Nah. Unless the bundle lasts for a good while, and the Vita gets something other than Gravity Rush and Soul Sacrifice (I'm sorry, but I don't wanna call a PS2 port a reason to buy a Vita) Then I'll get it.
The PS4 is actually quite promising now, with Knack, InFamous: Second Son, Theif 4, (possibly) Shemue III and whatever they pull out at E3 already making it look ten times more appealing than the Vita.
Both Sony and Nintendo are pushing themselves to make improvments over their last mistakes. Of course I'm still not won over, but they still will be things I end up buying at some point.
They should really put PS2 titles on the PSN for the Vita, The vita games on there should be about the same size as the PS2 games. People would love to play PS2 games on the go. Seriously.
If this is true, then the PS4 will finally have another title with actual clout. But then again, 13 and the launch period of 14 have kinda sullied the series' reputation.
PCs are a whole different beast to consoles when it comes to games. Some games are better on PC (FPSes, RTSes, etc.) While other games are better on console (Fighting games, Platformers etc.) I don't really see why people are comparing them, mostly because PC's continually evolve while consoles stay the same before jumping up in power a fair bit for their next console.
@shinobi88 What? That is a stupid thing to say, Hardcore is nothing but a pathetic label so that Kids could play videogames and still feel like a big boy. I think the words that your'e looking for is "AAA"
And to be honest, you are sounding like a kid by saying things like "ZERO hardcore support, well then I wouldnt be no man". In terms of "These games aren't for gamers" Then does that mean that only kids and old grans play games like Etrian Oddessy and Monster Hunter IV? (The Monster hunter series, along with Kid Icarus Uprising, seem to fit your bill of "Hardcore") Seriously, not to be harsh, but you have a very flawed outlook on gaming, and you are brushing off a massive multitude of amazing games.
Aw man... I know right? the 3DS has no third party support! Man, looks at all them Vita exclusives out/coming out like Etrian Oddessy IV, Project X Zone, Ace Attorney 5, Bravely Default,Castlevania, Lords of Shadow, Adventure Time, Code of Princess, Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry's wonderland, Fantasy life, Guild 01/02, Kingdom Hearts 3D, Inizuma Eleven, Sonic Generations (different enough to be a new game rather than a port) Rhythm Theif, Shin Megami Tensei IV, Theatrethythm and Unchained Blades! ... . OH WAIT.
Seriously, there are other countries in the world than America, you know.
Makes sense, it has so many blind fanboys that milking them with microtransactions is the next logical thing. Maybe they think a flag will make them better a noscoping or some crap.
They should give it a rest, as with Ratchet and Clank, they are good series, but too many installments plus lack of spin offs make it a bit boring now.
Maybe they can reveive it at the end of the PS4's lifespan.
Why does the entire industry have to bow down to the almighty fps, games like galaga and touhou are far more worthy of the title "shooter" than those bland "AAA" sacks of crap will ever hope to be. Seriously, gaming is stuck in a MLG Hardc0rz rut and needs to get out of it wants to create the best experienses. As some guy (I forgot who it was) said, "It's suprirising that Sly 4 even exists in a market like this"
EDIT: Bloody hell, only 2 seconds and even I can see how butthurt I look here. But my point stands, FPSes as they are now are destroying gaming unintentionally.
Garpicz r teh best!!!!11!!!11!! Sew PS4 teh bes!!!!11!1
Seriously though, the PS4 needs more than graphics to win my heart, all the PS4 has done is remind me of how much gaming has declined. Aw man, I can see the seats in the car! So awesome! Shame it will be another dull-as-ditchwater driving sim. Aw man, Killzone! Shame killzone is crappy when the sheen of the pretty graphics is taken off.
I was talking to a friend about the PS4 conference (who only saw part of it) and when I said that there the medievil game shown there he actually got exited because he thought that it was a new MediEvil game (as in the PS1 game), but was dissapointed to see it as a generic fantasy game. Which just reminds me of how these seemingly dated games that are supposedly a thing of the past are far more cherished by pretty much everyone I know who has been gaming for a while than these supposedly groundbreaking new games.
But now on topic, makes sense, considering that the PS3 has a larger userbase than the PS4. But I do think that they should push themselves and make something truly good on the PS4.
Meh, I don't really care for EA's games, and they seem to get more medicore and blatantly money-grubbing as time goes on. I may not be the biggest fan of the PS4 at the moment, but this is no big loss.
Meh, as much as I'm a sony fan, this is pretty medicore, just art game, yet another driving game, another entry in the beauifully clunky Killzone series, Totally-not-Miiverse, and ports. And people complained about the Wii U, which at least had ZombiU and the promise of Smash.
Medevil game looks cool, though.
Man I do hope Naughty Dog announce a game for it, not like a trailer, but just an announcement for a new game. I hope it is Jak 4 or a completely new IP!

Re: Talking Point: Should Sony Double Down with a PS4 and Vita Bundle?
Nah. Unless the bundle lasts for a good while, and the Vita gets something other than Gravity Rush and Soul Sacrifice (I'm sorry, but I don't wanna call a PS2 port a reason to buy a Vita) Then I'll get it.
The PS4 is actually quite promising now, with Knack, InFamous: Second Son, Theif 4, (possibly) Shemue III and whatever they pull out at E3 already making it look ten times more appealing than the Vita.
Re: Could Mark Cerny and Yu Suzuki Be Discussing Shenmue III for PS4?
If this is so, then godamnit my body is now ready for the PS4.
Re: Battlefield 4 Screenshots Take Flight Ahead of Full Reveal
If they make it more like Battlefield 2 as opposed to 3, I'll buy it in a heartbeat.
EDIT: And what about a sequel to Battlefield 2142? That game was also great
Re: Reaction: PlayStation 4 Catches Second Wind at GDC
Both Sony and Nintendo are pushing themselves to make improvments over their last mistakes. Of course I'm still not won over, but they still will be things I end up buying at some point.
Re: American McGee Is Disappointed with the PlayStation 4
All aboard on the Wii U hate train, WOO WOO!!!
(And we're supposed to be "more rational" than the "Nintendo sheeples")
But seriously now, considering how the PS3 controller was just the PS2 controller, I think it's okay, the dualshock is a very good controller anyways.
Re: Killzone: Shadow Fall's Single Player Component Is Finished
I hope they use this time to do a good job. Might be the first good Killzone game, abliet still not really pushing what the PS4 can do.
Re: Jak & Daxter Collection Doubling Down on PlayStation Vita
They should really put PS2 titles on the PSN for the Vita, The vita games on there should be about the same size as the PS2 games. People would love to play PS2 games on the go. Seriously.
Re: Sony's Latest Patent Could Bring Trophies to Older Games
Trophies/achivements are really overrated. But I guess it could be a nice way to put something new into the older games.
Re: So, WayForward's Totally Working on a DuckTales Remake
@shinobi88
Yeeaahhh... They are still supporting the 3DS, and Capcom, rather than WayForward themselves, that are the publishers here.
Re: Yes, Final Fantasy X-2 HD Is Strutting onto PS3 and Vita
Oh god why. X is enough, Squeenix!
Re: SEGA Counting Down to New PlayStation 3 and Vita Announcement
Sonic Adventure 3 pls.
But seriously, it will probably be Yakuza or Valkyria Chronicles or some other thing like that.
Re: Store Update: 19th March 2013 (North America)
Hogs of war is an amazing game. It's pretty nice to see it again.
I remember seeing some articles in magazines a good while ago talking about Hogs of War 2 on the wii. I guess it's vapourware now.
Re: Review: Life of Pixel (PlayStation Mobile)
The "Castle of evil" seen in the trailer reminds me of Castle Lololo form Kirby's Dreamland.
Anyway this game looks like it could do with some more content, but I guess with a £1.59 price it probably won't feel like a ripoff if I bought it.
Re: Rumour: Final Fantasy XV Is Exclusive to the PS4, Sony Is Contributing to Development
If this is true, then the PS4 will finally have another title with actual clout. But then again, 13 and the launch period of 14 have kinda sullied the series' reputation.
Re: Rumour: Final Fantasy X-2 HD Is Also Coming to PlayStation 3 and Vita
Meehhhhh... I'd rather just stick with X thank you
Re: Geomerics Illuminates Impressive PS4 Lighting Demo
This could help immersion a bit. I hope to see this implemented in a lot of games.
Re: Analyst: PlayStation 4 Reveal Lacked Noteworthy Exclusives
Pretty Much. Needs more good games. The only interesting ones are Knack and inFamous: Second Son.
Re: PlayStation All-Stars Patch Notes Punch in Ahead of New DLC
Finally they Fixed Sir Dan's supers.
But why did Jak get some nerfs? it's not like he was anywhere near op? I hope the buffs he got compensate.
Re: The Last of Us Will Spook You for About 12 to 16 Hours
Sounds like a decent length. I am very intersted in this game, but when I heard that they did this instead of Jak IV, I died a little inside.

ANYONE?
Re: EA Games to Deploy Battlefield 4 Details on 26th March
Battlefield 3 was a souless shell of the amazing Battlefield 2.
At this point it's no better than COD.

Re: Talking Point: Are 'Game Over' Screens a Relic Best Left in the Past?
Unless you have a REALLY fun game(Ie. Kirby), a good challenge is almost nessessary to make a really good game.
Re: Japanese Sales Charts: Soul Sacrifice Pushes Vita Above 3DS
Yeah, might as well say that Soul Sacrifice is looking pretty sweet.
If/when I get a vita, that will be a game that I buy

Re: Japanese Sales Charts: Soul Sacrifice Pushes Vita Above 3DS
This is what the Vita needs, not "1337 grahpics" but good old fashioned games.
But the Vita still has a long road ahead, one mention of the word "Pokemon X/Y" or "Smash Bros. 3D" could take it right behind again.

Re: Controversial God of War: Ascension Trophy Name Squashed
Well this is kinda overblown... Seriously, it's just a trophy name and really wasn't anything intended to devalue women.

Re: PlayStation Vita Sales Surpass 62,000 Units in Japan Post Price Cut

Re: Retailer: PlayStation 4 Will Revive the UK's Flagging Market
As usual, people are jumping the gun...
Re: Talking Point: Is Sony Putting Too Much Faith in the Killzone Franchise?
Killzone is pretty much just a tech demo. Also more FPSes are the last thing we need.
Re: Minecraft Could Be Building a New Home on PlayStation
Minecraft is only good with mods on, so I'll pass.
Re: Thief Reboot Stalking PlayStation 4 in 2014
Yes, Theif is too good, looks like the PS4 is getting something that isn't a glorified tech demo.
EDIT: Theif is a lot older than Dishonored, just so you guys know.

Re: Guerrilla Games Helped Design the PlayStation 4's Controller
Why does the entire industry have to bow down to the almighty fps, games like galaga and touhou are far more worthy of the title "shooter" than those bland "AAA" sacks of crap will ever hope to be.

Re: EA Is Very Excited About PS4, But May Be Aligning with Microsoft

Re: Rumour: Sony Suggests Gran Turismo 6 Is Coming to PS3
GT is another one of those "Tech demo" games to me, so to be honest I'd be slighty confused if it was on PS3.

Re: Live: Watch The PlayStation 2013 Meeting Right Here
@get2sammyb That seems rather likely, the vita in particular needs one, if anything, it should encourage developers to make games for it a tad more...
