I think I need to think about some things for a while. Until I've thought them through, I won't be around here. Be back soon though.

Back to your regularly scheduled Vita thread in progress.

HOW special fellow? SO special fellow.

is monster hunter really not coming to vita waht about that leak

Ive REALLY tried to like the Monster Hunter series but I just dont fuckin get it- its tedious bullshit horrible controls fuk!

[MyNameIsMethodis]

controls like any other 3rd personj action game on vita. although the bows have horrendous controls

[Takao]

I found it's better to play it on Vita, but due to the camera being programmed for a d-pad it makes un-natural jumps to zoom in and stuff. A native Monster Hunter for Vita would be nice, even if I don't care for those games. But lol Capcom.

[magus]

with my experience of MH3 wii,i can say it's not true that it takes all that times to get the ball rolling,maybe an hour or two
i like the "farming" shit,it kinda makes you feel like you are making preparation for the big one

if anything all the tutorial quests are what needs to go,just make the player punch a great jaggi from the start and be done with it

monster hunter only *clicks* if you play it multiplayer,playing it alone is pointless which is why i'm annoyed the 3DS version doesn't come with online

It's Animal Crossing with cliptastic combat.  It is a bad game.  But the monsters look rad and pigs are cute so yay.

[Shaka Khan]

What the fuck happened here? what's with the outrage over insider shit?!

OG Super Monkey Ball was cool, shame about all the other versions.

[pickle]

  Yea man, lets use something reminiscent of balloon fetish softcore to sell our game. It's be all good!

[Bebpo]

Well, this is the country where adding the ability to marry & have kids with 10 year old lolis is what finally pushed up Fire Emblem's sales!

The Japanese market scares me these days

DJ Max Technika is coming out this summer in NA. That's a lot sooner than I expected... they won't be liquidating Vitas by then.

They should release it in the US as Game of Thrones 3DS.

[Verdigris Murder]

When's P4 coming out? It's this summer?
Should be totally sweet.

[archnemesis]

June 14 in Japan.

[Verdigris Murder]

Cool. So it should be July in the UK then!

[archnemesis]

I'm hoping we'll see it in September.

http://www.gamespot.com/news/bioshock-for-ps-vita-on-back-burner-6373628

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.

[Takao]

Ken should just come out and say the game doesn't exist, and probably won't.

[Takao]

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.

Ooh, looking forward to years from now when some collector holds an unfinished build's rip for ransom for thousands!

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Resident Evil PSP existed, they just quickly ported it to the 3DS and thats what REvelations is.

Ah right, I was thinking of the one that was on a Game Boy variant.

[Tasty]

Nah, they ported it to PS360 and it became ORC.

[Tasty]

Huh always seemed the most likely for me. Slant Six is a known PSP dev, Capcom announced PSP RE, goes quiet, all of a sudden announces a new PS360 RE by Slant Six coming out in less than a year that plays almost exactly like their PSP game. I mean, seemed kind of straightforward.

But who am I to question someone's sources.

[Bebpo]

Resident Evil PSP existed, they just quickly ported it to the 3DS and thats what REvelations is.

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.

[cool breeze]

since there isn't really vita news, might as well use this thread to post some for psp.

Nayuta no Kiseki is sounding real good.  New Falcom action rpg series.  GAF thread has more words: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=470163




Though it would be great if Falcom did native res / "HD" version for Vita.  That's happening with Zero no Kiseki.

Does he have sources inside capcom?

[Tasty]

Yeah, for some reason in my gut I find it unlikely Rev was originally for PSP. Dunno why.

IIRC Falcom stated that it was easy for Pyramid (the Patapon people if anyone's wondering) to do Zero no Kiseki on Vita because Falcom does their work in resolutions higher than PSP. If that was the case for Zero, I'd find it hard to believe it would change for future games.

[Owl-faced Wizard]

I thought Patapon on internally developed.  Huh.

[Takao]

I thought Patapon on internally developed.  Huh.

Japan Studio is very much like Sony Santa Monica in that it only works on one or two projects fully, but helps out with a bunch of outside projects.

[Owl-faced Wizard]

I thought Patapon on internally developed.  Huh.

nah, it would have taken at least three years longer to make if it were internal

Kinda wish they had taken a bit more time with the Patapon games.  They kinda ran that series into the ground.

[Takao]

I actually really liked Patapon 3. Focusing on a single hero made the game more enjoyable to me. I also got to play it with a couple of friends which does help.

[Shaka Khan]

iirc Patapon 2 was the series offender; it was a solid game, but felt more of an expansion or what the first game was supposed to be in the first place. I haven't yet played the 3rd, but I've nice things about it. The series is the best Sony franchise on the PSP, afaik. Too bad it took them so many tries to get something right, that by the time it came to be, people around the world stopped giving a shit about the PSP.

[Sho Nuff]

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.

Hmm, but Japan in general doesn't?

[ManaByte]

So apparently PSX support existed for a few minutes in EU and then was pulled.

[Takao]

Nah, the Buzz Lightyear game wouldn't actually boot. All you'd get to see is the PSone Classics LiveArea.

[Bebpo]

Yeah, for some reason in my gut I find it unlikely Rev was originally for PSP. Dunno why.

Fwiw I don't think Rev was a PSP title either.  Was just putting it out there.

[bork]

A local Best Buy broke street date on Mortal Kombat.  Picked it up and despite the large visual downgrade (missing detail, obvious non-full Vita res, lower texture quality), the game runs at 60fps and plays exactly like the console versions.  All of the game's content is intact, so you get a bunch of single and multiplayer modes, plus a new bonus challenge tower.  Haven't been able to try online since like five people have the game right now, but if it's up to par I'll be "retiring" UMvC3 and BlazBlue.  This is more fun.

To be fair, it's also rare in America to find a coding house doing everything perfectly.

[bork]

MK's visuals are getting trashed on multiple forums:







It does look good in motion, however.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

if it runs at 60 fps who cares

[Bebpo]

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.

What. The 3ds is good for two things: Nintendo games and squashing spiders.

Wow so ugly, looks like it's running on the iPhone 3GS

I meant more the "good coding practices" than the "Western" part, obv.

[Van Cruncheon]

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

Made sense in the past...now we have portables that can keep up with the consoles in terms of features.  It's awesome having portable fighters -with online play- on the go.

People are just judging based on screens (protip- Tekken 3D looks worse than its screens!) and not in motion, plus they are ignoring the oodles and oodles of content.

You in particular would like MK for all the single player features it offers, Bebpo.

if it runs at 60 fps who cares

You'd think!

my favorite moment of the past two weeks: "you are aware that you're shipping a debug build, right?"
