Vita Thread

[archnemesis]

Maybe I'll pick up Soul Sacrifice instead.

[maxy]

Good news for few Vita owning people that plan to buy PS4.

EG

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.

[hampster]

I hope they release a Vita XL with the extra buttons (or a cradle). I don't want to use the back touch screen for R2/L2

[bork]

You should definitely be picking up Soul Sacrifice before you even drunkenly entertain the notion of Toukiden.

Why is that?  Toukiden isn't out yet and the demo is supposed to be for an old build.  Isn't Omega Force behind this game?

[bork]

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.

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.

[Smooth Groove]

2nd and 3rd J&D have much better graphics

It'd be pretty impressive if the Vita could run them at 60fps

Even if new games stop coming out for the Vita, I'm still gonna get one this year if Sony could keep releasing high quality PS2 ports

[Madrun Badrun]

They are also much better games.  Jak 1 is a pretty ps1 game in terms of gameplay. 

[Don Flamenco]

It'd be pretty impressive if the Vita could run them at 60fps

It could if they'd put some effort into the port

[frod]

what happened to cross buy? is that idea dead already?

[demi]

It's still being used. Mostly on indie/PSN titles.

[bork]

Hotline Miami next week is supposed to have it IIRC.

Muramasa is next week, too.

I think that's been confirmed by Kass.

Whoops, looks like I was wrong.  Jak 1 is choppy as shit and the once tight controls on the PS2 version now resemble Methodis' mom's vag in terms of sheer looseness.  Apparently other reviewers picked up on the input lag and questionable frame rate.  It's damn near unplayable.  A shame since I liked the PS2 original.

Oh well, another $30 pissed away.

[Bebpo]

And it's a 2d no budget game because there's no point in sinking money into the Vita-hole at this point

http://www.siliconera.com/2013/06/25/gust-developing-new-rpg-chronos-materia-for-playstation-vita/

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.

you fucker! time screwing plot are my favourite! why you must grief me so much gust!

Uguu Trigger

[mjemirzian]

Vita on its last legs even in Japan? I guess this upcoming TGS is the last hope for any big game announcements.

[archnemesis]

It's currently selling on par with the PS3 and twice as much as the Wii U. It could certainly do a lot better, but it's far from dead.

[thisismyusername]

It won't. I doubt anyone wants to play PS4 titles with the L/R2 functions disabled.

[Shaka Khan]

I love my 3DS as much as the next one, but that status quo sounds fucking horrible.

[MCD]

I'm still waiting for 3DS Lite, Nintendo. Not buying your XL bullshit.

And make it region free while you are at it.

[Shaka Khan]

Poor Sony has no stakes in either.

[MCD]

Only poor indies support Sony.

[thisismyusername]

So, I'm playing Virtue's Last Reward and I'm not really feeling it. I never played 999 so that may be part of my issues but I don't really like the writing and the "escape" bits aren't too fun to play in comparison to the Ace Attorney games for me. With all the hype this series gets I really want to enjoy it but so far I just... don't.

I'll give it more time but I'm not feeling it.

[mjemirzian]

The writing was on the wall for Vita as soon as it couldn't play Android apps or work as a cell phone. Even then I didn't expect it to do so poorly in Japan. I thought it'd be at least a PSP replacement and get some decent Japanese dev support. Oh well.

[bork]

DOOM N' GLOOM IS BACK!  Missed that in this thread! 

Got Muramasa yesterday.  Forget the new translation, this version is better simply because you can completely customize the controls and make it play much better than it did on the Wii.  It's nice having an actual button for jumping and being able to use the triggers to dodge now.

Why would anyone want something that large and bulky, with that OS, and with that kind of battery life, as a cell phone?

Dat teaser image. Give it to me now

It looks a bit basic but I would certainly buy it if it was localized.

Nice cutout alpha blending

AND NIS IS BRINGING FUCKING DAN-GAN-RON-PA OFFICIALY,THERE IS AN ANIME,AN OFFICIAL TRANSLATION AND A COMPLETE LET'S PLAY,YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE TO NOT GIVE A FUCK ANYMORE! PLEASE BE EXCITED!

http://www.allgamesbeta.com/2013/07/nis-america-announces-western.html

and some dungeon crawler for vita is coming too

[bork]

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.

[archnemesis]

I think most of PSP's medium budget franchises would sell well on the Vita.

[archnemesis]

Are there any Gundam or Musou games announced for the Vita?

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Warriors Orochi 3 is supposed to hit the Vita soon.  Contains some additional stuff over the other versions.

Warriors Orochi 3 is supposed to hit the Vita soon.  Contains some additional stuff over the other versions.

It's Musou Orochi 3 Ultimate heading to Vita and PS3.  Supposed to have a new story and even more characters being added, while including the extras from MO3 Special and Hyper from PSP/Wii U.

The game is coming out in September.  Can't wait for it since One Piece Kaizoku Musou 2 is pretty much perfect on Vita.

[bork]

Are there any Gundam or Musou games announced for the Vita?

Gundam Breaker was announced, but there's no release date yet.  It's out on PS3.

For once, instead of porting the PSP version up, they ported the Vita version down.  I think that helped a lot.

They've done that before with Sengoku Musou 3Z and Musou Orochi 3 Special, porting down from PS3 to PSP.  Koei generally does pretty well with their ports (Warriors Orochi 2 on PSP was amazing), but the PSP's age is really showing.  Still, Toukiden actually looks OK in videos.

[Shaka Khan]

Hmmm, might finally buy Growlanser and Gungnir, even though it'll take me an eternity to play them.

[magus]

gungnir is awesome,i stopped playing halfway trough because there was a mission i simply couldn't beat properly (getting the best ending requires you to use a particular unit who's somewhat frail and you have to keep it alive trough the whole game) as i said i usualy don't like SRPG but there is so much shit going on with that game that i could write the biggest wall of text explaining all the gigs and tricks involving the game

riviera is also a good game if you fella still haven't played it even if it's like a thousand year old,be carefull because the game is rated L for anime loli as it involve wooing and dealing with a party full of them

All these are pretty good. Surprisingly, Crimson Gem Saga can go for as high as $40 on eBay. There is an iOS port, but it doesnt work anymore on newer iOS versions.

I don't fuck with digital games though, so I'll just pull out my PSP to play these.

[thisismyusername]

I'll probably pick up Class of Heroes just to support Atlus [strike]and not buy 2 because of Victor Ireland[/strike].

But yeah, anyone that liked Silent Hill's demo should think of picking that up for sub-$10.

[demi]

Class of Heroes 2 fixes many things that were shit about the first.

And Silent Hill game was dogshit. You guys are dumb.

i tried class of heroes 2 for a while and it's still slow and ugly as shit

IF YOU WANT A DUNGEON CRAWLER GET ELMINAGE YOU DUMB FUCKERS

[thisismyusername]

Yeah but Class of Heroes 2 isn't on sale so... 

[demi]

Eliminage was horribly translated and played like some old D&D dice rolling special fellow crap.

[magus]

Eliminage was horribly translated and played like some old D&D dice rolling special fellow crap.

there has been a patch which supposedly fix some of the translation but yeah... most of the dialogue is fine but the menu are all janky,but well if you went trough suikoden 2 you'll do fine with this one

as for the part for playing like some old D&D dice rolling special fellow crap... ah-ah! no! elminage might be the most noob friendly dungeon crawler i've ever played and the game literaly submerge you with loot,there is loot everywhere and it's all rendered in amazing 2D illustration

[mjemirzian]

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 think their easy mode should have been easier to satisfy the more casual audience.

it is exactly because it's technical that i like the game so much,it's also one of the sting games that put the least amount of pressure on the player,no weapon that gets broken or unit that get lost forever and things like that

anyway i've started my replay with the intention of actualy finishing the game this time,anybody going to join me?

[mjemirzian]

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.

woah i kind of feel bad for quitting trough normal and no fuck given on rank
last time i stopped playing on that mountain mission with pamela and the bandit guy,i simply couldn't keep whatshername alive and it frustated me a shitload

[mjemirzian]

Don't feel bad, play whatever you enjoy. It is a bit of a gimmicky game. Direct damage rarely works, it's all about status effects, DoTs, or ringouts.
