E3 2015: Couldn't Sony have shown these 51 upcoming Vita games at its E3 keynote?
I'll only take a minute
I'll admit, Sony had a pretty packed E3 press conference. Between making nerd dreams come true and selling the last few holdouts on a PS4, it didn't have much room to spare.
But surely it could have found the time to play this minute-long sizzle reel that reminds us all, hey, the PS Vita ain't dead after all.
The video, which was quietly uploaded to PlayStation New Zealand's YouTube channel, shows us 51 upcoming Vita games. They're weird, they're Japanese, they're indie - but they're all games.
We could probably have lost the PlayStation Vue sales pitch in favour of this trailer, to be honest.
The video highlights 14 upcoming games, like so:
- Severed
- Persona: Dancing All Night
- Forma.8
- Gunship X
- Blazblue Chrono Phantasma EXTEND
- Pocket God vs. Desert Ashes
- Xeodrifter
- Lost Dimensions
- Superbeat: Xonic
- Mighty No. 9
- J-Stars Victory VS+
- Saturday Morning RPG
- Roundabout
- Super Time Force Ultra
And it shows off 37 more games, as logos that fly towards the screen, bombarding your eyeballs with upcoming games.
