PlayStation Network Thread (Vita/PS3/PS4/PSP) | February 2014

My sister in law is in Japan this week so I asked her to bring me a 64Gb... must resist the temptation of getting a Vita 2000, I know I'd really hate the inverted O/X buttons.

I'm hyped for Strider soon. Is that coming to Vita as well & is it cross-buy if so?

PS4 and PS3, probably not cross buy (in before Takao's "Capcom lol")
 
I have to say this game looks worse with every new trailer they released. Is this game developed by Ubisoft?
__

I've played a couple of hours of FFVII
I just met Aeris
and I have to say those pre rendered backgrounds look amazing with the bilinear filtering. A lot better that I was expecting. The only thing that hasn't aged so well are the character models on the field. It's quite impressive for its time.

Does this game even need spoiler tags?

Doesn't matter it's still SAO. I really liked reading the books of it. When the anime started, I cannot get over how bad it was compared to the novels. I didn't even finish watching it.

FF7 is really great and aged really well.
 
Really glad I checked out the Dustforce demo before outright buying it, as I originally planned on doing. I love me a precise platformer, however I just felt I could not get the precision needed for the game, and I tried both the D-Pad and the analog stick. Both were infuriating. Shame, seems like it could be a good game, but as of now it is a definite pass for myself.

I enjoyed the first half, but I haven't read the books. The second half was awful

Yes, the 2nd half is kinda weak compared to the first half. I hope they don't mess up season 2 when it will feature GGO.

Definitely read the books. I vastly prefer any book actually than their anime adaptation. This is of course if the original content was from the books itself. I really like imagining what happens in my head. It feels more cinematic or something like that.

When the content of SAO was transferred to the anime form, I felt like it was too cheesy so it felt really off for me.

I've read the first 7 books, I'm waiting until the current story arc is finished to read the rest. The books are decent enough, I used them to practice my english. You can find them on Baka-tsuki.

Books 3 and 4 (Alfheim online, I think) are imo the worst part of the series. The fact that they cut some content doesn't help. 1 and 2 are better, but the structure is really weird. The first only scratches the surface about what happens during those three years, it has the main plot but does a lot of time skips, the second is a couple of side stories that includes the side characters (Yui, the loli, that blacksmith girl). It's really messy. The anime is better paced.

5 and 6 are decent. For me 7 is the best book overall. But Accel World is much better crafted imo, but isn't as hyped as its older brother.

You won't be able to read the rest of the books in Baka-tsuki since SAO was already licensed for release in NA. They stopped translating it a few month ago so you have to buy the rest legally.
 
So Olli Olli is really addictive , i wasnt sure about the purchase but someone said it was the perfect mix between Hotline Miami and Tony Hawk, they where damn right. The music , fast pacing and graphics are pretty much the Hotline Miami part and the rest is all TonyHawk Greatness. Excellent title even for that price.

OlliOlli + Tony Hawk 2 playlist (thanks music unlimited) = gaming bliss.
 
I don't know why I had a massive urge to buy and play RE2 on my Vita the whole day.

I got home, watched a bit of a playthrough and noped. More than a decade later it still scares me.
 
I haven't played my copy of Dustforce yet, but I played it on PC... what are the issues people are having? Is it anal retentive hyperbole, or legit worst port ever?

Neither. It has framerate drops that are very noticeable in certain levels, less so in others. Whether or not that bothers you is a subjective matter.
 
maybe, but the responses comes from them , and we are complaining about the vita version , so i guess they are in contact with the other team or they help each other, thing is DO IT becouse if you stay quiet nothing will happen.

So gunslugs is coming to Vita is anyone excited about this? im looking forward to it , specially since i saw this pic

I'd be interested in this if it didn't look like vomit. These indie devs need to stop with this hideous style. No it does not look good and no it does not make me feel like a kid again. It just offends my eyes. Same reason I didn't get that Lone Survivor game when it was on sale.

Sadly you are right, real old games look millions time better than indie games that try to look old(just because they are not able to do better), for example this is a shot'em up for amiga

despite the resolution and the various hardware limitations(especially the number of colors on screen) it looks a world apart.

The link in your picture leads to a page with tons of abandonware which is, technically speaking, against the TOS of GAF :P
 
Those pre-order bonues are getting shittier and shittier.

And what's with the shitty boxart, why not the same one as the PS3 version??
 
Well, guess I'm going digital. That's pretty weak.

Is it being localized? I want it. And it's so much better than SAO.

I haven't heard anything about localization, but I agree. GuP is way better as an anime. I loved the strategy and tension of the tank battles. But for what I've read and seen of the game, it looks like it will be more action-oriented. If it turns out anything close to Advance Wars though, day f***** one for me.
 
Oh yes I forgot about that. I still feel that this is Sony's fault because of the 4GB restrictions they put in their game cartridges.

Yeah, in the end its Sony fault, but I really dont want to start downloading games digital on my Vita. I am starting to reach the 100 bubbles limit soon and there are still some games I need. They really need to patch this shit out soon.

Yes I'd like that. I would also like something akin to Valkyria Chronicles too.
 
Wow, you weren't kidding. It looks worlds apart.

And it uses a very limited palette, as you can see everything on the screen is made with very few shades of green, gray, orange/brown and blue, something that probably no one is still capable of doing.... 16 bit era artists were really awesome.

I have no idea why they choose that box art for the Vita version. My guess is they want the Vita version not to bomb due to low install base, so they use this cover to:

- ...make the game "recognizable" by older fans, who bought the PS2 versions with the same covers.
- ...cater to everyone who thinks that a cover showing a guy with a sword and a girl with a gun showing her butt is a good game.

Same. Read and liked the books. Anime comes out and I still haven't finished the last few episodes.
