Having been wowed by the news of the Vectrex Mini at Gamescom , I rushed off some questions to VectrexOn's main man David Oghia . After a post-event, well earned, break, he's kindly given us a lot of detail about the project and some new images of the unit to share. His story mirrors mine somewhat, Vectrex represents a glowing, unaffordable, obelisk of gaming power from our youth! But he's had the energy and drive to do something about it, and met the right people to get the job done! What first got you interested in Vectrex and what spawned the idea of a Mini version? I’ve always been passionate about retro-gaming, but my first love was computers rather than consoles — the ZX81, then the Commodore 128. I only really discovered the console world in the late 90s, which is when I got my very first Vectrex. Of course, I had seen it in stores back in 1983, but at that time it was far too expensive for me. Today, I own five Vectrex systems at home. Vector-based games ...

No Vita isn't dead, read @shahidkamal twitter vonversations ;) quote "big titles take time to cook, announcements coming Q3 and Q4, very close to the actual time of release.
ReplyDeleteI trust Shahid, but there are plenty of other Q3/4 games being shown off here. Sony had the world watching and showed them nothing, a cardinal sin. Whatever it shows later this year will be too little too late.
DeleteI dont trust Sony anymore about their Vita management. If there was going to be a moment to announce any bomb, it was this time, where millions are in front of the streaming waiting for all media revolution.
ReplyDeleteShahid Kamal Ahmad was a liar, unless he was talking about Destiny of Spirits, which is pure crap for someone looking to buy Vita.
As the author says, I dont expect anything big or AAA for Vita this year. Nothing. Killzone Mercenary and Tearaway will be beatiful hits, but not nuclear bombs, as every indie game in Vita.
Sony has shown with their presentation show that they have nothing to do with Vita until they are able to take first parties who have already finished their games for PS4.
They are only looking for some smoke by bringing Indie Support and Hd Editions. I love both, and the second one was enough for me to buy (J&D, MGS, GOW, Sly... Yes, I love them so much that Ill buy the console only to replay them again everywhere...).
But... That wont be in a close future for the moment. What is worse, considering myself a grat sonyer, Im really looking forward to pick a 3DS XL with the Gateaway flashcard. Thats a bad handheld, yes, but full of GREAT GAMES, including those from the original DS.
Who knows, maybe Gamescom or TGS will bring some surprises (man, bring that damned KH HD edition to Vita, for god sake! Square Enix should even port Final Fantasy XI Online). Maybe some interesting game will appear... But I dont expect any Final Fantasy, any GTA, any Resident Evil... I dont expect anything from Third Parties great Ips. And that is Sony´s fault. Hell, Levine was exited for creating a exclusive Bioshock and they dont want to put the money.
PD. I forget... Fifa 14 or COD? When Third parties deliver something... It really have to be this shit?
