I believe there was one exclusive to the art book.

Isn't Death Inc. a PSP launch title?

Death Jr. was a PSP launch title.

Death Inc. wasn't the Vita game SCE canceled anyways. That's what the studio was working on after it had been axed.
 
Thanks! Now, I just need to finish Gravity Rush...
 
Sony should REALLY just give us access to all the stores :/
I would buy more games from the Jap store :/

but sigh all those licensing crap... T_T

Play the DLC too... Or else... Or else nothing.

Hey coolasj19 you up for some TLoU in a bit? I'm free to play now if you are
If you can grab Jer, throw me an invite and I'll come running. Otherwise it's super difficult with 2 people. Still have to watch America pwn at the Olympics.

So when is Save Vita USA?
 
Assuming it's not been upported to PS4, I hope we get to see Bend's canceled Vita game. Then again, given we've yet to see this, I might be waiting a while.

Wait, Bend's next Vita game was confirmed as cancelled? WHEN WAS THIS?

I forgot what his GAF name is so I threw together some letters.

Lol. Are you guys playing now?

they're working on ps4 game = they don't have a vita game

Ah, I thought Sony had just come out and said their game was cancelled.

Like... 2 years ago.

Nah, not yet. I'm gonna wait for Flandy to throw me a party invite via Vita and that's when I'll jump in.

80 people can't work on 2 full games. 80 people is enough for one PS4 game, or one Vita game and pre-production for a PS4 game.

Ah cool. I'll turn on my Vita then and wait for a party invite as well.

Edit: Lol. My Vita says Flandy is both online and offline.

Companies rarely announce the cancellation of unannounced games.

Bend were hiring for another Vita game, and put on a presentation at last year's GDC making it seem like there was more to come. Golden Abyss shipped over two years ago, and there's been no announcement of Bend following up on Vita. Yoshida has said that every SCE studio is working on PS4, and specifically mentioned Bend. As the studio employed 50 people for GA there's little chance of them having a second team.

Makes sense, unfortunately :(.

We know Bend's been expanding, they could be the same size as Media Molecule which shipped a Vita game while working on a PS4 game.

Tearaway was rather small in scope compared to something like an Uncharted. Wasn't the team that worked on Tearaway only 11 people?

15 I believe, but yes. I don't see Sony or anyone in the west making Vita games with a bigger scope than that, it doesn't make financial sense.
 
Speaking of Bend, just started a Hard play through of GA. I forgot how much fun this game is, the gimmicks are just a little annoying.

The game really has Drake's Fortune vibe, which I guess is mostly due to the smaller scale and jungle setting. That said, Drake's Fortune is my favourite Uncharted (I'll admit Uncharted 2 is the "best" game in the series) so I ended up loving Golden Abyss.

The gimmicks do suck though. It's quite annoying playing late at night and then having to find a light source for a particular puzzle :/.

Double Fine is slightly larger than Bend. They have around 4 teams, one of which worked on Playroom for the PS4.
 
TLoU Vita... imagine that.
that maybe the answer to Vita selling like hotcakes

The Last of Us: Insert Spinoff Here won't move Vitas to a large degree. That's a game focused on cinematic narrative, which is not what people want on handhelds.

From their last Vita specific job postings:

Bend Studio the creators of Sony’s flagship Vita title Uncharted Golden Abyss is currently looking for the entertainment industries top Artistic talent to help us create AAA content for Sony's powerful new hardware. We just scratched the surface on what the Vita can do with Uncharted Golden Abyss and expect to push the platform even further with our future projects. Candidates must be passionate about their work and thrive in small-team environments where everyone inspires and pushes everyone else to create great games.

Founded in 1994, Bend Studio is a team of over 40 veteran engineers, artists, designers, and support staff who are dedicated to excellence and innovation. We have the close-knit environment and camaraderie of a small studio, where everyone knows everyone, while at the same time enjoying the stability and security provided by being part of Sony Computer Entertainment America. We are dedicated to producing only AAA award-winning games that showcase the power of current and future game consoles from Sony Computer Entertainment.

That doesn't sound like a small project, and if it still existed I imagine we would have heard of it by now.

I was more thinking of future projects, though I guess I can see a smaller team working on turning that project into a downloadable multi-platform title.

Double Fine isn't making a AAA PS4 title. Are they?
Doubtful. But I don't see any reason to assume Bend are either, especially with Yoshida talking about how Sony's mid-sized studios are being encouraged to go down the Double Fine route of multiple smaller projects.

I thought Firesprite worked on that
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firesprite
Double Fine did a DLC pack called My Alien Buddy.

Turned my PS3 on and saw you playing. Thought you weren't going to play :P
 
FeMC! Fighting in tartarus by night
Going to school with Stupei when the day has light
FeMC! You sure do have a cult following around here
I just want to let you are indeed listed in the wonderful tier
FeMC! You may not be canon, but I will say this
You make people such as coolasj19 filled with bliss

I'm still buttmad that you can't have romance with Junpei because of reasons.

I'm prepped to play. Me and Gir (tap) are waiting for you. That and it's a break between the semi and finals of the Olympics Group Skating comp.

Sony has killed their mid-tier. Really big or really small. Mid-tier is for indies and big 3rd party teams doing multiple mid-tier titles (the Japanese)
 
Amagami? Amagami!

Find your true waifu, acquire trophies.

Anybody else playing this? Or Uta Kumi 575?

Probably not lol
Literally just finished Haruka best end less than an hour ago lol.


TBH I'm kind of annoyed at how lazy this port is, really wanted touch controls for advancing text like every other vn on the Vita.
 
Welp.

I just booted up my PS4 and grabbed Outlast. Then I booted up my PS3 to check out Metro and Brothers. Outlast and Metro went through just fine and I'm downloading those now.

I went through the motions and "purchased" Brothers. I checked my email and they charged me $14.99 for it.

What the hell?

Edit: Here's purchasing Metro

And here's Brothers

Yay! Killzone Mercenary playinum is mine!

I honestly don't get why some people complained about the 'Dedicated yo the Cause' contracts. They were all fairly easy.

Congrats! I've got to for that one myself.

Great TLoU session with coolasj19 and Tapejara. Look forward to playing with you guys again :)

Lots of fun, but it did nothing to help my fucked up sleep schedule :P.

That's like playing The Last of Us before Bioshock Infinite
.

I get this joke.
