Vita Thread

[Shaka Khan]

I just wish they green light a Gravity Rush sequel. So if porting the original is necessary to make that a reality then by all means, do it Sony.

[bork]

Shaka- definitely.

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

It was originally designed to be a PS3 game but was switched midway through development.  I'm sure they will get it to work.

I know that.   And again- you can play the game without using the gyro stuff...it's just that it plays that much better with it.  A PS3 port with Vita control would be perfect.

[Owl-faced Wizard]

The gyro in the ps3 controller could replicate the gyro in the vita no sweat.

[Tasty]

Then you'll pick one up at least

Yeah, no matter what I'd need one by the time Pokemon hits just to stay on top of things. With the other games I know I get a better deal waiting a while before picking them up, but with Pokemon, since I play it half for the multiplayer and the community is strongest within a month of the game's launch, I'd need it as soon as it's available to get maximum enjoyment.

After having one rough transition from my OG to the XL I'm nomnomnoming it. Pull the trigger, Andy.

Getting paid once a month + roommate possibly moving out = Andrex not being able to thrill spend until like October 

[Shaka Khan]

Fuck this gay earth.

[archnemesis]

Aw, that sucks. I was really looking forward to a PS4 Wipeout. Hopefully the developers can start up a new studio and continue with their work.

[Takao]

Psygnosis/Studio Liverpool is no more.  :'(

Why couldn't they take Guerilla Games instead  :'(

You and I both know why: Government Subsidies

[pilonv1]

Reports claim that Sony Liverpool was working on two PS4 titles - a new WipEout and a Splinter Cell type game http://t.co/QBAlIs7g

dammit

Fuck this system, fuck Sony and FUCK WOLLAN.

They owe me 400+ bux.

[Purple Filth]

they're... doing a slow roll-out?   

monkey paw said all of their games were ready to go, but i only see one of them on that list.  so is sony holding them back or just not mentioning them?

Apparently some of the games not listed can be transferred via PS3

if thats true then 


Edit

Yep. They work and all boot up.

And you can transfer over your memory card saves from the triple as well.

Wollan?

Wollan was Jack Tretton's gaf account.  100% serious.  There was some pretty serious fallout at SCE when he got banned.

every time i turn on shaka's vita i think, "god damn, i really wish i had a psp again.  ...but NEVER a vita."  especially now that gravity rush is (prolly) being ported.  this system's gonna end up with a library that's comparable to other systems that have bombed this hard.

[Takao]

Most of them work via PS3 transfer. SCEA's just being an ass to make it appear as if the Vita store actually gets stuff every week. Europe, and Japan have hundreds on their Vita stores right now. Ugh.

It just keeps getting and

Unbelievable.

[Takao]

Changing accounts on Vita is pretty shitty as it was. Everything would be reset so you'd have to watch the intro video, get all the noob hints telling you how to use stuff, it'll mess up your bubble placements, erase local trophies and app data. So it comes as a surprise that Sony made that process even shittier. That said, if you just pop out the memory card and pop it back in after using the other account and your stuff isn't erased I'd be slightly less peeved. Slightly less because Sony's memory cards for this thing are insanely priced.

Edit: Nope, that shit still changes. What a stupid thing to do.

[Cerveza mas fina]

As if proprietry mem cards werent bad enough now this  Motherfucking Sony

[Purple Filth]

Memory Cards are now locked to your account.

Haha wut.

That was always the plan but this was a workaround of sorts where the user could keep all his shit in one place but had to suffer with seeing the intro video and re-adding data, fixing bubbles, etc.

Now Sony has removed that workaround 

[Trent Dole]

buuuh so now if you do multi region stuff on different accounts you'll need different cards for each? 

[Purple Filth]

buuuh so now if you do multi region stuff on different accounts you'll need different cards for each? 

Yep, looks like they want more memory card money

[archnemesis]

Custom firmware can't come soon enough.

[Bebpo]

I don't even follow Vita news anymore.

I got my Time Travelers, I got my few launch games and I'll get my Ys4r and Zero no Kiseki w/voice edition.  After that the system is dead to me and I figure all my gaming from Japan will be on the 3DS most likely.

[archnemesis]

Are you not interested in Soul Sacrifice? If you didn't play the PS3 version you might want to consider getting Atelier Totori too.

@Borys: There are several threads about custom firmwares and emulation on NeoGAF. They don't have any issues with it.

[Bebpo]

I have Totori on PS3  and Soul Sacrifice seems like a Monhun multiplayer thing and I stick to SP gaming.

[archnemesis]

It doesn't seem like they'll add much new stuff to it, so I'll probably not get it either. Even though I never really got into the Monster Hunter genre I want to try out both Soul Sacrifice and Phantasy Star Online 2.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Well, why not?  Sony knows that this thing is a turkey and probably won't last past next year.  This is the time to do shameless cash grabs as the ship is sinking.  Why not sell a few thousand more memory cards in the process?

[bork]

It's all pretty sad.

Wonder how the Hatsune Miku game will do this week?

There's Ragnarok Odyssey, too...whenever the hell that finally comes out here.

[archnemesis]

Yeah, that looks sorta okay I guess. The enemy AI seemed a bit simple when I watched a live stream from the Japanese launch.

[Huff]

decent deal (72$) on the 32 gig memory card if anyone as unlikely as it may be was holding out for one

Ya wow PS1 games. Sure is Sega in here

[bork]

You can transfer a large amount of PS1 games from a PS3 to the Vita, just like with some of the PSP games that didn't show up on Vita PSN.  The only PS1 game I'd be sort of excited to play on the Vita is the original Ape Escape...just because it would finally have dual analog control again.

Speaking of Sega, Project Diva F came out today and seems to be popular enough to have gotten some lines queued up.  I got my copy...time for some ugguuuu rhythm action.

[Positive Touch]

Sure is Sega in here

 

[bork]

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?

[Himu]

Played a Vita today. First time. Really impressed with the hardware and graphics. Love the sticks, the d-pad, and the REALLY clicky face buttons. Love the screen, all of that. Shame it's not what the 3ds was.

yeah - especially when you can play -almost all- PS1 games on a hacked PSP with popstation. Okay there's DAT DUAL ANALOGUE thing but even still - most games don't need it

[Van Cruncheon]

psone games are still playable? gross!

[Takao]

yo man I can play klonoa while in my backyard

all is good in the world

Okay, I could've done that months ago.

I've been doing the Popstation thing for years, don't understand why people are excited for this

It must be all of the people who had "moral issues" against using CFW on PSP.   

Considering that I can use almost any PS1 game I want to on a CFW PSP, it's much better.  Let me know when Ghost In The Shell, Tobal 2, Bust-A-Move Dance And Rhythm Action, and Panzer Bandit are on the American PSN store, Sony. 

[Sho Nuff]

My favorites are Tempest X3, Pro Pinball, MGS VR Training

[bork]

Wouldn't MGS VR Missions be a no-brainer for the store?  Why is it not up?

Apparently all is not lost yet for Sony (until the hackers get that access somehow)

"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."
