Has Tearaway paved the way for Vita Games?

I hope so, actually.

It seems like the kind of game that shows how an unforgettable experience unique to the Vita can be made, and on a small budget at that.

It's a nice game, and the Vita's a nice handheld. I would say that I hope this is the start of a new wave of similarly inspired Vita games, but Tearaway bombed, so I don't think it will be, unfortunately.

It's not my type of game, but the demo still managed to impress me with how creative it was in using the Vita's touch capabilities, so I hope other devs follow suit.

The Vita is completely irrelevant at this point.

Yes it did pave the way for properly using the vita controls, though it would have been the perfect system selling game if it had enough content. People are just going to wait for it to hit the bargain bin, which is a shame.

No I dint think so.

@Ghost120x: it is already on sale for 17.99 on psn.

I hope for more great games.

already! :(

Nah

The only game worth owning a vita for is still Persona 4 Golden.

Tear-A-What? Oh, that game that got Torn-A new one.

Why would someone mention the DS? The 3DS would be much more relevant

It would be nice if the Vita started getting games of its own, and not stuff I could play on platforms I already own. Tearaway looks delightful, and I've always been interested in Gravity Rush. Beyond that? pass.

Hopefully. Tearaway is awesome and I'd love to see more games utilize the Vita's hardware more intuitively.

I'm interested to see how Murasaki Baby turns out.

Cows don't like kiddie games that's why nobody bought it.

@Ghost120x: It was already sold at a lower price, as to encourage people to buy a vita. Which I bought the bundle pack for christmas (comes with 16gb card and littlebigplanet vita)

Yeah, it is. The sooner everyone including Sony admits it, the sooner we can all start moving on from the disaster that was it's existence. The Vita sold 72,000 units in November. The Wii U sold 220,000.

If the Wii U is "dead" then the Vita is "and gone".

That system will never be irrelevant as long as it has Persona.

As long as gems like Tearaway keep popping up with the combination of indie games on the go, it'll continue to be as relevant as anything else on the market.

Yes.....good game.

can't wait to play FFX HD on my vita

Yes definitely amazing game, also the second best non Nintendo 3d platformer of all time

A masterpiece

Looks like the kinda game that Pikmin dude and Charizad would hail as game of the generation lol. Tried the demo, it was nice but it did not compell me to buy it

Not only has it paved the way for Vita games...but it's the new standard for all handheld titles to aspire too. 3DS better step it's game up if it wants to compete.

Never played Tearaway, so I don't know. I want a Vita, but it doesn't have a good enough library yet. I hope things change and I end up getting one, but for now 3DS XL only for me in the handheld department.

I hope so. It's a very enjoyable game.

Sony need to get behind the games more for it to happen. Look at Tearaway, fantastic game and incredibly creative and charming but Sony did nothing to boost it or advertise it.

They do need more games that use the Vita more and like Champ said, can't be played elsewhere. A lot of the games I like playing on my Vita can just be played on my PS3.

I don't think it's irrelevant, it's just not doing very well.

it's an incredible little device that's had some really shitty luck with games. The best use for it I can find is emulating older PS games but it has stuff like Tearaway and P4G. It needs to get a big push from Sony.

The whole remote play thing if improved and captialised on too might help it. It's certainly no 3DS though

I just started playing, but based on what I know, I hope not actually. It seems kind of superficial the way the touch screen is used. I think LBP does a better job at showing what the Vita can do. Especially because it also had an awesome multiplayer component.

After the runaway success of Tearaway, and the insane sales boost it gave the Vita, I'm sure we'll begin seeing tons more games come out for the system.

Probably not in North America. Asides from Indie developers, the only thing Vita has and needs more of is Publishers. There are still many games that don't make it over for it, and I don't see Tearaway as a system seller for those in the west.

Lol no. No one bought Tearaway sadly. Sony left it out to die. Probably never gonna see a sequel.

Pretty much, Its a shame Sony has no clue what to do with that thing. I would LOVE to see what nintendo could do with a piece of hardware like that.

I haven't played Tearaway yet but I'm not a big fan of the touch controls. System itself is fine for me. It's sales suck but it's getting more and more 3rd Party support in japan with new announcements on a week to bi weekly basis. Since I follow Japan's release schedule of games and am starting to play most of my games in Japanese I'm good for 2014 already. Vita despite selling less then the Wii U currently has more 3rd Party support then it does and probably will ever have in Japan.

I dunno. I still need to try it.
