If PSVITA had modern warfare 3 cross platform, would it win the handheld War?

hi, first post so hopefully it's not too lame or noobish for you guys :oops:

My question is, they have said that the ps Vita can be used as a ps3 controller which is nice. Also that with dual analog sticks, FPS are going to be VERY interesting.

Now, the question is, If Sony were to invest in convincing Activision in making a Modern Warfare 3 for PSVita that will perform exactly like the PS3 version(except lower resolution since it's a smaller screen), but that you'd be able to play online against ps3 users, do you think that this type of giganticstunt could convince a lot of people to get that over a 3ds etc.

Would that convince you to get one?And do you think it will bring some people who didn't think of getting one, into getting one?

Would it win? No.

Would it help the Vita a little bit? Maybe.

:P

Not really. The 3DS has Pokemon, and honestly, nothing sells like Pokemon. Also, most CoD players really wouldn't want to game on a handheld anyway.charizard1605

really depends though, cross platform play might actually sway things a little but i doubt it would happen.At the same time it gives them a selling point for MW3 on PS vita.

yeah but pokemon isn't really bringing any more new players to the market, it has it's big niche. While Trust me, being able to play Modern Warfare 3 anywhere with your friends is something that might bring a new audience.

i've never had a handheld since Gameboy and this would get me to get one for sure.

While it might not win the war, it might sway other developpers into putting morecross platform high end games like that.. kind of making the PSVITA and PS3 a must combination.

imagine NHL 12, FIFA games being able to crossplay too

No, no way.

People would continue to care only about COD on consoles, and secondly the 3ds has pokemon.

POKEMANZ.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] Yes, it would certainly help. Whereas I can say with certainty not ALL CoD players would want to play the game on a handheld, quite a few of them might want to, and to them, it will be an appealing feature. So, Call of Duty on the Vita might help it, but it won't win it the handheld war like TC asked.charizard1605

True, however, if (and i am speculating) the way the PSVita is built in terms of programming and if it is an easy process to PORT a ps3 game into a PSVita without having to reprogram the whole game, it might be huge. The reason some will think that people won't play Call of Duty on a handheld is for the simple reason that all the handheld FPS have sucked over the years.

With Dual Stick analog and the power of the PSVita, it might change. who knows... obviously it's speculation

I have ZERO interest in playing FPSs on a handheld. It will go over great with bro gamers who never showed interest in handhelds before though.

Win the handheld war? Certainly not, but it could give the Vita a nice boost in sales. I for one am very insterested in a Call of Duty on the go, but I can hardly speak for the masses :)

I wouldn't go as far as winning the handheld war.

But a CoD game on PS Vita can surely guarantee a surge in Vita sales, that's for sure. Especially now with dual analog controls plus the implementation of Touch controls as well.

CoD games are massive sellers. There's no denying there.

obviously i wasn't comparing it to the DS/DSi, talking more about the 3DS, but i'll be honest, i haven't followed the sales in details. But I heard it's not selling as good as their predecessors.

That would be quite cool if you ask me.

It would be neat, but "hardcore" gamers don't want to go out and buy a handheld for it. They're gonna stick to their consoles

I don't think many people would be interested in playing MW3 on a handheld over the console versions. I just can't see what would be added other than solely the portability.

I don't know.. I don't think we can assume until we actually TRY a really good FPS on a handheld. I mean if it feels exactly like a console, but you can be anywhere, you can be at a friend's house and they playing cod, you can pop it on and play with them. or Games like Fifa 12, NHL, Madden etc.

no it wont console and hand helds are not the same market

I don't know if it would win it, but it would definitely make me go outside and buy one.

1. Alienate the core fanbase

2. Waste 300+ for hardware and software

3. Tiny screen

4. Unconfortable ergonomic desgin for fps

For what? a little gaming mobility until the battery runs off?

If it didn't work for PSP and the DS, it won't work for PSV and the 3DS; upgraded graphics or not.

You're stuck at home playing a handheld when worrying about other things (sunglare, wifi hotspots and battery life) so you might as well use the console counterpart.

wtf... might as well say that there's no point in getting ANY HANDHELD for ANYTHING. I could say the same crap for ANY GAME.. TINY SCREEN FOR MARIO.

Some of you are making no sense. you're dissing it for being a handheld. it's not a valid point. If you don't like handhelds, you shouldn't even be caring about this discussion. It didn't work for the PSP because if you don't have dual analog sticks, FPS JUST PLAIN SUCKS.

So what if i say cross platform Fifa Games or Hockey GAmes or Uncharted or any game.. you're just basically saying that it doesn't matter, a handheld sucks. So why are you even discussing in a handheld thread when you just think it sucks alltogether.

I have no interest in CoD. It being on the Vita isn't going to change that.

if the vita got mW3 so would the 3ds they wouldnt strictly have it for one handheld

Never said handheld gaming sucks. All i'm saying is some genres like fps dosen't fit with the "on the go" handhelds. A common thing consumers ask themselfs is why buy a portable port when i can play it on a big screen? I just can't see it selling well or winning the handheld war. For PSV to sell well and win, It needs unique games like Patapon. That's why 3DS is failing becuase of ports and remakes.

I believe it was confirmed that cross platformed play was too much for the Vita with games like CoD. It would be amazing though and I think it would be a bigger selling point than some might suspect. Hell its the kind of thing that would boost both Vita and PS3 sales.

The 3DS isn't getting MW3. This is confirmed.

As if it will be comparable.

I used Modern Warfare 3 as an example. It could be many other Major games like UFC, Fifa, NHL, Madden, Coop Games etc. crossplatforming. I used COD cause it's a big seller.

and someone who said there is no R3 and all that, you have two touch panels that can easy be used, heck it could possibly give a slight advantage to the handheld.

Love how everyone bagged psp for the lack of the 2nd analogue stick so it couldn't play fps and now that it does apparently fps don't work on handhelds... ah well

joel_c17

exactly, especially when they didn't even try it.

Would be awesome for the Vita but I bet the COD fans would prefer getting the full experience on the 360/PS3/PC.Kenny789

I'm pretty sure they'll probably get both lol

well ...first we must try the dual analog and see how good it feels to play the game...

but cod players like to put their gameplays online....if vita doesnt have a video out port ..it will be fail..

also... will it be watered down in features? that might affect sales too.

If i buy a VITA is for a original Handheld games not for a consoles games. We need original ideas, not ports from consoles. look what happen with the psp. If you have a 42 inch tv. What is the point?
