n clank, daxter from the jak series, and socom. as well as final fantasy crisis core n kingdom hearts being better then squares console games. vita is gonna be the system to own for mature games n more games that appeal to an older audience kids n casuals for 3ds these are the facts get use to it
