Apparently we're on twitter too
Some more vita announcements from Sony yesterday during a Gamescom conference rich in promises!
As I mentioned earlier today, Sony is trying to satisfy our thirst for FPS, with the announcement of Call of Duty for the Vita, as well as the very promising Killzone: Mercenary. This one is to be expected for 2013 (yeah, that’s way too far in the future 
)
From their press release:
Today we’re really excited to present the first official gameplay trailer for Killzone: Mercenary at Gamescom. Designed specifically for the PlayStation Vita platform, Killzone: Mercenary is a first-person shooter that makes full use of the device’s graphical and input capabilities. It was built on the same powerful engine as Killzone 3, and it enhances the familiar twin-stick FPS control scheme with touch pad functionality for interesting new gameplay possibilities.
With Killzone: Mercenary, we want to offer PlayStation Vita owners a fresh perspective on the brutal conflict between ISA and Helghast – literally. For the first time in a Killzone campaign, you’ll be fighting alongside Helghast forces as well as ISA specialists, carrying out missions that the regular soldiers just won’t — or can’t.
The trailer itself looks pretty good:
So, which side are you guys going to choose? Killzone, or Call of Duty?

Killzone > Call of Duty
-
Was thinking the graphics were gonna be shit until I got to the end of that.
-
Well it all depends if the COD game has zombies or not (For the Vita).
-
Both…
-
STOP with the touch screen controls on shooters….silly and not competitive
-
I’m getting an eery feeling that this will be another mission-based FPS like Unit 13…
-
Well killzone certainly takes the cake for best visuals of the two
-
Hope there will be multiplayer as well
-
is it just me or the guy sounds like the singer from Killswitch Engage?
-
Seeing as how CoD Vita is being developed by the team that made the lackluster Burning Skies, I’m holding out more hope for Killzone.
-
yeah, im definitely more excited for killzone. i dont even like cod, and the vita version imo just looks bad.
-
I love FPS, I’ll be getting both but this one is bar far the better choice if you ask me. COD = played out
-
From what I can tell from both trailers, I say:
Graphics:
Killzone > COD
(by far)World/Story/Theme
Killzone > CODKillzone created by Guerilla bytes, while COD handed over to Nihilistic:
Killzone > COD
The fact the Nihilistic ignores sixachsis-aiming, while Guerilla always tries out all PS-Control-Features:
Killzone > COD
Overall, I’d say Killzone might be a real AAA 90+% title, while COD might turn out as bad as Resistance Burning Sky…
-
Gonna get both most likely for the cod series I still love black ops
