I just read Destructoid’s review for the Vita and for Uncharted, it sounds absolutely awesome. They said it has 30 chapters, and is around the 12 hour mark, for a handheld game that is damn nice. And like they say…this is a launch game, Vita’s future could and SHOULD be very bright. Here’s hoping it is very bright indeed.

@6 Gravity Rush will probably be out before May. I believe it’s still being localised is the reason for the delay. Considering the Asian release initially was supposed to have English but didn’t make it to retail suggests that there was a small localisation delay.
I’m expecting it before May personally but we could see it in launch window as per Yoshida’s last tweets on the subject.

I didn’t hear of a delay on Gravity Rush. I thought it was still on for launch.

It hasn’t been day one for a while now, has stopped showing up on launch lists from some point in January.
But it’s still in the launch window so anywhere within 1-2 months of launch. Game’s doing well in Japan though they only shipped out 30kish copies approx (I hear it’s sold out, not sure but the low number of initial copies is unfortunate) but it is probably being bought decently digitally based on ratings estimates on the JP PSN store.

Gravity Rush looks awesome, but i just can’t understand why the hell it’s a PSN only title in europe.

disappointing reviews so far, Fifa 11 on the Vita? UTTERLY DISAPPOINTING. Why they didn;t just port 12 over is beyond me.

@14, i think there are localization problems because it is too niche. It’s not Call Of Duty.
There is that anime/manga art style with interesting plot and stylized world. I’m not sure that Gravity Rush will sell, so PSN only title is the only thing i guess.

Damn that sucks, but ah well. I’m probably getting a Vita with just Shinobido 2. I’ve seen alot of videos, read a few reviews, and aside from some A.I. issues, it’s very similar to Tenchu amd is especially fun.

All the other games…they will come later. Hell, i don’t even need a memory card for this game, sweet.

The reviews seem unfair on wipeout, i think they’ve given what the users want. Wipeout HD’s tracks bore me.
