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 ...

The one "Oh my god" game was Borderlands 2, the one i already told you about, so the Neogaf guy was right. Lego Marvel is pure shit, but, as its been announced on the event, I think it will be a complete port from the big consoles, and not another little recut for Vita.
ReplyDeleteAs you said, lot of stuff we already know, and thats is all about PS4/Vita Cross Play and indies licking asses (which isnt bad, but since the E3 has become to excesive and today Sony licked a lot of asses).
No bundle of PS4-Vita and no Gaikai for the moment. I understand that for Q3/Q4 2014 Gaikai will take the first steps so only rumors and official updates will come till GDC/E3 comes next year with all the info.
You signed up for a Vita for all those games, as all of us. But for the moment, Sony today has finally told the user that no third parties support is coming soon, at least, the Vita grows in sales.
This is what Sony told (or confirmed, depending or your perception about what is happening with Vita) today to their fans, if you read between lines since E3 came and no Vita Heaven 2 Event happened:
“We dont have any third party working hard for us in AAA games, as Vita productions arent profitable and the console isnt selling. We´ve convinced Gearbox to do a port for Borderlands 2 and we have -only- another two contracts for 2014, but we wont announced it until E3, so dont expect big titles till Q3 2014. If the console have more market with this price cut, things could change.
Speaking about us, we have all our first parties working or helping for PS4, except the small divisions from studios like Sony Japan who will be doing little games. Dont expect anything soon from us, except our fantastic indie games, which should sell you the console, right?
Yes, our console is fucked up, on our side, and on thirds side. We will keep this situation till the console have enough market… Some day”

But ey, Borderlands 2 is really cool, isnt it? :p
