So will HDMI out be an option? One time it is, one time it isn't.
HDMI out is make or break for me. The ability to play it wherever I want is nice but so is playing it on my TV.
my concern is that developers are going to do the same thing they did on the DS and shoehorn touch screen controls and other stuff in to show just how feature-rich their shit is. looks like sony is going optional with that, hope third parties have the good sense to as well. poor ol' forever tainted Dawn of Sorrow. :/

I actually think PoR is the weakest of the DS Castlevanias, but it's still fucking awesome of course.

Then I guess I'll have to wait until the Vita 2000 model that has it :maf
They also could have had an "install to memstick" option which was keyed to the PSP, the same way the 360 handles "install to HDD".

The PSP already does this for a lot of games. It was my savior for the PSP-1000 for playing games for long periods of time.
Count me in the group waiting for the PSV-2000 that has HDMI out and bluetooth to a PS3/PS4 controller (or the best scenario, a PSV-N1000 :omg)

I tried to get into WipeOut HD many times (on HD set) and just couldn't stand how SLOOOOOOOOOOW it is. F-Zero GX, even on SD TV, is at least 2 times faster.
Dunno, maybe the beginner vehicles in WHD are just slow as fuck?
Honestly, F-Zero > Wipeout. There aren't any bullshit kart racer-esque powerups that can screw you over in F-Zero, it's just pure racing skill. Of course you can turn that shit off in custom Wipeout games, but they're always there in the campaign.
GX is SEGA magic
Nagoshi is too orange to make another F-Zero so if F-Zero did come back it would be Nintendo's special ed team and they're too busy making Mario Karts until they die
DJ Max Technika coming to Vita.

Report – Specific Vita games to require memory card for saving
According to a Japanese report, some Vita games will require a memory card for saving in-game, regardless of if they’re bought at digital or at retail. Via a tweet from 8-4′s Mark McDonald, some of the games that will require the feature include Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Ridge Racer and Hot Shots Golf. There’s more through here: if you can read Japanese.
Required PeripheralsCan't they just disable auto-save,profile,etc?
Famitsu says that a Memory Card is pretty much a requirement, as some games will require the card. Games that require a card can't even be booted up if you don't have one.
External Video Out
The system does not have external video out.
PS3 Connectivity
Memory Card data management and Trophy sharing. You can also view video and music via Remote Play. PS3's Torne DVR device can also be used once you've updated its firmware.
PSP Software Compatibility
You can up the visual quality through bilinear filtering. This can be toggled on and off.
Use of PSP and PS3 Peripherals
The system cannot use PSP and PS3 peripherals
Internal Software
At shipment time, you can use the following built in apps or functions: Welcome Park (introduces you to the controls), Party (a chatting app that can be used in games), Photo & Camera, Music, Video, Near (a social app for interacting with other Vita systems in your area), Browser, Group Messaging, Friend, Trophy, PS Store, Remote Play, Content Management and Settings.
Parental Controls
For 3G, content will be filtered by default. If you want this feature turned off, you have to fill out some paperwork at the NTT DoCoMo shop.
GPS Without a 3G Contract
You can still use GPS, but 3G can acquire positional information faster.
Current 3G Usage
You can check your current 3G usage through an app called "Network Operator."
Wi-Fi VS 3G
The system will first attempt to connect via Wi-Fi. If no Wi-Fi connection is found it will connect through 3G. While connected through 3G, even if the system finds a Wi-Fi hotspot, it will not automatically switch.
Here's one point that may come as a surprise: games that save internally do not give you the option to save to a separate Memory Card. In other words, the save system is either-or -- the game can either save internally to its own card or it can save to a separate Memory Card. The player cannot select between the two.
Games that require a Memory Card to save may do so for various reasons. For example, they may install data on the card for Live Area or for future content expansion. When a game says that it requires a Memory Card to save, you actually need to have a Memory Card inserted from the start in order to play the game.
It's up to the game developer to decide which form of saving to use.
I always wanted a 3DS anyway.:teehee

Namco Bandai held a Japanese media briefing for its PlayStation Vita launch titles yesterday. Impress Watch and Famitsu.com delivered impressions and screens for Ridge Racer.
As we previously detailed, Ridge Racer (which appears to be the game's final Japanese name) carries a lower price compared to most Vita launch titles. The game's package version is priced ¥3,980. The download version is regularly priced ¥3,580, but through March 31 you can pick it up for the special price of ¥2,980. Regardless of the version, the game requires a Memory Card.
One of the tradeoffs for the low price appears to be content. The sites report that the demo build had just five cars and three courses, and this will be true for the final version as well.
The course list includes Harborline 765, Highland Cliffs and Southbay Docks, all form past entries in the series. They can be played in normal and reverse.
Namco Bandai will, of course, be offering download content to add to the game. Details on DLC will be shared in December. The game's main menu has an option for directly accessing PlayStation Store.
The official Namco Bandai reason for the low price is that it hopes to get as many players as possible in order to make the Planetary League mode more active. In the Planetary League, players throughout the world split into circle, x, triangle and square teams. Every 24 hours, the game sends out new team battle missions. At the end of the month, the game's servers will determine the rank of each of the four teams based off points earned during the missions.
These team battles can be played as real time races via Wi-Fi and Ad-Hoc. Or, you can play against rival ghost data. The game supports Vita's Near functionality for transferring ghost data.
For those hoping to use Ridge Racer to show off your pricey new portable, Famitsu.com reports that the game has detailed visuals and fresh colors thanks to the OLED screen, with the night courses looking particularly pretty. Due to the focus on detail, the game runs at 30 frames per second rather than the 60 some Ridge Racer fans may have hoped for.

However, this will be only at the PlayStation Portable 480x272 resolution, which will be upscaled to fill the screen.
For future games, developers will be able to include Vita specific 480p modes, Eurogamer understands.

i'll buy one, but i'm stupid. can't be worse than a 3ds, and i bought *two* of those at launch.Go all the way and treat yourself to a HTC Titan and/or Samsung Focus S.
I'm going to pass for now. I need something super unique on it, ports of console games were cool when PSP came out but now I'm older and wiser :derp

On Custom Memory Cards
Explained Shimada, The reason Sony didn't use general memory cards like SD Cards and instead opted for a custom memory card is because they wanted to make sure they could have something with an equal condition for everyone. Additionally, they were concerned with security.
Shimada also drew distinction about describing the cards as merely a device for saving games. They're "storage" for the Vita, and are used for patches, game data, download content and more.

regardless, this thing is gonna get busted wide open.
regular PSP is awesome. hacked PSP is fucking awesome. I hope Sony makes us an easily exploitable PS2 emulator this time!
Sony has hinted in the past that downloading games on the Vita will be a cheaper option than buying them off the shelves. The scuttlebutt from a recent Sony event is that the savings could be a dramatic 40 percent for ditching the box.
According to Thrifty Nerd, Vita games will be capped off at $39.99 at retail. Downloading a game at the same price would only cost around $23, however, saving you a pretty penny by going digital. Many gamers gasped at the Vita's spendy memory cards (4GB: $30, 8GB: $45, 16GB: $70, 32GB: $120), but these savings, if true, could soften that blow.
While this prospect is exciting for prospective Vita owners, keep your expectations low until we have official confirmation from Sony.
With the PSP, were you able to have game content from different accounts at the same time after the grueling account switching process, or were you forced to use one region's content at a time?one region at a time
it's dumb
Real Talk though: Out of the 121 PSP games I own, I have maybe a dozen US games and all the rest are JP. I imagine the first 6 months I'll be annoyed switching back and forth while the Vita gets launch window US support, then when it dies in the US and everything dries up in a year it'll be like the PSP where it's entirely a JP machine for import JP games. I haven't played a US PSP game in like 3 years.
That Game Informer rumor is too good to be true.
How big are the memory card units going to be? I'd settle for 32 gigs.

This actually wouldn't have been a big deal, but to switch accounts you also have to be connected via wi-fi. There were way too many times that I'd have my PSP in places without wireless access, so that wasn't gonna work...and hackers saved the day.Real Talk though: Out of the 121 PSP games I own, I have maybe a dozen US games and all the rest are JP.

Same here. I'm still planning on using my U.S. account with the Vita, but I may just change over to my J-account and use that instead. People are freaking out about this, but the only DLC that seems to be coming is rip-off Ridge Racer anyway.
All of this is enough to be an issue to stop me getting one at launch. I'll let everyone else test it first.
Vita is region-free. Confirmed by NCS. :)
I know, I know...I'm fucking insane.

i know this is shocking but more bad/inconvenient news has come out about the vita
you can only have one psn account per vita. if you want to change psn accounts, you have to reset the machine to factory defaults.

Jesus fuck this is why i hate people - on my twitter feed, the most people offended by this are.... 3DS/Nintendo fans.
Fuck me, do they know how the 3DS handles this? (hint: sand in furgena? Let me add cement and mix with my "lol, u r fugged" stick !)
These are usually reasonable people, is it lose-your-mind season?
I hit the roof pretty damn hard about the 3DS's region-lock. Just like that, I'll learn to live with this, but I reserve the right to bitch about shitty things when I find out about them.
I'm not sure your idea of holding the industry to Nintendo's standards is something I can get behind, though.
“For Akai Katana Shin on Vita, one of our goals is to reduce the number of buttons as much as possible. That’s one of the reasons we’re really focused on this twin stick aspect of the machine.”

Wii+games - very little unless you have Rei or The Calling
Saturn - very little unless you have the shmups or Psychic Assassin Taromaru
I did quite well out of SNES. Seems the cash is now in FC and imported NES games - which , thank christ, i have a fuck ton of.
doesn't this thing launch in japan at the end of this week? i totaly didn't realize it until i saw an ads for the disgaea 3 port-a-lot
would you guys believe me if i told you i have currently almost zero interess in vita,yet would gladly jump on the 3ds wagon?
well the only vita title announced so far which i'm interessed in would be little king story sequel (and maybe maybe maybe gravity daze and army corps of hell but only because square-enix dick is pretty deep in my ass) but the 3ds is getting kingdom hearts,that new game from keiji inafune,guild 01,that bravely default game...
like it feels like all the medium budget weirdo games and popular ip are going to land on 3ds

I asked Mr. Yoshida about the one-account thing and then clarified that I do indeed have multiple accounts. Sequence of tweets after the initial ones:

Where are my SHINOBIDO 2 impressions? The first one was tenchu on speed.
hyp :o you're back :o
ridge racer was awesome on the PS1 and then fell off and then picked up again with the PSP and then fell off again. People (or at least just me) were hoping the Vita version would be the 'pick up' phase. consensus is that it's worse than the 3DS version (?)
RR 3D at least added to the game play with different types of nitrous systems added
They actually were in 7, but good job on defending Nintendo ;P
(j/k about the Nintendo part).
I'm not defending the Vita version, because for now, the framerate is appalling, and it's still the same fucking gameplay, basically.
BUT, I do have to say, I'm glad they ditched the ridiculous GP setup they've had for the last FIVE games, where essentially you cruise through 10-15 hours of the game without any skills and then hit a wall where you have to start learning the tracks just to place in the top 3, THEN you get the cheap shitty bastards that are nigh on impossible to beat. At least the main core of this game is you versus other human ghosts. I just think the pricing is a little off :lol
Also, they should have actually started with new tracks to show they had the right intentions. Three recycled tracks is a fucking stupid way to launch a game, regardless of their intentions with the gameplay.
Vita - Uncharted
3DS - Monster Hunter 3G
I think this is with sound max, headphones, no wifi and highest level of brightness and 3D.
3DS - 2:35
Vita - 3:47
- MinGol is awesome. Great online now, and they are adding async multiplayer next year.
that test isn't rigt
if you run the 3ds at 40% brightness with the 3D off, wifi off and low/no sound it's actually got much BETTER battery life than the PSV running at 80% battery, with 3G on, and 50% volume. I believe the 3DS wins by a massive 3 minutes or so.
I had a full and fun day with the PSV yesterday - played on and off and it eventually gave it up around 10:40 or so. The two 3DS's that entered my bag fully charged and didn't play a single fucking game all day were flashing red battery warnings at that exact time. The 3DS battery life is a -fucking disgrace- and i'm being kind with that appraisal. No, Nintendopplers, "Buy a Nyko" is not a get out card.
Any battery conversations are off the table for Nintendo fans - i can tell you that right now. It's a dead avenue for debate.
Media Create will release its full set of weekly sales stats early tomorrow (actually around midnight tonight), but the firm has given advanced stats to the press.
Vita sold 325,000 units in its first week (covering the 17th and 18th), according to Media Create stats (as reported at IT Media). This is similar to the 321,000 unit figure that Enterbrain reported earlier in the week.
Media Create estimates that the system's sell-through rate is 65%. This is based off an estimate of 500,000 units shipped, which matches a figure shared in a column that was posted to Nikkei earlier today (it's possible that the Nikkei column was based off Media Create's shipment estimates).
Media Create CEO Atsushi Hosokawa provided some commentary on the initial performance. "The shipment was abundant, so it seems that there were hardly any reports of inability to buy due to shortages. Regarding sold units, to be honest we would like to have seen it sell a bit more, but you can say that it reached a certain level of success."
Hosokawa blamed the relatively slow start on price, noting that when you include a game and required accessories, the system ends up costing 40,000 yen. He also noted that the system did not have a system seller at launch.
One other factor could be holding back the Vita: its predecessor, the PSP. Sony sold 60,000 units of the aging hardware this past week, Hosokawa said.
Cormac must be on some sedatives as Vita is recepted quite well even by dem haters.

I was just referring to how dead this thread was, after my call for impressions. I've also seen nothing positive on twitter from J Bore...jonny's post above was the first really positive thing i'd seen. Now I have one myself of course so I can make up my own mind (it's shit for another few months at least :lol)

Sweet. Cheaper launch confirmed!
hey man, them games are next gen with next gen costs, $50 is a steal
until the game sells badly and the publisher withdraws support and then everyone is all BAW IT'S THEIR FAULT FOR PRICING IT SO HIGH
Sony Computer Entertainment Japan CEO Hiroshi Kawano spoke briefly about PlayStation Vita sales during a press conference for Gung Ho Entertainment's Ragnarok Odyssey yesterday (see Famitsu.com's report here).
Kawano described the system's first week sales of 321,407 units as "a figure in accordance with expectations." However, he added, "Games and peripherals are selling extremely well. Sales of the download versions of titles are exceeding expectations."
Media Create yesterday reported that Sony and its third parties had sold around 300,000 units of software over the first two days of the system's launch. This equalled a 0.92 attach rate (0.92 games per system sold) which is lower than the launch attach rates for 3DS and PSP. However, Media Create's sales figures do not take download sales into account.
Talking more about the bombage of the launch third party games.
That fair?
Anyone think Capcom might bring SFIV (or better yet III) on this thing?
bebpo - "expected" or not, whether they would do better on another system or not, i'm not sure how you can quantify those sales as anything less than failure. they are half of the usual attach rate for launch software on a handheld, an attach rate which is already low compared to home console launches. some of them are under 10k. these are not numbers where anyone is making money. the digital sales are likely mitigating things somewhat, but even if you double the sales, which is assuredly nowhere near reality, the sales would still be on the bottom line of acceptable.
dcharlie - well, here's the problem here, isn't it? i can't say anything to counter anything anyone says about digital sales, which means we have left the realm of fact and entered the realm of religion. so unless you have some entertaining lego pictures to go with your posts from now on, i'll have to check out of sales discussion about the vita.
Picked up a few PSP things I missed on the store (Persona 3 Portable, Tactics Ogre). Prices aren't terrible. Annoying that they only have the God of War one I've already played though.
Is Peace Walker going to really irritate me? It's super cheap, and I'm thinking the extra stick may help with the controls...
dcharlie and other vita beta testers, please download, play, and post impressions of the gravity daze demo. I want to hear how disappointing it is so I can cancel my vita preorder. or how good it is so I can get a second job.
Yipes, the Vita took a nasty tumble in its second week. Fifth place, 72k units sold. This is one of the biggest sales weeks of the year in Japan.
For comparison, the 3DS's second week was 209k in February.
3DS :heart :rock
I'm starting to love the effing shit of mine.
No MH on Vita sounds like some butthurt internal politics nonsense. If Capcom liked money they would be shipping that franchise on anything with a GPU.
if you were capcom you would release that shit everywhere adding pointless upgrade each time so people buy it over and over and over
i'll be surprised if they don't announce monster hunter 4G for vita by the end of 2012
I was expecting the V to do terribly in EU and USA but still have a strong Japanese following. Yikesaroni. I don't see how they can fix this situation outside of some surprise IP. Not even sure a price cut will help.
To avoid being tooo fantardish, is there any indication that the cheaper model is supply constrained?
Is the Vita DOOMED?

It's only been out in Japan for two weeks. :lol
Give it some time. 3DS had jack shit and then all of a sudden there was Mario, Mario Kart, and Monster Hunter to spike sales. All Japan needs is one popular title. Looks like it won't be Monster Hunter this time around.
I really, really want this thing to succeed because the alternate option sucks so fucking much.
Vita's what I want to succeed, 3DS with its region locking and original PSP quality visuals can fuck off.
It took two major (mario and monster hunter only have dragon quest and pokemon in their league) ips and a pricecut to turn the 3ds around. I would argue the desirable software releases correlate with the surge after the price cut effect wore off. I think ResiEve is still pretty big in Japan so that should help maintain momentum as well. Animal Crossing and Tomodachi Connection too.
Comparitively, the Vita software outlook doesn't have any standouts that I see the market being receptive to. There's a tales port, an ffx port, sf x tekken port etc. I could see those having a marginal impact but nothing explosive. If I'm missing something on this front I would like to be corrected.
It's just genuinely surprising that the successor to the thriving psp isn't mustering much in its second week of launch during a holiday. I was expecting steady if not spectacular sales until a pricedrop throughout the next year.
3DS kind of sucks though. I mean it's an improvement over the DS, but it's still a janky system with region locking, a small main screen, not that great controls. Can't be super happy it's going to be the standard for all Japanese games for the next few years :( I prefer playing games on my PSP to 3DS tbh.

They don't care if a new system is Sony or Nintendo orMicrosoft.
it's really easy to spot the guys who only keep half an eye on sales data :teehee
and yes, these second week numbers are very, very troubling taking everything into account, but it's still just one week. i think it's far more troubling that sony really doesn't seem to have anything software-wise up its sleeve at the moment to turn things around should things continue like this. however bad the 3ds was doing, nintendo was still sitting on shit like pokemon, mario kart, and mario platformers. as well, their approach to hardware design meant doing a 40% price cut was something they could reasonably do.
now, luckily for sony, the vita is using off the shelf parts that are going to reduce in cost a hell of a lot faster than their usual proprietary shit does, so i imagine they're going to have some wiggle room on the price before terribly long. but at the end of all that, i still don't see the software that's going to turn a desperate situation (if indeed this becomes one) around. out-of-nowhere system boosters like monster hunter and Nintendo Dogs are wonderful things when they happen, but you can't count on them by any means.

... you didn't know what it was? :derp
(http://www.dcharlie.com/deadvita.jpg)
The idea that these 2 weeks now means that the Vita isn't getting anything and that because the next two years of software hasn't been shoved in peoples faces already means that there isn't anything out there is incredibly short sighted.
It's not so much this as it is that Sony doesn't have anything first party-wise on the sales level of a Mario Kart, Pokemon, Mario Bros., what have you. They don't have an ohshit button they can slam down on. Which means they need to rely on their third parties, very few of whom have *big* titles worth a spit, and even fewer of those who are interested in handhelds, or they just need to do that simple little thing where they pull a massive selling new IP out of their asses.
Of course no one can predict where the next big thing is coming from and what it will be, but that's kind of the problem with the next big thing - you can't predict it. In the meantime, Sony is lacking any old faithfuls they can turn to in the case of shit hitting the fan.
it's really easy to spot the guys who only keep half an eye on sales data :teehee
RE is successful but not huge. Kind of in the Yakuza/Metal Gear bracket.
Kirby is bigger, but not by a great deal. Kirby's popularity in Japan is weird.
During its first week on sale in Japan, PS Vita sold 320 K units. The sales period tracked was just two days, so hopeful fans thought that perhaps the first full week would bring good news.http://www.forbes.com/sites/terokuittinen/2011/12/29/sony-in-big-trouble-with-ps-vita/ (http://www.forbes.com/sites/terokuittinen/2011/12/29/sony-in-big-trouble-with-ps-vita/)
But the second week brought devastation – just 72 K units sold. [...]
Sony will likely be forced to cut the price of the PS Vita from 24’000 yen to well below 20’000 yen very soon. The upcoming US launch could be a true debacle for several reasons. Sony has decided to price Vita at $250, higher than the Amazon Kindle Fire. The hottest games like the latest Uncharted are priced at $50, while many other major titles are $40. The pricing seems delusional in light of the Japanese response to the PS Vita. The older PSP handheld console has been a bigger hit in Japan than it has been in the US market. The tablet and iPhone market penetration rates in America are higher than in Japan – consumers may well be more reluctant to splurge on expensive, proprietary handheld consoles. The launch of the Kindle Fire at $200 has changed the US consumer electronics pricing environment.
I believe Japan could well be the last stronghold of portable game consoles. Even though the 3DS stumbled badly during its early months, Nintendo revived the console with a steep price cut and nearly simultaneous launches of three major franchises near the end of the year. The 3DS should have been a surefire blockbuster in its domestic market – the summer softness in Japan may have been an early warning sign of the coming global portable market malaise. The disastrous second week of the PS Vita is the second sign. Sony clearly had some anxiety about the Vita’s launch – it built it massive early support via an extensive line of launch titles. Despite the fact that Sony’s PSP has been a big hit in Japan, the PS Vita is foundering badly out of the gate – the ancient and heavily discounted PSP outsold the brand new Vita by 40% during the Christmas week. Much is now riding on the Vita debut in the US market in February.
I argued last week that PS Vita could mark the end of the era of portable game consoles. There is no doubt that Nintendo’s 3DS is going to sell at least 20 Million units globally over the next couple of years. But the portable console market may now have entered an age of permanent, slowly accelerating decline. The true test of the industry is the United States, where consumers are embracing games designed for smartphones and tablets. The possible shrinking of the portable game consumer base would hit the runner-up Sony before Nintendo really gets mauled. The rot sets in first at the periphery.
Sony has approached the PS Vita launch in America with arrogance, pricing the console and games high while opting to debut the device during the slow retail month of February. Mobile app sales more than doubled during the Christmas of 2011 – solid triple digit volume growth. In the meanwhile, even in the Japanese heartland of video games, video game software unit sales are set to decline by double digits in 2011.
Sony’s PSP has been a big hit in Japan, the PS Vita is foundering badly out of the gate – the ancient and heavily discounted PSP outsold the brand new Vita by 40% during the Christmas week.

dont you need the card to save a game. cant find a card listing on amazon yet- may have to find it elsewhere
Initially I had that week early bundle but 4 gig stick is nothing, I can always get a cheap case, the game that comes with it look like a mini-game collection acting as a tech demo, and I'll never ever use 3G. I switched it up to the wifi only model. The only thing is I don't know if I want to get the 16 gig stick or 8 gig (since 8 gig is 30 and 16 is 60). If there is that rumored "lower prices on PSN" thing, I might just go download only with a larger stick.
On the fence about importing Gravity Daze. I know it's definitely coming to the US and so spending $80-100 importing it just to have it at launch with jp voices (seems like an anime game so would rather play with jp voice track) doesn't seem worth it when I can get it for $40 a few months later.
Also I want to buy Power Smash 4 after DC's raving about it but WTF it's not listed for US release on Amazon? Hopefully they'll add it later, I'd be really surprised if a tennis game that takes no effort to localize wouldn't come over.
Gravity Rush has been confirmed as not making the US launch. It's "launch window", so who knows when. Good to know if has gibberish language, makes it easier to just wait for US release. Only concern is the rumor that it's going to be DD only with no physical release in the west.

You're going to need a lot, then, since Vita games are tiny carts the size of half your thumb!
:bow Vita launch line up :bow2The 42k people that bought Vitas have gotta be playing something, right? Maybe the working strategy here is to have a giant ass diverse as fuck lineup so there'll be shit everybody wants vs. one big must have title for everybody driving sales. Of course the big budget big shit games will arrive at some point I'm sure. There's enough shit for it to be worth considering AT LAUNCH, when's the last time that legitimately happened? Still waiting for a price drop/TV out revision though.

It's not like 3rd Parties in Japan have anywhere else to go. For smaller, non-Layton/MH guys whose niche games sell 50-150k total (aka, 75% of Japanese developers), Nintendo systems are never a good place to be since Nintendo 1st party stuff along with the big hitters dry up the well of all possible sales.
This is one of the reason you see these devs keep putting out games on systems that aren't doing gangbusters. They don't need a big market to survive, just enough people to buy their game.

The Wii really disappointed me. I genuinely enjoyed the first year and a bit of it, because Nintendo dropped a whole ton of good games on it in a very short span of time (mostly carry-overs from Gamecube), but man it dried up badly.
That said I tend to have a bias *for* Nintendo handhelds and a bias *against* Nintendo home consoles, so maybe I'ma just fullofit.
PSP had better games. Real talk LOLllllllll
The Wii is definitely the least favorite system of mine thanks to motion control city since I am no good with these motion control things. When it has normal PS2 games like Xenoblade though or Mario Galaxy, even Wii is cool with me.
No, there were not any such controls on PSP. I think you could "chord" controls with the analog nubbie! But that wasn't compatible with my preferred control scheme. I don't call there being any specific controls for camera on DS.JBores, who's getting a Vita? I know DCharlie is...that's a given.
I bought a PSP so I could play GTA on the go. Now I can play GTA III or Chinatown Wars on my iPod.
I'm living sans-Vita.
So, in other words, you'll be buying a Vita when a GTA or a Saint's Row is released? :P Did either 3D PSP GTA have camera controls set to the face buttons? I can't remember.
Wasn't there an announced Saints Row for one of the handheld platforms?
I cancelled my Vita pre-order.
The biggest reason is that it will tank hard in the US and want to see what Sony will do to react to that. Will they have TV out?
Generous price drop (even though the thing is cheap when you consider value)?
Eliminate region locking (probably unlikely)?
I don't expect the Vita to last long either and am buying it with the intentions of getting 1-2 years of content for the thing. This assumes that there won't be a PSP type thing where xseed, NIS, and Fatlus pick up the slack because there's no guarantee that they will be willing to do that with the Vita.
As much as I hate it, I think iOS is the future of portable gaming. Even though the shitware ratio is enough to make the Atari 2600 seem good, it is the future of handheld gaming. I can't stand playing most games on my iPhone (there are a few good games for it, I'm not saying there's nothing good on the thing) and it shocks me that people who hate on waggle are creaming their pants over playing games on their phone. Nevertheless, smartphones are becoming so ubiquitous to the point where 7 and 8 year olds have an iPhone or a Droid phone with plenty of content to serve them, teenagers, hipster douchebags, and people who like Cave shooters. The economy is also as such that people are probably just going to get one handheld device and the answer is clearly the smartphone. I somewhat expect Vita to be the last Sony handheld before they pack up their shit and go home.
What i've learned - there are no games that can save the Vita, only nintendo games sell handhelds
PSP had better games. Real talk LOLllllllll
Agreed. I spent more time with my PSP than my DS. I enjoyed a few puzzle games, the Castlevanias, Contra IV, Bleach DS2, and the Ace Attorney series on the DS, and that was about it.
I think they're pretty even keel for RPGs, actually. The DS had a better selection of them in the first few years, but then it tapered off a bit and the PSP had a surge in RPGs.
you admitted to visiting gamefaqs to incite list warzzz
plus psp has the best version of ff4
How do you figure i have some kind of bias?
and wait what DQ Joker games are on your list? R U KIDDING MEZ.
whats wrong. youve never played any mid 80's dungeon crawl rpgs befor? its pretty much swords n serpents with a new front end. at least Atlus had the balls to make something that was originaly a forgotten archtype
How do you figure i have some kind of bias?
:lol
oh lawd
You have Nintendo's cock so far up your ass that it's tickling your tonsils.
well those user reviews certainly override my own experiences with the game
very convincing, sir

my shitty pet distinguished mentally-challenged fellow game is better than your shitty pet distinguished mentally-challenged fellow game
the controls were my biggest problem with the game. the game has a brutal difficulty curve and a lot of that is down to the controls being fundamentally busted. i also ran into an unacceptable number of bugs (lol western rpgs) and found the game to have too little content - a single stratum in EO provides more gameplay time and variety.
believe me, i really wanted to like it, the book was in my bag all the time when i was in junior high, but it's just not very good. i'm glad you like it, but you're not going to convince anyone of the validity of your list if you keep it on there.
prole is right - class of heroes shits on it (yeah yeah i know, real-time combat vs turn-based, but w/e), etrian odyssey definitely shits on it, hell, dark spire even shits on it.
i don't remember having to manipulate eight buttons at once while licking a touch screen when playing wizardry, but i guess things may have been different where you are from
i hate it when people use 'old school' as an excuse for a poor or lazy effort. fighting fantasy isn't 'old school', it's just poorly designed and badly implemented.
I had fun with Orcs and Elves but it's not even very good by iOS standards. It's a port of a cell phone game. Not a smartphone game, but a cell phone game. As a cell phone game in that era, it was exceptional. As a DS game in that era, it was fun but absurdly overpriced.
No online multiplayer for Mod Nation Racers Vita :'(
Hey Zyketor, we are supporting Ad-Hoc however not infrasructure as in Head to Head. With all of the other online features though, Ghost Laps, Regional Leaderboards with times beat notifcations, etc. We went with more of an Asynchronous online feature set that is really robust! We'll share more about all of these online features as we get closer to launch! "
It probably isn't worth implementing when the game will probably sell 15,000 copies at most.
This game doesn't exist, it's the result of a shitty translation or a completely clueless reporter from that website. Asada says someone asked him about the game today and he was shocked, saying that's the first he's heard of it. He says it's due to some misunderstanding. The game isn't in development, nor has it ever been planned to be in development.http://www.cave-stg.com/forum/index.php?topic=1502.msg27968#msg27968 (http://www.cave-stg.com/forum/index.php?topic=1502.msg27968#msg27968)
Moral of the story: if a rumor sounds weird, and it's from a site that doesn't know anything about Cave games, it's probably not true.
I only played a bit of the original on PS2 and messed around with the expansion. I did play a lot of the PSP version.
Maybe the demo is an old build, but I expect more from a sequel released what....5-6 years later?

Well, look at the competition (Tenchu), which has only 1 "different" game in the last 5-6 years (the Wii one). These stealth ninja games don't seem to change much.

What a difference six months makes. In June last year Sony boss Kaz Hirai proudly took to the stage at E3 to announce that the Vita would retail for $250 (or $299 for the 3G version) - a figure that was generally greeted with enthusiasm by both press and gamers alike. Meanwhile, the considerably less powerful 3DS was floundering at around the same price, just a few months after its launch.
Fast forward to January 2012 and the 3DS is flying off shelves following an unprecedented pricing rethink while the Vita has got off to a miserable start in Japan, with numerous internet commentators already starting their 'cut the price' catcalls.
So, one month ahead of the machine's global launch, we've enlisted the help of technical intelligence experts UBM TechInsights and taken a screwdriver to Sony's new portable in an attempt to divine two things - whether you're getting good value for money, and whether Sony has left itself any room for an emergency price drop should the Western launch belly-flop.
UBM's VP of business intelligence, Jeffrey Brown, tells us that the total bill of materials for the 3G-enabled version of the system comes in at an estimated $159.10 - that's around £102.90. That figure breaks down as follows:
Display and touchscreens: $50
Battery: $3.60
Cameras: $3.50
Wi-Fi/BT/GPS: $3.50
NAND: $6.00
SDRAM: $9.25
Processor: $16.00
BB+XCR: $16.25
Non-electronic: $11.00
Other: $30.00
Supporting materials: $10.00
For more on UBM's findings, head on over to its official site.
cannot speak to this, but I can say that Toys R Us purchased PS3s at launch for 599.98.
maybe he means it'll eat through a lot of batteries
For good and bad, Vita replicates the home console experience. Clunky kitchen-sink OS, huge-ass system updates, overblown games, silly load times. Combining the mandatory system updates, reboots, game updates, intro movie/load screen/Welcome to the wonderful World of Wipeout! bullshit (touch screen to continue! now touch START to continue! now touch CONTINUE to continue!), it was about 20 mins from inserting cart to starting a race in Wipeout.
In game, it is fucking incredible so I can understand why the fans forgive all the other bullshit. But it IS bullshit. This is patently not something you can pick up and play, unless you load a race, then put the system in sleep mode until you are ready to play. If I'd started that process on my (former) morning commute, I'd have reached the office by the time the race started.
lol what? the load times are long but they aren't -that- long. It's about 48 seconds per track. That's poor in terms of performance, throw in clunky interface tax (is it that bad?) and we're talking 1m 20 or so. I don't recall how bad the very first start up is as i was too busy throwing filthy man milt all inside my shorts.
(yes pilonv, this has been my experience with other Wipeouts too but what can you do, there are no fucking games for this thing yet, we're all going to be buying some crap we don't really want to...)
game carts and mem cart load times are pretty much identical - i've seen people mention that the game carts are faster but i think we're talking by microseconds or something.

According to the latest issue of UK-based gaming publication PLAY, two brand new exclusive PS3 titles are gearing up for a full-blown reveal in February. Both Syphon Filter 4 and God of War IV are said to be deep in development, and will get a full announcement next month. In the “10 Games That Will Be Announced This Year” feature, PLAY states that the long-rumored Syphon Filter 4 is currently in development at SCE London Studio, with the espionage title pegged for a Winter 2012 release.
“As far as our spies tell us, Syphon Filter 4 will be announced and released during 2012 – they’re not often wrong either. Developed by SCE London Studio (once thought to be Sony Bend), it will see a return to the world of shooting, espionage and Gabe Logan’s superb name.”

dcharlie is a screen protector as important as these gafshits say it is?
no normal person notices a game is "sub res", jesus what a spergy thing to bich about
or you know, most functioning human beings enjoy playing games and odn't give a shit about how they look.
its not like everytime i play my favorite game ever Voodoo Vince I go "look at this not being xboxs native res how shite"
Quotetill they release good Vita games
yeah, pretty much - you'll have to wait about 0:00.00 seconds given the launch line up crushes any in previous history. PSP is nice fall back though.

I don't see anything in the launch lineup I want particularly badly.
Come at me, fuckfaces.
From what I hear, Sony isn't even advertising the damn thing yet in America?
This is going to be a barbecue.

Vita games are on PSN at a 10% reduced price, compared to retail, but it was never announced. at one point the game pricing was 30-40-50, and now those $30 games are $40. last week the 3G version was upgraded to include an 8 gig stick, psn game and w/e. no US passport just confirmed.
there were rumors that PS1 games would be supported by US release. yeah, probably not.

Not buying till they release a Lite edition. It better come with that 2nd analog too.
And I'm thinking of selling my PSP GO and getting this Vita cheese. Decisions decisions.
Well, still a couple of weeks to go until launch, but it's looking like a lot of notable PSP games that are available on the digital store aren't compatible with the Vita. Stuff I and others have noticed missing: every GTA game, Ghost of Sparta, Valkyria 2, LittleBigPlanet, Tomb Raider Anniversary, Metal Gear Peace Walker, Ys I&II, and more.
gg Sony as always
look at me while i cry about games i had no intention of playing in the first place and just wanted a easy catalyst to troll a great system oh guess who am I~~~
It's a valid argument, however he has made no attempt to justify it with anything coherent.
I think the games for it are fine for a traditional hardcore handheld device. The problem is that market is contracting, at least in the US. There's nothing really wrong with that gamespot piece outside of the fact that it probably doesn't belong on gamespot. Traditional hardcore gaming outlets were slow to recognize and cover the rise of these devices.
The Vita is a nice piece of hardware entering the market at an unfortunate time.
portables are more than just driving to the next community. They are used on the toilet and in bed.

Amazon says I won't get Hotshots until the 13th, but right now the 32GB memory card I ordered is showing as being shipped for delivery tomorrow. Wonder if that will change.
Don't have many U.S. games ordered right now. Just Lumines, Hotshots, Ridge Racer, and Shinobido 2. May end up buying the U.S. BlazBlue for all the story stuff (it has the story modes for CT, CS, and CSE), not sure.
Nintendo's home consoles aren't worth a shit
If Sony goes under I hope we get a Samsung line of game systems.
i wish we could outlaw the obvious trolls from this thread this should be about how great the vita is
::)
If Sony gets out of games or whatever Japan will basically just go to Nintendo -- which they've been doing anyways since Nintendo is in full moneyhat mode.
I disagree. We've seen some publishers get bought over to Nintendo's *handhelds* - that's a different proposition from getting them on-board with a Nintendo home console. Third parties are pretty strongly convinced at this point that there is very little money to be found in being on Nintendo's home platforms. Whether that's true or not is irrelevant because the perception is what dictates the outcome here.
Case in point - earlier this gen when the PS3 and 360 were doing shitty numbers in Japan, did the Japanese games companies go to the Wii? No, they didn't. They moved Japan-focused things to the handhelds and hedged their bets on international sales of everything else. So if Sony happened to bail out on the video games market, I very much expect the benefactors would be Nintendo's handheld and Microsoft's home console. If Nintendo's home console at that time is up to snuff for receiving multiplat versions, it would likely receive a good chunk of them, but certainly not all and most everything would be leading on MS's console.
These companies don't like to work with Nintendo. I hope you've picked up on that by now. Nintendo is a royal pain in the ass to deal with professionally no matter what kind of work you have to do with them, and it's rarely worth it because of the purchase patterns of the typical Nintendo console buyer. It's hard to get a fair picture from the Wii because of how things went down, but look at the Gamecube. It got almost all of the same multiplat games the Xbox and PS2 did, initially, and the quality of the ports were generally quite good. And yet, those games sold significantly worse on the Gamecube than they did on the Xbox, even when their install bases were similar. Why? It's a mystery, and third parties are generally disinclined to spend the money and energy solving it when they have simpler alternatives.
microsoft, since people actually buy games on their console in the international market
and come on, capcom and square give wierdo spinoffs to wii and save the big-budget stuff for ps3 & 360.

I'm just getting the wi-fi system, 16 gig stick, and Shinobido 2.
I was about to go for the 3G system and ace the 16 gig, but Amazon decided not to have release date delivery. That's enough of a reason to avoid spending extra on features I'll never use because I have a phone.
honestly if it wasn't for Shinobido 2 and Gravity Daze I'd probably pass on the Vita at launch, but those are two games I really want. In general, I mean. Not just reasons to play with a new toy. And there aren't that many games I'm really excited about (in general, again).

Sony: counterproductive ads since 2000
holy shit, the vita is BONER ACADEMY, best hardware ever
however, why the fuck can't japan design os user interfaces
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRhlNnrXyFAdamn
:teehee
is it using android for the os? that explains everything.
John Koller, the senior director for PlayStation hand-held consoles, said the PS Vita would allow users “to feel engaged and still feel like they’re playing on a console.” The target audience for the Vita are men in their 20s who play video games eight hours a week or more and own a PlayStation3 console.http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/13/business/media/playstation-vita-offers-a-perpetual-game-inside-or-out.html?_r=1 (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/13/business/media/playstation-vita-offers-a-perpetual-game-inside-or-out.html?_r=1)
The trick will be getting those young men to put down their phones and pick up the PS Vita.
The cost of the marketing campaign at $50 million is “the largest platform launch in terms of marketing investment we’ve ever had,” Mr. Koller said.
Sony worked with Deutsch, part of the Interpublic Group of Companies, to create the campaign that includes television commercials, billboards, retail partnerships, digital banner ads and a significant presence in social media. The theme of the campaign, “Never Stop Playing,” will be featured on many of the ads as will the Twitter-influenced hashtag, #gamechanger.
the launch situation is a fuck because there're two dozen quality games launch window, so Sony felt the need to artificially space games out delaying Gravity Daze to Spring (rumors are May). Unit 13 is also delayed a bit.
and I've decided to just go with the 3G on Amazon. I read that GPS still works without a plan and I don't know if it's true but it can come in handy if I don't have my phone with me and other poor justifications for spending more money on a toy.
the target are men in their 20s who play 8+ hours of games a week and own ps3s?
hunh. i, uh, don't know if there's gold in them thar hills.

I honestly think the launch titles should have been more spread out from the start. With launch big hitters they could have had a major Vita game every 2-3 weeks for like the next 6 months. Now it's a billion titles fighting for launch sales and then it'll be nothing for a while outside of Gravity Daze and Unit 13.
The dumb thing is that those people (gaming forumites) already know about the Vita and are probably sold on it now or at some later point. Why spend money marketing towards that group?
i was gonna pre-order UMVC3 but just noticed that SF x Tekken comes out not even two weeks after the Vita launches. wtf man

I downloaded the Japanese Gravity Daze and Ragnarok Odyssey demos. If I have one memory card, I can't play them?
If I switch over to a US PSN account, am I going to be able to buy PSN games with a non-US credit card?
how do you buy JPN games? Buy PSN cards online or something?
Those things appear to be marked up 20% on amazon, wtf.
wait, what? that's all confusing me
I downloaded the Japanese Gravity Daze and Ragnarok Odyssey demos. If I have one memory card, I can't play them?
No, you're okay there. What you CAN'T play are full games downloaded from to a Japanese account on a U.S. account (and vice versa), and online passes are also tied to whichever region you buy the game from. No idea on DLC yet but I'm sure it's region-locked.
Uhhh, are you sure?
I was under the impression that if he's on a US account he won't be able to access and use JP account software and will have to change to a JP account to play them which will erase all his settings for his US account on the card.
Online or DLC. If it has DLC you can play the main game on your US account but will need to play the DLC parts on your JPN account and I'm not sure if the save from your US account will load on your JP account. So if there will be DLC like Gravity Daze it makes sense to just play it on your JP account.
I thought DCharlie was able to get his CC to work on the US store and that's how he bought all his US stuff?wait, what? that's all confusing me

Misses wants a vita. What say you Evilbore, Yes or No? Valentines day is today after all.Get her an iPhone, seriously. iOS seems to have far more chick friendly games, stuff like put the thing in the bin and tidy the kitchen. Oh and that sandwich simulator.

We should get her to register an account on bore. At least its more liberal than NeoGaf here.
As for why I'd get her something like the vita, ladies deserve nice things. She just so happens to love a lot of the games coming out for the vita. Sadly it wasn't out today or else I would have gotten one for her. When you've been with someone for nearly 10 years money means nothing. The only thing that matters is their happiness. By the way when are you two gonna do some more coop so I can get off the hook? :P
My .02 memory card from amazon arrived today as well as minna no golf for vita.
Was bummed to find out that BlazBlu EXTEND doesn't really have story modes for everyone. It's just a recap story mode for CT/CS that covers 1 route and you only play as 3 characters (Ragna/Jin/Noel) and then there's story modes for the 3 DLC characters + 1 new character. So everyone other than those 7 characters has no story stuff in Extend.
I'm still going to get it because I like having 1 fighter for a new portable and with that d-pad it should play and look amazing. But bummed that when I want to play as most of the characters there will just be arcade mode and no story mode to go through. The story modes in their games are my favorite part for single player playing.
yeah, was gonna try and be content with HSG and WO, but think imma have to splurge for lumines and probably stardust. will try and hold off for fifa, uncharted, katamari, rayman, etc for a while. seriously decent launch lineup...trying to space it out so they don't just sit in a backlog (new year's resolution!).
Those things appear to be marked up 20% on amazon, wtf.
I'll buy you PSN cards. Just Paypal me the cash (face value) or something.
PSN US (will be using for US games with online or DLC): bebpo2
PSN JP: (will be using for everything else): bebpojp or bebpo. Need to check which is it is when I'm home.
I mentioned this in the GAF thread but not being able to turn off the auto-sleep or at least set it to something like 60 mins is one of those silly decisions they don't think about (beyond making people think the battery life is better) that will bite them in the ass when Final Fantasy XX or MGS5 comes out on it and halfway through a cutscene the system shuts down.
Also is there no way to see an actual number % on battery life left.
Wut the fuck, i can't buy anything on the store because i already have two portable devices registered to my psn account? Sony suxxx
Can you deactivate them online? I still have my PSP GO but I sold my first fatty PSP years ago.
Also suxxx, ice cream sandwich tablets
Just fyi
No Metro, no good.
quick question - to change the region, do i need to 'Restore Settings' or 'Restore the PS Vita System'?
YES , Maximuscards.com - no waiting, booom code right away. Seconds it takes, SECONDS.
Rant: that fucking Nikkei piece. FUCK ME.
Also - people suggesting that article is the reason Nintendo's price has started going up.... FUCK ME TWICE.
I love how there's a million demos out already.
I'm on my JP account and I have:
Sumo oni demo
Gravity Rush demo
Musou demo
Visual Novel Horror thing demo
Shinobido 2 demo
Didn't get a chance to play around with my Vita much because I had a phone call that was all night and gotta sleep early since I have a mediation at work tomorrow first thing. But hopefully tomorrow after work I will dive into VITA GAMING for the night :hyper
where the fuck did my ignore button go to
It's still pretty cool in theory that you can see someone down the street from you is playing Blazblu, send them a msg, and then play a game together and add them to your friends list and then start talking about how you live 3 mins away and you should meet up and stuff. Although that's probably how people disappear. Still, in theory it's pretty neat.
Faulty card,maybe?
Dungeon Hunter: Alliance is a launch title for the PlayStation Vita, but PS3 fans may remember the name. That's because it's currently available via the PSN for $12.99. Mac users may have spotted the game on iTunes, where it costs $0.99 right now.
On Vita? It costs $39.99.
If it's mainly PS3/X360 ports and 3DS multiplatform games with a little better graphics (like 999-2)...yeah, that's not too bad.

Earlier this week, Amazon Japan started a campaign which gave a ¥2000 discount to those who bought a PlayStation Vita 3G model along with at least one game. The campaign started on February 15 and will run through March 31.
While Amazon and other retailers often run such bundle campaigns, it turns out that this may actually be an official Sony campaign. Multiple smaller retailers have reported that Sony has given them instructions to begin the same campaign on the 23rd (yes, there seems to be some annoyance that Amazon gets to start it earlier).
It's unclear if Sony will give publicity to the campaign, with an official name and campaign website, or if the campaign will be handled by retailers themselves. We should find out next week when the campaign expands to all retailers.
It's worth noting that the campaign only applies to the 3G model. Amazon is still offering this as the first run limited edition, which includes a pre-paid 3G usage card. The system's MSRP is ¥29,980, but Amazon discounts it to ¥26,707. (Amazon offers similar discounts on most systems, although the percentage varies.)
Well I'm liking it a lot.
It's a huge improvement over the original PSP and I love the potential. I'm looking forward to cross-platform PS3/Vita support with MLB 12 a lot. I like "Near" that shows you all the Vita owners within a 3 mile radius of you. Uncharted looks like PS3 Uncharted and Wipeout is melt-your-face-off awesome.
If EA were to port Battlefield 3 to this I'll actually pay for a 3G plan just to play it anywhere.
it's cute that you think at&t 3g is fast enough for an fps
yeah, that's not going to happen. 3G 'multiplayer' will probably be more about async competition, high scores, ghosts, and things like that.
I played a bunch of GoW: Ghost of Sparta and some more Lumines and Wipeout yesterday. The screen is so vibrant I was seeing spots after about 30 mins of Lumines (at night, in a well-lit room...). Looks beautiful but I may need to dial down the brightness a little. GoW looks pretty good for a PSP game, thanks to the bigger, brighter screen. Wipeout - I'm going to just do the first few races over and over 'til I improve I think. It's counter-intuitive given how easy they are but it seems to be the only way.
i've heard that too but i still haven't finished 3. The Vita has the advantage of being able to play it with the kid around - she tends to ask awkward questions about why Daddy is gouging someone's eyes out if i play on the tv.

Uncharted has got to represent one of the greatest perception -> reality gaps in "gamer common sense".
Ah, come now, Bebsie. Uncharted isn't their most important franchise for the west, God of War is. It's not even close. Uncharted has got to represent one of the greatest perception -> reality gaps in "gamer common sense".
fun fact - the highest selling uncharted game has only sold about 20k more than the highest selling resistance game
Uncharted has got to represent one of the greatest perception -> reality gaps in "gamer common sense".
no kidding. also in gaf deludo-land: killzone.
When you talk to random casual people about what the must have games are on the PS3 they'll always say Uncharted.
No one ever cared about Killzone until the CG trailer at the PS3 reveal. Then people were hyped about K2, but after it came out no one cared about KZ again.
Maybe I missed it, but KZ3 seemed to get very little hype.
Maybe I missed it, but KZ3 seemed to get very little hype.
Once Killzone 2 came out and people realized it was just another shooter instead of the second coming as it had been hyped as by fanboys the hype bubble quickly deflated for the 3rd. All the sony shooters were over-hyped as people were trying to create the Halo or Gears for that system.
Real talk: I still haven't popped in KZ3 or R3. No interest. Then again I haven't popped in Halo Reach for the same reason. Just kind of bored of all those franchises. No rush to play more.

Got the second playable character in Shinobido 2. She has a slightly different fighting style but I'm not sure what the difference is supposed to be. There's also a bunch of skins you can unlock, including the two main characters from the original Shinobido.
I'm really enjoying the hell out the game right now...easily better than the last few Tenchus.

No, the only fighting game you have is TatsuCap.
I'm really enjoying the hell out the game right now despite its flaws...easily better than the last few Tenchus.
Interesting analysis Oscar.That'd be cool. WotS games have all the weapons and different fighting styles, but not the same stealth gameplay. If it was all blended together I'm guessing Shinobido's stealth would need to be slowed down a lot (not Tenchu 4 slow).I'm really enjoying the hell out the game right now despite its flaws...easily better than the last few Tenchus.
That was my impression of the first game back in the day. Pretty fun tenchu-ish game that's faster and more fluid feeling thanks to Acquire being a good dev. I'd like to see a Way of the Samurai x Shinobido open world sandbox stealth game by them one day.
More media friendly, sure, but how are you defining mainstream? Perhaps on paper it seems like a more mainstream idea, but in practice, it is significantly less popular.
Umm, so is this thing officially out yet or not? my level headedness is about to run out, and I'd like to take advantage of that Target offer, if it's still up.
Sony hangs it hat on Uncharted because it's more mainstream and media friendly than the third game in a tits n blood n hack n slash series.
Although I would wager Uncharted is more popular than God Of War in Yurop.
More media friendly, sure, but how are you defining mainstream? Perhaps on paper it seems like a more mainstream idea, but in practice, it is significantly less popular. I mean, unless you want to contend that God of War sells better because the games are of significantly higher quality, but I think that's a bit of a dead end.
Europe, who knows. I could see it doing better there, I guess, but I only have UK numbers, which puts the two franchises on about equal footing, with UC2 nosing slightly ahead of GoW3 for the recent installments.
another fun fact, to keep the post slightly on topic: if Golden Abyss outsells Chains of Olympus, it will be the 2nd-best selling game in the franchise.
A few questions:Yes, yes (my experience is that they'll give you an unlock code for phones a month after you purchase them), and if you're willing to go through a few hoops, you can grab this for $252 - http://shop.lockerz.com/electronics/playstation-vita/psv-game-system-3g.html
So are we 100% sure that the US 3G SKU is locked to AT&T?
Is AT&T one of those benevolent operators that offer to unlock their devices down the road for a fee?
Is Amazon's "Launch Bundle" the best deal for a 3G Vita right now?

Some stole your name on PSN! and he's sullying it up all around town
Got to chapter 8 in Uncharted and it's definitely picked up. One of the few things the game does better than Uncharted 3 is that the stealth actually works, like Uncharted 2; which I like. Also no bullshit enemies or combat layouts like U3 so far. The random STOP THE GAME AND SPIN AND PIECE TOGETHER puzzles in the middle of a stage are pretty stupid though.
At this point the game feels a lot like Bend's Resistance game. Very solid, "smaller size" entry. Not bad.

how is the feel of shooting? videos make it seem like the laziest hitscan shooting with no impact
oh, and a bunch of places are doing that 'buy two get one free' deal. I think I saw Gamestop, Target, and Best Buy, but I'm not entirely sure and there may be others.
PSP + PS3, presumably
Nay. Thus far the PS3 sales are a drop in the bucket. Chains of Olympus is part of a very, very, very rare club - PSP million sellers in NA.

Playing Sony products and probably having lots of filthy, dirty sex too!
And playing PSP games on this remind me what the BIGGEST graphical improvement of the Vita is over the PSP: NO MORE DITHERING. PSP games looked pretty good for the most part, but the dithering really hurt the IQ in almost EVERY GAME. It's so nice to be past dithering in portable 3d gaming.
So, is there a simple guide on how to manage multiple accounts and what's lost each time? I've seen some people say you need two cards and others say you only need one. I really hope all that dumbness is fixed in a patch.
also, is there background downloading? PSP and 3DS both keep you at the main screen to download (although a recent 3DS update changed it so you can queue up downloads for when the system is asleep).

the dithering is there, bro. you don't magically change a 12- or 16-bit frame buffer to 24-bit! :lol (seriously, look closer, although it's more evident if you upscale without bilinear filtering, which introduces a little color interpolation)
What the best case and protector(s) ya'll are using?
Amazon links would be appreciated.

What is lost - seriously, the main hassle is just inputting your PSN and wi-fi info again. Unless you are super-anal about all your OS settings, it takes a couple of minutes tops to switch over. It's honestly not that bad after you bite the bullet. I've got J games on cart, and E games on the mem card and can run both now without switching.
Sigma may be the most lackluster port ever but at that price, even non-EB weaksauce bitches should be biting hard
Crush does work on the Vita and it's one of the best puzzle games ever made -period-
Arby :rapetime :mrtgot a tracking number this morning :pimp
There's a bunch of demos up now, including one for Unit 13.
UMvC3 DLC is also up...but only the outfit packs, and for whatever reason Shuma and Jill are not showing up on the list. I am able to download DLC I bought on PS3 for free, as promised...although it says this is for a limited time. :lol ::)
Since the content doesn't work on my J-version and the game is only a 1.5GB download, I bought it again off PSN.
Also got Ninja Gaiden and Dynasty Warriors. NG feels...off somehow. It's going at 30FPS and just feels kind of stiff to me.
Platinum trophy for the tutorial app. now I know how to use a touch screen 8)
the back touch being pressure sensitive is cool. couldn't make it do what I want, but I'll blame the app.
I still haven't tried the tutorial app or Little Deviants :lol
Every game I've tried that tries to use the back touch screen...it never works. I still don't understand how to use it. Like when rotating objects in Uncharted it just doesn't make sense to me and I can't figure out how to rotate things. I just hold one spot down and let it rotate slowly.
I'm not sure what part Uncharted demo shows, but it's worth noting the game gives off a bad impression at the start. The opening area looks like crap and has lots of shoot shoot combat before you've really gotten the controls down and learned the ins and outs. That's Chapter 0. Chapter 1 is short and ok-ish, Chapter 2 is full of horrible touch mini-game tutorials and sucks.
Around chapter 3/4 the game really starts to pick up, both graphically and game design-wise. I'm at chapter 15 now, and I think I'm still under halfway through the game. It's pretty lengthy and the chapters are 10-20 mins short (which is a good thing because it doesn't seem to save at checkpoints, only chapters).
My main problem with the Uncharted GA visuals is that the framerate is almost never 30fps. There's some nice looking areas and cool shadow/fire effects at parts; if it was 30fps it'd be a great looking title even if it's sub-HD. But with the framerate it basically feels like a PSP game.
That's actually my problem with a lot of Vita and 3DS games so far in this early period. None of the developers give a shit about the framerates. Everyone is just following the same rule they used with the DS and the 3DS when it comes to 3d gaming: 15-25fps is fine, it's handheld so who cares.
To me 15-25fps gaming has basically been ingrained as a "handheld" feel to me because so many handheld games have run at that rate. Now that the handhelds are catching up to the console experience, it's time to get console framerates and at least have all games be 30fps locked. I'll take lower resolution for locked 30fps if it comes to that.
What's sad is I used to fight for 60fps and at the end of the day I'd be just "willing" to take a locked 30fps because devs wanted pretty graphics at the expense of framerate. Now they're going for even lower fps to justify the visuals and at sub-30fps nothing is worth it imo.
I should note that some games on Vita run at good framerates:
Katamari is 30fps locked
ToI-R is 30fps in town, 60fps in battle
Good People Die is 30fps locked (duh)
Shinobido 2 is 30fps locked
But
Uncharted is 20-25fps
Wipeout drops below 30fps at the start of races with multiple ships
Hot Shots...dunno, but it is probably dropping below 30

i was amazed by the screen.
if you want your mind blown play Virtua tennis holy shit this game looks fucking amazing. I literallydon't think theres been a sports game that looks this great. the character models are AMAZING. you can also do dirty things like having wozniack go in a doggy style pose in AR or have Sharapova walk over to your bed:

I was under an impression there quite a few notable 3DS games that have 60fps. But there ratio of racers and fighters seems to be high so that may be why.

i believe the parallax barrier display is 60 hz and does not use a combined frame buffer, so therefore 60 fps + 3d is impossible? battle scenes in tales of the abyss -- the best 3ds game, by the by -- drop from a rock solid 60 to 30 when the slider is engaged
there is NO such thing as a 30 fps 3D game on 3DS ... no fuckin' way
I kind of doubt DW Next stays at 60fps :P Console DW7 can't even stay at 60fps! :lol
Playing the DW Next demo a few days back I thought the framerate was pretty high, but it felt like console DW7 meaning it was unstable.
I thought Tekken on 3DS was 60 fps in 3D? some fighting game is

I'm pretty sure there are a few. 3DS has enough horsepower to pull off two images at 30fps for some stuff. Mario 3DS feels pretty smooth in 3D, could be 30fps; hard to tell.

I hate to break it to you, but the DS version of Abyss is 30fps battles whether the slider is on or off.
It's the only advantage the PS2 version has over it, 60fps battles. 3DS wins by far in load times and image quality/graphics seem about equal. Content is identical. If I ever replayed Abyss I'd suck it up and play it on the 3DS for the shorter loads.
Modnation Racers wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't such a mess. That came out wrong. The game seems fun but it runs poorly and blurry and seems like an afterthought with how the touch screen controls work.
Wipeout looks really damn nice. I feel like an old fogey for automatically going to the dual airbrake controls, which only stress the slight awkwardness of using the x button with my thumb half on the analog stick.
Super Stardust seems fun, even with its weird touch gimmicks.

Yeah I thought Ragnorak Odyssey demo was solid. But then again it seems like a grindy MMO type and would probably get bored of it.
I really didn't like Sumo oni demo. Too much touch screen using. Okami did it better.

need to go back to it - so far, i'm bored and it just makes me want a monster Hunter with good graphics for a change.
apparently it's 45fps in both 3D and non-3D - looks nice too
tekken 3ds is NOT 60 fps in 3d mode, that's for sure
Tekken 3D's big headline feature is its ability to maintain 60 frames per second with or without the 3D effect enabled, and sure enough, it rings true: pushing up the slider at any time results in zero frame loss, unlike in Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition and Dead or Alive: Dimensions. It's the first time a fighting game has been able to run at full rate in 3D without degradation, but that said, it was hard to focus on the fighters with 3D at full blast. Our eyes kept pulling towards the backgrounds instead, but with the slider set halfway, the illusion significantly improved.

You can transfer saves, yes. I just dragged them to my PC, then used the content manager thing and sent them to my Vita. I think you can through the PS3 too.
the way the content manager works makes sony look crazy paranoid. everything is done on the vita itself. the PC app isn't a manager like media go for psp was, it's more like a driver that allows the vita to a folder on your computer for specific stuff. you can't drag and drop and use it like an external drive.
Bought it along with 16gig memory.

Eh, I think Katamari is about as wacky nihon as you can get.
I bought a 4GB for now, but I'll probably just go balls out and buy a 32GB as soon as I have some more money.
Vita hardware is pure sex.
Katamari? The series hasn't been worth mentioning since We Heart Katamari and the latest installment hardly seems to reverse that course.
Is there a way to force native res for PSP games?
Ill get a vita when there is a good rpg on it. Is the tales game worth buying a vita over?
sounds like your gut had a stroke
tekken 3ds is NOT 60 fps in 3d mode, that's for sure
???
It is definitely 60FPS in 3D mode. I have the game and can confirm it. I also agree with this review:

The game hurts my eyes when 3D is on. 3D is also disabled completely when playing online.
Mario Kart is 60 fps in both 2D and 3D. No change in framerate when switching from what I can tell. That's all I have for now.
I'll go back and check as well, but i don't think Mario Kart is 60fps in 3D
Monkey Ball -definitely- is 60fps in 3D though.
also rayman origins rules and best version is vita version cuz DEM GRAPHIX
ALL versions
The hardware is so fundamentally strong that i kind of want every good console game I've ever played to be on Vita.
ALL versions
yeah, all version of Rayman Origins are mostly the same, including the Wii game, which apparently uses the same assets as the PS3/360 version, only at an assy resolution. Vita version edges out because of the OLED display. But if you played the PC/PS3/360 version on an OLED, it'd look better (1080p vs 5-something on the vita).
how's the english translation on the vita one, bebs? it's the first one not translated by agness kaku, so i was wondering if it felt noticeably different or less funny/weird?
also, i'm sure i don't need to point this out, but you championing a new katamari is kiiiiiinda funny given the conversation we were having in the 3ds thread.
sounds like your gut had a stroke
I need new earbuds/headphones, boritos. Something appropriately priced ($30-40 max) would be appreciated.
Every person in the industry seems to hate Vita and its entire game library.
Every person who is a gamer seems to love Vita and enjoy its launch games.
There's definitely a large disconnect going on. Not really sure why. Then again the same press treats the PSP as a joke of a system that never had any good games and was an inferior DS, so it shouldn't be that surprising. I can't think of one time I ever read anything positive about the PSP in the west, despite it being a good portable with a very solid library by the end.

Wanna listen to the soundtrack to Armageddon while carving through Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus? Don’t miss a thing, baby.
Yeah I dunno if people should be especially concerned whether or not Jeff is hooked, he's got his own set of tastes and they're not exactly concurrent with success or lack of it.
However, Jeff isn't the only one in the media with little positive to say about the Vita.
But this is how it is in ze industry. One day you're a darling, the next you're dogfood, and you may have done the exact same things on each day.
Okay, despite all indications it's a stupid idea, I want to buy a VITA! I've been skimming the thread but am still gonna tl;dr you:
- What size card do I "need"? Will 4GB quickly be filled up with a single demo? Is there any internal storage at all?
- I DEFINITELY want access to both English and Japanese stores. It sounds like I don't need two cards - correct?
- Can I download any of my existing PSN content (inc. PS1 games) to the VITA?
- If I buy 2-get 1, what's are the consensus best games at launch? I haven't played Rayman on console, yet, so that seems like a good pick...?

@Patel if you're interested in the 3G model, Amazon is still offering the Launch Bundle which consists of: a 3G Vita, 8GB stick, AT&T sim charged w/ 250MBs (lol), activate it and you'll receive Super Stardust Delta for free. All for $300.
Basically it packs the most value for anyone intending to pick up a reasonable memory stick.
Jeff didn't trash Vita,he was pretty much spot on.
One word
Indifference
If you listen to his Jar Time stuff at GB hes indifferent bout lots a stuff.
Okay, despite all indications it's a stupid idea, I want to buy a VITA! I've been skimming the thread but am still gonna tl;dr you:
- What size card do I "need"? Will 4GB quickly be filled up with a single demo? Is there any internal storage at all?
- I DEFINITELY want access to both English and Japanese stores. It sounds like I don't need two cards - correct?
- Can I download any of my existing PSN content (inc. PS1 games) to the VITA?
- If I buy 2-get 1, what's are the consensus best games at launch? I haven't played Rayman on console, yet, so that seems like a good pick...?
You say "switch back" - how hard is changing between US and JP accounts on the same card? On PS3, I just log out and log back in.

apparently save data is linked to the app iOS style. if you delete your app, you delete the data. if you want to backup the save, you have to backup the entire app. which also explains why retails games still leave a presence after ejection. that sucks.
Bebpo, if you don't care about trophies, your Uncharted save will load on your U.S. account.

It's even worse considering every single person on this goddamn island won't shut up about Lin now.
i think everyone who has a beef with andrex should be forced to enjoy a 24 hour pokemon marathon with him
maf's got firsties
methodis, did you miss last year around the 3DS launch when pretty much these exact same articles appeared with a "find and replace" done with '3DS' and 'Vita'?
I'll go back and check as well, but i don't think Mario Kart is 60fps in 3D
Monkey Ball -definitely- is 60fps in 3D though.
it has to be 60 fps interleaved, then? unless the parallax barrier display is actually 120hz?
Also: NON-BUBBLY THEMES.
I'm willing to pay $5-10 for something other than bubbles.

How easy is it to upgrade to a higher capacity memory card?
is the psp katamari on the psn store? wonder how the second stick mapping works out for it?

Resistance Retribution wasn't HALF bad, and now they have true dual analog so they'll wanna do that shit. Screens look ok. I always get Retribution mixed up with Killzone Liberation PSP game which is the best Killzone game.
Wow, Katamari was shit! Watching the credit roll now after 1 hour, 15 mins gametime.
Dissidia on vita is pretty great
Anyone have any guess on how Square is going to react to the vita. Support doesn't seem there for it unlike the psp

I suspect that'll change at or after the big trade shows
Yeah, I'm not sure why we care about SquareEnix atm. Even their next DQ looks dubious.
Oh yeah, Type-0, almost forgot that game exists. See that's an example of another missed opportunity. I still think it's coming (to US Vitas), but if so, it should have been at least advertised.

since when did Katamari introduce a new control scheme? demo doesn't give off a good impression, but the new controls make it easier and the stretch/squash thing is a nice gimmick.
game doesn't look good, and I don't mean in that Katamari quirk way. ugly ugly shadows, not so great image quality, etc. for a game so basic this stuff shouldn't have been difficult.
broke down and grabbed Uncharted.
Hi there!
I hope you don't like my previous wallpapers too much... ^.^'
Here's something else: Introducing 'labels' and something I did in the upper right corner, complimenting the notification bulb. I think it looks pretty cool.
(http://www.caemgen.nl/vita/psvita_concept1.jpg)
Watch what happens at the left side, when you would change pages.
(http://www.caemgen.nl/vita/psvita_concept2.jpg)
Mind you, I just made two to demonstrate the 'concept'.
What do you think?
I'm surprised tech-heads like you haven't bought one considering it's probably the hottest piece of tech on the market in years.
buying the 3DS I regret more than buying the Virtual Boy.
there are a few good (great?) games for it
but it's still underpowered, and the 3D gimmick ensures there really won't be a lot of cool 2D (or even 2.5D) games.
I haven't played Mario or RE, kinda want to, but am also really tempted to sell off the system and all the games for it and re-buy a DSLite
lies
the e-shop is fucking bullshit and if you don't know it you should be ashamed.
you really like that rolling eyes smiley btw.
:lol There's at least five good-great games on it already. I could probably name 10 worth checking out. You literally have no idea what you're talking about.
:lol There's at least five good-great games on it already. I could probably name 10 worth checking out. You literally have no idea what you're talking about.
such as? I will look into it and report back at some point. I feel you are wasting my time tho.
andrex's full of crap. pushmo is (apparently) the only decent game (and i don't like it, myself), and the rest are disposable garbage like that 30 minute wayforward platformer.
seriously, if your standards are so low that the nintendo eshop's lineup is considered good, the vita will BLOW YOUR FUCKING MIND.
Mutant Mudds isn't good. And none of those games are worth anythign except maybe Pushmo. Wow you really begging for straws
Plus I simply expect to see more low-tier/mid-tier stuff get multi-platform releases like 999-2. 999-2 sold pretty damn close between the versions despite like a 100x install base difference. I think a lot of games that are the less mainstream titles that will sell <100k will probably do pretty close on Vita/3DS, at least close enough to make it worth spending the $1,000 to port over the game, add Anti-alaising + trophies and call it a day. I am completely fine if the Vita library is 3DS games with superior versions + PS3/X360 portdowns. No reason to play the 3DS then besides Nintendo 1st party games. For instance if they port over RE: Revelations with better visuals + better controls + trophies...improvement!
youre the one who came in here and started shit posting because YOU HAD YOUR FEELINGS HURT ABlOO BLOO. just stay out of this thread.
I often wonder about those who consider Nintendos digital offerings as fantastic. Are they deliberately ignoring the PC indie scene or are they actually that ignorant?n fans play stuff on their n consoles and ONLY stuff on their n consoles, so the latter.
Sony is promising information on unannounced PlayStation Vita titles during a web broadcast that it will hold on March 9. The broadcast is titled "Welcome! PlayStation Vita Game Heaven."
According to Sony's announcement, the broadcast will include information about unannounced Vita titles, upcoming releases, and Vita services, as well as new information about in-release titles. The broadcast will feature presentations from game creators themselves.
Sony will also be giving away 20 3G/Wi-Fi Vita systems as prizes to viewers.
This might interest some people,some pretty interesting results

question to my precious weeaboo friends: I have $30 in my psn wallet that is burning a hole in my pocket. Should I get the Ys games OR Dissidia Dudeummik? :-[
note that Ys 1&2 currently don't work on Vita, not even through the PS3.Ys 1+2 works, who is spreading these lies?
if you're only getting one, get Ys Oath. Ys 7 is awesome too, but Oath is on another level.

is there a template for those
Does Unit 13 have a smooth framerate? Just asking 'cause Bebpo has been complaining about Vita framerates.
Can't wait until PSOne titles are supported, then the Vita will be the console of the forever.
how do neo geo games work on the psp/vita? i see there are separate ones for the psp and ps3. can't you just buy one copy for both like a mini?
Do you approve of DSiware, Oscar? If so share your list, and I'm willing to give some games a try. Andrex and Emcee are disqualified for promoting mediocre and overpriced games in the past. They owe me at least $249.99.
There was some shitty block tower game , oh god what was it, I excised it from my mind. Damn Jinfash to hell.

I'm excited for the announcements, but man we've come a long way if these would be considered the major announcements that will single handedly "SAVE THE VITA FROM EMINENT DOOM."
They've historically sold from really well to decently on an already popular platform. But they don't strike me as IPs that would PULL a sinking ship into popularity :P
Sales talk and numbers aside, fuck yeah I wannum.
So I bought the Vita Trigger Grips yesterday, even though I figured they'd probably be some cheap plastic garbage that I'd immediately regret buying, and.....they're surprisingly good. They don't add much weight or size to the system, but they feel pretty good, it makes the whole system fit better in my hand. The L and R triggers are really stiff, but they're still better than having them directly on top of the system. Also, it does make the system wider so you have to stretch a little bit farther to reach the touchscreen, but it hasn't been a major problem.
Mobile phones havent got anything on Vita.
Why do people still call PS1 PSX?
gettin
MLB Tha Show
Free Motorstorm RC
prob Unite 13 tomorrow :bow
The cartridge I reviewed from locked up my Vita several times, and deleted Virtua Tennis 4 and my save. I had to boot the Vita in the service mode and rebuild the database.
The show has always looked less awesome than competing series, cept lighting has always been tops- as a game though it kinda destroys all others
wait waht the fuck the vita doesn't download game when the system is asleep?
Motorstorm was taking over an hour, so I plugged in the charger and left it here. hours later and it didn't download anything.

i hate overtake and rally cars and drift in this :piss
Amazon shippedRidgeRip-Off Racer out tonight.
i am about to do something i may regret this week.
sony can eat a dick next gen, no lie, this is the last turd squeezed from their ass cheeks i will ever swallow
(http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/images/sony_bullshit_anim4.gif)
i can't believe i sold my 360 and PSP to buy this goddamned thing
i can honestly say that i am a fucking idiot
I havent had any problems with the Vita outside Unit 13 being badly coded and crashing the Vita. Sounds like more Microsoft FUD.
beautiful screen, though
SG is it BC
there's a lot of choppy shit about the vita, like that godawful web browser
what is the Vita's excuse for not running Flash, btw?
there's a lot of choppy shit about the vita, like that godawful web browser
It feels like an incomplete POS. Someone mentioned Sony promising improvements, as their original objective was to optimize it enough to run alongside games (right now it prompts you to close your backgrounded game), but I won't believe it until I see it. Even my 3 y/o 3GS renders websites better and more smoothly.what is the Vita's excuse for not running Flash, btw?
Adobe ceasing mobile Flash development, if Sony is to be believed. "We're still negotiating with Adobe" was the last thing we heard about the subject.
i can't imagine persona 5 going to the 3ds. if it goes to a handheld, it will be the vita, for sure. i still think it's going to be a console game, though. catherine was the warm-up for the persona team.
the 3ds seems more like a place where smt4 would go.
The PS3 is mobile?
I guess i don't understand why something with the specs of the Vita or the PS3 can't run a browser I can run on a Pentium II
I think Eel is cursed
transfer speeds from ps3 to vita are terribad
I think Eel is cursed
no, they're just really slow, i'd read that elsewhere but thought it was an exaggeration
it is no exaggeration
given the way Catherine sold across PS3 and 360, there's no way Atlus would want to leave 360 out for P5.
plus, why do an initial Vita port when you can wait 6 months to a year and call it a special edition and get tons of double-dippers?
Have you ever seen The Secret, Eel?
there is no way persona 5 comes out on 360. it'd be dumb to have it come out there
Would you care to place a wager on it?
Yeah, P5 is PS3/X360.
Hahaha, you ask the impossible, sir.
But seriously, P5 being in development for PS3/360 using the engine from Catherine is pretty much the world's worst kept secret at this point.
I wanna jump in but it seems that either devs don't know what they're doing or the vita is not as powerful as expected. Gimme some hope.
I wanna jump in but it seems that either devs don't know what they're doing or the vita is not as powerful as expected. Gimme some hope.
At this point I think it's fairly safe to assume it's a mix of both, as is the case with almost every system and pre-launch hype. But I'd give it more time until we see more original games, since most of the ones released right now are quick ports or games that started out on the PS3. Most devs received their devkits as late as April '11.
Does Fifa run at a smooth, stable framerate? I wanna jump in but it seems that either devs don't know what they're doing or the vita is not as powerful as expected. Gimme some hope.

The problem is the system is not as powerful as a PS3 or X360 (which it doesn't need to be) yet devs are trying to hit the "port" button and just port over PS3/X360 games "as is" so of course they're gonna run like shit and be sub-HD and stuff.
They need to go in and downgrade everything until it runs smooth.
I'm hoping that devs are just learning how to squeeze more horsepower out of the Vita without draining the battery too soon. Also, both the GPU and CPU are multi-cores, right? Portable devs probably don't have much experience with such complicated hardware.It's all moot. Any money spent on making a built-for-Vita game take advantage of its specs is money in the toilet. Vector-based games like Loco Roco or whatever should look nice tho.
Sony trolled everyone with the "Gaming Heaven" JP event. :lol
Hahaha, you ask the impossible, sir.

i no but a ps3 exclusive is smarter. theres literally no reaosn to put it on 360 it has no history there
The average xbot just made FF13-2 chart second on NPD. Don't be a weeaboo now.
uhhh those screens are butt ugly. i certainly hope thats cause of the screen cap.
Hey, do PSP games just do pixel-doubling or do they actually smooth things out?
Posted this in the mecha thread, but since it's Vita related.How difficult is this to play with 0 knowledge of Japanese? I just watched a trailer and it looks incredible.

rayman origins is gorgeous, i like how you can pinch to zoom
uncharted and unit 13 have shown me that i need to invest in some grips, my hands were getting kind of crampy

text in motorstorm rc is unusually small
I don't like Motorstorm RC much. The control just feels really off and you actually have to let go of gas to make turns. wtf, this is an arcade racer, you make it so you can powerslide or something around turns. Leave it to the Motorstorm guys to suck the fun out of an RC racing game :( Also the graphics on the Vita one have this ugly washed out look and the framerate is weaksauce. It's not a baaaad game, but it should have been way better than this. Also why is there no full stage camera? I hate the first time around a track having no idea what the turn ahead of me will be and then I hit a wall :(
Started playing Hot Shots 6. Game is greaaat. I'm also way better than I remember being at this game! Got like a -7 on my first 9 hole!
Had to choose between playing on my JP account for trophies or US account for online.
...went with trophies :( Might finish the SP for trophies and then start a new save on my US account to just play multiplayer whenever.

I picked up the PDP vita trigger grip from gamestop. Definitely makes holding the vita more comfortable for long sessions. Only problem is with the shoulder triggers. They are kinda mushy. Not terrible, just not great. Love having the grip on until some decent cases get released.
Link to the product, please.

the "handles" or grips at the bottom just brace your hands and space them out a bit more, so that your thumbs aren't always clawed over on the analog sticks
so there's a demo for Ridge Racer on PSN
the demo is that interactive visualizer thing from e3 last year
I guess there's not enough content for a real demo
So, I've been noticing all these Vita banner ads on game sites, and one of them was themed "FPS gamers, rejoice!"
...
"You know, sometime, in the future. When we have an FPS game for you to play. May, maybe. Resistance. Yeah. And probably some other unspecified game, later on. Whatever that is. We have that extra stick, though. Check out this animation and see how cool it's gonna be whenever that happens."
Resistance looks pretty awful
Companies should just port some old FPS PS2/Xbox fps games. I'd buy Timesplitters, Urban Chaos, Cold Winter, and other console-only FPS games.
The FPS problem in a nutshell is:
if you're waiting for western developers to throw decent support behind a handheld, you'll be waiting a while
if you're waiting for japanese developers to make a decent FPS, you'll be waiting a while
it's a lucky thing that sony themselves have like three FPS series right now for some reason. that'll be the best bet for getting FPSs on the Vita.
As for the Vita, currently there are no plans to release a Vita version of this game.
We'll get a Killzone (ugh), and maybe another Resistance. Sony might try a Vita-specific original FPS at some point. The Medal of Honor games obviously sold well enough on PSP for EA to produce two of them, so we'll probably get another one of those. MAYBE a Battlefield, but it'll be one of those mediocre iOS Battlefields ported over. id might do a simple spin-off of one of their franchises just to test the waters. Gameloft will likely port over one of their Modern Combat games. A couple of other iOS devs might port over their FPS games, as well. There's a good chance that the COD Activision is coming out with this Fall will be the only full COD we ever get from them, but after that they may break off the Spec Ops and Zombie modes and sell them on PSN or something. I have a feeling that Bioshock game is going to quietly disappear and never be mentioned again.
I'm gonna reach deep inside my ass and pull out a guess that, over the Vita's lifespan, we'll see a dozen or so FPS games altogether, including smaller PSN-only stuff.
PlayStation Vita has sold over 1.2 million units worldwide so far, and the key to the platform's long-term success will be software, of course. Unfortunately, Vita won't be receiving any titles from God of War PSP developer Ready at Dawn, who confirmed to GamesIndustry International recently that the chance to make a Vita God of War game was considered.
Ru Weerasuriya, co-founder and CEO of Ready at Dawn, acknowledged, "It's an idea that was floated as far as what could happen on the Vita. And especially with a platform like that, we were enticed I think by the prospect of doing something on that platform, but it just didn't align with what we wanted, so I'm hoping that they do something on that because I definitely think that they should. There's so much potential for it. But it's something we toyed with for a little while."
...
So now Ready at Dawn is taking its one team and applying it to work on an unannounced next-gen project. According to Weerasuriya, it's what his team has always wanted to do.
"When it came to really decide what we wanted to do next, I think most of the guys internally just wanted to do something that, in some ways, we had built this company for. It's taken us time to get there and we've wanted to do new IP, we've been working on it for a while, and we felt the time was right and it was just the perfect alignment of everything that was happening," he said.
"And I think the big thing for us was just that we took the decision early to just skip a generation. I know that most people would have jumped on the current generation... most people ask us that, how do you go from a handheld to a next generation console? I think it's the right thing to do. Sometimes you've just got to make your bets and live by them."
So what's the studio working on? What platforms? Needless to say, Weerasuriya wouldn't divulge any specifics, but he did tell us this: "What I can tell you is that it's going to follow the lines of the type of games we make. It's going to be an action/adventure game, single player driven mainly, and there might be other components to it, but really, our goal is to tell a story where we want to be a story telling kind of team the way we built ourselves."
He also explained Ready at Dawn's desire to be prepared for next-gen from the start.
also i picked up endwar at $2.50 off psn, seems neat but you can def tell it's a straight DS portover
But it looks so much uglier :\ Would rather play it on Wii, and you don't hear me saying that often!
yeah, the new art style isn't bad, but the Wii game was really charming and unique. the only positive is the art style change will look better at higher resolutions, while the Wii games was purposefully a bit smudgy.
I wonder what else was changed. The music was a big part of the original game too. I know touch controls were added, but the original didn't use waggle or pointer controls at all and if anything would've benefited from dual analog controls. Combat was like an RTS/Pikmin mixed with a twin stick shooter, only without the 'twin sticks' part on the wii.
LKS is one of my favorite Wii games and maybe the best third part one. If LKS Vita comes to the states I'll still end up buying it if it's not completely butchered.

Hi, everyone. The next PS Vita System Software Update (v1.65) will be released soon and will include the following minor enhancements:well, fuck, i don't know why everyone was so worried
•A “Notification Alert” option will be added to Settings, so you can toggle alerts on or off
•“After 10 minutes” will be added to the time options under Power Save Settings
•An Arrow icon will now appear when PS Vita finds new activities in the LiveArea
•Caps Lock will be supported in the On Screen Keyboard
they pulled it due to "technical issues"

and there's supposedly still another, bigger update coming this month, which adds more psp backwards compatability
First review: 9.5/10

Also states that owners of the 3G model will get a higher Honor Quotient than WiFi owners.
Another great feature included is GPS functionality (for 3G/Wi-fi PS Vita owners) that essentially tracks how far you travel while you are physically playing the game, and translates the distance into an in-game stat boost called “Honor Quotient.” Your Honor Quotient can still be increased by defeating monsters and clearing stages, so you Wi-fi PS Vita users can also take advantage of this new stat feature.
prediction: 95% of Disgaea players never get off their couch
Persona 3 FES will be on the store for $10 tonight :bow

In what country? PSP didn't seem to do jack for shit anywhere but Japan.
The PSP did not have a hardware sales problem. The problem was that outside Japan, the software sold unbelievably poorly. Like, it's unreal how bad the software sold after year one. Time will tell if the Vita follows that path. I will say that so far, software is selling very badly, so the launch halo effect that PSP enjoyed obviously isn't coming in here.
Nintendo very specifically set out to lure them away this time, and while that's not an easy task, Sony is making their job easier by their inaction.

Where did you get it from? I don't even remember such rumour. UMD ripping kiosks is all I can remember and look how that turned out, lol.
I hate to suggest Sony planned something poorly
i have two umd movies. batman begins, and dark knight. i bought them very cheaply just before getting on a plane for 12 hours. i regret nothing.Oh I don't regret it, served me well during a flight and bus trip up north.
That Montezuma Free to Play game is pretty gross. You have like 5 lives and once those deplete you can either wait out 20 minutes or buy more lives from the PlayStation Store. The game's kind of fun so I'd actually be willing to buy a version of the game where I didn't have that junk in my way.

I agree, but I think they handle their DLC better, to be honest. At least you know going in that you only have five lives if you want to play for free. With Stardrone, even if you buy the skip level DLC it is still going to ask you if you want to skip levels afterwards every time you die, and it's one of those "you're gonna die a bazillion times" kind of games. Clearly put there to squeeze that extra buck out of you. Just price your fucking $3.99 game at $4.99 and be done with it, you skeezy twats.
Oh :-[
Well, there goes my rant. It's scummy to try to exploit those going for the higher scores with the aid if power-ups. :maf

Announcement of an announcement, etc. Sinobi is a reliable Japanese retail blogger. He has posted on Twitter that there will be an announcement conference for a new Vita game called "Soul Sacrifice" on May 10 at the Tokyo International Forum venue.
The key themes of the game are "A story about magicians", "the concept of evolved co-op battles", and "high spec graphics for creating a realistic fantasy world". No word on the developer or publisher, or any other information so far.
Edit: More info.
Ah, apparently there's an illustration of the game in Famitsu. It shows 4 characters fighting against a huge monster. Definitely sounds like a Monhun clone of some sort. Apparently those who register their PSN IDs will be able to stream the conference in May. There's a website but it isn't active yet: http://pscom.jp/SOULSACRIFICE
This might be getting quite the push from Sony. Apparently there's a 6 page ad in Famitsu just promoting the upcoming announcement event for the game.
Sometimes I feel like I wish I ran Sony.
PlayStation Vita's newest game debuted in Famitsu this week through a six page teaser advertisement. The advertisement reveals little in the way of specifics about the game, except that its name is Soul Sacrifice.
Sokuho@Hokanko has provided a summary of the six page advertisement, revealing the following:
The first page shows four characters fighting a giant three headed beast. This page has those key words that we mentioned earlier -- story of magicians, evolved combat, and real fantasy shown in high spec.
The second page shows a number of illustrations of demons and monsters, presumably your enemies. Text on this page reads, "Are you ready?"
Another image shows a hooded character with his open hand extended out to you. His hand has some sort of red zipper-like mark on it.
Other text in the ad indicates that the game is an action title that will shake your soul.
Specifics on Soul Sacrifice will be announced on May 10 at an event that will be held at Tokyo International Forum from 15:00 to 16:00 (doors open at 14:00). The event will be streamed to PSN members. There may be a registration process for watching the event. We should be getting details later this week.
The announcement event is being held by Sony Computer Entertainment, causing some speculation that the new game may be a first party title. The ad does not specifically state this, although it's worth noting that SCEI is also in the ad's copyright.
Pretty sure if I ran SEGA it would be bankrupt by Thursday.You'd go to jail for 20 years to embezzle the $34.57c SEGA games has in the bank? :-\
embezzlement :drool
They should just announce things when they are ready to announce them.
This whole announcement of an announcement thing backfired on them badly with VITA RISE TO HEAVEN because it hyped everyone up for some amazing announcement and it was less than that. This is going to be the same thing. Whereas if they had just announced the game as is, people might've been "oh, hey that looks kind of neat". When will they learn.
It was pretty much as Bebs said, though. Yes, "for what it was", it was fine, but they hyped it as something far bigger than "what it was". Right down to the name even. When the people of the realm are starving, you don't announce YE DELICIOUS FEASTE and then hand out Tic Tacs and wonder why everyone is giving you the stink-eye.
Pretty sure if I ran SEGA and everyone actually listened I could make them money AND restore some e-cred
Platinum? Those guys making games for Konami and who SEGA has vowed never to publish again? (At least in the west)Pretty sure if I ran SEGA and everyone actually listened I could make them money AND restore some e-cred
Sega's one of the better Japanese pubs this gen. Simply having Platinum on lock is a huge boost. Plus not having released any super crappy Sonic games in a while has boosted their rep a bit.
Oh, I fully expect their main sports games. I wonder if they'll try NHL again? Probably not, that was pretty disastrous on PSP.
Surprised by the lack of Tiger, the lack of SSX, the lack of Need for Speed especially, lack of Burnout... they were super bullish on the PSP right from launch, and they hung in there longer than most Western publishers. It's weird to see them playing it so safe on a non-Nintendo launch.
Don't remind me. I was sure we were talking about gamer cred though.
Nah, he said gamer cred AND money. Given they're doing the stuff you mentioned already with neither e-cred nor money to show for it, it's obviously not the best plan.
I hope they do a NHL game on Vita. I would buy it 100%.
FIFA is a nice game also. Hopefully next version will be a little better.
Cunting Disgaea 3 isn't on eurolands psn. What the shit Sony. Seriously, how about I spend my money on drugs, fine wines and Belgian chocolates for a beautiful lady instead?
back touch is nice for nubs, but if ur a pro fifa player like myself it inflates scores so much like i had a 35-41 game online with it
aim for the top right or top left, those are the hardest places for a keeper to dive to
Hmm, for Montezuma I've been getting a bunch of crystals from Near. I just got 200 as a gift.

Paint Park needs an online multiplayer mode. Sony shouldn't be pulling a Nintendo and being afraid people might send pictures of their penis drawings. People will find a way to do that anyways.spoiler (click to show/hide)(http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5195/7092391617_6dbd505747_b.jpg)[close]

I'm not against having an alarm clock in any of my devices... but pushing "alarm syncing" to the forefront of the feature list is hilarious to say the least. I also heard it's only supported over Ad Hoc, is that true? :lol
Takao - NHL07 wasn't an out-and-out disaster, but it sold basically about as well as a Gamecube version of an EA Sports game. I suppose that wasn't enough for EA, cuz we never saw another.
they made a trailer for a goddamned alarm clock app

Vita saved! Rise to heaven :hyper
Vita is dead. Rise to heaven :'(
As someone who has not yet purchased a Vita, I am continually shocked by how few reasons Sony is giving me to change my mind
I expect taking initiatives and spreading moneyhats, instead of wasting millions on games that barely do bank. All whilst Nintendo keeps eating their lunch, as far as JP games go.
Nothing their internal studios have produced has interested me beside the first LBP and U2.
I might miss a couple of Falcom titles, but that's about it.
That's because SCEJ makes weird ass quirky niche games with no selling power at all.
Like Tokyo Jungle! That game will sell 500 copies.
I've never heard of Tokyo Jungle.
but I feel it could be the most successful PlayStation C.A.M.P. title yet (which isn't a hard bar to break).

I do like the idea of C.A.M.P. in that it gives gamers cool games. But financially it doesn't seem to help Sony.
Nope, it's still fucking not. Honestly, the one ONE damn game I was remotely going to play with any longtime certitude was D3. It's as if Sony are a megalithic corporate behemoth, with a multitude of besuited business heads, more interested in oneupmanship than taking the brand forward.Cunting Disgaea 3 isn't on eurolands psn.

Maybe not immediately, but discovering talent and building a relationship with them could provide usefulness in the future. And besides, given who's developing (http://www.crispy.co.jp/) Tokyo Jungle I doubt it's rivaling Gravity Rush or Hot Shots Golf in terms of budget.
And yeah, I'm pretty heart broken towards Patchwork Heroes' performance.
Patchwork Heroes is probably the most fun "budget" game concept I played on psp. It doesn't really have depth to last beyond a few hour game, but the concept of a score based puzzle game where you saw giant airships apart as they fly was very awesome. Hope those guys make another game.
And yeah, I see what you're saying. Even if all these "pick up devs off the street and pay them to make a game" titles are niche and don't sell much. If they make good games it suddenly adds another quality team to Sony's 1st party lineup and down the road building up a bunch of teams like that could be really really helpful.
Like you know, if the Patchwork Hero guys were busy making a Vita title right now.

Hmmm... Acquire is a long running medium size developer. But Patchwork Heroes was a C.A.M.P. game. I thought C.A.M.P. games were for unestablished developers? Not sure about the details.
But my point is that Acquire isn't indie in the slightest (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acquire_%28game_developer%29) They've made the Tenchu games and Way of the Samurai games for the last decade along with a bunch of other stuff.
acquire and game arts, now those are developers i think of when i'm listing sales hits
The Camp program is good in principle, like so many things Sony does, but really isn't going anywhere in practice, like so many things Sony does.
I'm starting to feel there are too many hands jerking Oscars hairy cock these days. Some of them aren't even legal. Take a break, boys.

It would be interesting if they announced the next version of the 3DS at E3. That would simultaneously be the first time Nintendo has announced a handheld revision at an American event *and* the first time Nintendo has announced a handheld revision outside January or October.

I bought a Medabot game for Gamecube.
Man, that Monkey Ball demo is complete trash. I think even the DS version might control better. The analog controls are way too twitchy for the precision needed.
vita owners, like 3ds owners at this time last year, very closely resemble a hungry looney toons character in that any old piece of crap is starting to look like a walking, talking, delicious steak.

There are how many posts on GAF about the 4 screenshots for NSMB2 again?
even if you're brain-damaged and don't like NSMB Wii, you'd still have to admit a Mario platformer is a hell of a lot closer to being a walking, talking, delicious steak than a modern Monkey Ball game.
i boughti t and nejoyed it but refuse to play it until they patch it or allow you to turn off the microphone in co op :piss
if you didn't play the original Super Monkey Ball, you missed out. Second one is alright too. The rest are things that shouldn't have happened.

Isn't that an OS option? Press the touch screen for a bit and you should have options to toggle things, no? My Vita isn't with me right now so I can't check for you.

I sunk dozens of hours into the first Crazy Taxi, haha. Even tried to like the second one (the jumping was cool but god the map was awful). Funny enough, I never even tried the third one.
I actually don't think it needs a revival at all, though. The first game is pretty much a perfect realization of the concept.

Well there are only two scenarios:
- "Best game ever," lots of GIFs, then ends up playing like KZ2.
- "Best game ever," lots of GIFs, then ends up playing like Uncharted 2.
Both got almost the same treatment, but only one justified the hype. It all depends on how it looks, who'd developing it, and how hard Sony is pushing it, though.
But I'm sorry if the Sonyfegs are always offending your delicate sensibilities with their crazy talk. Sometime I wish I could castrate ninthings too thanks to the frequency of posting Zelda's demo gifs lately. Nobody is above this, not even a cum guzzler like you.
Name calling hurts man. :(
There's more they could do especially with online, and more maps, different additional modes, tweaking how each driver felt, more drivers, etc. There's a lot they could do. But, Sega.
No, there isn't. Online? The game has no multiplayer and doesn't need it. More maps? They tried that, none of them had the charm of the original arcade track. Different additional modes? Beyond Crazy Box? What are they going to do? Tweaking the drivers? They did new drivers.
It's a pure, brilliant arcade game. It doesn't need anything added to it. It's like Tetris. There's not a damn thing that has ever been added to Tetris that didn't make it worse. I don't know why people can't just let awesome shit be awesome shit and instead want to sequel every good idea until it sucks.
Is the PSP port bad?
Well, it's missing the original soundtrack and voices, and the framerate gets very dicey, especially in the CT2 tracks, but I don't think it's *bad*, per se. It's just not nearly as good as the Dreamcast version. Granted, no other version is as good as the Dreamcast version.
Back in the day I remember hearing talks about a Crazy Taxi movie. Can't imagine why such a potential cinematic masterpiece never saw the light of day.

I click on this thread about 10 times a day 'cause it is so weirdly active AND THERE ARE STILL NEVER ANY NEW GAMES :fbm
There's several games recently behind scenese that were due for the 3DS that have been canned and moved to Vita, for instance.
QuoteThere aren't enough in the world. Johnny DCharlietrain total.
yup - it's true - i have no means of knowing any of this and i'm just making shit up to get mad props on the bore because that's how i get my kicks.
I'm that sad #sadface #crying
I don't even think it's a secret what the games were given most were from the same company. But hey - you can believe what you want.
Quotei bet it'd look amazing on Vita and the touch screen would make inventory management so much better
naa - once you get to the "hard" parts of Monster hunter you need to be able to do things on the fly whilst being able to see what you are doing so using the front touch screen is a no-go - so all you need is the back touch to allow you to scroll through active inventory and go into on field item creation.
They shouldn't make it too easy - i've said it before : A huge part of MH is that you have to become skilled at all these things and multitasking is part of what makes the game fun. Trivialise it too much and i think it'd lose some of the panic moments and , thus, be a worse game.
haha, andrex is really bad with people knowing stuff he doesn't know.
to paraphrase what i've said to you before, dcharlie knows this stuff because he has friends in the biz. if he spills all the stuff they tell him on a forum to impress some random chap he doesn't know, they're not going to be his friends anymore, and then he'll have nothing to do on thursday nights.
lmao @ this little nintenbot calling dcharlie a nobody :lol
Yes yes I've heard it all before. Same with the NPD crap. The billion NPD and <insert company here> ninjas perusing The Bore 24/7 will suddenly pounce on dcharlie if he says anything too specific.
I love it when nintendo fans get all "LOOK AT MY USERBASE!" - it gives me rock hard wood.
Here - here's one of them - the info is out there on most of them :
http://ds.ign.com/articles/118/1182859p1.html
Fuck off Andrex
Gents - let's have a cup of tea here and not make this is something it's not. I like having Andrex around - he at least adds some other flavour so let's just reel it back in a bit.
Andrex, it's down to you who you want to trust. The NPD numbers is something entirely different, they are *extremely* vigilant and this forum is totally open. NPD knows about it (because they watch GAF like a hawk), and specific numbers posted here aren't exactly guaranteed to stay here. All it takes is one slip-up and my source gets pinched and then not only am I the shithead but my friend's job is in serious danger. I guess I could say nothing, not even give vague hints. Would you prefer that?
Now, as to dcharlie. You have no reason to trust him, that much is true. He does go into fantard mode pretty often and when he does, information certainly goes through a dc filter. But the original information he's putting through his filter? It's not made up. This isn't even me just trusting a guy I know on the internet. I have supped and drank with dcharlie in the presence of industry people, and although I'm super inaka and can't often make it to those things, there is a large group of people (in and around Tokyo) who regularly meet for shooting the shit and having good times, and it includes quite a few names that would bake your biscuit. Some of them are other posters here on the Bore, even.
Now, again, maybe you think if he can't say everything, then he should say nothing. Maybe that's the case, I dunno. But at the very least, you have to understand why he can't say everything. I know that's ridiculously frustrating and maybe doesn't make sense to you, but if you can't trust dcharlie, then let me vouch for him. If you can't trust me, then I can't help you out. But I'm sure you realize I wouldn't vouch for dcharlie falsely trolling Nintendo. I call him out all the time on it when he's being a derp.
And even without the insider card, as dcharlie pointed out, it's easy to see some 3DS projects got canceled, and I wouldn't be surprised to see some of them surface on Vita. Of course, if Vita keeps dragging its ass on the carpet, some of them might get bounced back or canned altogether.
Screw that stupid Waifu Cooking sim. Gust should grow some balls and make a game where they aren't pandering to basement dwellers. People tell me their games are supposedly good but I don't buy them due to the "Uguuuu" factor. If they're so good they should at least be able to leverage their perv cred into making a game I wouldn't be afraid to play with in front of other people.
Compile Heart games look gross too, and apparently they make bad games so the people who do buy them are on like LovePlus level with me.
Also, I might be drinking.

The developer said he wants BioShock for the PS Vita to be "unique" and "an experiment that's a little different." He also explained that the studio is considering outsourcing the PS Vita version to another developer, but said he is wary about handing control of its IP off to someone else.
Yeah, it's starting to get the smell of Elder Scrolls Travels about it, but we'll see. I don't really think it's an important title for anyone involved, anyway.

That game actually had screenshots and seemed to exist in some form. Bioshock on Vita seems to exist in the same realm as Resident Evil Portable, which is to say it doesn't.

Unless it's a double-super-secret they were keeping from some pretty high up Capcom people, that's not true. Neither is Andrex's, even though it sounds very plausible.
To me, it's pretty obvious that after the several software flops Capcom had, and the stunning success of Monster Hunter, that Capcom decided to plant their seeds where the best shit was growing. The state of RE during the PSP's life wasn't exactly what I'd call organized, either.

I thought CVXfreak on gaf confirmed that RE 3DS is what became of RE PSP which was in development all these years. Unless he was doing that to troll people or something.

Though it would be great if Falcom did native res / "HD" version for Vita. That's happening with Zero no Kiseki.
I thought Patapon on internally developed. Huh.

nah, it would have taken at least three years longer to make if it were internal
Afaik Patapon was done by a small japanese company called Pyramid. I hear they are relatively cool to work for and use a lot of good Western coding practices.
Yeah, for some reason in my gut I find it unlikely Rev was originally for PSP. Dunno why.

Oh the stories I could tell you
Just what the Vita needs right now, another fighting game. ;)
Portables don't tend to be used for competitive multiplayer, they're more of single player machines so it'd be nice if we started getting some single player games.
Still, it seems like a good port outside the GBA graphics. I can't believe people are bringing up Tekken on 3DS in comparison. Tekken looks like a GBA game too! Tekken on PSP >> 3DS, but then 95% of PSP games have better graphics than the current 3DS library, so that's not surprising.

if it runs at 60 fps who cares
ostensibly, what most japanese game dev houses perform COULD be called "coding" in that they produce code
what happens to it after that is madness
i received a makefile from one of our japanese partners, and MY GOD IT'S FULL OF STARS
also i'm not sure what the japanese term for "source enlistment" is, but i'm sure it means "public file share on the admin's aging Dell"; likewise, the corresponding phrase for "code integration process" is "show up to work at 2am with a usb drive, drink a LOT of asahi and pray"
that they produce modern* game software at all is a MIRACLE
*ha ha, idea factory
The character models in MK are pretty embarrassingly low-poly for what the Vita can do, though. I mean, game looks fine in motion and all, but considering what the Vita *can* do, the game shouldn't need to be using PS2-level models. I'm guessing it's just UE3 growing pains, though.
People should get used to this, tbh. The Vita *can* do lots of shit, but what it *can't* do is apparently sell HW and SW at a level where it would be feasible to put the extra money and effort.
So unless it starts selling *really* well all of a sudden, I foresee lots of downgraded visuals and PSP/3DS-like efforts, except for that yearly Sony game or two.
(I know it's too early to tell, but come on, you know it's gonna be true)
And yes, I know there is a version of it on iOS, but iOS game development is so different than handhelds/consoles it's just sort of an outlier.

You can only play games that have been purchased with the account you're currently using. Some demos aren't tied to accounts. There is a guide on NeoGAF, lets see if I can find it.

temper your expectations, jeff gerstmann is an unabashed mortal kombat fanboy
Not interested in rebuying PS3 games I wasn't interested in enough to keep playing on PS3 just because they are now portable.
temper your expectations, jeff gerstmann is an unabashed mortal kombat fanboy
Mmmmm, I skipped the console version, so I'm considering Vita's MK. I just wish there was a demo.
How substantial are the extras? because I'm sure I can get the console version for the cheap, and I'm getting into it this summer either way.
It's a fantastic port overall.
I got it early last weekend; here's my initial impressions:
-No online pass required.
-The character select screen has been altered; Skarlet, Kenshi, Rain, and Freddy are now on the bottom row instead of "hidden" to the left/right of Kratos/Cyber Sub-Zero.
-All of the characters are available from the start. Most costumes still need to be unlocked; the new costumes can be obtained in the bonus challenge tower.
-Wifi offers ranked, player, and private match types. No lobby system.
-Wifi private matches offer built-in mic support through the Vita!
-Tag mode is available online.
-Matches I have tried online have mostly been at 60fps. When I experienced lag, the game dropped to 30fps instead of freezing up or getting choppy.
-Load times are about the same as the console versions.
-This game is most definitely not running at the full Vita resolution.
-Despite the lowered amount of detail, the game still looks good in motion and runs at 60fps* during fights. No question that UMvC3 looks more impressive, however.
(*X-Ray attacks and fatalities go at 30FPS. The game immediately shifts back to 60fps once the X-Ray attack animation cycle completes)
-Background animations have been reduced, but there are still a lot of things going on. It doesn't feel lifeless.
-All of the modes and options from the console versions are intact, including:
Arcade Ladder
Tag Team Ladder
Test Your Skills (balance, slice, luck, might, sight, strike)
Story Mode
Challenge Tower
Bonus Challenge Tower (new)
Tutorial
Fatality Tutorial
Practice
Tag Team Practice
Wi-Fi Versus
Adhoc 1v1
Adhoc Tag
Krypt
Nekropolis
Kredits
Options
I spent a good amount of time with both the 360 and PS3 versions of MK last year. All of the game play is intact and the game runs great. Would definitely recommend to fans of the console versions and anyone looking for a good portable fighting game; compared to BlazBlue and UMvC3, MK is a more more "grounded" fighting game and is easier to get into than those titles. It also offers a lot more in the way of single player content, which is great for a portable game.
I have to say, I wasn't expecting such a positive reaction to Vita's MK. Then again, from what I played, I thought the material they had to work with was excellent to begin with. If I stumble on a really cheap PS3 MK, I might even consider double dipping.
for the record, by "temper your expectations" i meant that if you are just buying it to have another game on your vita, recognize that it is a mortal kombat fighting game and your enjoyment will be + or - based upon how much you are into fighting games
Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto recently made a comment about PS Vita, stating it is not a strong product due to the lack of compelling software. "It's obviously a very high-spec machine and you can do lots of things with it, but I don't really see the combination of software and hardware that really makes a very strong product. I'm not looking at Vita as happy that it's not selling well, or scared that it would sell well -- I'm not looking at Vita in that way." Miyamoto also admitted that 3DS wasn't doing too hot at the beginning until Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land were out.
To make matters worse, Sony has no Mario Land 3D or Mario Kart 7 to pull the Vita out of the shit. At one time, you could maybe say Gran Turismo but that series has been on a decline for a while and given how it takes Polyphony 5-6 years to put out a half baked game these days, it would be too late for them to do anything anyway. Maybe Resistance will be some surprise breakout hit.
Realistically Sony is going to have to depend on third party support that seems increasingly less likely as the days go on. An emergency price drop of at least $50 plus a memory card should be in order. If that doesn't work, kill the Vita off sometime around the launch of the PS4.
Vita is getting a new Hatsune Miku game + white color Vita to launch with it in August.
On its own this doesn't mean much. Maybe a 30-50k bump in hardware for a week.
But if Vita starts getting more titles like this in August/September/Oct, this is exactly what it needs to revive in Japan. If other companies announce August titles, we might be looking at a "let's sweep the Vita under the rug and run a re-launch campaign" situation.

And if they want to do sub-PS2 visuals they can make a 3DS game.
Soul Sacrifice sounds crazy. It also sounds niche as fuck. I know SCEJ's mandate is throw whatever at the wall and see what sticks but for some reason I'm getting shades of the LocoRoco disaster here...
Nomura had an interesting comment though when asked about the future of Kingdom Hearts and Vita. He basically said "If we're going to put a ton of effort into making an PS3 quality game for Vita (and c'mon Japanese PS3 quality standards are pretty low for a lot of companies [we're talking about PS2 HD])....why would we release it on Vita and not the PS3? The PS3 audience is bigger and those kind of games will appeal more to that audience."
It's a good point. If a Japanese dev is going to make the effort to make a game that has above PS2 visuals, there is no incentive to not release it as a PS3 game. And if they want to do sub-PS2 visuals they can make a 3DS game. It does put Vita in a tough spot.
It would be nice if they at least made Vita versions of PS3 games and Vita versions of 3DS games, so that if you do want to play these games on the go (PS3 games) you can, and if you want a superior version to 3DS version (3DS games) you can play those.

I don't think it's a wacky out-there attempt to see what works but more of a deliberate attempt to target a particular audience - based on (what I think is) a misreading of that audience.
Anyway, this being a Marvelous/Inafune joint should stop anybody from getting their hopes up, but of course we know it won't.Nomura had an interesting comment though when asked about the future of Kingdom Hearts and Vita.

The Worst Person In The Universe says that the Vita is a pointless waste of time - something anybody with a lick of sense already knew - so now Bebpo sees the sense in it.
And Nomura made one of the only games worth buying a 3DS for so you should stop insulting Nomura-sama.
Inafune is an idiot who has yet to prove he can actually do anything on his own without stealing credit for other people's work, and the SH team is definitely not intact.
I'm not saying this will be bad. Only that it probably will be.
Shadow Hearts team has split from the hive apparently.
And Nomura made one of the only games worth buying a 3DS for so you should stop insulting Nomura-sama.
This is like me saying Toriyama creates Dragon Quest games.
Speaking of which, SCEJ so totally needs to make an Oda designed DQ clone. :lol
Takao. You don't know what you're talking about. Nomura isn't just the artist for KH. He directed KH1&2, wrote the actual script for 358/2 days, and has been heavily involved in creating the storylines, gameplay systems, and game design of every single KH title to date. KH is his baby and he is responsible for the quality of all the KH titles. He was also heavily involved in TWEWY.
Why do you think Versus XIII has made no progress
And while the team futzes around, where do you think Nomura is?
And while the team futzes around, where do you think Nomura is?
hint: it's a series that keeps making new games
When a player dies, the remaining players vote whether to sacrifice him or not.:lol
It has online multiplayer so that makes it not MH by default.
It's 30 fps, and some backgrounds that are supposed to move are static, but otherwise it's a pretty awesome port. I think the DLC is shared with the PS3 version if you own it there already, otherwise, you gotta shell out all over again.

I'll pick up Rayman, maybe Lumines, and the Prince of Persia game based on the movie (it's a 2.5D platformer IIRC).
I'll probably pick up Rayman Vita.
In other news, the wait for better PSP and Mini compatibility, as well as PS1 support, is starting to piss me off. I've got a shitload of PS+ freebies that are just sitting around.
when is this magical event happening, they're all still full price on my psn
Mortal Kombat is another one I'm thinking about for the future. I never got around to the console version but enjoyed the demo and heard nothing but positive talk.
and it'd be great of Sega puts VF5fs on it. I'd actually double dip for that one.

Tuesday. Which should also be the day that PSP compatibility is updated. Pixel Junk Monsters Deluxe becomes PSP compatible on that day, hopefully signaling more to come.
I'm about halfway through my launch games now. So far I'd rank the ones that I've finished:
Uncharted > Hot Shots > Wipeout > Escape Plan > Tales from Space > Katamari

No Drac X Chronicles no sale. :punch
Vita, why do you exist :(
I wonder if there's any way to get Scamco to lower the prices on their games. Tekken 6 and Soul Calibur are going to be 3 years old this year and are still $40 on PSN.
Regarding Rayman Origins, I’m afraid this sale was pending at the time of the blog publish and is not moving forward. I can’t confirm whether this is still coming, but the Store team is working on a great deal.
Dracula X Chronicles is on the North American Vita Store isn't it? I swear it was.
Drac X has been compatible through PS3 transfer since day 1.
So were most of the PSP games added today.
Japan is just going through a transition phase right now, so there aren't many big games coming anywhere. It's really evident when you look at the upcoming release list for PS3/3DS/Vita/PSP over then next 3-4 months and it's a wasteland. You have hidden projects that are companies' first major 3DS/Vita games under wraps, and hidden projects which are companies' first major PS4/X720 games under wraps, and so the current known slates are getting empty.
In a year or two stuff will probably get rolling out consistently again in the land of the rising sun. 2012 is a good year to work on your backlog, which is what I'm doing!
I just took this screenshot:huuuuuuh. Could always just grab it off a friend's PS3 since I dun have one of my own if worst comes to worst and it's not like I can get a Vita anytime soon anyway~

Takao reality distortion field in full effect dude.
Shitty friends were playable in the first game.
My fear is that it's going to be both tired/safe AND not as well-designed as the previous titles due to Sanzaru's complete inexperience.
I hope I'm wrong, I loved 2/3 of the Sly games, but I already felt the game was looking shaky, and hearing they're splitting their meager talents across two platforms for simultaneous release isn't exactly helping me feel better.

Stop fucking saying this :maf
Resistance's probably going to be trash.
The Vita is behaving a lot more like a Nintendo system in terms of its post-launch. Extremely dry because publishers were cagey on its success and played wait-and-see.
The PSP started out weak, too. Vita has a better batch of games to play in comparison. There's also Resistance, Gravity Rush, and MGS Collection coming in the next few weeks. After that things are slim pickings...and that's where E3 should hopefully revitalize things.
I mean, maybe there wasn't as much for you with the PSP's first stretch, but it's pretty much factually incorrect that the PSP started out similarly weak.
By "flowed very well throughout the first year", I meant the first six months, too.
And I think the "Vita is dead" cries are more coming from it selling sub-Dreamcast numbers of hardware and software.
DC had a strong US launch? I wouldn't have guessed that.
Dreamcast was kind of a big deal. For a few months.
You don't remember the DC launch?
you are, without a doubt, the worst poster on this forum
You don't remember the DC launch?
Too busy playing Pokemon and watching Pokemon.
Yep, it did really well until Sony started up the PS2 hype machine.
Yep, the first two or three months were like a rocket, then... splat. The drop on that system was unprecedented and we've never seen anything like it since. It was like all the enthusiasm for it died suddenly overnight.
You don't remember the DC launch?

I was starting my freshman year of college when the DC launched...
:fbm
Never had or was interesting in a Sega system. The DC (launch) went by without me noticing

That more or less happens with every system launch though, magoose.
heh, the PSP's 4th best selling game of all time in NA came out a month or so after launch. Midnight Club. Lots of mediocre releases, too, but aside from those, there was an ATV Off-Road Fury game and NBA Street. I think the most important difference, though, is that something was coming out every week, even if it was something lame like Dead to Rights or so-so like Archer McLean's Mercury. Publishers were a lot more interested in it and it showed.
and while Borys may not be directly thinking about comparisons to the DC, he sure is clapping like a happy seal when he sees the Vita sell 6k in Japan in a week.
I just love to ruffle those sfags feathers here. Don't really know why :P Vita is a great machine but it has one of the most obnoxious and loud (Vita version plz?!?) fanbases around.
Also I want it to drop below 5k just to see the reactions.

You and Oscar do! :lol
wtf
Don't you guys have money ???
You would think you would want it to succeed so that it actually has a game library you can play on it in the future instead of just being a "I bought it for $100" doorstop.
$250 system with 500 games and maybe 50 AAA quality titles.
vs
$100 system with 100 games and maybe 10 AAA quality titles.
Seems like the first is the better value.
Jet Set Radio HD is the next port coming to Vita. Uses touch for graffiti in some way.
Jet Set Radio is coming to Vita. That's pretty fuckin cool
Is that the good Jet Set Radio game?
Hint: maybe those games are shit.
Holy f, how did they manage to fuck resistance up that much.
there's no MP in Resistance? why the fuck did i buy this
i think we've all played any number of 2/10 games in our time, you can look at the gameplay videos and tell it's not THAT bad
2/10 implies that it's fundamentally broken in some way, and even in the review he says that control-wise it's solid
As the world's first portable twin-stick FPS, Burning Skies had a golden opportunity to set a benchmark for handheld gaming.
Instead, it settled on being the new worst Vita game to date.
Touch controls have been forced in wherever possible, but unlike Unit 13's smart use of the screens, Burning Skies doesn't take player comfort into account.
Things get worse toward the end, where it begins to look like the developers just stopped caring. The closing sections are happy to just keep throwing the player into big rooms without cover and spawning larger numbers of Chimera in a rather embarrassing attempt to manufacture a sense of challenge. The last level in particular straddles the line between exasperating and tiresome, culminating in one of the most insipid and pointless boss encounters I've witnessed in quite some time. Game design doesn't get more basic and uninspiring than Burning Skies.
The disappointing campaign could be forgiven if the multiplayer was any good, but once again, it feels like a lifeless shadow of its console brethren. The basics are in place -- three game modes (deathmatch, team deathmatch, and infection), with up to three customizable loadouts and a compulsory experience system -- but basics are where the game begins and ends. Once you get into a match, you're forced to fight in confined, visually unstimulating, ill designed maps, where no care was taken into setting sensible spawn points or providing anything other than a series of rooms in which bored people can shoot at each other.
The online experience is laggy, with a framerate that makes everything feel like it's in slow motion, and scoreboards don't work properly (in one match, the enemy team kept showing up as having zero points, when in fact it was winning). I once died thrice in a row, collapsing dead to the ground as soon as I spawned, with the same player shown as having killed me and no indication as to how. Another time, players were frozen in place, and there have already been problems with people getting booted out of a session.
As far as presentation goes, in both the campaign and multiplayer, Resistance: Burning Skies feels unfinished. Severely unfinished. Don't believe the screenshots attached to this review -- this is an ugly game, and it doesn't look anywhere near as good as several of the Vita's launch titles (tellingly, this game blocks the Vita's screen capture software).
Compared to a game like Uncharted: Golden Abyss, the graphics found here are despicable and embarrassing.
Even worse are those moments where it's just obvious that a feature was left blatantly incomplete. From the mouths of NPCs not moving to environments displaying hideous artifacts along edges and corners, there's a lot missing in Burning Skies that you usually only see left out of obscure budget games. You can sprint, but after a while Riley will stop dead in his tracks. He won't return to a walking pace, he won't slow down before needing a breather, he will literally just stop dead in his tracks and you'll have to take your finger off the stick in order to move him again, since absolutely nothing was added to portray a loss of stamina.
In multiplayer, there is no animation or sound effect for melee kills. If you're killed by a melee attack, you'll abruptly die in silence, and it actually took me a few deaths to work out why I kept falling over for no reason. When enemies die, their frozen corpses will slowly glide along the floor before suddenly and sharply disappearing. Cutscenes play at the start of every level and cannot be skipped, even if you're replaying a stage or loading from a checkpoint halfway through, and they're compressed to a disgusting degree. In short, the whole thing feels like some sort of pre-alpha build mistakenly released as a real game.
It is visually atrocious, interactively vapid and incomplete to a degree that a full retail price is an insult. It's tempting to buy this just to have something new on the system, but good things come to those that wait, and it's hard to imagine anything not being good compared to this mess.
- unskippable cut scenes
- I can't get the rear touch sprint working correctly to save my ass. It works less than 10% of the time, you have to hit it JUST right for it to trigger. Much easier and less frustrating to just use down on the D-pad. I know it's not the touch pad, I checked it with other games. Seems like it was a neat idea implemented in a half-assed way.
- still having multiplayer connection problems
Investigating PSN connection issues that folks are having #burningskies & apologize these were't discovered pre-release. More info to follow
it's just really, really well-suited to the system
came in shrugging, left impressed
i dunno if i'd say entirely fixed, but i never once yelled out "that's bullshit!" while playing, and when i played the console versions i used to regularly scream it out like a tourette's
hmm
what is the word i am looking for here...
"tighter"
everything feels tighter and more responsive
Resistance demo is really long. I started to worry that I bought the full game by accident :-\

Nihilistic working hard to make the game suck!
Isnt some other game out this year?I'm getting Gravity Rush in 12 days and both The Pinball Arcade and Zen Pinball 2 should be released soon. For the rest of the year there's DJMax Technika Tune, Persona 4: The Golden, New Little King's Story, Sound Shapes, Ragnarok Odyssey, Dokuro, and Orgarhythm. I'm hoping a few more games like maybe Killzone and the Final Fantasy X remake will make it this year. Overall I'll probably spend more time playing PSP titles on my Vita.

loved the Gravity Rush demo
"sub-native res" seems to be the standard. Kinda like with the PS3 and 360 too lololol.
•Its out same day as AC3 (oct30)
•Location is New Orleans
•Female assassin named Aveline
•Looks like same time period as AC3
•ubisoft sofia is devolping
•takes place during 1765-1780 in the period between the end of the french and indian war
•one of the bullet points is that it's "true AC gameplay"
•will not connect to desmond
•will have "multiplayer specifically tailored to the vita experience"
•"the game has been released as a propaganda tool by Abstergo,who want players to experience a gray area of the Assassin/Templar conflict as an assassin rather than a templar"
•Aveline's mentor is an escaped slave named Agate,leader of the assassins in New Orleans
•Wildlife like alligators "wait on the banks of the swamp or hide beneath murky waters"
she's of mixed heritage french/black
•Liberation will also take players across the Gulf into Mexico"
•Game will take place in "Large gameplay areas,you can run,climb,fight,and explore the entirety of New Orleans without loading a new area."
Sounds kind of good.
Hard to believe it's true. Good things don't happen to the Vita. Especially from Western publishers.
•will not connect to desmond
holy fuck that sounds awesome. want more than ac3. pc port please!!
you should've bought monkey ball
I think it's some kind of sim, but since it has an alchemy system it might be worth playing. Here are some screenshots. (http://andriasang.com/objncj/surge_concerto_ciel_nosurge/images/)

glad sony didn't just run into this thing without a new plan.

R-yNNEjLhIgI think EDF2 was ported to regular ass PSP in Japan? Putting 2017 on Vita makes sense since it was a 360 game initially and nobody in Japan has a 360.
this is another one of those times where I'd prefer EDF2 in HD and smooth frame rate over porting the 360 game. also because EDF2 is better than EDF2017. or they could just add pale wing and make it better.
also, reports of 60fps MGS HD collection were false. Seems like both aren't native res, MGS3 is 30fps, and MGS2 jumps between 30 and 60fps depending on the scene (VR missions are 60 fps).
I wonder why the first EDF was never ported to anything. Did it not support multiplayer or something?

And this happened because it wasn't worth spending Bluepoint money on some Vita game, so they got a less experienced studio to port them.
No one puts money into Vita software :|

Ys Vita is out September 27th in Japan. Don't think Xseed mentioning any plans to localize it. Ys 7 came out about a year after the Japanese release and Oath was a few months.
Last time they showed the game was close to a year ago. I thought it'd be canceled and moved to PSP/3DS.
Oh was hoping I get free 2048. Been meaning to buy it anyways guess I should get on that or try to swap Hot Shots for it or somethin.
So how's Gravity Rush? I haven't popped it in yet.
it used to be my favorite series and everything but when I tried to replay it on both PS3 and 3DS in the collections and remake I couldn't convince myself to sit through 20 minutes of codec talking anymore and wondered why I ever thought they where cool or fun
So how's Gravity Rush? I haven't popped it in yet.
Doesn't the Vita port use the revised control scheme like the subsistence editions?
Wipeout is Pretty sick in theory, assuming you can get not the vita controls...something I haven't quite done yet. :/
Maybe if Sony stops treating it like the red headed step child and like an actual product, I will get a vita. It all depends on the next few months and what games are announced for the system. I'm not like you people who buy 300 dollar systems with no games and then bitch where the games are at. I've only done that once and with the Wii.

Didn't most of us who bought this thing at launch end up with a nice chunk of games, from just the launch alone? I currently have 13 games. It's still a better system than the 3DS in my book.

You buy like every shitty game though.
i mean, i get you're just listing the games you own, dc, but you really ought to edit lists like that - if you won't do it for your own dignity, think of your son. he's going to grow up and someday read that his dad bought michael jackson, mahjong, and little deviants. and he's going to ask you about them. and what are you going to say with those pleading, hopeful eyes looking at you, dc? how will you preserve the integrity of the family name?

RE: Metal Gear HD Collection
SUBJECT: Terrible Camera Angles in Japanese Games
MESSAGE:
WTF
*END OF MESSAGE*
I wonder if it's even possible to make an analog stick on a handheld that doesn't suck or get in the way.
i remember really well among the blanket of praise for MGS2 upon its release there was the start of grumbling about the camera/controls. that grumbling got pretty loud with MGS3, which is probably why they started experimenting with the camera a bit in subsistence.
That seems quite brief for Tim.

Pale wing in edf3/2017 is great. That was my complaint with the 360 version after EDF2.
Who published EDF2017 and is there a chance they'll bring this one over?
Vita has , basically, been delayed until back end of 2013
and/or canned
Mortal Kombat is pretty fun. Story mode is handled really well.
People both over and under exaggerate about the graphics. Alone the graphics good enough; combat is fast and smooth enough that you can't notice it. But playing story mode it keeps jumping between prerendered scenes with the console assets and the Vita version and there's a very noticeable downgrade there.
I haven't played the story mode yet, but the game looks fine until you execute an X-Ray or a Fatality, then it's pretty jarring. The models up-close look like something out of a PSP game. I dislike the look so much that I started avoiding performing them.
Thread depresses me each time it is bumped.
At least when the Dreamcast died it was pure fun until the lights went out. Vita is like a funeral process that takes several years to complete.

At GAF, some people said that the fatalities were so realistic and disgusting that they nearly threw up. :teehee
Thread depresses me each time it is bumped.Can't you read Japanese? There are quite a few upcoming or recent games I'm interested in from Japan . Unfortunately, many of them aren't going to get a translation and those who are might take a while.

Oh man, Falcom may return to PC gaming and start supporting the 3DS? Well, there goes the one thing I was interested in on Vita.

FWIW, Gungnir and Unchained Blades now work on the Vita using PS3 transfer.
FWIW, Gungnir and Unchained Blades now work on the Vita using PS3 transfer.
Ooh, buying Gungnir!!
Edit: Wait, has anyone here tried it? Reviews are kinda harsh, so I want a second opinion.
is Unchained any good?
just wait until you’ve spent an hour whittling down enemy forces…only to be stricken with instadeath because some random knight happened to knock the mighty Gungnir-wielding Giulio offscreen.
I twice found myself replaying the mission because of the computer killing my Ace by knocking them into water and off the map.
since i got really bored of unchained blades,i've been trying gungnir,stop me if you heared this,an evil empire called menacing empire name holds in subjugation the land of fantasy name but a group of rebels called heroic rebel group name has decided they had enough and decide to kick the empire ass,but before that the hero meet a mysterious girl called bland name and discovers he has the power of mcguffin name
man SRPG adlib is no fun i tell ya
so anyway being a sting game this game is full of weird rules and such which is what makes it interessing in the first place,there are a lot of gimmicks in this game,these include
1. character don't have stats,when they level up instead their carrying capacity gets bigger,which let's them hold more powerfull items,items give a character all their stats and skills
2. death is sort of permanent sort of not,it works like this,if a character gets finished by a really strong attack,then he's dead and you can't use him in battle's anymore,but if he gets killed by scrappy damage he retreats and you can field him the next battle with an HP penality,with enemies if they retreat you get a random item from them but if you kill them you can choice which one you want
3. there is a job system but there are no skills,each job just gets to hold different items,tough i fear this is going to make some jobs too similiar
4. each time you move,you gain tactics point,these points can be used to execute team attacks or activate special skills,but if you hold them some weapon get stronger so you have to balance it out,this also making holding out your position a bad idea as you constantly want to move around
5. at the start of each battle,you need to declare a commander,different commanders use different unit betters so say the hero is good at using archers while his brother is good at using knights,the commanders you can pick are fixed so there are some missions where you can't pick the hero and as such you need to balance your team
6. when you give a character a weapon he initialy suck at using it,but as you keep using it,it's attack power improve and when you have used it enough you can unlock additional attack which comes with area attacks,more damage and status effect
7. each attack has a number between 1 and 4,and each character also has a number and as such if a character keep using an attack with which he's matched,he'll gain some bonus like "improved chance of dealing status effect" or "more damage" and such,the number also dictates if your character can counterattack or not,as you can only counterattack if your pair of shoes and the attack number matches
8. spread over the map there are base's,holding more bases let you hold more tactics point,better yet it gives you more range when it comes into executing team attacks
9. each character also has an element,this is dictates by his initial element's,his equipment and mostly amusing the terrain where he's standing,so if you go into water there's a chance you'll automaticaly turn from neutral to water or from fire to neutral
10. there is an ATB a-la final fantasy tactics (game also takes the idea of spell charging from final fantasy tactics and as such is it possible to get out of the way before a spell goes off) but it works with it's own spin,you see when your turn comes you can use ANY character so if you want you can even solo the whole map with a single character,the catch is that after you use a character he has to cool down for a few unit of times,if you use his turn again before he cool's down,his max hp get a penality like if he retreated
11. another amusing way in which it breaks FFT,you can jump down from a height higher than your jump rating but if you do so,you hurt yourself and lose your turn
12. speaking of unit of times,you can instantly call your turn by spending tactics point = how much you had to wait+2
13. there are no job change,if you want new unit you go in a mercenary guild and simply throw money at it,if you want a unit in particular you can get it by wasting one of your weapons otherwise what you get it's random and you get a penality too if you don't find anything you want,so for example if you want an archer you can pay 10,000 gold and waste a bow
and uh... i don't think i'm missing anything,the cutscene too feels a little inspired by final fantasy tactics,i think it's the background that do it for me,i mean watch
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TQL0cZ-_gU&feature=related#t=4m58s
i'm really liking gungnir,which is weird because i usualy hate SRPG,there is so much shit going on,everytime there is a new battle i spend like 5 minutes just thinking into how i can reshape my party,and the best part is that since there are no character stat and everything is decided by the item you hold,i can just introduce a new character in my party without any grinding effort
the AI is a little bit dumb tough,i blocked a bridge with a knight and the AI just stood there dumbfounded while i was nuking it's unit with spells
a while ago i had 2 classes that both used daggers one were the assassin's and the other were the tricksters and as such i had no idea why there were two of them,well it turns out that trickster have special access to dagger which let them place traps around so it's another element added to the game
the weapons have tons of special effect too,right now i got a claw that make an enemy physical defense skyrockets but it 0% their magic defense,i guess this can be abused in a map where the enemy has a huge defense or such
moar gungnir! one of the stage is an assault at a castle,the stage begins with a pretty powerfull boss unit starting near you who attacks you first,on top of the castle there are 2 succubus who just chills out,but as soon as night comes they swoop down from the castle and start charming your guys so you have to beat the boss before the succubus come or else you are screwed!
the next stage has a pretty fun gimmick too,the whole thing happens on a chasm and most enemy unit have attack that knockback you,but if a unit get knocked into the chasm,he falls down below and die instantly,i got knockback attack from the previous stage and i made a massacre simply by pushing people into death and abusing scramble (the ability to call your turn without waiting it to come around) when you push someone into a chasm the game declares "GO TO HELL!" :lol
What are these games? When were they even released?!

LBP Vita Sept 25 release date
Eel, are you going to be able to talk about the beta at some point?
I'm sure Sony is heartened to know that all they need to turn things around in a single region is an out-of-nowhere cultural phenomenon that ends up being the best selling third party game of all time. That kind of shit is *always* happening.
Carmack mentioned the Vita in his keynote! Something along the lines of "It might be fun to make some idTech4 games for the Vita, but mehhhhhhhh."
His Zenny overlords definitely won't let him do that. I can't wait until the day his bosses pull the chain HARD so he can realize what a dope he was to sell.
I don't know why Sony hasn't gotten EA to do cross play features in their games. Apparently Criterion is doing it with Need for Speed Most Wanted but I kind of suspect that's not a game people are going to buy both SKUs to play.
The beast just agreed that the PS3 version plays better. Where's your god now, Takao?
Anyone have the vita version of mortal kombat, I'm having some major issues with the controls and responses
Drinkbox Studios will be attending this year's PAX Prime festivities in Seattle at the end of this month, and while it's there the developer will be showing off one of the benefits of Guacamelee's PlayStation 3/Vita exclusivity.
"We're integrating the Vita as a PS3 controller for Guacamelee, utilizing the Vita screen for a mini-map, and hopefully more," Drinkbox's Chris McQuinn told Joystiq. "Does this sound like a next-gen console you've heard of perhaps? As far as we know, we're the first game doing this."
PAX Prime attendees, however, won't need a transmedia map on a $250 handheld to find Guacamelee on the show floor: Juicebox will be setting up shop inside the Indie Megabooth, which will be discernible from other, mainstream booths due to its abundance of pixel art and stylish, easily accessible development teams.

Call of Duty vita is a nihilistic joint
:rofl
I know the sales figures of the Vita in a large UK retailer so far this year.Dat Sony brand power. Vita is completely dead, anyone with any sense would sell theirs now whilst it still has some value. It's a shame it wasn't the 3DS in its place though.

Holy shit, graphically that COD game looks way worse than Resistance Retribution (which I thought was...okay for what it was). They can't mean 4-player local wi-fi. Without online, why even fucking bother? Looks like a giant turd all around, expect to see it downported (obviously not by much) to 3DS shortly. That Killzone game looks like it has 10x the production value already.
And then there's Ys, right?spoiler (click to show/hide):'([close]

It's not a port but rather a new game. Never doubt how low Nihilistic can go.

Never thought I'd be placing Treyarch in this side of the equation, but Nihilistic aren't fit to shine Treyarch's shoes, so I wouldn't use the Wii versions as a sign of hope here. I'll be surprised if this sells as well as n-space's DS CoDs, even.
I don't think it's a port of BLOPS 1
Does that cross-buy stuff apply to retail copies or just PSN?

Man, he already beat that two years ago by charging more for the same hardware but with the inability to play the physical media the games were pressed on. Fuckin' Nintendo, copying again, and *still* half-assing it.

Sony acknowledged mistakes in marketing the PlayStation Vita as said by Sony PlayStation Germany Chief Uwe Bassendowski at gamescom.
The most important mistake was to lose sight of the younger audience, a mistake they want to make right again. According to Bassendowski they want to change the direction of PS Vita marketing to focus on a younger audience and they want to improve their presence in corresponding media.
Furthermore Bassendowski confirmed that 2.2 million device have been sold worldwide. Specific numbers for Germany were not given.

Vita :violin
Bork, I know you're running defence pretty hard for this lame duck, but that is literally the slowest selling system since the Virtual Boy and one of the slowest selling major hardware releases of all-time.
LOL, what marketing? Sony handled the Vita launch like one would handle lighting a bag of dog shit on someone's porch.
Not to mention the snub at E3, in spite of nearly a couple of dozen Vita games on the floor from third parties.
I know Sony could fuck up a cup of coffee but if I were a Vita owner, I'd be pissed at how Sony basically abandoned this machine before it had a chance.
I don't give a shit about sales of the console. I am having an absolute blast with my vita. I have over 15 games for it and the upcoming games are going to be amazing. Yeah it will never have Pokemon or Mario but I don't give a toss. I am over those franchises which I played when I was a little kid. The vita is an incredible piece of tech and is without a doubt worth the price right now. Stop comparing it to the 3ds and how cheap it is and "Teh memory card is too expensive so are teh fools"
It is like comparing the wii to the ps3...exactly.
I honestly taught when I made Neogaf my main forum that I would never read this rubbish again. Yeah the sales are shite, but it is not even out a year!
Some of ye guys should work for Sony because ye know how to magically fix the problem.
Need i remind ye all of when Sony announced the price of the Vita at last years E3. There was tremendous applause and everyone on the internet said well done to Sony. Then the gods gift to gaming that is Nintendo got scared and reduced the price of their handheld and sony became the idiots...SMH
I don't know how any sane person can be optimistic on the Vita's chances in any region. Sony's even coming out and saying they're having a really difficult time getting third parties to take chances on it. If Sony are actually admitting that, the reality's got to be pretty dire. What's worse, Vita isn't even close to being the biggest problem on Sony's plate, so it's truly likely to be left to wither while more pressing concerns are addressed.
I don't think it's insane to wait and see how things are in a year's time.

it's a product most didn't want in the first place. a year from now even more people will own smartphones, and 99.9% of those people are not gonna have any desire to get their gaming fix through an additional portable device that costs hundreds of dollars. r.i.p. vita

If that were the case, then the 3DS would have also completely bombed and the PSP wouldn't still be selling in Japan.
Smatphones have a while to catch up. The graphically intensive games drain the battery in a matter of minutes. I have to play tethered if I want to play shit like Infinity Blade, etc.
If you're satisfied with flash games like Angry Birds, more power to you. I want some meat, just like my men.

There's no PS Vita version of Platinum Games hack and slash Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance because Sony's handheld can't cope with one of its key mechanics.
The spin-off, which stars cyborg ninja Raiden, has a free cutting system that lets players slice and dice enemies any way they see fit - and it's this mechanic Vita can't cope with.
"As of now we aren't considering a Vita version," Kojima Productions creative producer Yuji Korekado told Eurogamer at Gamescom. "The reason is one of the main appeals of Metal Gear Rising is this option of the free cut. That requires a lot of hardware power, which is only possible with the power of a PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360.
It's not really a surprise though. Platinum's engine isn't exactly top of the line, and the game itself was never announced for Vita. It's probably likely that Rising could run on Vita, but Platinum ain't gonna care if they can't even get a PC version done.

Don't understand where that came from. Who said the game was for Vita? ???
Would rather see Bayonetta ported (to make up for the AWFUL PS3 Sega-shit port) and/or Max Anarchy. The latter with cross-play would be awesome.
DS sales were pretty crap until the Lite came out.

As predicted. Wipeout, Uncharted and Gravity Rush will all make the jump too. Next year, 2014 at the absolute latest.
nah, i think all of gravity rushes touch controls could be pretty easily mapped to the shoulder buttons. none of it feels necessary
It was originally designed to be a PS3 game but was switched midway through development. I'm sure they will get it to work.nah, i think all of gravity rushes touch controls could be pretty easily mapped to the shoulder buttons. none of it feels necessary
Sure...but it plays much better with the gyro stuff. You don't have to use the gyro controls in the Vita version either- it just feels like the game was designed to work with them.
Uncharted would be a plus on PS3, but it would have to be released as a low-priced downloadable title. :p

The excitement...elsewhere over some PS1 game support is head-scratching.
But you know what? A co-worker started bringing her PSP to work every day and she plays Legend Of Dragoon on it. She said that she wants a Vita because it has two analog sticks for PS1 games, so what do I know? :P
I've been doing the Popstation thing for years, don't understand why people are excited for this
"You can load homebrews but it is physically and technically impossible to load ISOs/backups/pirated content/roms since we don’t have kernel access. In addition those stuff are encrypted and we also need kernel access to even think about decrypting."
Good news for Vita if true.
He's right. He's absolutely right. I mean, as we all know, once the PSP was hacked, the platform TOTALLY DIED. No more games were released for it after 2005.
.....
Oh, wait.
I mean, let's be honest, the Vita has nothing to lose at this point. Hacking it will kill sales? You can't kill what's already dead.

Is he right?
Is Jim Sterling ever right? No.
Sony's marketing VP for handhelds and consoles John Koller admits that PS Vita's message of "console-like games on portables" is essentially the same as PSP's, but argues that there was a significant problem with how developers approached that idea before.
"The issue that happened with PSP is we got overrun with ports," he explains to Gamasutra. "It became very difficult for us to define what made PSP unique. The content development became a bit unstructured or decentralized, in that we got a lot of content that was on PlayStation 2 and got thrown over to the handheld."
Koller believes Sony learned its lesson with that problem on PSP and is actively taking steps to avoid repeating that mistake on PS Vita. He says portable content "isn't something consumers play because they've left the living room. It's something that [needs to be] unique, and defines the Vita experience."
A lot of PS Vita's early catalog has so far been made up of console ports -- which may have contributed to the troubles Sony has faced with building momentum for the system so far -- but now the company is strongly recommending against and guiding publishers away from ports.
Koller points to a couple upcoming PS Vita exclusives that are unique interpretations of popular console franchises, and says that Sony tells publishers to "Follow what Ubisoft is doing with Assassin's Creed. Follow what Activision is doing with Call of Duty."
With that approach in mind, Koller says, "The messaging is similar [between PSP and PS Vita], but I think the output is going to be quite different."
My friend recently bought a vita and called it a shit box and that sony were crooks because it wasnt backwards compatible and had no games(he likes rpgs like me).
I really dont understand the mentality of Sony sometimes. If they released a Blu-MD vita that was backwards compatible witht he psp that would have sold much more imo.

Is he right?
Is Jim Sterling ever right? No.
Except in certain cases he is in this case. The fact that Sony's 1st party titles like Wipeout 2098 (or whatever the Vita title is) has dropped in price in retail stores but hasn't dropped in price in over a month after that price-drop on PSN is absolutely ridiculous and people are gonna go with the cheaper/faster option in general. Not gonna drop your DD service's prices to be competitive with retail or have sales? People are gonna go physical. Hey, that's great and all but you may not see a dime of that cash. And hell, if people wait longer and the Vita gets cracked they may just go around Sony's carts and PSN because Sony has to be absolutely a pain in the ass in wanting to give them money.
I love the Vita hardware but the fact I can't get Uncharted: Golden Abyss digitally for less than $30 (more like $20-25 for me) right now is stupid. The fact that Wipeout Vita is $30-40 (forgetting the price currently) on PSN versus retail is stupid.
Then add in the DRM schemes and issues of having to deactivate physically in the hardware itself instead of remotely --Good luck managing your two handheld slots if your Vita dies and you have another Vita tied to that account-- into the mix and well...
Throw in proprietary memory cards that cost 2x as much as one of your games digitally for max storage space if you want to go the digital route and well....
Well, his conclusion's right. The output is going to be very different between the PSP and the Vita. But not in the way he's trying to spin, methinks.
Also, lol - the company is strongly recommending against and guiding publishers away from ports, but their own first party lineup for the rest of this year is mostly ports.

I can't fault him for thinking it's a "scam" because of having to rebuy and be at the mercy of Sony/licensors for RPG's to be put on the system but if there's one thing the Vita has, it's (some of) the PSP's back catalogue of JRPGs, the ONE thing it had as a claim to fame.
(Unless he likes WRPG's only, in which case safely ignore my point because the PSP never had any of those and the only decent WRPG on the Vita so far is that Diablo clone from Gameloft of all people)

Hey man, I may be pulling an Andrex but at least I'm being upfront about it. Unless you were laughing at the game in which case carry on.
I don't know why. I can't explain it.
But other turn-based RPGs are grind city
I *would* call Pokemon a grind in a way closer to the word's meaning outside of gamer vernacular, in that it feels dull, repetitive, and meaningless to play.
Nah, pulling an Andrex isn't suddenly becoming interested in something just because it's on your platform (if that was the case, Andrex wouldn't dislike DQ, and he really dislikes DQ), it's not being interested in further installments in a series you enjoyed just because they aren't on your platform.
I'd describe the former more as Hero of Legenditis.
Yeah, I wouldn't call Pokemon a grind in the sense that we usually use it with RPGs (which is to say, a dungeon or boss is unfairly difficult and requires you to stop progressing and fight random battles repeatedly to earn xp and/or gold). Pokemon games are pretty easy to clear without any grinding.
I *would* call Pokemon a grind in a way closer to the word's meaning outside of gamer vernacular, in that it feels dull, repetitive, and meaningless to play. And naturally, catchinemall is pretty grindy, but that's like getting 1000/1000 or a Platinum - if you choose to subject yourself to that, that's your defect. :lol
did anyone crack the mystery of why Handdregs hates all turnbased RPGs except for Nintendo's big banner turnbased handheld rpg yet?
I'm not gonna lie, I'm not a fan of AC by any means but man this game is looking great.
It's also that way because they keep, for all intents and purposes, remaking the same game again and again. From what I hear Black and White finally shook things up a little, but A) that took 13 years and B) they're right back to fucking the dog again with BW2.
It's sadly a bit of a necessary outcome. The games have considerable depth if you opt to dig for it, and they have a lot of adult fans, but the bread and butter of each installment's sales are children, so the games have to keep things appropriate for their level, which doesn't leave a lot of room to do anything interesting.

Roughly speaking, there are about ten to fifteen million other people like him, judging by sales of Pokemon vs the next highest turn-based RPG, so I have to believe there's something in the water there other than it just being Nintendo. If it were just that it's Nintendo, I'd expect him to bonar for the various Mario RPGs and Fire Emblem, and I don't think he likes those, either.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm not a fan of AC by any means but man this game is looking great.
I'm not really into the AC series but I think having a black female as a lead character is a pretty cool move. You hardly ever see black girls in games (there's Alex in Half Life but she's more blasian I think, Elena in SF3, Vanessa in VF, one of the kids in Bebe's Kids, the Williams sisters in tennis games, and uhh...)

Saban Brands confirmed on Tuesday that it has acquired the Digimon anime franchise outside of Asia. Saban noted that it will work with MarVista Entertainment to distribute the series outside of Asia. Toei Animation will handle licensing and distribution of the franchise in Asia.
Saban "will debut the newest season, Digimon Fusion," to potential broadcasters and distributors at the MIPCOM event in Cannes, France on October 8-11. Digimon Xros Wars premiered in Japan in 2010, and its follow-up Digimon Xros Wars: Toki o Kakeru Shōnen Hunter-tachi premiered last October. Neither of these television series have aired in North America yet, but Crunchyroll streamed the first series and simulcast the second series as it aired in Japan.
Saban Entertainment's Fox Family Worldwide distributed the first Digimon Adventure anime series in North America in 1999, just months after its debut in Japan.
New Video Group is slated to release the complete first season of Digimon Adventure on DVD on October 9. Twentieth Century Fox and Buena Vista Home Entertainment both previously released part of the series on DVD in 2000 and 2002, respectively.
"The Bore Vita thread: Your source for Pokemon and Digimon discussion."

That Gundam Breaker PS3/Vita thing is developed by Crafts & Meister. It's good to see them get some non-mobile work again. Maybe one day Scamco will get them to do a Super DBZ 2 ...
hey bork i got lbp if you want we can play together once i get through story mode

It looks kinda cool:
http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/bbsxk8/gundam-breaker-tgs-2012--debut-trailer--cam-
I liked Super DBZ so I might get this on either PS3 or Vita.
I thought EDF2 was fun, but EDF3 disappointed me on 360. I see they re-added the flying character but I'd rather just pass on the Vita port and see how EDF4 turns out.
When asked if he believes that third parties are missing out on an opportunity by not supporting the PlayStation Vita, Yoshida answered, "I totally believe so."
Of course, being one of PlayStation's top executives, his opinion is just slightly biased. But he openly admitted that developer apprehension towards the Vita was unexpected. "One thing that was surprising and disappointing to us was the [lower] number of third parties to come out [in support] after launch.
"...In retrospect, there are so many options for publishers now that we cannot take it for granted that our new platform would be supported by third parties, like [it would've been] many years ago."
Sony's biggest problem is that they failed to let people know that the Vita even existed. You had the Taco Bell campaign and that was it. No hype, no advertising other than that Taco Bell promotion deal, Sony just kind of dropped it off and let it fend for itself, which in a world that has iOS and to a far lesser extent Android, was an extremely stupid thing to do. Which is par for the course for Sony. That is why I question why people think PS4 is going to turn it all around: Sony has been fucking things up for six years now and even if the console is a fine piece of kit, Sony could fuck up a cup of coffee.
The Vita is being killed off by Sony's utter incompetence. When the device's manufacturer is doing its best to make sure it is dead, that hardly inspires confidence from third parties, many of whom are teetering on the brink of financial problems. Why spend a million or two on something that sells 10,000 copies?
They could have spent a billion dollars marketing the thing in the US and it wouldn't have changed the outcome.
The Vita has many problems, but problem Alpha is that it is a product for a market that does not exist. You can't market your way out of that. SCEA was handed a sure-failure product for their market. Not throwing good money after bad by marketing was probably the smartest thing they've done with the Vita.
Sony's PlayStation Vita will receive a price cut next year, according to Sony UK boss Fergal Gara.http://www.digitalspy.com/gaming/news/a409202/playstation-vita-price-cut-coming-next-year-says-sony.html
The executive confirmed at the Eurogamer Expo that a price reduction is coming in 2013, but precisely when it will be introduced is "still under discussion".
It's definitely a problem, and I don't know if Sony doesn't see how the game is played or just doesn't want to play it. Like, taking Nintendo as an example, Tokyo EAD made a 3DS game. Hey, that's the Super Mario Galaxy guys! Making a 3DS game! Awesome!
Was it the same staff as Mario Galaxy? Was it even most of the staff? I don't think so. A few key people and fill out the rest with whoever. At the end of the day, you can still say it was Tokyo EAD.
You don't have to take all of the Uncharted 2 guys and have them make an Uncharted game for the thing. But put together a smaller B-team within ND (hey, the Uncharted 3 guys are already this), have a few key people supervise, and now you can say "Yes, Naughty Dog made an Uncharted game for the Vita." That's a much more powerful symbol than "Uncharted, from the makers of those good PSP games almost nobody played!"But if we sat here picking at obvious problems in Sony's judgement, we'd be here all day. Their engineers delivered above and beyond with the Vita. More the pity the rest of the company couldn't be arsed to even half-try.
hey man i played those psp games and love them
rip syphon filter

Yeah the Syphon games on PSP were fuckin sick
It depends on how much they'd be losing with the price drop. Probably better for the system's long-term future to drop before the holidays, which is really what they should worry about if they aren't planning on writing it off next year. If they aren't considering the long-term future, then it's better to reap the holiday sales at the higher price.They're relaunching early next year with a drop to 199 and PSO2/SS/GE2 etc. Book it. In the west, a price drop with a CoD/AC or UC bundle? idk
Really? I got the impression a lot of people were in the Gabe camp when it came to that fight. Personally I was in the David camp. That's really sad about it being dead, but then again we already had a "death of gabe logan" so I can deal.
“We’re in year one, so we’ll be supporting it for some time. But yeah, it does have its own 10-year life cycle. All of our platforms do… it’s a marathon, not a sprint. We expect long-term success from all our platforms.”
Speaking of Vanillaware, is Dragon's crown still a thing?
Oboro Muramasa looks like...Oboro Muramasa.
So it looks like a mediocre game that people only cared about due to the absolute dearth of anything better?
Should be right at home on Vita.
Didn't stop people caring about the Vanillaware games on PS2. Muramasa is also probably the best thing they put out, though that's probably not saying all that much.Oboro Muramasa looks like...Oboro Muramasa.

I think it will look great on the Vita and they'll probably fix the controls too so hey.
What matters for now is that a PSP Kernel exploit, as well as a CFW relying on it, fully working on the PS Vita, was leaked 2 days ago by a “Sam Jordam” guy on Youtube (download links below).
Did anyone play the Japanese or Asian version of Ragnarok Odyssey? I watched some videos recently and it looked a lot worse than I remember the footage being.
Yup.
is this real
(http://i.imgur.com/RInPtl.jpg)
Even the ports are getting cancelled :'(
I'll review it for you despite not even playing it:
It sucks, just like every other game in the franchise since SMB2.
wow, it looks so good
Gorgeous game!
Every game from Vita's birth to Death will be sub-native it seems sadly. What the fuck was the point of releasing Vita with a screen at a resolution that games won't run at smoothly?
After playing a while last night, it looks like the single player campaign is a fully fledged "big console" campaign. Main story, side missions, collectables, weapons, inventory, pickpocketing, etc... Plenty of things to do.
The world feels alive and populated. Sometimes you'll see more than 20 civilians on screen at once, in other zones it will feel more deserted: it just feels right. It's more than people walking directionless. There are plenty of animations like dogs scratching their backs, leaves falling, dust, people working in the street. There is plenty of attention to detail.
Parcouring has many different animations, zones where you can climb, vistas, etc... I like the jump button. It is not needed when parcouring, it is used to enlarge the movements Aveline can do.
Multiplayer still not active, so i can't tell you. There are near goodies.
There are some framerate dips. For the most sensitive of you, this could be a problem. It's not for me.
The only negative for me, is the compression of audio. The OS is excellent, voices, sounds and ambiental noises are well designed, but with compression they lack punch and the whole package feels less epic. Of course, this will mostly be appreciated if you play with headphones.
Definitely a must buy.

We could have just had a screen at these 500p resolutions and it would be sharp and awesome looking. Instead we get blown-up, blurry, pixel-fest on every game and they all look like shit in IQ. I'd rather play most PSP games than Vita games just because PSP games are sharp and detailed while Vita games are blurry. Ys Seven PSP >>> Ys Celceta Vita visually imo.
absolutely NOT
i borrowed shaka's vita and i still feel like i have buyers remorse.
I went through list on GFAQS and came up with:
Persona 4
Uncharted
Little King's Story
Is there anything coming over? I am not paying to play PSXor PSP ames... I have a PSP that can play PSX already.
It's like we share a single beating heart. :heart
Just poking my head in to see if the Vita is dead yet :(Well Sho I checked at my game selling job for the fug of it and we currently have a whopping four different Vita titles in stock all of which are from launch :gloomy
The PSVita, or as I like to call it, the PSPGo Dual-Analog Edition.

If you want a Vita to play exclusive games, it isn't worth it. Can't think of many future exclusives either. Ys, Killzone and Tearaway are the few that come to mind, and I just had to use Killzone as a notable release.
It's worth it if you want to play multiplatform and PSP games on it. But you don't need a Vita to play Most Wanted or Sound Shapes or w/e.
I only own three retail games (Shinobido 2, Gravity Daze, and Zero Escape). Which, to be fair, is only one less than my 3DS, but if I'm playing my Vita, chances are I'm playing a PSP game. And a lot of the usual franchise games like LBP and Wipeout and Mario Kart and whatever are probably good, but those don't do it for me.
I dunno. Imagine there are no games coming at this point. Is it worth it?
Uncharted is a good play if you like the series
Wipeout likewise
999-2 is better on Vita
YsIVr is alright if you liked Ys Seven and will probably be localized
Time Travelers is great but I don't think they're gonna bring it over
AC Liberation is looking like a good play if you like the franchise
LBP Vita is supposed to be the best one yet (I love LBP but haven't bought this one)
bork pls
Black Ops Declassified is going to be poop. Don't bother. Vita's best (last?) FPS will be Killzone: Mercenary.
Virtua Tennis 4 is awesome though. Runs at 60fps and is native res. Looks beautiful too.

LBP Vita is really good, worth it for the single player. Great music in some stages.
Ass Creed's reviews are not as good as I was expecting. The better scores are coming from places that are comparing it within other handheld games, where the weaker ones are comparing it to console games and the game not living up to that standard. Impressions from non-reviewers seem a lot more positive. I dunno. I have some store credit that I might take the plunge. Some of the faults that reviewers are mentioning wouldn't be ones I'd notice since I'm not really familiar enough with the console entries to compare.

I think it's plenty fair to compare it directly to AC1,2,B,R since it's pretty much trying to be the same type of game, just on a handheld. I'll definitely be comparing it to them. I mean it's not like those are even high bars. R was a pretty mediocre 6 or 7/10 AC game. If Liberation can't be at least as good as Revelations it'll be worth trashing.
This is a Monster Hunter clone right? First game I'll have played in that genre

If you want to add me anyways, my Vita ID is gerneric123
Did you tell me who you were? lol
Written primarily by writer and director John Garvin, the following incredibly detailed postmortem follows the ins and outs of Sony Bend's development of Uncharted: Golden Abyss, the PlayStation Vita launch title and premier game.
The development of Uncharted: Golden Abyss was a perfect storm of challenges: we were a launch title for new hardware, which meant that our schedule was not flexible; we were crafting gameplay mechanics we had no experience with (traversal and the PS Vita's touch and gyro controls), which meant a huge learning curve and lots of R&D time; we were creating a rendering engine that used next-gen shader techniques, which meant our artists had to learn an entirely new way to create assets; we were working on a franchise that was new to us, which meant we had to retool all of our processes, from the way we built assets to the way we thought about level design; and we were working on an Uncharted title, which meant an exponential increase -- from what we were used to -- in the amount of cinematics, detail, animation and polish that would be needed.
BLACK OPS DECLASSIFIED NEXT WEEK!
VITA SAVED! :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
There's still barely any official footage of it out there, yet some footage that has popped up actually looks kinda....all right. It's missing a ton of features but still seems to be a solid game and better than Resistance was...at least for multiplayer. The single player sounds like a joke.
Yes, but I'm too lazy to do the work for you.
maybe... the psp doesnt say my saves are corrupted, just that there are none even tho i can clearly seem them on my mem stick. g2g rite now but i'll look into this later tonight.

That shit might have had a chance if it was done by the B team but it looks like they got the Z team instead and the 2 side don't seem to give a shit (Sony and Activision)
when has Killzone ever been a killer app by any stretch of the imagination

when has Killzone ever been a killer app by any stretch of the imagination
It's the first "in-house" Sony company that has support of the previous/console devs to put some effort into it. It's probably the first game to show what FPS'ers can do on the platform if done right. Resistance was supposed to be that, but it was given to a B-team with the original devs not helping/shaping the game.
Of course, before you point out Uncharted/Bend: Bend has a history of playing source material and then trying to fit the source-material onto the platforms they design for. Whereas Nihilistic doesn't really have that.
Cambridge and Guerrilla doing it together has a better chance of going "hey, this is what a FPS should be on the platform" instead of Call of Duty: Phoned-in Declassfied and Resistance: Rushed to get out at Launch.The big fish-little pond effect in action
Or, basically: This.
Though, IIRC Cambridge did the PSP LittleBigPlanet title which was a noble effort but not really "fitting the game onto the handheld." It was a decent try, but too many sacrifices made instead of going their own way to downport LBP1's engine to the PSP. So who knows, maybe Killzone will be similar. Trying to shoehorn Killzone 3 onto the Vita.
that all sounds like it's from a tech/design standpoint. I'm talking about the games themselves.

I'm going to assume Activision agreed to a COD for Vita and didn't think anything of actually making it until Sony came around banging on the screen door. Activision then slipped out the basement window and hurriedly handed off a flash drive filled with various assets like textures and fonts to Nihilist and told them to do....something. Well hey, that commitment has been filled so hooray! Weren't Sony saying how easy it was to port PS3 games to the Vita or was that fanboy crazy talk? Either way, kinda embarrassing it doesn't even have a decent story mode or many features from the console versions.
Why wont Sony just kill this fucking thing already? Just offer people an Xperia phone, a Walkman MP3 player or some PlayStation 3 games for free. I dunno, just SOMETHING. This is really embarrassing. I used to think the 3DS was a failure but man, this is bad.
Jesus. Poor Vita can't catch a break, if I had a Vita I'd be interested in a good casual shooter like CoD if it was on par with console version bar graphics...
Oh yeah, btw the PSN and bundle version doesn't include the free PSP game, lol.

said fuck it and got my Vita and 32gb card. The gamestop guy said that if their black friday deal looked really good, I could return the system and pick up another one. Sounds good.
I don't care what people say, I want this system to live. but don't worry, i'm not gonna be a fan boy about it. I just like that a dual stick handheld exists.
its the best way to play psp games, if that makes you feel any better

Eh, the only thing that sucks about the Vita is its sales. :P Plenty of good games are available, plus all those PSP games too.
Yeah, that sucks. And you know that "you can go back and re-download ANYTHING in your download history!!!" thing about PSN? NOPE- PSN will not allow me to re-download it to the Vita.
But that's OK- play Ragnarok Odyssey now and get Phantasy Star Online 2 next year.
3DS outselling Vita 47:1 in glorious nippon
It's simply amazing what a loss of one game can do to a platform.
Great minds think alike.
I'm actually surprised they presold all 10k of those editions. They're kind of crappy IMO.

I think they uploaded the wallpapers onto their Facebook account.
Uncharted is really a card game at heart. Taking cover just = playing a cover card to counter opponents' shooting which = casting shooting cards.
it's just covered up by the real time control mechanics.
You guys know this was already on the disc/cart right?
Back in the old Uncharted Vita thread, someone glitched the game and it took him to a set of Uncharted cards. Everyone was like WTF WEIRDEST GLITCH/EASTER EGG EVER. But apparently there was supposed to be a card mini-game in UA at some point. Looks like it got pulled and turned to DLC.
this release just highlights that Ac!d is not on PSN. :-\ and Phantasy Star Portable 2. :-\
and FFV doesn't work. :-\

As for MGA not being on PSN, I get the suspicion that Kojima doesn't care for the games he didn't direct. Twin Snakes, Ghost Babel, and Portable Ops have all been ignored.

Yep, it's a big shame. I'd stop using the PSP sandbox "hack"/exploit if they allowed them. Same for the first Phantasy Star Portable. What's funny is that PSP1/2 were on the PSN store and then got pulled by Sega for mysterious reasons.Quoteand FFV doesn't work. :-\

"One welcome change in tomorrow's PS Vita FW2.0 will be the web browser becomes a "small app", you won't have to quit games to use it."
Great.. now can we get some more games please? Maybe a price drop?
What kind of price drop do you want? I see Vitas going for the price of a 3DS these days.I'll probably get one of the $200 bundles. I think the Vita will eventually end up as popular as the PSP in Japan. Good for import gamers, not so good for people who like their games in English.
I had the chance to even trade a spare 3DS XL for a Vita... I couldn't do it
Cloud saving doesn't work with some retail games. Shinobido 2 and Mortal Kombat are locked; Gravity Daze transfers fine. Weird since even locked games like Demon/Dark Souls transfer on PS3 when they normally don't to a USB stick.
PS1 emulator got a big update. Everything is customizable now. All controls, front and back touch, and screen size (including custom option where you pinch to zoom and can drag it around; probably only useful for games like Castlevania SotN with its black bars).
oh, and hey, they finally tell you that holding down on the touch screen brings up the PS1/PSP game settings :lol
picked up Persona 4. I played like 10 hours of persona 3, got to the first boss got pissed and quit. Hopefully this game isn't as bad but I enjoyed what I played of P3. Got that free screen protector thingy for those wall papers but not ugnna bother
have so many vita games now its nuts

Nearly one year old and the line up is great. It's a shame no one has any taste anymore. :/
What's hindering Vita in Japan right now? No Monster Hunter? Price too high? Competing smartphones and tablets?
we say there are no games because ALMOST NO ONE IS DEVELOPING GAMES FOR THIS THING ANYMORE. come on now

you make it sound like this hasn't been the message since the day it launched! Oh... wait... #sadface
this is quite true
i've never been very good at these wipeout games. i just can't get how the crafts handle
I hear Jet Set Radio is super broken on Vita :(
My buddy sez the music keeps hitching every 30 seconds
yeah, having portable umvc3 and ngsigma sucks ass. i get angry thinking about how i could be playing kid icarus or pilotwings.

NG Sigma Plus does suck ass, though... dude.
I get what you're saying, but really: No effort or care has been given by developers for the hardware in comparison to the 3DS. You can't really deny that. Don't get me wrong, I love all the ports because I loved all the PSP's ports (outside of crap ports like the Burnout downgrades) but we can't really take that as "strong support" of the system in comparison to the 3DS getting new IPs or new entries in the series instead of ports or downports.
I remember reading somewhere that Sony has a "no ports" stance for the Vita. I'm sure that's not helping its game library.
An Assassin's Creed 3 PlayStation Vita bundle is hitting Amazon.com today for $179.99, and will feature a white PS Vita, a 4GB memory card and copy of Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation for the handheld device.
Also included in the Thanksgiving deal is download code for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, 30-day code for PlayStation Plus and a $10 Gift Card toward Assassin's Creed 3 on Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 consoles, an Amazon representative told Polygon.
This follows last week's reveal from Sony regarding an Assassin's Creed 3 Vita bundle including a PlayStation Vita limited Edition white Wifi device, Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation and a 4GB memory card for $199.99.
Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation received a 6 out of 10 from Polygon, stating "Ubisoft's desire to transcend low expectations for handheld spin-offs is clear."
I hear Jet Set Radio is super broken on Vita :(
Shut down and reboot the Vita. Same bug happened with the PC/360/PS3 versions of the game.
Vita can play PS2 classics now, right? That means games like Psychonauts, God Hand and Maximo in my goddamn palms. MUST... RESIST...
Wait seriously!? That was a feature touted at launch! DAMN YOU SONY
What games? AC3 and PS All Stars? I'm cumming in my boxer shorts, I'm sure
Wait seriously!? That was a feature touted at launch! DAMN YOU SONY
huh? I don't remember PS2 support ever being announced. i'll be happy if i'm wrong though.
That Vita deal is pretty awesome. I think I'll try to get one and then sell (or trade) AC3 and Sony Smash Bros. Between that Playstation Plus, I could play almost every game I'm interested in for $200 total. :omg

Combine that with the fact that it will probably be gone by 2014 and that Sony will most likely yank the PSN support for the thing shortly after. Maybe someone will hack into it but I don't see why it would be worth owning one.

You motherfuckers better be right about it being worth it in value.
i think it'll always be able to connect, as long as PSN is up. As far as I know, the ps3, psp, vita are all connected to the same central set of servers.
the way i see it, i already have enough to get my money's worth of gameplay out of the thing. i'm not worried about having a 10 year life cycle for something I paid about $150 out of pocket for....though a few years would be nice :'(
disregard my other post, looks like they keep adding more stock.Snagged one
You motherfuckers better be right about it being worth it in value.
The bundle itself already gives you Ass Creed, Uncharted, Mutant Blobs Attack, Gravity Rush, PS All Stars, Wipeout, Jet Set Radio. I think all of the PS+ games except Uncharted fit on the 4gb card at once.
after that, it all depends on what you want. I can tell you that if you have an interest in PS1 or PSP games, you'll have more than enough to play on the thing. if you don't, welp....you've got some good games, but not exactly a bright future at the moment.
Edit: I see your edit, yeah, you'll enjoy it. they look great on dat oled. Buuuut now this means you need a bigger mem card.

Oh, we're discounting bullshit games? then chop the 3DS list down to Crashmo and Etrian Odyssey.
and 8 games versus 5 games, totally worth arguing over in hopes that the system you picked edges out the other to justify your purchase :lol instead of acknowledging that both are weak.
edit: apparently you missed the downports and card games on the 3DS list too. very GAF.
Hold on a tic, after the PSPlus subscription lapses all those games self destruct right?
Only if you haven't added them to your download list, which you should be doing for every game that's available. You can resubscribe whenever and just download them from there.
Shame that you can't add games to your download list when you're not a member. Collect a bunch of games and play them during a free month or something like that.

There are seven Persona games (not counting ports) in that franchise's existence over 16 years. There are six games that star Mario, and have already been released on 3DS within 2 years.

Is there any reason to get NG Sigma Plus if I already have NG, NGB, and NGS? Does it have new missions or anything?
Is there any reason to get NG Sigma Plus if I already have NG, NGB, and NGS? Does it have new missions or anything?
nothing like that, afaik. They added game breaking equipment for Ryu and costumes also have attributes...but the game isn't really rebalanced to match up with these additions. No leaderboards, prob cause of the new items. It doesn't force you to use them or anything, though.
It does have trophies.
otherwise, it's just portable Ninja Gaiden Sigma. Aside from 30fps and some extra load times, it's the same game.
casting ninpo with a bunch of enemies on screen will make it drop, but just during the ninpo animation. There was one fight where it felt reduced-- when the purple guys jump out of the sewer after you ghost ride the train. That part has weird loading issues in every version of the game, not sure what's up with that.
other than that, it's solid. and has "feel of 60" for real
bottom line: someone looking for a solid, perfect version of Ninja Gaiden or extra content should look elsewhere (I mean, Sigma on PS3 is already below standards if you want perfection.) If you can be content just playing the game without too many problems, but with some definitely objective issues, then it's fine.
i personally look forward to breaking the shit out of the game on master ninja with the "enhancement" items.
Only Vita game I sold off. Hated the port.
But I will give Sigma 2 a chance.
The PS+ code amazon gave out for buying that bundle are actually 3 1-month trials so IIRC that means you need to have your credit card on the system for it to activate (then turn off auto renew and/or remove the info after) :lol

I took the hand me down PS vita and so it is now mine MUHAHAHAHA. Already got a backlog for it too. How is CoD, Resistance, and Unit 13? I want a shooter of some sort.
Unit 13 is better than Resistance, but lacks any sort of head to head competitive online multiplayer. Resistance is a cookie cutter FPS. Haven't played CoD because fuck $50 for 50 minutes of single player content.

even if it's a 100% perfect 60fps port of NGS2...still worse than NGS+ :smug
Uncharted is really pretty in motion. Shooting feels a bit weird though or maybe my skills are just rusty.
wat?
now this is fucking stupid, wtf sony :lol
Vita. Now this was a b****. And it's all my fault, i insisted on keeping the 60fps _and_ native resolution. Shaders had to be significantly simplified, as i just couldn't find a way to maintain detail and those above at the same time. The vita version has some simplified geometry as well (although not everything, only a few models here and there), and still, geometry processing bottlenecks forced me to use the CPU cores to do some additional culling. Bounding volumes are generated for each 32 tris in each model, used by an async culling job (on 2 cores) to generate new indexbuffers each frame. The game still has some slowdowns (worst case being 45fps) in certain sections, but i think it's not too bad, and the crisp native resolution was definitely worth it. edit: oh and if you happen to have red/cyan anaglyph glasses, there's a little extra for you in the options, keeping in tradition with the other versions
Some random facts about the Vita version: native res for most elements, except a few of the transparent polys which are rendered at 256x128. (Including the rockworm-blowup particles, that actually do damage you, sorry about that ) The game runs at 60fps, with two notable slowdowns (around 45 fps for a few seconds), and the cutscenes are all 30fps - cutscenes tended to tax the system more so instead of removing more graphical elements, i've decided to lock them at 30. The stereoscopic mode runs at 30fps, and was designed for red/cyan glasses. Unfortunately, we weren't allowed to include it in the US version, so it's a kind of EU exclusive feature

Unit 13 is the best for single player.
CoD is the the best for multiplayer.
That reminds me, I need to pick up Unit 13 at some point. Did they patch it's Vita-related save-killing problems?Only Vita game I sold off. Hated the port.

SCEA seems to be acting pretty dickish with the stuff they allow. What gives?

Sony have announced a new PlayStation Vita bundle, which will be released next week in celebration of the PlayStation Plus service arriving on the Vita.
Dubbed the “PlayStation Plus Instant Game Collection PS Vita Bundle,” it contains a 3G PlayStation Vita system, a 1-year subscription for PlayStation Plus, a Unit 13 game voucher, and a 4GB Memory Card for $300.
$300 is a steep price to pay for a portable, but Sony point out you’ll get access to seven different games, including the Unit 13 voucher. The other six are provided as part of PlayStation Plus. As previously reported, they are: Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Gravity Rush, Wipeout 2048, Jet Set Radio HD and more.

Is WRC available yet over there? I would pay someone to send that game to me.
Lumines sequels are never as good because they don't start with Shinin'
a bad game but for some reason, none of the sequels ever managed to best the original in terms of music and presentation
I wonder if they're going to putting slip covers on old retail 3G units. They did that with PSPgo where they simply put a slip cover over the original box. I can't imagine they're moving enough 3G units to be worth it to make more.
Huh? CoD and AC include the game in the box. AC in particular has a Vita that isn't available outside that bundle.For the empty display boxes.
I never had a psp or a ps1, so even if games dried out today, I wouldn't be upset about my purchase

bought unit 13 used. pretty decent shoot. some of the controls are super frustrating and make me want to strangle zipper ;)
regardless those fegs at sony are trying to sell me the online pass for 10$. thats about the same price that i got the game for. fuck that
Ports on a handheld are great if you have original games too; that was the case with the GBA. But Vita is mostly only getting ports.
That said, the one game I want for the 3DS is that port of Space Harrier. yay ports :-\
And I wouldn't mind a port of VF4 Evo with portable kumite mode. Between Vita, PSP, PS1, and NeoGeo games, there's an entry in every major fighting series except Virtua Fighter. Helps that the Vita has a great d-pad.
sorry dc, but keiji inafune can suck a dick. i want soul sacrifice to crash and burn, and that has nothing to do with vita and everything to do with inafune being the game industry person i'd most like to pop in the nose. that sony is down to building a relaunch around whatever turd he's coiling out this time is unfortunate for them, and i'll feel bad for them when he throws them right the fuck under the bus after it underperforms.
i'd also like to point out that i can pretty easily madlibs your post into a wiiutard's defence of that flaming wreck, and y'all oughta feel a deep burning shame about that
Finished Uncharted GA.
+ The graphics are really nice
+ Good voice acting
- No enemy variety. There's a guy with a gun, a guy with a shotgun, a guy with a gatling gun, and a guy with a sniper rifle. That's about it.
- Platforming is completely automated (it prevents you from making any wrong moves), even more so if you use the touchscreen.
- The framerate gets really bad on several occasions.
- The "puzzles" require no thought.
- The story consists of nothing but tired cliches, making it a bore.
- The two boss fights (if you can call them that) are made of QTEs where you swipe arrows that appear on the screen.
- Rubbing the screen to dust off key items is kinda annoying.
= The combat isn't bad, but there's nothing remarkable about it either. Completely run of the mill.
= Sony Bend definitely made an Uncharted game. Good job, I guess.
In short: the game sucks. At least it was free.
I liked Uncharted: GA more than Uncharted 3.
Nintendo is under heavy barrage of fire after Wii U flopped out of the gate so ninfags need some easy target to attack ASAP.
Name me one easier target than Vita.
I really don't think Inafune has much to do this Soul Sacrifice. The producers are from SCE, and the development is at MarvelousAQL. I think Sony are using him for a Capcom (and therefore Monster Hunter) link.
I liked Uncharted: GA more than Uncharted 3.
I guess I won't worry about 3 then :lol
Uncharted 2 was awesome, but since I'm not invested in the story, a sequel is the exact same gameplay in a different wrapper to me.
that looks like a 10 - 15$ buy for me. is it download only? or even out in english?

The studio (Vicarious Visions) was also working on a Vita version of Call of Duty: Black Ops II before that project, which my source said was flawed, was moved to another studio.
What i've heard from folks (two, to be exact) inside sony is similar but it's more like...
*Activision tried to scale down the COD engine to fit on the vita, something that Sony said wasn't a good idea but activision did anyway. From what I hear they worked on it for 18 months(!).
*It didn't work.
*Sony sent over Nihilistic to start from scratch using the engine they just created for resistance.
*They created the entire game from the middle of May to the middle of October.
*The reason it *had* to come out this year was because the contract the two (sony and activision) signed stipulated that it would come out at this time and sony paid 12 million in marketing as part of this contract. Basically, it sounds like its a clusterfuck to change a release date when there is a contract between two huge entities like this.
*Ive also heard from multiple people that it was 100% activision's call to charge $50.
i like how you purposely didn't post the next few lines maxy ::) ::) ::)
Why wouldn't the CoD engine work on Vita? It's just a modified Doom 3 engine, right? I thought it was pretty scaleable on even lower end pcs.
I feel like most complaints I have about Uncharted vita are because the Vita. The gimmicks shame most DS software except zelda spirit tracks. I'm guessing the Vita doesn't have a microphone? I never had to blow on the thing.
DEAD OR ALIVE 5 PLUS takes the signature fighting style of the popular DOA series along with stunning graphics and new martial arts techniques of the recent console release, and brings it to the Vita with all-new system-specific features.
In DEAD OR ALIVE 5 PLUS, players will take on the roles of the cast of DEAD OR ALIVE fighters in an intense, action-packed brawler set in visually striking locations from around the world. The famed DOA hand-to-hand combat returns, supported by 3D stages that update the series’ characteristic style with a fresh look and feel.
Stages in DEAD OR ALIVE 5 PLUS are more than spectacular visual backdrops, instead playing to a fighter’s strengths. As a fight progresses, the backdrop will change and interact with players. Skilled fighters will be able to utilize these dynamic stages to pit their opponents against fresh obstacles to create a new fighting experience. This fusion of combat and dynamically changing backdrops is the formula for the evolution of fighting games as “Fighting Entertainment.”
With a sensual yet realistic style, DEAD OR ALIVE 5 PLUS characters are rendered in incredibly lifelike detail. Innovative touch controls bring a completely new experience to fighting games. Simple taps, swipes and pinches to your opponent trigger a variety of devastating moves. Using the Vita’s motion sensor, you can play vertically for a first-person, full-screen view of your opponent. These intuitive new controls are only possible with the PS Vita’s touchscreen and rear touch pad.
Both novice and expert players will find even more ways to up their game with DEAD OR ALIVE 5 PLUS. New modes focused just on training offer tutorials on game basics, and a new display of advanced frame data offers over twice as much the amount of information on each move than the previous version. Tournament players will spend hours analyzing the best moves for their fights.
Gather your friends and take the fight inside, outside or anywhere. DEAD OR ALIVE 5 PLUS takes the ultimate in Fighting Entertainment on the go, thanks to the Vita's ad hoc and infrastructure network features.
FEATURES
• Intense DOA Fighting: DEAD OR ALIVE 5 PLUS expands the signature DOA fighting style with a variety of deadly martial arts techniques and styles.
• Realistic and Sensual Graphics: Characters come alive with a new visual style combining stunning realism with a warm, naturalistic feel that conveys every facet of each character—from raw power to sleek sensuality. And now you can interact directly with the characters using the Vita’s touchscreens!
• Dream Lineup: The full cast of DOA fighters is at your fingertips, including Ryu Hayabusa, Hayate, Ayane, Kasumi, Hitomi, Bayman, Christie, Lei Fang, Zack, Kokoro, Bass, Rig, Jann Lee, Helena, Lisa, Brad Wong, Eliot, Tina and more.
• Dynamic Interactive 3D Stages: More than a backdrop, spectacular locations from around the world provide a changing and interactive arena for deadly battles.
• Devastating Finishing Moves: Use power blows to interactively trigger the Danger Zone of a stage, including crashing cars, collapsing glaciers, and an exploding oil rig—distract your opponents or drive them into danger.

I want EDF but $40 seems pretty steep. You can get the 360 version now for what, $20? Less?Yea you can buy it direct download on live for $20, but this has added online and you can be a jet packer as well which wasn't in the 360 version? It probably should be $30 but EDF is awesome so if you've got a Vita fuckin' buy it anyway! :gun
But it does have online play added (not sure if the Japanese version did or not)...
SMH @ $40 for EDF
fuck sony for not making the vita charge on a standard microusb

Anyone here done the Uno hack that can answer some basic questions for me:
--can you still go online when you're not using the hack (i.e. buy from the store and play vita games online)?
--can you sync trophies still?

Apparently the original source for the DQ7 rumor: http://club.tgfcer.com/thread-6398778-1-1.html
1. 7th entry of a famous RPG for the 3DS.
2. 3DS revision.
3. Something about a contract between Nintendo and Capcom saying no MH on other handheld systems for 3 years.
Also, this was in 2010 from the same person: http://club.tgfcer.com/viewthread.php?tid=6266776
- Rumor about MH3 on the 3DS.
all i can say to that is that Capcom is lazy and can't be bothered to learn how to develop on the Vita correctly.
Vita fans having a hard time understanding that even if/when the 3 years is up, nintendo could bid and win another 3 years. not like they need monster hunter at this point.

According to some people here MS is getting it. MH on WP8 incoming.
a microsoft exclusive mainline monster hunter would result in maximum schadenfreude
if only microsoft still cared about the japanese market :'(

I think only one dude (XFE) is believing that and he must be joking for sure.
Huff, I mentioned this in the other thread but the Nthing flipside is that they are failing to understand that even if the Vita still has an awful user base that as long as they put enough cash on the table it doesn't matter - vita would get its MH.Yeah, but the big caveat (if this is even true) is that that assumes that, whenever this deal expires, Sony is still willing to pay through the nose to attempt to save Vita. I don't get the sense that they're even willing to do that now.
That said - this all just means there's an exclusivity option expiring - come on MS, get in there for a proper next gen console version ! Lol

yeah, MS exclusivity would make zero sense. the game's biggest market is on handhelds in Japan, which has fuck all to do with MS.

So just give me my dream and force lazy cap com devs to spunk out a -true- HD monster hunter (which would require MS standing over them with whips of course...)
Because its renting a condo at Nintendoville ?
As discussed before "into the series - but will only play the entries on Nintendo platforms" is closer to reality
3DS has a lock on it for a long time and console MH is not some huge 20 million seller in the West(so WiiU can take the West by storm).
So why oppose to sharing something with the rest of us?
That is just plain mean :'(

Lol, keep believing that.
We've been through this and you end up admitting it in the end - do we have to do the same dance again or should we just point to the previous discussion?
And the distinction is that you will by your own admission only play the entries on Nintendo hardware , right?
And the distinction is that you will by your own admission only play the entries on Nintendo hardware , right?
I started playing the series with Tri, so yes so far. Unless there was some other MH game that was localized since Tri released that I'm unaware of?
err who cares
... but you won't play Vita MH, or PS4 MH, or PS5 MH, or X720 MH ... right?
I'm butt-hurt and all I can say is "Vita sucks."
Anyways DC, I think you're wrong about me being a MH fan. I am one and you should just accept it. :wag
Yeah DC he will totally buy a new system* for MH5
*developed by Nintendo of course
Anyways DC, I think you're wrong about me being a MH fan. I am one and you should just accept it. :wag

Doesn't matter if they patch it, there's already another exploit. Just shows that Sony should stop bothering since 1) it's PSP emulator and 2) not bothering them. Might as well make dosh on people that want to play Birth By Sleep on a handheld that can't do it due to license issues.
And Jetpack will ALWAYS be free AFAIK. There's no time limit on that.

i (takao) have a vita. my friend andrex does not. but he wants one this year for valentine's day.

consider us your own personal vita hype machine, here to help you wage a valentine assault on ur parents, girl, granny, boss – whoever – so they know what you really want.
we'll let you know how it works for us. pls return the favor.
more to come,

Interested people should read the fine print.
I'm sure you all have seen this already, but here's an attempt at consolidating the information and starting a thread that benefits everyone.
I'm also sure many of you have already received this email, but I'll briefly explain. This is a promotion by Sony in which you are supposed to refer your friends to buy a PS Vita. Both you and your friend will be awarded with $20 in PSN credit and 1000 Sony Rewards Points. All you have to do is have them use your referral code and input their name, email, serial code, and PSN ID. At this point, I do not believe that the Vita has to be brand new as I was able to do this with my Vita which was purchased on Black Friday.
So let's get this ball rolling:
Go the link below, use any referral code (I've provided mine for starters), and follow the instructions. It's that simple. You should be in for $20 PSN and 1000 Sony Rewards Points when they send the codes out!
http://psvita.amplifinity.com/offer
My referral code: 14036475
Note that if your serial number comes back invalid, it seems that all you have to do is insert an extra 0 or letter at the beginning of your code (right after the two letters). Both 0 and H worked for me.
ALSO NOTE that after 10 referrals, the person who referred you will not receive any more PSN or Sony Rewards Points. So spread the wealth. Leave your own codes and quote the codes you use so we can maximize this for everyone!

- Engine is nearly 1:1 from PS3 version
- They added a few new gimmicks to the engine, so they can utilize more PS Vita...lol
- Game is gorgeous, clear and crispy textures, big draw distances
- Character models are awesome, the same with animation
- Stable FPS even with gigantic action inside levels
- Literally - game is like portable Killzone 3, looking better than Uncharted.

Konami "seriously considered" releasing Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate on PS Vita, but decided to keep the side-scrolling adventure a 3DS exclusive.
Why?
Well, it's all down to the Vita's pesky two-dimensional screen.
"The Vita could have run the game no problem, and we did seriously consider it as a [target] platform," the game's producer, Dave Cox, told Pocket Gamer.
"But when we saw the game on 3DS and how it looked with the 3D, it made us realise we could never replicate that on another system."
"I'm not knocking the Vita," Cox stated, "but if we were to develop a game on that console, we would really focus on the Vita's core strengths. The Vita game would be very different from a version for 3DS."

Cool. I just get this really strong "Sorry we lost out on Monster Hunter, guys! But this is even better. Really! We promise! We're not lying so you should be totally psyched!" vibe from everything to do with it.
what's the good port?
muramasa is quite possibly the best video game of all time.
as i recall, the main complaints were that nobody liked Murray, and that people generally preferred the more focused stage-based design of the original. i liked sly 2 quite a lot, but i couldn't get into 3, so i guess the formula was good just once for me.
So what were the main complaints about Sly 2 and 3 then? Pretty much just "Sonic and his shitty friends" syndrome?
Everything I've seen from the PS3 Sly 4 leads me to think they're just using the Sly 2/3 engine in HD.
And yeah, that sounds pretty much exactly like Sly 2/3.
So I'm looking at the PS store on my Vita and Ninja Gaiden Sigma + is still at full price. Anyone know when we'll be able to download it for free?
Nice to see the Vita picking up ports now (Sony finally gaining some sanity on their ports policy?). I'd buy ports of games like Muramasa just to see them on the OLED screen.
muramasa is quite possibly the best video game of all time.

true, but i thought they'd at least have a $6.99 N.O.V.A. or Modern War on the Vita PSN at launch, instead of $40 retail Dungeon Hunter and Asphalt
also no one buys the iOS stuff until it's on sale for .99 (at least i don't)
They were probably hoping/expecting the Minis version of NOVA or Modern Combat to be supported by Vita.

I don't know, but it's dumb and they should correct it.
With the one year anniversary of the PlayStation Vita fast approaching in North America, sources (who have requested that we keep anonymous) have hinted at the possibility of an upgraded model coming sooner than most may have expected.http://gamerxchange.net/2013/02/04/rumor-4g-vita-plus-firmware-update-to-be-revealed-soon/
Although the credibility of this report comes into question by myself and my colleagues, these are the details nonetheless:
A new 4G model of the PlayStation Vita will be replacing the 3G model sometime this year. According to the source, this will be the so-called “price drop” that has been rumored for the Vita as the new model will retain the $299 price point for an upgraded system.
The Wi-Fi version will still be available on the market for $249
To go along with the 4G model, a significant firmware update will go live bringing in a lot of requested features including new ways to organize apps in folders.
The new model may be unveiled along with the rumored PS4 this month at PlayStation’s February 20th event or at E3, but will not hit the market until later in the year.
A price cut on memory cards will be made. No details on prices.
According to the source, no other hardware changes will be made to the Vita and all other specs and features will remain the same. As for the 4G model, the regions where it will be available, in addition to info on any data plan pricing was not available.
As stated before, this is a rumor and credibility comes into question, so take it with a whole pile of salt, if you would like; But it should be interesting if it really pans out. We will reach out to Sony to see if they have any comment on this.
On February 7, 2013, the US Patent & Trademark Office published a patent application from Sony that is technically about the PlayStation Vita and their new and upcoming connectors. Sony states that the connectors are for "connecting the electronic apparatus to peripheral apparatuses" at the bottom and side surfaces of the device housing. Sony's patent filing specifically states that the next generation PS Vita will gain USB, HDMI and a power supply connector described as a parallelepiped connector.http://www.patentbolt.com/2013/02/new-sony-patent-reveals-new-ports-coming-to-ps-vita.html
(http://patentbolt.typepad.com/.a/6a0168e68320b0970c017d40dc8fb4970c-800wi)
Sony's patent application was originally filed in the US in Q3 2012 but months earlier in Japan. The photo above was taken from Sony website on February 7, 2013. It's juxtaposed to Sony's patent figures 1 and 2 which expose the new ports. In comparison, we see the new ports clearly.
The HDMI out is what makes it seem a little doubtful. And 4G is really stupid, but it also seems like a realistic boneheaded Sony move.
If it does HDMI out, maybe they'd find a way to make it require a PS4 to do that.
I'd love a Vita with HDMI out to record games. Will sell my current Vita to get the new model if it's real.

Not sure what your habits are, but I have 2 cart games and I'm supremely annoyed when I want to switch between them and the other cart is on my desk when I'm in bed. :lol Then I have like 35 or so vita/ps1/psp games with almost 3gbs left over.
which might get taken up by NGS2 tomorrow. Still a bit undecided on it for day 1...but i bet i'll cave
I hope the ninja race and tag missions are good. I'm actually glad it doesn't have online/ad-hoc co-op too, because that means you won't need an extra person to deal with the horribly designed clusterfuck missions, like in NGS2.

Vitard confirmed. :(
.......
I'm still buyin' it :derp
From GAF:QuoteNo patch. Returned this piece of shit thankfully. I said it was a defect, which is what it was.
Guess there's a chance they release a patch in a few days, but for now, avoid Sigma 2+. Shit port.
.......
I'm still buyin' it :derp

someone on gaf said to turn off the blood, prob helps
PSP could hardly handle PS2 ports, not a surprise PS Vita can hardly handle PS3 ports.

“If you’re a die-hard Persona fan, there’s a good chance you have every game in the series—Persona, Persona 2: Innocent Sin, Persona 3 Portable, and the recent Persona 4 Golden—playable on PS Vita… except one…”
So everything was much smoother until I wall-jumped to the outside area with all the Sakura trees...then it was a lag-filled mess again. This is the same stage as the first tag level. Maybe it's just certain areas?
How did they fuck this up? It's not their first port! :lol
you guys don't understand...you could tell me the game doesn't even boot and I'd have to try it for myself. I bought DOAX2 on launch. I bought the NG3 CE on launch for the demo code (thankfully people considered the CE scarce for some weird reason after launch, so I could resell everything minus the code about 2 days later for about the price I paid.)
eh, it's basically $20 off since I used GS credit for the card.
it's not even Vitard, though i'll gladly be that, it's team ninjatard. or team ninja dogtard nowadays.
bring on the derp, team ninja dog!!!
Some of you have noticed that Persona 2 Eternal Punishment, a PS One Classic that is playable on PS3, but does not play on PSP and PS Vita.
The title should have been set up to be compatable on PSP and PS Vita, however, at this time, it will not be able to be downloaded on to these devices. We're on it!
I've blocked this thread from replies so you can easily subscribe to it and be notified when we make an update on this issue. The goal is to ensure this game can be played on PS Vita as intended. I do not have an ETA on this at the moment, but to manage expectations, worst case scenario (again, worst case scenario), it may be a few weeks.
Thanks for your patience, and we apologize for the inconveneince.

Soul Sacrifice Famitsu review: 10/9/9/9 37/40
-Over 300 types of magic with a deep crafting system.
-About 25 hours to complete story on single player, multiplayer content expands this to several hundred hours.
-Superb storytelling through the grimoire system and its journal entries.
-Story is quite moving and definitely worth the time to experience.
-Huge variation of spells makes for extremely deep tactical multiplayer experience.
-Team work and role assignment in multiplayer has immense potential.
-Dying and being sacrificed is still fun and does not affect rewards.
-Being able to continue fighting even when dead is extremely welcome feature.
-The dark fantasy theme is well portrayed and written, although it may be too dark for some people's taste.
-Difficulty level is very high, but the high speed action is extremely fun and rewarding to learn.
-Salvation and Sacrifice system adds surprisingly profound and meaningful choice to the game.
-It might be "another hunting game" but it is overflowing with originality.
-Single player is fun in its own right, but multiplayer is where the game really shines. The more the merrier!
Tag Missions are really fun in NGS2+. Seems to be a worthy addition, frame rate aside.
-Superb storytelling through the grimoire system and its journal entries.
-Story is quite moving and definitely worth the time to experience.
Soul Sacrifice is gonna be the Vita's Citizen Kane.
how is MNM in NGS2? Mentor is a bit disappointing.
So it seems that Phantasy Star Online 2 (retail copy only, not the free download version from JPSN) will work with U.S. and Euro PSN accounts! All the download content and in-game purchases are not done on PSN and are done through Sega's own online store. Makes sense since you can use the same account from the PC version on Vita.Make sure to sign up on Ship 2 so you can play with all the other baka gai jins! :rock
I think I'm importing this now.
Finished P3P and am halfway through 4 now, loving the shit out of it. I just saw that P2 Innocent Sin is up on the store, but I'm kinda afraid to buy for fear that I'm that guy who loved FF12 and then was disappointed with FF2 because one is sparkly and the other is unplayable bullshit that didn't age well
I don't think a decent looking 60 FPS 3D action game is impossible on Vita, it's just going to have almost no lighting effects or AA. Or Sony can pull a PSP and stop underclocking it via firmware.
At least the stills look pretty, right?

Amazon has the 32GB card for $75.
Should I buy this and a Vita or wait for some E3 announcement?
I don't see the point of a 32GB card unless you really like PSN downloads. The games are already on carts, you're not getting a speed boost by "installing" them. Pretty sure Vita is not getting a price cut in NA due to the exchange rate.
Yeah, just going by this article (http://www.polygon.com/2013/2/21/4000638/playstation-vita-no-price-cut-north-america) where it was stated as a reason.I don't see the point of a 32GB card unless you really like PSN downloads. The games are already on carts, you're not getting a speed boost by "installing" them. Pretty sure Vita is not getting a price cut in NA due to the exchange rate.
That would be an odd reason. Right now the yen is weakening pretty consistently against the dollar, which would make maintaining the 100 yen -> 1 dollar pricing parity more affordable than it has been in years.

Bought on newegg, then went on amazon for a custom crystal case, Lumines, and Hot Shots. I wanted Wipeout but I don't want shit load times.
I will get sound shapes, stranger's wrath, and super stardust on download.

Wipeout's load times are acceptable if you're playing it at home. You probably don't have time for them if you're trying to get some quick gaming in during your commute.

They're like a minute at most. Not bad if you're sitting in a doctor's office or on break for a quick race. If you're wanting pick-up-and-go gameplay, I can't really think of a game on the system with fast loads for that purpose.
Wipeout.Get Sonic Transformed.It's the best racer on Vita.
Got another 32 GB card. Now I have 68 GB of memory cards for Vita. Should be enough for everything I'd ever need (Vita downloads + PSP + PS1)I crown thee king Vitard. :)
Gameplay of this game!
Ofcourse this game has a wierd premise to it
Our hero here has to make children with 12 Mikos in the Mystical Realm of Granvania this realm seems to be endangered by Impurities or Kegare as the monsters are called.
So the smart citizens decided to call upon the heroes of heroes..Who's bad with girls and his Childhood friend which is seemingly pregnant by an Unknown force or just him!
Picked up SFxTK from the Vita anniversary sale for $20. I know the load times on digital versions can be 1-2 seconds longer, but I swear I'm noticing performance issues, too- in training mode I noticed slowdown that I did not see in the cart version. Glad I haven't sold that off yet.
$30 16gb
$50 32gb

Now I wish I had gone for the LEGO batman bundle with no memory card and not gotten HSG and especially lumines at retail lol
double edit - both those games are a ripoff by downloading, never mind. I wonder if I'd even use a 32GB
QuoteWipeout.Get Sonic Transformed.It's the best racer on Vita.
fixed it for you - this isn't even a debate, it's fact. ESPECIALLY with Fury and HD add ons.
Load times are good for your heart rate because you're going to spunk out your kidneys when the game starts.
SOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good.

my digital copy of UMVC3 does weird things like freeze up while checking trophies and dropping the connection while doing fight request.
I didn't get any slowdown in SF x TK but I've seen some small framedrops.
The 8-4 Play podcast mentioned the Phantasy Star Online 2 localization was already finished. Sega needs to bring that over here asap

Is Persona 4 of any interest to someone who can't stomach anime?
Damn it I have no idea how this game could be possible that good. Really everyone is claiming how's it a godly game etc. Me being not fond of PS2/PS3 style rpgs with their 'stylish' huds and radars and the ever overfocus on combat can't believe that I would like this game.. yet I'm still intrigued.
By card you mean the physical game itself?
God persona 4 is so fucking good, whenever I fight IRL I always hear Shoji Meguro tracks in my head
There is some kind of workaround for changing regions without having to format the card. Look it up on GAF.
The Content Manager is handy if you want to backup your saves. Otherwise you can just download the games from the PSN again.
why the fuck is resistance demo 3GB? lol.
A majority of the Sony stores across the US have dropped the price of the 3G-compatible PlayStation Vita, down to $199.97. The base 3G bundle includes the handheld, an 8GB memory card and a voucher for a free PlayStation Network game – if you sign up for data coverage, that is.
The image above comes from a Century City store in LA. Save for a couple of stores on the East Coast that had closed once we started hitting the phones, we called each and every Sony store location to confirm. An employee at the Denver location surmised this was a permanent price drop due to a discontinuation of the model and said there was no time frame on the sale in his system, which means Sony can end the sale whenever.
The New Jersey and Las Vegas locations also told me the 3G model was being discontinued, while an employee in Seattle said the sale would only last until Sunday.

I liked Lumines and Rayman, but then again I only paid £6 for them and I had really low expectations.
Gravity Rush is worth playing, but I quit after maybe 5 hours because I found a section a bit frustrating. It's not the killer app it was hyped up to be.
Is Sound Shapes cross-buy? I haven't decided if I want it for PS3 or PSV.
I took out the Vita on Monday to download the freebie games. Being the impatient ass that I am, I downloaded Wild Arms then didn't feel like spending a few more minutes to download the rest of the games. I turned it on today to find out that the sale is over. Fuck me. :fbm

Gravity Rush is worth playing, but I quit after maybe 5 hours because I found a section a bit frustrating. It's not the killer app it was hyped up to be.
Is Gravity Rush good? The demo really didnt hammer anything home, but it was probably the best demo I tried.
Runner up would be Escape Plan, but the controls eventually got to me (having to pinch the screen was stupid as fukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk)
Sound Shapes is pretty neat in that FRESH INDIE way. Reminded me of some flash web game tho.
I didnt try Uncharted cause I gots to play some Uncharted.
All the other demos I tried (I didnt bother with Hot Shots, Lumines, etc. -- I know how these play) were doodoo or gave me wicked PSP flashbacks. As in, "gee, this looks like a PSP game. Ok."
A lot of Vita games really use the controls against you. Even that freebie Montezuma Revenge. It has me rub the back of my screen, while using the frot screen to move gems. How the fuck?
Now all Vita needs is a Record of Agarest War port and it will be crowned king of uguu.
Now all Vita needs is a Record of Agarest War port and it will be crowned king of uguu.
If you thought the Gravity Rush demo was "alright," it's more of the same. I felt it got REALLY repetitive but it was an alright-ish game. I'm not clamoring for a sequel like most of the people that played it are.
Edit: I should mention it's a pretty easy platinum/1000gs if you're an achievement whore. Outside of like one or two side-mission/challenges, anyway. But they're do-able.
When I mean PSN only, I guess I mean stuff that's ONLY on Vita and ONLY digital.
If I can get a PS3 version (Sly 4, All-Stars) or a physical cart -- I dont particularly care.
BTW, how does that work? I wouldnt mind snagging some free Vita games.
I'm pretty sure my four •s aren't available on other platforms or on physical cards.
I haven't picked up any cross-platform games yet, but I assume they just add a voucher code for the Vita download.
Interesting, so maybe I can swipe some Redbox's and try to find a PS3 copy that hasnt been used.
I can see myself buying Sly 4 when it goes on sale eventually, All-Stars is definitely one I'd like to find in a rental.
Are those the only two games?

People (or just me) don't want a sequel because gravity daze is a really great game. It's more that they (I) feel it has heaps of potential that's not realized in the first game, and a great style to it.
having said that, I enjoyed the game but it does get repetitive and the missions/levels are totally dull. It's like they didn't know how to make a great game around the gravity shifting mechanic. The game is most fun when you're flying around in the open world collecting orbs.
I said it was "alright" because I wasnt actually turned off enough to immediately delete the demo like everything else. Also it was one of the only games to not have crap Vita controls. The demo just didn't really showcase anything. It was the tutorial or something.
Interesting, so maybe I can swipe some Redbox's and try to find a PS3 copy that hasnt been used.
Looks like Ratchet And Clank Full Frontal Assault has it, too, but the Vita version was delayed so I'm not sure how that works.
I don't think it's out yet. It better be 60fps
how is the doa5 portdown
Gamestop broke the release date...just picked it up!
(http://i.imgur.com/Ou1ND6ml.jpg)
Not all the stores are selling it early, however. Had to call around.
Qvestions:
- Is it 60fps
- Is it native res
- Does it have fight record and playback for PERV OUT MODE
- Does I gotta re-unlock all the costumes
On 3.19.2013 it will be!

Btw how is Muramasa a bad game, exactly? Maybe they'll fix it for the Vita port?
Not my kind of game. Still looking forward to Soul Sacrifice, Dragon's Crown, and Muramasa Rebirth.
Btw how is Muramasa a bad game, exactly? Maybe they'll fix it for the Vita port?
I had to go to the ghetto GameStop to actually get a copy. Holy fuck! This is unquestionably the best portable fighting game ever. I am blown away by how smoothly everything runs. It's like I'm playing the Xbox 360 version. I used to think that the Tekken games on PSP were the best portable fighters ever, but this one sets a new bar.

Crazy and sad. DoA ain't fit to hold VF's jockstrap. Wish SEGA would put VF on something handheld already.
Well even if it's a shallow button masher I'll probably get it anyway. I have fond memories of side scrolling slash em ups.
DOA5.. is this a good fighting game? Boob massages aside.
Portable VF would be very hot. Honestly, I don't play Final Showdown...I'll even pop in VF5 PS3 before it, which is based on the ancient rev.B of the game, since it has Quest Mode and better sound/graphics. I actually like Quest Mode the best, since I'm not really trying to get seriously good at the game. And the sound in FS really sucks bad. I have to use headphones because it's a mess on my shitty TV speakers. VF4: Evolution is also still a fucking awesome game with a robust quest mode.
Skipping DoA, I 100% dropped the PS3 version, so I'm not too interested in this port. Plus, there's zero chance of it replacing UMVC3, which is not just my favorite fighter, but one of my favorite games right now. I still can't get over that I'm playing a near perfect version of it on a handheld.
Crazy and sad. DoA ain't fit to hold VF's jockstrap. Wish SEGA would put VF on something handheld already.
I think DoA is a better "friends on the couch" fighting game series. If you've got some buddies over, and none of them are particularly experienced with fighting games, they can still pick up a few moves within seconds and have a good time.

Posted on 18 March by Alex Moyet – SCEE Junior Product Manager
We’re really excited to announce that the magical Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two is coming to PS Vita later this year!
Join the legendary Mickey Mouse on a fun-filled quest to bring a splash of colour back to Wasteland – a weird and wonderful world of forgotten Disney toons – in this sequel. Exploring alone, or alongside the loveable Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in a co-op adventure, Mickey must use his enchanted paintbrush to find new paths, solve puzzles and battle evil mechanical monsters.
Naturally, we’re making the experience even more epic using the awesome controls of the PS Vita, including front touch for greater painting accuracy and tilt controls for racing mode. Not only that, but there’s also a two-player wi-fi co-op mode exclusive to the PS Vita, so you can unleash the power of two on the go anywhere, anytime.
Stay tuned for more updates, including release date and pre-order details.
Vita needs a Vice City HD remaster. Just up the resolution, fluff the graphics up a bit and slap camera control to the right stick and we're done.
Sorry, Vice City HD is exclusive to the victor of the handheld wars.

Sorry, Vice City HD is exclusive to the victor of the handheld wars.
So now we wait for Nintendo to release a handheld that could generously be referred to as HD, and we're good to go! 2020 is gonna be pretty sweet!
The PlayStation 3 version of Final Fantasy X HD will include both Final Fantasy X and X-2 on a single disc, according to a 2ch rumor* picked up by FF-Reunion.
On PS Vita, each title will apparently be sold separately.
Each game will also include its respective International edition content, according to the rumor. A release is planned for 2013.
* The information supposedly comes from next week’s issue of Jump. According to FF-Reunion, the poster has a proven track record with these types of leaks.
The Vita versions? I guess it's possible they won't be released in the West, but I feel pretty confident. The PS3 version is definitely coming to the West, and is in fact the reason why FFX-2 is being done at all (SCEA forbids physical releases of single HD versions of games). Type 0 would have come if the Vita hadn't faceplanted (the translation was well under way), and Bravely Default is coming, or at least that's the plan at the moment.
I can't imagine anything they could pack with FF12.
As for why they would release PS3 versions and not Vita? The only scenario would be where they don't expect the Vita version to sell enough to cover physical costs. We're not quite there yet, but in a year, we could be, I suppose. I still think it's coming, though. Type-0 was just a perfect storm of shit.
I can't imagine anything they could pack with FF12.

god the Vita store is a pain in the fucking ass with these constant errors
Atelier Totori Plus is up on the US PSN.
No, I still have a little dignity left. But killing Gust is totally a good thing in my books.
There wasn't, no. The only endings where Rorona isn't a child are the 'Just as planned' end where she ends up 14 forever without any of her memories (she doesn't even know who Totori is), and the Tea Party end where all the girls end up 14 forever and... well I'm not usually one to call things like this creepy but that ending really is disturbing to watch. So basically in both of those she's aged up a bit but considering she was older than 14 by the end of Totori as it is, I don't think you can really argue either of those have her restored to her 'original' form.
Also, one of the screenshots of the added events they released has Meruru wondering if the potion of youth she made is reeeally going to return Rorona to normal, and another one has Astrid reacting to Meruru trying to lecture her about something (no screenshot of what Meruru said to her) by challenging her to make a more complete one. So yeah, it seems to be suggesting she finds out about Astrid's obsession with 14 year olds and decides to take it upon herself to make a proper one to give us the end we want.
Vita exclusive? holy shitFuuuhuuuck. Good for the Vita, it needs exclusives, but I don't want to have to buy one just for that one game. Shit.
It's a new dungeon crawler from Acquire. It's very inspired by the recent Persona games.
If Vita turns into a wasteland of uguu and PC H-game ports I'll be sad.
OK. Another Shining Hentai.
Could be Shining. Could be Valkyria. The only thing we know for sure - it's never getting released in English.
Today, IGN can confirm that season one of Telltale’s The Walking Dead will be coming to PlayStation Vita this year.
In an interview with PlayStation’s Director of Product Planning and Platform Software Innovation Don Mesa, it was revealed that Telltale’s critical and commercial smash-hit adventure series would migrate to Sony’s new handheld.
“Having [a studio] like Telltale, a very successful indie developer, coming in to support us sends a strong message,” Mesa told IGN in an extensive interview about all things PlayStation Vita.
In talking about how the Vita could offer unique experiences, Mesa continued speaking about the Vita iteration of the game. "Again, a good example is with The Walking Dead. We think that the emotion and the immersive experiences you're going to get there, wherever you're sitting, if you're in your living room and playing on your Vita or sitting at a café or at the bus stop and playing this, you get that shock or fright. I think that's going to be important. That's what we want to deliver as you're playing."
The release window for The Walking Dead season one on PlayStation Vita has yet to be determined. It’s also unclear if it will be released episodically – as it was on PS3 – or all at once. However, you can rest assured that it’s coming.
Apparently Limbo is coming to Vita

I haven't played it so its new to me :teehee
Sony should be pursuing the iOS indies harder. There isn't much left to pick up on the PC/Console well known indie front, time to go after the phone market since PSMobile isn't bringing them over. I played enough games with on screen buttons to know there are plenty that would benefit from the vita
Whoa, the real spelunky and not that knockoff that almost tricked me into buy it?
Coolios. The one I'm thinking of is Spelunker HD, I'm not sure who did it or how good it is, but I sure despise them for trying to mislead people.
This week’s Famitsu reveals that the new project is “Sakatsuku”, a soccer title for Sony’s systems. It’ll support cross-play and cross-save features. 100 clubs as well as 6 leagues are included.
What about it? Still coming. Are indies the savior of Vita now?Not just Vita,indies will save consoles too.I mean,after spending the whole day at work playing smartphone indie games people will just continue to play them at home on a big screen,right?
Yeah they are great for the current vita owner, but who would really buy something to play limbo on the go?

So, about that 2013 Vita death...
With this huge news, what's your prediction for the next couple NPDs? Personally, I think we might see Vita reach the northern side of 40k again, even if just barely.
Japan's reaction to this huge list of games never releasing on the Japanese PSN is sure to be big as well.
why are gaffots going on about "holiday spike".... they don't think we have easter here do they?!
also - why did the spike affect Vita and not WiiU? Kids got cash for Vitas and not for WiiU? that would seem odd.
Tried account switching to use some DLC for some of the Japanese games I have and check out the Soul Sacrifice demo. You can now skip the stupid intro video (just power the system off/on), so it cuts down on a lot of time, but it was a pain in the ass switching back to my U.S. account- I knew the system would change the icon order, but some game icons were deleted entirely. (The save data for them was not) Also had to re-enter all my billing information.
It was just annoying enough that I doubt I'm going to be doing this very often.
dc tilting at GAF windmills again?
maybe numbers work differently in the uk, but i'm reasonably sure 76,000 is a higher number than 68,000.
they're all deluded, insane, monstrous wrecks of humanity dc and only you can right this terrible wrong they have perpetrated

Wait do you have to go thru the process if you have a different MC with the different region/goods?
You're right, he's not. There are dedicated people at SCE who handle that. This was probably just a friendly encounter since they know each other. However, SCE has been talking with Sega about exclusive games for over a year now. They have 2 games in the works currently for PS4.
I think what is up with the no English release is that the license costs money, the first one didn't sell terribly well, and new Vita games have trouble cracking 10k sales in NA in most cases.

GungHo Online Entertainment is readying Ragnarok Odyssey Ace, a complete reworking of last year’s Ragnarok Odyssey on PS Vita, for PlayStation 3 and PS Vita.
The game will include a new episode set after the ending of the original game, and all of the downloadable quests from the original will be included, according to Famitsu.
Ragnarok Odyssey Ace is due out on July 11 for 4,935 yen in Japan.
The latest issue of Famitsu revealed Ragnarok Odyssey Ace, an update to last year’s Ragnarok Odyssey, for PS Vita and PlayStation 3. Among a new episode set after the game’s ending, and all the download quests from the original game, the game will also feature a host of new elements. Find these additions detailed below.
Music
Composed by Kuma Tanioka
Monster
Niizuegg (ニーズヘッグ): A black dragon. In addition to biting and scratch attacks, it can also breath strongly.
Skills
ACE Skill.
There are ACE skills per class now. Skills include attacks, movement, and recovery.
In addition to button combinations for invoking a skill, there are also touch commands.
Skills per class are different, and it appears there are a range of ways to customize them.
Classes
Six classes are being carried over from the original game, but the illustrations have been redone.
Dungeon
“Tower of Yggdrasil”: A randomly generated dungeon with a layered structure. You’ll need a specific item to get in. The further you go, the more powerful weapons and cards you can acquire. You can take breaks every five levels. Multiplayer is also possible.
Equipment
“Harmonasu Weapon”: Using the right order, you can level up your weapon ability. Depending on how you level up, the shape of the weapon will also change.
There are new items, like clothes and accessories, based on the new monsters. It appears you’ll be able to change their color.
New cards have been added.
Other
A “Mercenary Helper” system has been added.
A “Mercenary Encyclopedia” with weapon and monster data, and a combat record showing play data, has been added.
“Daily Quests”: GungHo planning to offer a different quest every day.

PS Vita v2.20 update to add folders
The next PlayStation Vita system software update, version 2.20, is set to arrive in the next couple of days and will add the ability to create folders, this week’s Dengeki PlayStation reveals.
Here are the details:
Folders
You can configure folders.
- Up to 10 icons in a folder.
- You can name the folders what you want.
- The icons displayed on the home screen get shrunk a little, so they also end up a bit grainy.
- Unclear whether the icon limit will increase or not.
Browser Improvements
- Stream web videos.
- Not sure what format.
Nasne Link Improvement
- Transfer / back up save data, etc. with Nasne via Wi-Fi.
Nasne Update 1.70
- Nasne gets an update; better link functionality.
http://gematsu.com/2013/04/ps-vita-v2-20-update-to-add-folders
and I will wait and see with Guacamelee*
* until it hits PS+
PSV finally getting a firmware update to create folders :hyper
PSV finally getting a firmware update to create folders :hyper
:anhuld :phil :ohhh :ooh
I wonder if folders will stay intact when account switching...
Verify which PS Vita card you are using by looking at the home screen’s info bar. You can also save the layout of your home screen icons in the memory card.
yeah, what's up with that?
I haven't done account switching since launch since it's a pain. Is it easier these days?

I know exactly what you're talking about. It's so annoying when browsing. You zoom in while it's still loading and it suddenly goes back to its initial full display when the page is done loading.

Even missing basic shit and having some quirks, it's probably the best OS of any gaming console or handheld at the moment, in terms of speed, functionality, and lack of excess shit (ads, that useless PS3 rss feed that spits out gibberish most of the time.)

is it an actual metroidvania or is it something entirely different that clueless people call a metroidvania, like outland was?
new fw is out!My favorite game.
srsly who the fuck is going to buy a mahjong game in JapaneseI might since there aren't many good translated versions. It's not like you need to learn that many symbols to be able to play it.
i'm so confused by this
just tell me if it's long enough. I don't wanna pay 10 euros for a 6 hour game. Also are there things like upgrades to your moves?
i'm a little worried about the vita version. i will never touch it if it's on my ps3...it just can't compete with all those perennials i have on the system.
Guilty Gear Accent Placenta Orthodox Stalinist Arkham Plus: Origins is coming on 4/23

Finally 100% Guacamelee. 11h played. Very satisfying game, highly recommended, worth the money.Yep, really liking this an awful lot. Alienating the fears that the vita is rip, Indy by indie.
We’re going to base it on the essence of the original T2K. It’ll be the pure, straightforward shooter that maybe you hoped for when you first saw Space Giraffe. We’re not going to overload you with ultra psychedelia, but we will make it fluid and colourful and awesome-looking on the Vita’s delicious, vibrant OLED screen. We’re going to give you a perfect treat for your eyes, ears and thumbs with a modern extrapolation of one of the best shooters ever made on hardware that’s just perfectly suited for it, and in a way that retains the purity of the original design.
It’s going to be *awesome* .
i wonder if he'll have another meltdown when nobody can figure out how to play the damn thing
i find it depressing that Minter's stuff is barely selling - he blogged recently about being close to The End, didn't he? So this Sony thing must be a real lifeline if they are suddenly discussing all these new projects.
The iCade gives all his iOS stuff a new lease of life btw...Gridrunner is particularly fuckawesome
The demo for Soul Sacrifice is coming to PlayStation Store on April 16th — thanks for waiting so patiently!

Are there any plans for Sony to release non-black Vitas? I've been trying to find the Asscreed White Vita but it seems that Sony stopped making it. Only places that have it are trying to sell it for $300+.

Yeah, what exactly interesting is supposed to go up today?
Are you guys really hype for Soul Sacrifice? What's the Japanese verdict? I've got a preorder but haven't paid much attention.

i think Fez is coming out for Vita. people keep mentioning it in the 50 page thread about one sentence phil fish wrote
Guilty Gear doesn't have online play. LOL Arc.
Dunno if I'm going to get it now.
$15 is too much for such an old game that lacks a must-needed feature. I just can't get over Arc being so shady about it.
thinking about buying Spelunker Collection from the Japanese store? Don't... just keep on walking.
When i saw the M2 splash i had high hopes given how insanely awesome their recent treatments of Sega games on 3DS have been, but then i also see Tozai's name....
The emulation (unless my memory is off) for the FC version - which is used for 3 of the 6 games - is so badly off that it's confusing as to what the hell went on. The speed varies and the music is garbled. Perhaps the FC game -is- like that and i need to go back and check it out on hardware but i certainly don't think it had speed issues.
800 yen at the moment - as i say - keeeeep on walking.
Soul Sacrifice tomorrow! :hyperthinking about buying Spelunker Collection from the Japanese store? Don't... just keep on walking.

i checked the metacritic out of curiosity and it's 75... that's supposed to be crappy?
I saw that amazon shipped a copy of Soul Sacrifice to me this morning. I forgot that I pre-ordered it some time ago. Not sure what to do about this one since Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate left me cold.
magoose, by western gaming critic standards, a 75 might as well be a zero, and gamers certainly react like it is.
Sure, buddy. Not like there is any history of Vita games getting constantly 5%-10% lower score averages than console counterparts for no reason whatsoever. Even the exclusives follow that problem. Motorstorm RC Vita - 77%, Motorstorm RC PS3- 82%
Completely ridiculous, and you stating that people in here have confirmation bias just shows how biased you are towards the opinions presented here instead of actually thinking about it.
And yeah, people should support the game because its good, I agree.
If we add the Vita tax on top of the average 74% review score, it lands at a 79-84% score, which sounds fair to me considering the widespread use of the 5-10 scale.

some of my favorite games have meta scores under 80, too. That's beside the point, though. When it comes to game reviews, anything under an 8 from most sources is basically the lower end of their active scale.

The IGN review and score for Samurai Warriors 3 on Wii was probably the worst offender of this.

With this and Bebpo's post in the Relationships thread, it prsents a solid case on how fucked up these games make you.

There's an outside chance the Vita will have a mildly less abortive life in Japan - the library is pretty good as is if you ask me.
I've recently started playing Miku.... i'm not entirely comfy with playing it on a train but the game itself is solid enough. Hmmm.... "solid" ....
Even Tecmo's got to be reassessing things after the sales craters Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 and DoA5 left.
How you know Vita is really fucked: Even Sam Bishop has started to get pessimistic about it in his most recent posts on SA.
Anyone familiar with his record on Sony platforms in general and Vita in particular will know just how remarkable this is.
Soul Sacrifice is probably a game to get sooner rather then later while it still has a community, right?

I'm still up on the Vita as I don't mind importing Japanese games.

He talked about games he signed: Thomas Was Alone, Hotline Miami, Rotating Octopus Character, Limbo, Luftrausers, Velocity Ultra, Terraria and Floating Cloud God Saves the HD Pilgrims.
BUT he added this: "Oh and the P game".
I asked about what "P" game and he told me: "the one that people will say to me “WTF?!” Or “COOL!”
He added: "And I’m hoping to get some more stuff signed before E3. Something for everyone".
I asked about E3 show, hoping Sony won't forget about Vita, and told me this: "I’m sure you will enjoy the show, nobody has forgotten about Vita, trust me".
Then he said: "Oh and there is an AMAZING big title coming to Vita. I can’t tell you anything about it, except that you are gonna be hooked for hours".
Sounds like Vita might have a surprisingly big show at E3. (https://twitter.com/Andrew_Reiner/status/334825395226566656)

Surprisingly big in the sense that everyone was expecting nothing except for maybe something on Killzone and PS4/PSV connectivity. Sony shortchanged the Vita last E3 when there was something to show. Now there's jack and shit (except Killzone LOL) to show off.
whatever is shown, I just don't want more portable versions of PS3 games. PSP was better about having its own identity, even if it involved reviving PS1 franchises.

It's not the roots; it's the redundancy that gets me. Killzone and Resistance on PSP were different games than what was on consoles (and better for it). But you look at Killzone and Resistance on Vita and they look the same as the PS3 games. Same problem with NSMB2 3DS and NSMBU. Crossplay games are fine, though.

I don't think calling anything Gamecube-esque in Japan is anywhere near generous. 4 million units sold with only one competitor and a portfolio of characters that are beyond beloved in the country. Vita's at about 1.5 million now. I think it can hit 4 million. Software-wise, it's probably too generous, though. There won't be any million-sellers on Vita unless Capcom brings MH back around.
heh, it's funny being on the losing team but loving the system. it's also funny they are ditching BC on consoles but that BC is the only thing making this thing worthwhile at the moment. I can't even trick myself into liking most of the full retail original games on the system. Uncharted, Gravity Rush...shit's straight up ass. Maybe soul sacrifice is good, but i've got plenty of stuff I'd rather play.
It's getting lots of good little PSN games though. I'll be on Hotline Miami and that space shooter that was a mini but is now a full game. the trailer made it look pretty ingenious.

Although it's hardly the killer Japanese app the Vita needed- especially with the better version out on PS3.

I haven't gotten into Soul Sac at all since the demo - i just haven't had the urge to play it. Uncharted i thought was way better than people make out, yet Gravity Rush just didn't click with me though i still need to go back to it. Miku F is stupidly good - i have no idea why i didn't play it sooner, PBS2013 is incredible as a handheld game.... aaaaand i'm stopping there before it becomes a list post.
I would agree with the notion though that most the good stuff on the Vita can be played on a console - and that's an issue. It's not had -and may never get- that machine making game. I'd say a truly customised-for-portable GT game is about the best shot Sony has and , to be honest, unless it's part of a big surprise package at E3 then not announcing it with GT6 seems to put that one in the ground.

Speaking of Miku, I just unlocked this one in Project Diva F, it's the most ridiculous song ever (also see below video for translation). Warning, the uguu is high in this one, probably not as high as the Mugen Souls intro though.

you didn't play miku f sooner because you are not a skeevy pedophile otaku, dc
:'(
I am just a late to the party skeever :/
Game is an excellent fill in for Ouendan - the music starts to get less grating after a while and theres a good number of songs
If your kid was obsessed with Miku, you'd think differently, I'm very sure.
God I hate Miku
Let the music into your heart:

Wow, that looks really crappy. I actually thought it would be a decent RPG.
What made you think that? The Valhalla Knights series is known to be pretty subpar.That's been going on for years, sadly.
I also find it laughable to see Marvelous AQL sugarcoating the shittiness by adding a stupid amount of gratuitous titty fan-service in an attempt to attract more sales.
Dont really care for online. It is a good single player poop on the toilet game?
Dont really care for online. It is a good single player poop on the toilet game?
the game isn't as good as the PSP games as the structure is a little changed and there's way less customisation - it also has some major issues with course design in the very late stages of the game (might have been patched?) where some holes basically become almost impossible if the wind isn't favourable.
It's good, but it could have/should have been better.

Totally backwards, defeatist progression. Just spruce up the graphics a tad and throw in some tits because that's the best they can do. Fucking muppets.
is the ps3 one any good? i had a blast with one of the ps2 one (i can't remember which one... it had a world tour mode)
There are plenty of interesting B and C tier RPGs. If they just implement an interesting battle system, loot or stats then I can have fun even though the other parts are sub-par. Even very basic RPGs, like Candy Box (http://candies.aniwey.net/) and Parameters (http://www.nekogames.jp/g.html?gid=PRM), can be surprisingly great time wasters.Wow, that looks really crappy.

The PS Vita version will include all Rayman Legends content as well as five exclusive maps that will be playable with Murphy. Additional exclusive content will include two costumes. Rayman can dress up in a Prince of Persia costume while Globox gets an outfit from the Splinter Cell series.
"A multiplayer mode is locally accessible on Wi-Fi and fans from the same country can play in cooperation," the press release states. "Players can also compete with one another in the online challenges and compare rankings in the online leaderboards."
Does anyone actually like Rayman? He just seems like some also ran mascot ala Bubsy that inexplicably refuses to go away.

The first Rayman game for the Vita was kinda fun, but I don't feel like I need to play another one for a decade or two.

Pretty cool, but not earth shattering.
Sony should stop messing around and moneyhat Monster Hunter already.
A trusted PlayStation 4 developer source with a proven track record for accuracy has told Digital Foundry that Sony has mandated Vita Remote Play for all upcoming PS4 games - except those that require the use of its bundled stereoscopic camera, the PS4 Eye.
You should definitely be picking up Soul Sacrifice before you even drunkenly entertain the notion of Toukiden.
Yes, yes they are. It's less a condemnation of what I'm sure will be another mediocre piece of bland software from Omega Force and more an endorsement of Soul Sacrifice.
It'd be pretty impressive if the Vita could run them at 60fps
Hotline Miami next week is supposed to have it IIRC.
Got Jak and Daxter in the mail yesterday. I beat the first one and didn't bother with the other two. Going to try to see if I can play and beat all three.
The first one looks great on the Vita so far. Just barely cracked into it so I can't tell you if there's slowdown or other shit like that.
I'm going to probably end up getting all of those shitty collections because I've never played games like God of War before. Might as well start now.
Update: The theme of Chronos Materia is "time" and the game has a system where you can change fate to break an eternal cycle. Chronos Materia is a new style of RPG that’s easy to play again and again. Characters Iris, Primula, Thyme, and Shion were featured too.
The writing was on the wall for Vita as soon as it couldn't play Android apps or work as a cell phone.
Only poor indies support Sony.
Warriors Orochi 3 is supposed to hit the Vita soon. Contains some additional stuff over the other versions.
Are there any Gundam or Musou games announced for the Vita?
Koei's Toukiden came out last week and caused Vita sales to spike a tiny bit to 31,000 units. Kind of surprising since it's also a PSP release. I figured the PSP version would be the bigger seller.
For once, instead of porting the PSP version up, they ported the Vita version down. I think that helped a lot.
Hmmm, might finally buy Growlanser and Gungnir, even though it'll take me an eternity to play them.

Class of Heroes 2 fixes many things that were shit about the first.
And Silent Hill game was dogshit. You guys are dumb.
Eliminage was horribly translated and played like some old D&D dice rolling special fellow crap.
I enjoyed Gungnir, but it's pretty technical like most Sting games.
I think their easy mode should have been easier to satisfy the more casual audience.
I already finished Gungnir on nightmare difficulty with perfect scores on every level. But good luck to you, if you need any advice let me know.

Was also glad to see eight player slots for multiplayer- the other two Vita FPS games only allowed for four players online.

??? Call of Duty had 8 players. Unless you mean 8 on each team? Which would be a #gamechanger for the system, for sure.
Is the framerate as shitty as it looks in all the trailers? It's literally the biggest thing turning me off right now. Just need an accurate assessment, none of that "it doesn't bother me" nonsense. :tophat
Then why the hell were almost all the trailers so choppy?
The bubbles definitely look more smoother. I updated my unit.

Good deal?
Or get a 3DS instead?

I have more games for my Vita (not counting PS1/PSP stuff) than I do for my 3DS.

Since you are a tech fiend, the Vita is the better choice. But you better hope those 4 games are decent. Vita has nothing to play on it.
How much would I need to spend for a decently sized memory card?I wouldn't buy one smaller than 16 GB. It's $38 on Amazon.com.
Also, what are the big releases for the rest of the year other than Killzone?Tearaway is the only other big exclusive that has been confirmed for this year. Ys: Memories of Celceta is supposed to be this year and then you have multiplatform games like the remakes of Final Fantasy X/X-2.
There are maybe 10-15 Vita games that interest me but unfortunately half of them are available on PS3.The system is also great for PS1 and PSP games, and many of them are really cheap these days. First-party PSP games are often €8 and many third-party classics, like the Ys series, are €10.

the wii version is really good but i'm not sure about the psvita oneThe framerate is supposed to be poor, so I would like to try a demo before buying it.
I think the biggest issue with Ridge Racer was the lack of content. You have to buy the DLC to get a complete game.
Lets be real, all those games are pretty ass.
Why is Silent Hill Book Of Memories on there when a western dev made it? ???
does DLC usually go on sale with the base game, like how steam does it?

If DLC is 75% off, maybe I'll pick it up. Seems like it's the last of the classic Ridge Racers. I can't believe there's no PS4/XBO game :'(
What exactly is worth playing in that list?

Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds coming to PS Vita
August 11, 2013 / 11:14 AM EDT / Sal Romano (@salromano)
Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds
(http://gematsu.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/PBBG-Coming-PSV.jpg)
5pb. is bringing Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds, its Xbox LIVE Arcade chibi side-scrolling beat ‘em up, to PS Vita via PlayStation Network this winter in Japan, the company announced.
The PS Vita version will have a new guest character and new gameplay mode.
Looks at these Vitards and their lists. Good job demi!
It'll probably be $10, that's what it is on XBLA and Steam.
RUMOR: Japanese newspaper Tokyo Keizai reported a rumor that Sony is set to reveal a new PS Vita model in September before the Tokyo Game Show. The new model PCH-2000 will have a 6.3" OLED display manufactured by Samsung (screen size of the current model is 5"), and the resolution will remain at 960 x 554 pixels. The amount of RAM will increase from 512MB to 1GB, to allow more programs to run in the background, the amount of RAM used by games will be unchanged (meaning games are still compatible between old and new models). In addition, the design of the new model will be more in-line with the PS4 design; and the system will launch with new game titles.
Yeah, this thing is dead.
Think needs TV out! let's have it!
This happened because I just got a Vita.Note to self: wait a month or two after Oscar has bought something before buying it.
This is the sequel to my E3 2013 (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=592076) thread, showcasing the PS Vita at gamescom, later this year and into 2014.
Release dates are subject to change and/or errors!

Were people actually buying the $299 3G model?
I've mentally set the Vita's price to $250 for a year and thought this was a $50 price-cut.

Didn't they stop producing 3G models some months back? :lol Sneaky Sony marketing rightthur.
Bork's nintardesque spew just about crashed my browser.
Consoles don't ever really come back from the dead, they just usually become niche. But the PlayStation Vita, Sony's redheaded portable stepchild, is currently having its Lazarus moment more than a year after release; a solid second chance at relevance. It's a resurrection owed entirely to the indie community, a fact Sony's more than happy to acknowledge -- just look at the company's recent marketing and Gamescom presser for proof. But before we talk Vita 2.0 and the promising future ahead, let's rewind a bit to examine the missteps that almost pushed Sony's powerhouse portable off a cliff.http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/21/state-of-the-sony-ps-vita/
Dual analog sticks, rear and front touch panels, a 5-inch OLED screen -- the Vita was designed to impress and address the gripes gamers had long held for the PSP. Even the promise of PSN downloads for every game seemed to eradicate the dreaded physicality of the UMD, a proprietary Sony accessory. But then came the system's launch and history did a terrible bit of repeating: a $250 price point, prohibitively expensive custom memory cards, and a scant initial lineup. The Vita was stillborn and the stubborn Sony of old knew it.
For a while there, post-launch, it appeared as if the Vita was being mindlessly pushed down the same rabbit hole that swallowed the PSP, making it yet another smaller screen repository for console-like gaming experiences. The results of which gave us gems like Gravity Rush and Uncharted: Golden Abyss; games that played well, but also struggled to organically incorporate the Vita's unique touchscreen inputs. In reality, both were true PS3 titles with shoehorned Vita controls. But what else was Sony to do? It needed AAA titles to sell units, or so the company thought.
Holiday 2012 came and went and Sony's attractively priced Vita bundles (e.g., Assassin's Creed III: Liberation, Call of Duty Black Ops Declassified, etc.) helped keep system sales afloat, but it was still a far cry from a market share cure-all. And then the drought came. Vita games quite literally dripped onto PSN, forcing most early adopters to shelve the system altogether in favor of PS3 releases or the promise of the next-gen. Vita had become a write-off -- a misunderstood, but beloved hardware anecdote in the annals of gaming history. Fortunately, Sony had a vision in place to buoy the system and it began to lay the groundwork for the sea change to come. The company made several key moves to keep the system flush with attention: it eradicated the PS Mobile licensing fee for devs, dangled the tantalizing promise of Vita Remote Play as a key PS4 feature, introduced a dedicated indie portal on PSN and announced key indie faves as eventual ports.
Then came the Swedes. Guacamelee might seem like a fitting reference point for the Vita's about-face, what with its familiar 2D platforming mechanics and accessible gameplay bundled into a $15 PSN cross-buy. But it wasn't until Hotline Miami that Vita had hit its true tipping point. Here was a topdown, hyperviolent indie shooter, lovingly slaved over by a team of two from Sweden, that served up just the right type of addictive, snackable gameplay Vita gamers had been lacking. And it wasn't even an exclusive -- Sony had the game ported over from PC. No matter though, Hotline Miami had all the hallmarks of the PlayStation brand of yesteryear: challenging gameplay, a healthy dose of irreverence, a thumping techno soundtrack and a killer dose of edge enough to endear the hip squadron. Lightning had finally struck Vita and the press and public at large began to take notice. Sony had stumbled onto a lifesaving strategy and this was our first taste.
Still, Sony had more work to do if Vita was to gain traction, especially with gamers eagerly awaiting (and saving for) the bow of the next-gen; something the company had been publicly dragging its feet over -- namely, a major price drop. It may have taken Sony nearly two years to do, but the company finally caved, using Gamescom 2013 as the platform to announce an immediately effective $199 system price, as well as a slight reduction to the still outrageous MSRP for its memory cards. It wasn't quite the proverbial two birds with one stone many had hoped for -- that memory card price could stand to decrease more -- but it sure signals loftier times ahead for the Vita. Couple that with an indie release schedule that includes the likes of Fez, Minecraft, a sequel to Hotline Miami, Spelunky, Luftrausers and the Squee / Edward Gorey-esque Murasaki Baby, and the promise of PS4 Remote Play now seems a remote concern, though no doubt an invaluable added bonus.
It's fair to say that, right now, it finally feels good to be a Vita owner.
Nicalis' high-speed 2D fighter, Yatagarasu, is heading to the PlayStation Vita under a new name. Legend of Raven, as it's called now, was originally announced for the 3DS, but has moved development over to the Vita "due to the incredibly overwhelming response from the fighting gaming community," Nicalis CEO Tyrone Rodriguez stated in a press release.
Developed by ex-King of Fighters developers, Legend of Raven will have new features on the Vita such as parallaxing backgrounds, ad-hoc versus play, a new original soundtrack, and more to be announced.
We can expect this one sometime late 2013. Until then check out the gallery. The characters were all hand-animated by King of Fighters artist Kotani Tomoyuki!
Is this the first time that a game has been canceled for 3DS and moved to the Vita?

It's not really an interesting piece of machinery. It's a nice quality one, though.
Yeah, I'm with demi on that. It's a high quality piece of boring tech, with all kinds of features that were obviously put in to check something off a list, not because it was necessarily a good idea.
Not that that is anything unusual these days. Hardware manufacturers all make boring shit now.
That's what I figured. I'm just really trying to minimize initial extra expenditures for now because I already know that this was an unnecessary purchase. Though I am quite enjoying both Hot Shots and the PS+ pinball titles.
I still don't know why I did this.

Persona 4 is much worse than SMT4. It's more of a visual novel.

Throughout the whole game? I've been warned that it starts out dreadfully slow (something like the first several hours is all story). But assuming I survive that, you don't think it picks up? I've heard so much praise for the game. And I was honestly just interested to compare it to SMT.
Basically, Persona 4 is custom-made to hit your weaboo anime-tard gspot so hard that it makes your toes curl. If you're like demi and don't have an weaboo anime-tard gspot, then your enjoyment will be somewhat diminished.

Wipeout is awesome. As expected. Why this isn't the best-selling game on the Vita instead of one of the worst is a mystery for the ages.
P4G is the only reason to own this dead handheld.

It baffles me how badly Sony missed the boat on advertising Wipeout - they totally could have ridden the recent popularity wave of EDM in America. Back in the day (when hiphop dominated and hardly anybody listened to EDM), Sony had booths set up at US dance events (I still have a flyer of Tiesto playing the "PlayStation 2 Dual Play tour"). They could've continued this, set up some Vitas running Wipeout at events like Electric Zoo, EDC, and Ultra.
Wipeout HD has a surprisingly active community given its age.
Did the white Vita ever come to America?
the majority of titles can barely manage to have a peak of 15 players a few months, let alone years after release.
it never took more than a minute or two to fill up games, especially now with crossplay between the vita and ps3 versions.

Jetpack Joyride is fun. I played a lot when I first installed Windows 8.
My internet was being really flaky late last year/early this year and had issues loading a bunch of sites for a while. My phone's pretty junky and the site didn't load well on it so eventually I forgot I was a member, hah.don't forget us again then!
No one wants touch screen control though
it's okay, the vita library is robust enough that it could afford to lose some games

don't know why I'm earning these remarks from you this time, DC. I pretty much rip every presser to shreds. Heck, the last Nintendo one, Aeana got so pissed off at my negativity that we didn't speak for a week or so.
These things are almost always boring shitshows, and today's was no exception. You didn't even watch the damned thing.
You didn't even watch the damned thing.
Just got Uncharted from Gamefly. Lol.
OK.... so my Vita is powerful enough to stream PS4 games onto its tiny little screen.
One feature I really want from PS4 is to let me stream my Vita games onto my big screen using... get this... the VITA for the controller!
Why can't I play a touch screen game on my TV using the Vita's touch screen? Kind of like WiiU.
Or how about just letting me use my Vita as the controller with the Vita TV. I want big screen AND touch screen at the same time, please.
If the VitaTV can stream PS4 that would be a mega boner
Killzone is awesome. Been playing multi; about to try single player.
see, this is the problem with bork praising every vita fps, regardless of how good it is. i don't know if it's actually good or not this time!

He praised Black Ops declassified? Hmmm
i could expand that to say "every vita game" and it would still be mostly accurate
all i'm saying is that your endorsement doesn't mean a lot because you find a way to praise pretty much everything.

ehn, yuk it up, but Gameloft did a better job cloning the CoD experience on handhelds than Activision did.
Vita deserved a better CoD than that. There's no damn reason why it wasn't better. The friggin' Wii managed a decent version.
right, but even you say the right price for it is around $10ish. people were expecting a $50 experience for their $50. it was a hugely hyped release that should have had a lot of development time and a decent budget. instead, activision dragged their feet and cut every corner, like a child trying to squirm out of a promise to help with the chores. i won't argue that given the time/money the developers were given that they did their best. the fault goes solely to activision for creating that situation. but the end result was a game that failed to meet pretty much any reasonable expectations for a full-price, major SKU.

i don't put down games' quality because of sales data. that's a separate hobby for me. jeez, i pretty much subsist on games that are on the line or below it for getting localized because sales are so poor.
admittedly, i don't play as much as i did a couple years ago, but that's what two jobs and a family will get ya.
whatever your reason is, the end result is that you have positive things to say about pretty much everything you play. that's perhaps a good thing, but for people who are perhaps not as tolerant of shortcomings as you, your word on a game doesn't mean that much.
QuoteHe praised Black Ops declassified? Hmmm
so did i - and i still will.
The game has a ton of short comings : there's no true story mode - everything is done as short, arcade-style -one kill and you are out- missions with three levels of difficulty.
"YOU CAN FINISH IT IN 1 HOUR!" yup - you can - on easy. But as a pick up and play through on the harder difficulties and then playing it arcade style? It's fine - infact, it's better than fine - i'd say it's good* <--- but note, there's a star!
Online is disappointing in number of players and it has a serious issue with spawn control, but the map size meant you were in the thick of the action. Again - it was good for what it was but a big downgrade from a "full COD experience"
and that's where it all fell apart - people expected the full experience. I actually agree with the design choices that the devs took for single player and it gives the game replayability. The online though is only passable and the * point was the price. This needed to be a budget release for what it delivered - it needed either that-single-player-story-that-everyone wanted -or- a whole host more missions and a more fleshed out multiplayer to command the price it did.
However, game play wise ? it's plays like a good FPS. If you see it in the bargain bins? Go for it - you might be surprised if you go in with , say, $5-$10 expectations.
Is Killzone better? so far i've only played the opening single player segment - seems okay. Had to up the sensitivity, had to ignore the "furrr hig bersted!" character.
well, sure... if i remember back, the bone of contention was that bork felt it was the best handheld fps ever, and i felt the modern combat games on iOS were better and offered more content at less than a fifth of the price. there's value in anything if the price is low enough or money doesn't matter to a person.

I'm not 100% sure because my iPhone 4 won't run it, but I think the single-player only CoD that dropped last week on the App Store might be based on the Vita's single player mode.
Bork, honey: Call of Duty's port is garbage. Multiplayer is a clusterfuck with bad spawns (no "smaller maps" do not relive this complaint) and only 4 maps that aren't that great and a total clusterfuck to play in with killstreaks and shotguns. Add in the terrible aim acceleration and it's a double-whammy of bad.
That's before mentioning the terrible "spec ops" system they used for the singleplayer.

With nothing being played, it's hard to tell.
I like that the back touchpad is smaller on this new vita. You can't tell much from the videos except that the viewing angles and colors aren't too bad.
I'll wait and see how much it costs in the states before I decide. I might disassemble my vita and see if I can fix it before.
other than it IS garbage

It is kind of amazing that Wii U is getting CoD this year, and Vita isn't. Then again, for some reason (license requirement?) Activision's porting the 2012 Spider-man movie game to Vita now ...

You can get NFS for PS4 together with remote play, right?Yeah, remote play is going to be the dogs bollocks. I'd still have liked a native version though, for when I'm nowhere near an internet connection.
your save data. don't delete it.
if you have PS Plus, you can upload to the cloud. if you have a PS3 or PC, you can backup save data there. otherwise, you need to keep the bubble.
it's dumb, yes.
Not much "Unchartin" -- you only spend 2 levels in the actual tomb.
The silly tacked on Vita stuff (understandable, but still stupid)
The slide QTEs, especially when climbing.
The insane amount of collectables (really?)
Just a poopy Uncharted.
I hate that you pretty much have to use the gyro controls for aiming. Somehow they fucked up the analog-only controls.
Never finished it because of that. Maybe one day.
It's not that bad. I agree the touch-stuff needed to go and the aim acceleration needed to be fixed. But the boss fights once you knew the arrows was basically rote memorization and you only had to make sure the touch-screen registered the input to complete it.

QuoteWhat? That's what Uncharted Vita is! THIRTY FOUR CHAPTERS

but gameplay wise it was more SHOOT PEOPLE rather than HERE CLIMB ROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THIS THANG - plus U3 basically repeats itself.
Anyways, i enjoyed Vita more than U3 , though U2 remains king.
And gyro aiming is great when it's paired with solid controls. You can hit a nice balance of speed and accuracy. Uncharted GA has sluggish bad aiming and you rely entirely on the gyro.
:obama Does that include the DLC characters? Because for that price it's worth it.

A spokesperson for Capcom has told Polygon that the company is considering bringing Dragon's Dogma Quest to the U.S, Europe and other non-Japanese markets. The statement reads, "At present Dragon's Dogma Quest is only confirmed for release in Japan and we are currently evaluating if the title will be released in pan-western markets."
So yeah, famousmortimer said on GAF that an inFamous and Ratchet game are on the way. I don't really care about inFamous, but as long as the Ratchet game (which is probably a port of Into the Nexus) runs well I'm game.

I'd be interested in an Infamous game if it's done well. I have yet to play Infamous 1 and 2 so I wouldn't be bothered by a port, either.

A few retailers have listed Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus for Vita, so it's probably just that. Insomniac said they'd handle any future Vita ports internally, so hopefully it won't be a disaster like Full Frontal Assault Vita.
I'm not sure Bend would do an inFamous game. The last time they developed something that wasn't a shooter was like ... Bubsy 3D?
They have a template to work from, they'll be fine. Besides, when you get down to it, at least with Cole, inFamous isn't that far off of a shooter.
had no idea injustice was getting a port, awesome.

It hasn't officially been announced yet, but a bunch of retailers have posted up listings for it. Ed Boon pretty much confirmed it before the console version shipped too.
I remember when people thought that distinction would belong to Shinobido 2.
??? I don't remember much hate for Shinobido 2's graphics. It's on par with all of Acquire's releases, regardless of platform- I don't think people expect stellar visuals from them. It's a good game.

Older games are built for OLED, who knew!?
Show me the receipts with FFX or something newer, Bork. That's when the reverse will happen.
Just like it did with the DS revision in terms of colors.
I don't even:
- Activision announces full priced year and a half old Spiderman movie tie-in port for Vita.
- Next day Activision announces the followup to said Spiderman movie tie-in game for everything but Vita.
Lol. Would anyone really be excited to play Spider Man 2 on anything.

It's an awesome game and the touch screen actually makes it easier to play on Vita- you can use it to check for hidden loot/touch runes or command your thief partner to open stuff much faster than using an analog stick.
Plus it's getting cross-play!

My black 2000 finally arrived today. I've played around with it for the past hour, here are some brief initial impressions.
First, it feels fantastic. The rubberised grip on the back of the unit makes holding it very comfortable, and the button placement is great. The 1000 feels clunky in comparison. The L/R triggers are noticeably improved, and the face buttons feel a bit more clicky. The dpad feels a tad bit looser than the 1000, overall they are extremely close but right now if I had to choose which dpad I like better I'd go with the 1000. Overall the 2000 is the clear winner in comfort, and this is a big deal for me as I don't enjoy playing uncomfortable handhelds (such as the Vita 1000 and OG 3DS) for extended periods of time.
The screen looks far better in person than in any pictures or video posted online, which is why I am not going to bother posting pictures here. The colours are more subdued compared to the 1000's OLED, but it is a sharp, vibrant, high quality LCD with no ghosting or other noticeable flaws. Great viewing angles too, and no perceptible input lag. Side by side, the main difference I notice between the 1000's screen and the 2000's screen is the 1000 is brighter, with colours that feel oversaturated with a bit too much contrast. The 2000, on the other hand, sometimes feels like the colours are a bit too subdued. Something in between the two screens would be ideal, but this is really just being nitpicky. They are both great screens in their own ways. In fact, I have found PSP games look better on the 2000's screen, perhaps because the OLED exposes more of the artifacts/problems with the original graphics?
One thing that really stood out in my comparison was the difference in speaker quality. The 2000 model is so improved in this regard, it blew me away. The speakers are placed better so your thumbs do not block them (a problem on the 1000), but that is not all: the volume is nearly doubled, and the clarity of sound has been improved tremendously. Richer bass, clearer high tones, etc. I always had to use headphones on my 1000 because the speakers were such garbage, but not anymore with my 2000.
The feel in the hands, the thinness, the light weight, the microUSB charging, the extra hour of battery life, and the vastly superior audio quality make the 2000 model the clearly superior one for me. The screen is still wonderful, it's just not OLED. It's on par with the ipad Mini screen, for example. If you can deal with that, you'll love this. If all you care about is an OLED screen, you'll want to stick with your 1000. That's pretty much all it comes down to in the end.
The OLED is definitely a better screen than the 2000, but it's amazing how much better the 2000 looks than it does -out of the box- if you just drop the brightness down a notch or two.
Bought it because i want a light machine that i can just dump at work and download all the games i've already got to a second unit.
So now i have a White OLED and an all white 2000 for US, and a pair of black OLED. #Datvita? Dat Vita.
other minor downsides - my biggest grumble with Vita is actually the low volume output for headphones - i solved this with the OLED units by buying a pocket amp, ripping open a cradle and creating a horribly ghetto LOD and proceeding to TOUCH THE SKY whilst deafening myself. With the switch to the much more convenient B-type charge cable that avenue is gone - though, unless i'm crazy, the 2000 does seem a bit louder.
edit: If you have more things you want video of just let me know.
Played a few more hours last night before bed. Played some Hotline Miami, Uncharted, Lumines, Resident Evil 2, Spelunky, and EDF 2017. Since people are still asking here are some bullet points on the PS Vita PCH-2000:
- Speakers are louder by about 25% (as shown in 4th video)
- Headphone output is louder/more powerful by 25%
- The screen looks much better in person than on a camera
- Colors are still very vibrant (see video 4)
- It fits well in old cases since it has the same width
- Wifi seems better and FASTER (see video 4)
- 64GB card isn't faster
- The new cases for the Vita kind of suck. (Video 1 and 3)
- Brightness is more than bright enough
- I have no problem retiring my OLED
- Overall it is a beautiful console with a lot of improvements. I will not be missing the OLED.

Last year's Vita gave us around four and a half hours of gaming and Sony has promised at least an extra hour on the new model. In practice, we got up to eight hours of continuous gaming, and that's with brightness at 50 percent, WiFi on and several downloads during testing. This rocketed up to more than 12 hours when we played through less-intensive PSP and PS1 games. That's substantially better run time than we saw on the first Vita, and it beats Sony's own estimates, too; a pretty respectable run, we'd say. While we didn't time it, more casual use lasted around two days, and you can expect video playback to last roughly half a day. Regardless of whether you're thrilled to see LCD replace that OLED screen, we think the battery savings are worth it.
but that screen ..
Quotebut that screen ..
i keep seeing this and i can absolutely guarantee that anyone seeing the screen in real life will go "wait, this is frigging fine! what's the issue with this?!"
people are comparing it to one of the greatest screens ever made - it's still an absolutely great screen. Also - the "washed out colours" issue is solved by dropping the default brightness down and , as noted, the battery life is WAAAAY understated. 1 extra hour my ass.... try 3 to 4.
The short version: we preferred the OLED. Not only are the blacks blacker on the OLED (it's what we always say about OLED and AMOLED, but it's no less true), but also in-game colors appear more washed out and less vivid on the LCD. What's more, when we lay the two devices next to each other, everything on the LCD panel has a slight yellow tinge to it. If you drop the brightness down to the minimum, the LCD loses a lot in viewing angles, while the OLED model fares perfectly fine. At top brightness, it's more difficult to discern any drop-off in viewing angles. Even then, though, the difference between color reproduction on both devices is fairly obvious.
Cranked to full, the original Vita shows a bluish overcast on white backgrounds (see above), while the new Vita shows more accurate colors, at least while displaying photos and websites. In the middle of a game, though, we'd prefer everything on the screen to pop, and the OLED display does this best. But will you notice? Perhaps not.
Famousmortimer implied that Vita 2K will launch with a price cut in North America. I'm not sure SCEA will pull $149, but $179 should be guaranteed.

$179 with a memory card bundled would be good. A twenty dollar price cut by itself is just laughable.

How often does coffee refresh? 1 every 24 hours? Even Montezuma's BeJeweled wasnt this bad.
that looks like how i remember psp graphics looking
Lack of cross-play already makes it dead on arrival though. Then again, cross-play didn't help DOA5. But that's mostly due Tecmo/Team Ninja cutting it off at the knees to push out DOA5U quickly instead of fixing the matchmaking for that.
Street Fighter x Tekken is the only cross-play title with some life, unless "Wipeout's" sporadic life counts as "life."
Initial signs are not good - it will only let me log in with my Japanese account. I'm now updating the firmware to 3.00, but I'm not optimistic this will change anything.
Edit: Nope. With both my NZ and US accounts I get 'This service is not available in your region'. It is useless to me.
It runs at 60 FPS on Vita, right? That's the only reason I can think it looks that bad.
re: Vita Locking - more worrying is that it asks on set up "which region is this for use with" (only Japan selectable)
i don't remember that being the case with Vita set up - i thought it was all driven from the account login.

Tearaway getting a 9/10 from Edge, same score as Mario 3D World is pretty big deal. As a Media Molecule fan it'll be nice to see their amazing creativity get its credit this time around since despite LittleBigPlanet games being fantastic creative experiences that brought something new to the console gaming world, most people just went "floaty controls; game sux" and didn't give it a second look.
Can't wait to play it!

Considering the flack they got for LBP from certain people (aka, most of the people on this board), I'd be astonished if the controls weren't the tightest controls ever created in a 3d space.
Well, it's not like Vita doesn't have Soul Sacrifice Delta and Phantasy Star Nova on the way.
NeoGAF: It's okay to port beg Tearaway even though that port beg makes no sense, but ask for a game on a dozen different devices? Instant ban.
Oh well.
Passing Time, and Rymdkapsel are free in the PlayStation Mobile section. They're supposedly some of the better games on PSM. I haven't played either.
so soul sacrifice... decent enough to play?
The whole game is free. Just wondering if it was worth the playtime

Yeah, at first I was like "Woo, all digital future, only buy all my games on PSN!" but then reality set in. :'(
Ordered Unit 13 and Sly 4 for ten bucks each. Already had the latter digitally from buying the PS3 version, but I'll take a cart copy on the cheap to free up more space on my memory card. Some dude on GAF was actually arguing with me about this and saying it would have been better to buy an 8GB memory card instead, WTF? :lol

It comes retail with X only. However, there is a code included for X-2. Same price as PS3 - $40
It also supports cross-save.

That's for the best if you don't like handhelds to begin with and can only think of getting Persona 4. Might as well just emulate the PS2 version on PC!
Plus if you wait, the Vita TV should be released here next year and will be cheaper than buying the handheld.
tbh I don't think the vita TV is getting released anywhere else after its shit performance in Japan.

famousmortimer (that gaf leaker) said on his podcast sony was looking into releasing it exclusively to an online retailer or two
maybe i could see that happening? i don't know, though. scea has always treated the vita like an unwanted product that was forced on them by the japanese parent, i just can't see them wanting to go through all the crap that releasing that locally means, even in a limited release, when the japanese parent is likely going to be burying the thing themselves within a month or so.
It's also pretty fucking stupid how so many Vita titles have no Vita TV support. Killed most of my interest in it.
That's definitely part of it, since unreliable support is kind of worse than no support at all for the average customer. But I think Japan had circumstances kind of unique to that region, in addition. Specifically, Sony thought it would be a good idea, for some reason, to dive into a largely handheld market with a home-based machine whose functions are already served by a pre-existing handheld. There's no sensible market for the thing in Japan.

Right. And I feel there's no sensible market for the thing outside of Japan, either. It won't play the titles that people tout unless they patch out extreme overuse of the back/front-touch systems. So... what is the point in buying it?
They could've saved some cash and just put the PSP hardware in a set-top box if they were going to emulate PSP, PSX, and TV shows you know?
I don't feel there's a substantial market for that feature in Japan anyway. Have you forgotten what living spaces in Japan look like?
So Vita sales might pick up after PS4 is released then.
Seems that Wii U was banking on this idea too, but then worldwide.
According to the magazine, Vita sales rose by 68 per cent in the week of PS4's launch, and by 65 per cent the week after. It isn't known how many units that translates to, however.
Core gamers can be pissed all they want, but what other option will they have in Japan?
The same choice they've already made: 3DS, mobile.
Does anyone have Motorstorm RC? I only need "Wall Buster" trophy for Plat, which requires me to beat 10 challenges from a friend. It's bugging the shit out of me. I have 2 done right now, somehow.
I doubt it. Again, Japanese houses and apartments are quite different from Western ones. You can see it reflected in their purchasing habits. Most people are playing games outside the home. When they do play at home, it tends to be the family crowded around the TV.

It's going to be interesting to see how the PS4 does here. It's pretty much for the core gamers only, but most of the Japanese core gamers I know are really pissed about Sony launching here last.

What exactly happened in Japan to cause massive shift towards mobile(playing outside) gaming?I mean,PS2 software sold great and PS2 certainly required TV and some quiet space.
I almost like Japan was considering home console gaming as necessary evil...that got ditched at first opportunity
the fact that game i might actualy give a shit about always stays in japan but even the most unsellable idea factory game finds a way to come through makes me extremely sadYou'll get sadder when they stop making them at all.
I have to imagine Idea Factory games are super cheap to license.
On 30 September 2013, Idea Factory opened their international branch based in California, under the name Idea Factory International, Inc.
Deleting/commenting it out is more cost effective than hiring artists or buying photoshop to censor the art.

Tried Toukiden demo, got turned off when it's pretty much a MonHun clone, not unlike Soul Sacrifice, but Soul Sacrifice does it differently enough to be enjoyable.
Looks cleaner than Soul Sacrifice, though.
This was a very difficult decision since we work very hard to satisfy our fans and want to bring the same content being offered in Japan. However, Western society is not as lenient as that of Japan when sexual images are involved—especially images of humanoids that appear to be younger than a socially acceptable age. The borderline of what is “acceptable” will always be extremely gray and vary from person to person, but as a responsible company working in the U.S., we had to make the difficult decision that we did. We sincerely apologize for those who do not agree with any level of censorship, but we greatly appreciate your understanding with the decision we have made.

God of War 1 & 2 as wel as Sly Cooper Trilogy coming to Vita
PortStation Portable 2
TxK day !
I cannot contain my excitement.
Also Disgaea 4 Vita.
Also Disgaea 4 Vita.
Which is really the only thing to give a damn about from NISA... unless you want Dagan Ronpa... I guess...
Though I guess Dagan Ronpa can't be as terrible as Virtue's Last Reward. God, the story in that was awful... D.R.'s can't be as bad.
Vita is being discontinued from Target stores and will no longer be carried. New games will also not be carried in store. I heard that bestbuy might follow as well in the coming months.
----------------------
EndWar on PSP is actually an Advance Wars tactical game. Good price. Might pick up Lumines since it should make for good eye candy and tunes.

is danganronpa supposed to be like 999 and VLR? branching story mixed with puzzles
is danganronpa supposed to be like 999 and VLR? branching story mixed with puzzles
it's kinda like a more novelish phoenix wright,the plot is completly linear and basicaly the game is divided in chapters, in each chapter you wander around, talk to people and collect clue then at the end of each chapter there is a trial... the trial is made by several segments
- the segment that happens most often has other character saying statement and you have bullets that represent evidence,the statement float around and you have to shoot the wrong statement with the right clue so it's kinda like phoenix wright meeting a light gun game
- sometimes you get a simple multiple choice question
- sometimes the main character has to think about his answer so letter float around and you have to hits them to form the word representing the new clue
- sometimes one of the other character goes crazy and you have to play a little rhythm game to calm them down
- lastly at the end of each chapter you have to reconstruct how the event of the chapter played by sorting manga panels on this board,it's really cool

That actually sounds like something I'd like...except for that floating/"shooting" crap.
But isn't there an anime series based on this? Might as well just watch that.

I never paid attention to Oreshika/"Over my dead body" because, thanks to the wacky title, I thought it's from the same family that gave us Holy Badman.
I enjoy Badman, but man it gets hard.
Speaking of which, a new spinoff of that series comes out in North America today. It's F2P.

You can pirate a 3DS (as long as it's on 4.5 firmware, but they recently found another exploit on 6.3 firmware so that could change pretty soon) but honestly i can't convince myself to buy one... I told myself bravely default would be the game that would made me buy one but after reading the lukewarm impressions i went back to not caring

Do any of the improvements on that new Vita coming out make it the better buy than dat OLED version?
So you're supposed to be able to see you're activity through PSN when you're online right? Like if I check my friend list and a duder is playing Gravity Rush, he should appear as Online and Playing Gravity Rush right?
I ask this because I never appear online while playing anything Vita.
I only came across this because well.....I was trying to do some easy trophies with DoA5+. Yet it would never find a match even though over on my PS3(with another account obviously) I would be spinning my online wheels and connecting with other random players. I would try to send messages and invites, but they would never appear on my Vita. Meanwhile my PSN account on my Vita appeared online.
When I would come back a few hours, the invites and messages would appear on my Vita.
It's just kind of strange. I have no other online games to check this with. DoA5 isn't the best test, but I couldn't even match up myself on the vita vs PS3. The store and downloads all work and I believe I activated the Vita.
By the way, I did get the system used. So I can return it and get another one.
Huh, that's disappointing. I was considering getting another Vita when the BL2 bundle comes out, for PS4 streaming and because I had such a huge library of PS1/PSP digital games (and PS+ games I'd been "buying" through the webstore even without a Vita). Now a large chunk of that stuff won't work...again.
:rofl
Joe is two for two.
Connectivity! I heard Nintendo kids love it!
For a company that prides itself in listening to gamers, there's only a few other things they could've done to handle this situation worse than they have. Instead of being completely silent about it, they should've admitted to it being an error immediately.
Also, what the fuck is Androx?
cause sony hates pirates for using their cheap memory cards
Smfh, I'll be using that 8GB card for as long as possible.

No you won't. You'll break down and pay the $100 tax for 32gigs just like I did. :fbm
Or you'll be crazy and import a 64gig card because SCEA hates portables.
Lol, you arent gonna survive the struggle on 8GB. Expect to delete/re-download any new game you want to play.

Yeah, he might as well forget about downloading anything. Get enough games and even content updates are gonna make it a problem.
16 is doable, I use that. I've had to clear space, but its mostly for stuff I finished, so I have no desire to store it.
Only have 4 gig card. Physical media to the max!

It was the cheapest option when I bought my Vita. Right now I just have physical copies so it works. I mean I still have my PSP and all the physical copies for those games, so if I want to play a PSP games I'm good.Only have 4 gig card. Physical media to the max!
:o
The first Senran Kagura on Vita is getting localized, so I see no reason to want to import that.Was that announced? I know there has been obvious hints, but I didn't know it was confirmed. If it hasn't I guess it will eventually, but will it get a physical release?! I only got like 3.8 gigs here.

From those pics the LCD looks better to me. To each their own I guess.
I need a 64GB card. The struggle is getting too real, even with 32 gigs.
There seems to be a bit of a backlash against the pictures I posted on GAF. Clearly I have an anti-2000 bias. :dizzy

You forget, GAF is the last "safe heaven" for the system. Can't bad talk it there before SmokeyDave will be in to go "B-B-BUT IT ISN'T BAD GUYS!"
I've tried playing a few games on my 1000 model after a couple hundred hours on the 2000.
Not a fan of the color saturation anymore, everything looks off on the OLED due to the bad color accuracy.
At a casual glance though I can see how people prefer the OLED though due to the natural pop. But it doesn't work anymore for me.
am i supposed to see something other than the vita above has a darker screen and a more raunchy screenshot?
If you're a new buyer, I wouldn't hesitate to buy the 2000 model. Even though the OLED is superior, the 2000's LCD is still pretty high quality.Don't lie to me.

As an added bonus, if you purchase God of War Collection for PS Vita system via PlayStation Store, you’ll get the PS3 version for free via cross buy (and vice-versa).
Those are the PS3 games. Vita is like 3.5GB total
No worries, I know Santa Demi's fat sack will be waiting for me another day.

The Vita store is showing the BUY button now - check your Vita, chubby hubby.
Apparently they just removed the two PS+ trials, instead.
I'd probably sell it. People on GAF are paying up to $30 for it.

Remote play kind of sucks unless you're right next to the PS4, which sort of negates the whole remote playing aspect.
Decided to get Ragnarok Odyssey Ace last night. Same game as the original, but with more content added and the animation has been improved.

Results vary. I haven't tried it from outside my place, but I can get great results anywhere in my apartment. There are two types of remote play connection settings you can use, BTW. One based on your wireless network and the other directly connected to your PS4. The latter is the one that you need to be closer to the system for it to work well.

My main issue is that it isn't working.
If I connect the AC adapter the PS-button will turn orange for a second and then I get no response from it. I've tried to hold down various buttons for 5 and 30+ seconds without any change. When I asked the official support for advice I received a copy/pasted FAQ reply in a different language. I'm considering returning it to the retail store even though I'm out of warranty. It stopped working five minutes after I upgraded to the latest firmware and I suspect that there is a software related problem that is causing the issue.
Decided to keep Borderlands 2 and already wish I hadn't. This shit has been downloading since 9 this morning and still hasn't finished. Digital future.
The tiny ass start/select buttons. This is fixed in 2000, since they made the buttons bigger and easier to press.What issues do you guys have with the original Vita?
30 second input lag when I'm five inches from the system = terrible.

Well, I watched some videos and it looked okay to me, and I don't need the money or anything. I won't know if it's any good or not until tonight, apparently. I like the system, but I assumed Sony sorted out all this shit with their download servers. PS4 downloads fly for me. It's not on my end.
I just paused the downloads and checked my connection speed, I'm getting 12 down and 3 up on the Vita's Wifi, so it's not my internet, it's Sony's pure shit servers
"It doesn't ever happen to me, so it must be your fault."
Why don't you take a few comparison shots to really hammer your point home :lol
Soul Sacrifice Delta is out next week - digital only. Tempting to get it, I really got into the first one.
PSB: Soul Sacrifice Delta – is this an expansion, or a full blown sequel?
AB: It’s a very large scale expansion, but not a full blown sequel. There’s a lot for a Soul Sacrifice fan to sink their teeth into – no pun intended.
Soul Sacrifice Delta on PS Vita
PSB: What exactly can those fans expect from it, and when will we see it on shelves?
AB: Soul Sacrifice Delta brings many additions and enhancements to the original title – there are new monsters based on classic fairy tales with a dark twist, more sorcerers, maps, quest and spells.
But there isn’t just more of everything; we’ve made many improvements to the game mechanics with dynamic maps, adaptive and more complex AI for the monsters. The spell casting system has been overhauled too: you can now combine spells during battle to enhance them or create new ones, which adds a lot of variety and depth to the gameplay.
Soul Sacrifice Delta also introduces Grim, the third faction, and tells the story of their plot against the established order and the very nature of the world. Players can now choose to pledge allegiance to one of the factions, which have their own strengths, rewards and play styles, all of which reflect the faction’s belief.
Save data from Soul sacrifice including story progression, costumes, offerings, sigils, black rites, life/soul essence and lacrima (up to 10,000) will carry over to Soul Sacrifice Delta! So, if you transfer your save data from Soul Sacrifice, the story progression will carry over and you can continue on with your adventure in Soul Sacrifice Delta.
We’re planning to release Soul Sacrifice only on the PlayStation Store, on May 13th.
what's the process of transferring one vita's contents to another? replacing memory cards and logging in? I don't want to lose those ps1 games from the glitch

You can use the content manager to back up everything on your memory card to your PC and restore it to the new system. Use the USB cable to do this; doing it wirelessly will take forever if you have enough stuff on your card.
Okay, the DL speeds finally revved up and it finished. Tried it out for a few minutes. The framerate stutters somewhat in parts, and there's some texture pop-in, but this is very impressive overall. Looks a lot better on the Vita screen than videos reflect. It's BL2 in your hands, with a few concessions made. I could see myself playing through again using a different class/character than the one I used on PC. That text is microscopic, though, even with my reading glasses.
So the steps would be: transfer vita memory card contents to PC/PS3, erase memory card, transfer from PC/PS3 to new vita on new card?
You can't simply take the old card and put it in the new system?

So worth a buy at full price?
I find it very strange that they prioritized the screen resolution over the frame rate or visual effects. I guess the art style looked awful at subnative?
I want to start playing Soul Sacrifice again because it's the tits. Anyone else in? I figure I probably have to recruit friends since MP is probably pretty dead.
Soul Sacrifice is awesome. It's Phantom Dust Vita. Unlike those poopy Monster Hunter games Andrex posts about.

Maybe I should try out Toukiden. I also dislike how slow MH is. Does Toukiden have a worthwhile single player?

Toukiden has an expansion on the way so if you like the demo I'd suggest you wait a bit. I'm not sure it'll be localized but you'll only save money by waiting.
I played the demo and wasn't particularly enthralled.
I really wish they would have bumped up the text size in BL2. So, so tiny :(
The prerendered cutscenes in GoW :neogaf
Yeah, it sounds like its a pretty lazy port. Glad I got it for free though.
Oh man, this God of War port. I'm in Athens trying to get to the Oracle and I come across a swarm of zombie soldier guys that have me cornered me against a wall with a save point. Every two or three hits I'm pestered by a notification asking me if I'd like to save the game. My fingers aren't anywhere near the touch pad but it keeps on popping up. Eventually I just jump over the group and hit them at a different direction.
I really wish they would have bumped up the text size in BL2. So, so tiny :(

In the depths of a labyrinthine ruin, a young girl named Mion rises from a deep sleep. Lost, alone, and with no memory of how she got here or where her parents are, she is greeted by two fireflies—one composed entirely of light, and another who lurks among the shadows. By shifting between a world of light and a world of shadows, these two fireflies must work together to recover Mion’s memories and lead her out of the ruins, where voracious shadow beasts, ancient machines, and treacherous traps lie in wait to bar her path. But what secrets do Mion’s lost memories contain? What is the connection between her, the ruins, and the fireflies lighting her escape? The answers may reveal a deeper darkness—one that must be faced from within...
They're also localizing the FBI watch list game, Criminal Girls: Invite Only. Don't Google that one.

Robotics;Notes is set in 2019 on Tanegashima, an island to the south of Kyūshū in southern Japan. The game's theme is robots and the question "What would happen if you really tried to make a giant robot?"

the anime girls in most vita games are too small to handle them
I have it, havent sat down to attack it unfortunately.
Same.
Dead Nation could be contender for worst control scheme in forever.
From my understanding the game has to download the full game entirely. Meaning a demo that's essentially unlocked by one of those DL codes
Even Nintendo knows:

I want to know if Japanese games with Vita TV support will work on the Playstation TV. In theory they should, yes?
NLKS has a horrible frame rate, but if you persevere you'll find an enjoyable game.Guess I'll just be picking up Suikoden...
I have no issues with my 2000. Then again, I've never seen the OLED version in person.
Was there ever a consensus on which vita was better? The older oled one or the 2000 lcd? Yes, I know oled is supposed to be nicer, but did the 2000 have anything that made it a worthwhile upgrade. Gamestop has a trade in promo right now where the Vita is $110 base value on then a $50 promo coupon on top of that. Seems maybe worthwhile and I haven't been using my vita that much. I do have Senran Kagura on pre-order and I do like the oled screen so...
yeah, some of the 'incompatibility' sounds annoying. wipeout 2048 should work, but because it has touch screen menus, doesn't. same with shinobido 2. I wish there was an option that turned off the game limitation by simply acknowledging that the player might run into game ending spots.Yeah, I really feel that should have been the way they went about it. Just have a full disclosure that some things may not work, but thems the breaks.
They don't have to patch it out-- the Koei musou games actually get alternate controls schemes, made with the PS3 controller in mind, when played on the Vita TV. Capcom could do the same for SFxTK, but they won't. I mean, anyone who's going to want to play that on a TV already owns the console version anyway.
I think it's pretty stupid how so many games don't work, especially since you can simulate front and back touch by clicking the analog sticks. That's not necessarily practical when in-game, but it would still be nice to have everything actually load up.
I'm sure if the Vita TV wasn't a total bomb more games would have had support.

And now I own two 2000 models. Traded up my 1000 model for a 2000 at Gamestop, since they have a power-up pro coupon that adds $50 credit to the Vita trade in value (making it $160), plus I had a $25 off coupon towards any purchase. I didn't want to pay that $16 difference so I traded a few older games in and they ended up owing me $26 in credit. Sometimes Gamestop ain't bad.Is the 2000 model actually an improvement over the 1000 model (aside from the screen)? I sold my Vita a while back and I'm thinking about grabbing a 2000 model here in the future

I find it really dumb that there's restrictions at all. :P
I find it really dumb that there's restrictions at all. :P
I can understand there being control issues with Vita stuff, so that makes sense. There's nothing on a PSP that a Dual Shock can't directly do.
is there a simple guide to connecting to a dual shock 4 to it?
my review of the vita playstation tv: it's dumb in gameboy micro way. it's neat but why does it exist.
the interface on tv reminds me of the wii. psp games on a big screen look like ps1 games. vita games on tv look surprisingly not that bad. wifi speed is really slow compared to my vitas.
This Senran Kagura game is pretty fun and it looks pretty damn good too.
Special Message from the Producer, Kenichiro Takaki:
The Senran Kagura series will continue to run non-stop.
That is the calling of a NINJA.
They run faster and jump higher than anyone.
They can easily jump over people’s expectations.
These games still have the potential to grow big and large.
Just like the girls’ chests.
Tits are life, ass is hometown.
PS Now beta and Minecraft also launched today. PS Now says my Vita wifi connection is good enough but I don't believe that.
Native res and 60 FPS. It smokes the Koei musou games from a performance standpoint.Yeah reading some of the producer's notes for the characters....yeah he sure loves boobs. Can't blame him and I can't get offended with how over the top the fan service is. I've just done the character arcs so far, but it is really fun. I kind of like how short those missions are. A few groups of enmies and then the far more fun boss battles. I've never been able to get into Dynasty Warriors despite enjoying it's clones like Sengoku Basara, N3(yes sorry), and other ones. I tried DW8, but I just hate running around the drab levels and the named battles are usually not very exciting. Don't really have those problems with SK. So far as a brawler I'd say it's actually good. I guess the subject matter could really turn off people, but I like tna so whatever.
The physical version has this written in the art book:
again with whining about vita tv. in ninja gaiden you have to click the sticks and press the triggers to get the first person camera, and there are sequences that require tapping the rear touch pad. that's all during the action. yet wipeout, shinobido 2, etc. use touch screen for menus and aren't supported. vita tv is such a sloppy, illconceived thing.

Turns out that Senran Kagura works...no idea why the Xseed guy was saying otherwise. Was just playing it last night.
The December issue of Shueisha's V Jump magazine is announcing on Tuesday that a new Yu-Gi-Oh! game titled Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V Tag Force Special will be released this winter in Japan for the PSP. The announcement adds that the game will also be playable on the PS Vita system, and a downloadable version has been green-lit for sale.
The game will star the past five Yu-Gi-Oh! protagonists: Yūgi Mutō, Jūdai Yūki (Jaden Yuki), Yūsei Fudō, Yūma Tsukumo, and Yūya Sakaki. It will also feature the Pendulum Summoning system, as well as a collection of over seven thousand cards. This will be the first Tag Force game to feature Yūma and Yūya.
The last game in the series, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 6, was released in Japan for the Sony PSP system in 2011.
PSP-only in 2014/15ish?
what is wrong with you konami
I still can't believe that's coming out internationally. $15 per half I hear? Much more reasonably priced than I expected. Don't have a Vita tho. :tocry
Bon appeTIT, ha I just got it!
Had no idea Freedom Wars comes out next week. Will likely pick that up too!
EDIT: Did anyone here with a Vita dig Lumines: Electronic Symphony? The soundtrack for it seems dope and it's pretty cheap nowadays
Well, I've never played Lumines before, so I think I might just give it a go whenever I order some more Vita games soonEDIT: Did anyone here with a Vita dig Lumines: Electronic Symphony? The soundtrack for it seems dope and it's pretty cheap nowadays
It's more of the same Lumines. Didn't end up playing much of it for whatever reason.
Dis gonna get localized?
So how does Freedom Wars feel as a single player game? Does it feel like an actual full single player story or is it like MH where "yeah this is a co-op game"? I mean does it like have an actual plot, characters, and missions that feel like something that would be fun on your own?
Freedom Wars is really good. Was expecting a generic Monster Hunter clone, but it doesn't really feel that way. The controls are more akin to a regular action game and you get a 'thorn' on your arm that can be used as a grappling hook a la Bionic Commando and Lost Planet. You can use it to zip around walls/ceilings, latch onto enemies, or pull them towards you/tip them over. Definitely has more of an action game feel to it and the production values are pretty high for the Vita. Good graphics, solid frame rate, and fully-voiced dialogue. Haven't gotten to the online yet, but the game offers PvP in addition to PvE, making it stand out from other similar titles on the portables. Color me impressed.I've been quite impressed with it too (well, what I've played of it so far)
Tales of Hearts R releases next week
Physical only is exclusive at GameStop

Well they aren't really... random anime characters. Dengeki Bunko is a light novel publisher, and all the playable (and assist) characters sans Akira and Selvaria are from novels published by them. It's pretty much a JPN publisher-centric fighting game ala the Jump! Fighting games, Sunday X Magazine, DreamMix TV, etc.
:expert
Yeah, the sprites in that Dengeki game are looking huge.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=933937I don't think he's wrong. Sony's been pretty awful with the Vita. Even before the system was clearly dead I never felt like they tried much. In the west anyway. It dosen't matter I was never into the system for the western games anyway, but it's not like the Japanese side has been amazing. It's a very meh system honestly. I don't actually even know why I have one.

Damn some haters for Vita. Vita rules. Sorry you guys are jaded as FUCK
Santa Ana, CA (November 18, 2014) – NIS America is excited to announce that the puzzle action game, htoL#NiQ: The Firefly Diary will be available February 24 in North America as a PlayStation®Vita exclusive! Digital copies of the game will be available on PSN and physical copies will be available exclusively for the US through our new NIS Online Store. This title will also be available in Europe on February 25 as a digital-only release. In this atmospheric title, you’ll use the Vita’s touchscreen and rear touch pad to navigate a young girl through dangerous ruins. Two fairies—one operating in light, and the other in shadow—must work in tandem to uncover this girl’s memories and save her from the darkest of fates.
Cool, well I got PSP 2.0 and I dont own any of those MOE PANTSU games
Cool, well I got PSP 2.0 and I dont own any of those MOE PANTSU games
What titles beside Tales (which technically is Moe) is not MOE PANTSU on the system coming from Japan?
Dagon Ronpa and... that's about it?
Here's the thing: PSP, while a JRPG powerhouse (and I loved it for that)... had a variety of genres and titles that didn't feel like "Moe crap" from Japan.
You can't tell me the Vita will get:
Killzone: Liberation
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (which was techincally a Monster Hunter-style clone)
Phantasy Star Portable (grand-daddy of Monster Hunter)
Monster Hunter: 2nd/3rd G Portable
DJ Max 2/3/4 (because the developer of the Vita version is dead now aren't they?)
Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together
Persona 1-3
Burnout
Metal Gear: AC!D 1 or 2.
While there's one Tales of for the Vita there's about twenty "Akiba's trip"-level of crap that creeps the people that bought the system for various-shades of games from the system. That's the problem the Vita has.
According to the ads, “It’s a problem as old as gaming itself. Stay home and just keep playing, or get to work on time so your coffee breath boss doesn’t ride you like a rented scooter.” For gamers who face that dilemma, Sony Computer Entertainment America marketed its PlayStation Vita as the solution. But according to a settlement announced by the FTC, Sony didn’t deliver on its promises. The lawsuit also charged that Sony’s ad agency, Deutsch LA, had employees post rave tweets about the PS Vita without disclosing their connection to Deutsch or Sony.
Even for gamers who wear out the upholstery in front of the PlayStation, every now and then, they really do need to get off the couch. But how can they keep playing since they can’t take the console with them? Enter the PS Vita. According to the ads, “With Cross Platform Gaming, you can play your PS3 game, pause it, then pick up right where you left off on your Vita.” What’s more, Sony’s ads led people to believe that buying the 3G version – which cost an extra $50 plus monthly fees – would let them engage in live, multiplayer gaming.
So what’s the straight story? The FTC says Sony exaggerated the Vita’s capabilities. In fact, users can’t easily access their PS3 games on the PS Vita. Most PS3 games can’t be played remotely because Sony didn’t specifically design the remote play feature into the PS3 system. For example, the popular PS3 game Killzone 3 was featured in a Sony video about remote play, but was never playable remotely on the Vita – and very few, if any, games of a similar size and complexity worked with the remote play feature.
What about pausing on the console and picking the game up where you left off with the PS Vita? Good luck with that because according to the complaint, the heavily hyped cross platform feature was available for only a few PS3 games.
Here's an example of how things actually worked – or didn't work – for many users. Ads for “MLB12: The Show” promised gamers "NEVER STOP PLAYING" and touted "Cross Platform Game Save" that let users "Play on your PS3 system and then continue your game on the go with PS Vita." But users could pause the game on their console and pick it up on their Vita only after they’d played the entire game – all 9 innings. In addition, Sony didn’t tell gamers that to use this feature, in most cases they had to buy two versions of the same game – one for their PS3 and another for their Vita.
What about Sony’s claim that users could engage in live, multiplayer gaming through 3G? Actual game play delivered less than the company promised. According to the complaint, PS Vita users are restricted to “asynchronous” multiplayer gaming – a fancy word for “My turn, then your turn” – and can’t engage in games that feature live, simultaneous play.
The complaint challenges Sony’s ad claims as false or misleading. To settle the lawsuit, the company has agreed to offer buyers $25 in cash or a voucher for $50 worth of merchandise from a group of Sony products and services.
The FTC’s action against California-based Deutsch LA charges that the ad agency knew or should have known that certain cross platform and live, multiplayer gaming claims for the PS Vita were false. But the allegation of interest to most businesses focuses on the ad agency’s deceptive use of social media to promote the Sony product.
According to the complaint, about a month before the Vita debuted, one of Deutsch’s assistant account executives sent this email to all Deutsch employees:
Fellow Deutschers –
The PlayStation Team has been working hard on a campaign to launch Sony’s all-new handheld gaming device, the PS Vita, and we want YOU to help us kick things off!
The PS Vita's innovative features like 3G gaming, cross platform play and augmented reality will revolutionize the way people game. To generate buzz around the launch of the device, the PS Vita ad campaign will incorporate a #GAMECHANGER hashtag into nearly all creative executions. #GAMECHANGER will drive gamers to Twitter where they can learn more about the PS Vita and join in the conversation. The campaign starts on February 13th, and to get the conversation started, we’re asking YOU to Tweet about the PlayStation Vita using the #GAMECHANGER hashtag. Easy, right? . . .
In response, Deutsch employees used their personal Twitter accounts to hype the PS Vita through tweets like:
"One thing can be said about PlayStation Vita . . . it’s a #gamechanger"
"PS Vita [ruling] the world. Learn about it! us.playstation.com/psvita/#GAMECHANGER"
"Thumbs UP #GAMECHANGER – check out the new PlayStation Vita"
"This is sick . . . See the new PS Vita in action. The gaming #GameChanger"
"Got the chance to get my hands on a PS Vita and I'm amazed how great the graphcs are. It's definitely a #gamechanger!"
The complaint alleges that Deutsch’s failure to disclose that tweets were from employees of Sony’s ad agency was deceptive.
Interested in weighing in on the proposed settlements? File your comments about Sony or Deutsch by December 29, 2014. If you have clients (or gamers) with questions about the program to get cash back, the proposed order requires Sony to email eligible consumers.

Where are you finding these prices? Are they listed somewhere? PSN isn't advertising this.
Anyone played Oreshika TB? seems kinda mehYeah, I got it and it's pretty fun. Not groundbreaking or anything but solid fun and a bit different from traditional linear JRPGs.
For reasons unknown Ubisoft is releasing a physical version of Child of Light in North America on Vita this month: https://twitter.com/patrick_plourde/status/575041816753475585
It'll be $20.
Vita thought of the day:
Helldivers works really well, probably better than Destiny did. Without the gay monetising aspect as well.
Unit 13 is like 5 euro now, Im tempted.
don't forget to get the Vita goty you guys
