Bah-dum-bah-dee-bah. I'm lovin' it™. So many delusional people going "but just lower the price and memory card prices!" when everyone else is going "yeah, because that totally would help the system."

Just put one of these guys in charge and they'd turn it around. Just a little marketing here and there and the Vita's 5000 units sold a month will jump to 8 whole thousand!
Yeah people would go crazy for them if they just knew about Tales of Hearts and Persona 4.

Put a Ratchet and Clank port and a whole new gen will fall in love with the Vita.

It's a bulletproof plan!

The Vita selling poorly has nothing to do with it's library by the way.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
The System Library is part of the issue
[close]

The hardware price, the memory card prices, and everything else it does being able to be done on cell phones is the other. But the system library not being compelling enough to get people to go past the other points is a major problem.

Is it even selling 5,000 anymore? Didn't they take it off all the store shelves now since Borderlands launch?

Anyway since we were talking about gender roles in here, I'll dump this Time article in here instead of the outside link thread:  https://time.com/3595106/mattel-apologizes-for-making-barbie-look-incompetent-in-barbie-i-can-be-a-computer-engineer/ <---Would you totally be okay with this, PD? I mean they basically made Barbie/females look stupid in computers.

Edit: Not WARS, ROLES. D'oh.

Seems unrealistic. Where are the smiley faces?

 :lol

Look at Barbie for direction on gender equality brehs.

The point is: A writer for Mattel thought it was completely okay to have the boys solve Barbies computer problems/female computer problems. When Barbie/girls are in a computer science class whereby they should be able to do this at that point. If nothing else, ask her female teacher, yeah?

It may not have made the Vita a complete success, but I feel like Sony's real last chance at turning things around around for the Vita was when the Minecraft port came out. That shit should have been bundled, mass advertised and shoved in everyone's faces as having a portable version of Minecraft's full version and not the pocket edition, kids would eat that shit up more than anything.

Of course that would be an Sony of America venture, who don't give a shit about the system.  :-\ Sony Japan prob would have done something about it.

Why would they bundle Minecraft with the system for $200-250... when they (and you) know people would just use Minecraft pocket edition on a mobile? The only benefit Minecraft has on Sony's handheld is being like the 360/PS3 version and being cross-buy on DLC for the PS3/PS4 verisons. But that's about it. I seriously doubt kids and the parents footing the bill would pay for a system for one title that they could already get on a phone despite a few limitations in that version.

"Well you know if they would just market the system and market the games then clearly the market would find the Vita."


Market/marketing has to be up there on missused words on gaf.

This guy on GAF is going on and on about "if they only marketed" these things like "oh just make commercials and people will buy"

Look at what's popular with kids right now; movies like Frozen, cartoony, fluffy stuff. There's nothing to lose with localizing those cutesy, big-eyed Japanese games with English VO and giving them their proper marketing. Nothing to lose at all, especially considering where they're at right now.

Yeah nothing just money.

Since the kids love Frozen they'll love Persona!

It's not so much "gender roles" (just we were discussing those) but more "this is completely clueless and partly gender-roles."

It was tone-deaf of the writer to even say "I am... a computer scientist" and then make the story about how Barbie completely fucks everything over to where her male fellow students have to fix her screw-up for her. Why couldn't she solve that herself? Throw the gender-role aside for a moment. It's a poor story written anyway because of that. It certainly won't help women feel confident to deal with computers if a book is going to go "you'll just screw everything up to where us men have to fix it for you." You get where I'm going, yes?

I mean why even mention Barbie is a computer scientist if 1) she isn't doing the coding herself and 2) she's getting others to do the work for her when she's (supposedly) in a comp-sci class.

It doesn't help women.

As someone who used to work on PSP games for a living I am not at all surprised that there's no software for it. Everyone (like my old employer) who got in on the PSP train got burned so hard that if they didn't die out they went into mobile or social development. At this point any studio that could afford to make a title on a PSP game budget either doesn't have the resources to make the kinds of games that would sell the Vita or wouldn't bother because they could make way more money shitting out mobile games.

2008-2010 was a horrible period for small/midsized studios (I'm talking 40-100 people) and if you have more than about 4 employees as a games studio this day then you better be working on like 3 mobile games at once or have some really generous investors.

Yeah, I'm going to drop it. But I just wanted to point at (yes it's stupid) an example of what PD is "supporting" in a way. It's like the "bad women drivers lol" stereotype. People assume that the opposite gender simply can't do things the other does and it's all sorts of stupid. People can do what they put their minds to, reproductive organs completely off the table.

I wouldn't know on the developer side. But I wouldn't be surprised since the US/West PSP market was ate by piracy. Known fact there. But wasn't '08-'10 also unkind to mid/small developers that attempted to put games on like XBLA?

No I agree with you Username. I just find it weird how people have a problem with parents not liking that a book they bought to help show their daughters to help their interest in computers or coding says they need a boy in order to code. The critique especially comes hollow from PD, a black person who should know what it feels like to grow up with few positive role models or examples on reaching your full potential, especially within children's media. And to scoff it off as just "lol using Barbie to teach your daughter how to think lol" is pretty stupid.

Honestly, I don't get the hoopla over the "oh she needed two boys to do the coding,"--Well, okay, I do-- outside of poor writing (which is downgraded for grade-school/early childhood already) which doesn't explain that hey, maybe she's part of a team and assigned the UI/graphics role for the lesson.  What honestly offends me about the book is that it's about "computer science/engineering" but Barbie doesn't really do any of that in the story. Her teacher doesn't even explain much. She screws up two computers and that's about it. That isn't exactly exploring the Computer Science/Engineering job that I feel the book could've explored (or even educated girls) on. In fact, I feel I probably wouldn't be finding this whole thing hilarious if Barbie actually did the fixing herself but I'd still find the title a bit... off the mark for what the story is actually doing. The whole "game" was just a side plot. But it's a badly written story anyway.

Yeah XBLA was basically a pit of despair. I remember asking my boss why we couldn't do XBLA/PSN games instead of PSP games and he told me that we'd have to get 4 of them at a time to keep the studio afloat. The budgets on them were even lower than PSP games apparently. I remember places like Twisted Pixel that attempted it, and I contracted on that Lara Croft downloadable piece of shit (which they had probably 30-40 people on and expected 1 million+ in sales). It wasn't until sub 10 man Indie teams that gave up on XBLIG and got on to XBLA that anyone really started making money on XBLA/PSN, which again is why that makes up the bulk of the games on those services these days.

After the initial wild west gold rush of the app store proved that people were actually willing to spend money on mobile phone games so many floundering studios switched gears. I mean my employer was trying to get acquired by a prominent Facebook game studio to start up their phone game division. It didn't happen because EA let go a bunch of people from that division, but that was the way the industry was going.

Also, at least back then, no publishers wanted to fund Wii stuff because they felt like no matter what genre you made a game in, Nintendo fans would only buy the 1st party game in that genre and ignore your game.

That's pretty much a "no, duh" thing to anyone that isn't Andy.  :lol In all honesty (though I doubt you can tell us due to NDA/etc) I'm curious the development costs between the Vita and PSP. Obviously the Vita would "skyrocket" in terms of devkits due to new power/etc. but I'm honestly curious the jump between the two.

Considering I made it clear I wasn't opposed to gender stuff relating to professions I really don't know why you keep bringing my name up. As I said, being a construction worker is not a gender specific job, and getting more girls into building things isn't a bad thing. My puzzlement came at boys dressing up as princesses, which is an entirely different issue considering a princess is a gender specific term. Why these two issues are being conflated, I have no idea.

Anyway, Bill Cosby is a rapist.

Except it's still royalty? Correct him on the word if you're that bothered by it. But frankly, who gives a shit if your son wants to be a princess? Besides you, I mean.

Anyway, dropping it now. But wanted to show the reason why people fight for gender-neutral.

No I agree with you Username.

The critique especially comes hollow from PD, a black person who should know what it feels like to grow up with few positive role models or examples on reaching your full potential, especially within children's media.

I thought that was the purpose of this thread, to contain the spread of GAF shit-slinging? Make a separate thread in General Discussion for actual discussion/debate/conversation.

This.

It's pretty silly to go back and forth about the gender roles of children you don't even have yet in this topic of all places.

This isn't a thread for 'discourse'. It's for cowardly poo flinging at people who can't respond.
Pretty much.

I just noticed a thread over there that has Rap God in reference to Emininem. If I was black I'd be insulted.

No I agree with you Username. I just find it weird how people have a problem with parents not liking that a book they bought to help show their daughters to help their interest in computers or coding says they need a boy in order to code. The critique especially comes hollow from PD, a black person who should know what it feels like to grow up with few positive role models or examples on reaching your full potential, especially within children's media. And to scoff it off as just "lol using Barbie to teach your daughter how to think lol" is pretty stupid.

I don't get what you are expecting. It seems like 90% of the active participants in this thread can't make a point beyond "emoticon/overly large smiley face breh lol"

Even r/neofag has a higher level of discourse.

Think Em had a song with that title on his last album. He might've been able to legitimately make such a claim if he'd maintained the quality level of the SS and MM LPs, but he hasn't.
