Dengeki's was an interview with Kaz (GT) for their 20th anniversary issue. The Bloodborne announcement was an Alpha Test recruitment or something.

VV Takao summed it up better. VV

PS4 GAF went crazy during TGS. There was a Dengeki 20th Anniversary livestream that resulted in the announcement of a magazine. A live stream by one of SCEJ's producers had them exhibiting games on the show floor. SCEJA's super secret special announcement was a Bloodborne beta.

But you (and we) already know the answer.
-They launched with a bunch of AAA exclusives like Uncharted, Vitas stayed on shelves.
-They brought us spinoffs of popular Sony franchises like KZ: Mercs and Resistance and they didn't sell.
-They got third parties to bring us spin offs / ports of popular franchises like Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, and Borderlands 2... and people hated on them all.
-They created unique exclusives tailored to the hardware like Gravity Rush and Tearaway, and they didn't sell.

What do you want them to say? That? Why in the world would they say that in an interview? You need to stay positive in an interview and speak about the positives, not fester in the failures.

And those successes are huge:
1) They finally found a market Vita owners would embrace -- indies and localizations.
2) Remote play.

If an interviewer asks them if we're going to get, say, TLOU Vita, the only intelligent answer is to focus on remote play. Giving all the reasons the answer is 'no' would be... awful.

EDITED TO ADD: I'm currently playing Transitor on my Vita via remote play. It's fantastic, and will hold me over till Natural Doctrine. Now, Transistor would likely work on Vita, and perhaps we'll get it. But in the meantime? It's a fantastic option. Like, every time I use it I think it's black magic, and my wife is similarly amazed. Sony should be shouting about this tech from rooftops.

Vita is the best device for a dad, ever.

Also those memory card prices hurt the appeal of the Vita big time.

I love my vita though.

Today I opened PSNprofiles and noticed a very sad thing..."Completed" from TxK just became one of the 5 rarest trophies I got which means that just 1% of the people (100 out of 8000 circa) actually finished the game, and that just 3%(250 out of 8000) actually got halfway through the game.

These have to be the lowest numbers ever for an IGC game, and it's a fucking shame given how great this game is.

For those who do JP imports or use JP PSN, now is a great time to do your shopping/stock up on PSN cards. The yen sharply dropped this month and is at the lowest it's been since 2008.

You can get a 10,000 yen card on Nippon Yasan for just $101. Such price parity

I think I'm done with Tales Of Xillia 2 and this means that I'm kinda done with my PS3 too. Over 7 years with the old phat, not my favourite console by a mile, but we had a good time overall. Now it's back to the WiiU and waiting to snipe a good offer on a PS4, but with Samurai Warriors 4 being the only title I really want until next year, I'm not in a hurry. Still hoping for that PS4-announcement of Zesteria, really unsure if I'd get it for old-gen next summer.

And now: back to DR2, already on Chapter 4. While the last trial was kinda weak, the aftermath was glorious. :D

Pretty fun so far. The voice acting is a bit over the top but it fits for this game.

That is a commendable female anime face page! I have many of those female anime faces as well! But on track, yea the VA can be a bit over the top, one reason I prefer japanese voices because I notice it less. Though it really makes me curious what "yoyu yoyu" means, as they say it in both Neptunia and Totori.

Marketing or not, even people that knew about Tearaway and Killzone weren't buying them... it was a busy season with many alternatives to attract the consumer dollar, but not having a presence in that season wouldn't have been a good idea either.

Thanks for the tidbit! I'll probably grab a 10,000yen card later.

Anyone else hoping against hope that the new PS plus games will be revealed this week?

I really want something meaty to play and I've been thinking about diving into one of the Souls games but that rumor makes me think one of them'll be free soon.

Can't go more meaty than Soul Sacrifice Delta.

Demon Souls has already been free for PS+ before, so you won't have to worry about that.

Don't feel too bad, you can easily spend 10+ hours enjoying the game but not reach the end in TxK! I'm sure tons of people just haven't got beyond the first 10 or so levels.

Definitely an aquired taste though.

(loved it from day one)

You can safely bet that Demon's Souls wont be on PS+ because it already was, and Dark Souls wont be on PS+ because there is no download version of it on PSN. I kind of doubt Dark Souls 2 would be for PS+ either since the game is so recent that the final DLC isn't even out, but I am not sure about that one at all.

Has anyone tried remote play from long distances? Maybe even across countries?
Click to expand...

there is some videos online from across the world. it works just need good wifi. My friend is in europe and is remote playing to the NA West Coast, and he says it is fine. Maybe about a quarter sec lag. Fine for most SP games maybe not for compettive online.

Even the games you mention as Sony "hitting it out of the park" had problems in their release. Killzone isn't a big IP and Mercs was overshadowed by the PS4 game launching weeks later. Tearaway was sent to the paper shredder by launching the same day as Xbox One, Mario 3D World and Zelda 3DS. Neither of them received any kind of noticeable promotional push in North America either.

THIS
- and they expect the games to sell well
- and those PS4 owners port-begging them because Vita sucks, because Vita does not deserve these games

Yea yea I know PDF is on my to buy list. At this point I was waiting on a sale though. Same with the rest of the Atelier games. I've got about $40 in PSn cards coming this week and was hoping for something to go on sale. I may hold off on D4 since I still haven't beaten D3 yet and was eyeing One Piece Red.

Just bought Arcana Hearts 3 Love Max vita from Crunchyroll. No tax or shipping and they also give a shitty anime DVD with the game, lol.

Hopefully the game arrives this week. Anyone have some experience buying anything from the Crunchy store?

Not really feeling Natural Doctrine. :/
Click to expand...

All the hate feeds my desire.

I want to play it into the ground. The screens showing a full combat turn that look like John Madden and Resonance of Fate had a love child make me blush like a school girl in love. The cries of 'it's too hard' make me swoon with lust. The tales of people not being able to get past the first or second level make me shiver with anticipation.

I need it. I need it now.

Chilly. Ask SEGA's fan how they are feeling, and you will know that localization is godsend.

I'm pretty sure it's not tea, but something along the line of this.

Clocked 5 hours into Neptunia Re;Birth 1 and I have to say it's much more enjoyable than I expected. I think it's better than anything S-E throwing out for the last several years, aside from FFXIV. The game is brutal, though. I didn't expect the difficult spike right at 2nd chapter. Got wiped out several times until I know I can equip EX moves, lol, and it's not a breeze either.

Well, so far it's not that hard. Just a bit boring. Switching over to the Vita version in a bit though.
