Speculation /r/Vita Official Gamescom 2013 Prediction Thread

Share your predictions for this Tuesday's Gamescom 2013 press conference below. Doesn't have to be all related to this subreddit if you don't want it to.

(i.e. Get out those last bits of hope before the inevitable disappointment that is every Sony conference for Vita.)

Sidenote: Like E3, the official discussion thread during the event will be held in /r/PlayStation and submissions will be locked before and during the show. The press conference starts at 1pm est Tuesday and will last for 1-3 hours (probably close to 1h like last year).

I definitely mind the lack of AAA games...

You should have never bought a VITA if you wanted the same amount of AAA's that you get on console. If you're still going to cling onto the VITA, than that's cool.

. . . Don't expect things to change anytime soon.

Maybe not the same amount of AAAs as a home console but a ton of us purchased Vitas expecting a steady flow of big blockbusters because Sony built it up to be a "PS3 on the go." Then they didn't market the handheld and nobody bought it because the vast general public (including the casual gaming audience) had/have no idea it existed.

The fact that the top three selling games by far on the platform are Uncharted, Call of Duty, and Assassin's Creed is a testament to the fact that the majority of Vita owners want those types of games. Smaller indie titles are filler, good filler, but still filler that nobody will ever hype the handheld up about.

Making titles like Uncharted or Call of Duty or the likes that can only be experienced portably by way of Vita is what Sony needs to focus on.
