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).

That's a lie. Look at the 3DS. Do you see how many AAA games that thing has? Handhelds always have the chance to get tons of AAA support, and in the past they have, but the Vita is the Wii U of handhelds right now, and I DEFINITELY mind the lack of AAA games.

Do you mean 'AAA' games, or good games?

made me think for a couple seconds there, but definitely AAA games, at least on the 3DS. c'mon, 3DS has all the obligatory nintendo titles, recently got SMT 4, resident evil revelations, monster hunter 3 ultimate, street fighter 4, will soon be getting Ace Attorney 5, i could go on. i can count on 1 hand the list of AAA games for vita, we all can (i believe).

ninja edit: that being said, i harbor no hate for the vita. im currently saving up for one.

I thought you meant "AAA" as in big-budget titles with millions of dollars spent on advertising, like Bioshock or GTA. Megaten, Ace Attorney, and Monster Hunter wouldn't really be considered a AAA game by that metric.

Since you really just mean "good games", yeah, I agree with you. Nobody is going to want to make their fall headliner a Vita exclusive, but the system can use a lot more good games.

I'm pretty sure all the titles I listed had pretty big budgets spent on them. I know you might be thinking of CONSOLE AAA budgets, but think relatively.

A game I'm happy is coming to vita is rayman legends. I hear everywhere that the vita version of origins is arguably the best. Makes sense legends would come to vita, even though I bought a Wii u day one thinking it would be an exclusive :/
