PlayStation Network Thread (Vita/PS3/PS4) | March 2014

missing that $10 deal hurts. I usually never miss any of this.

EDIT: is there a better place to manage the PSN message inbox and friend's list..
I need to start clearing out the spam ><
 
I just got steamworld for 3ds at the discounted price, and yet I think I might want to get this as my first ps4 purchase... ugh
 
Just completed Jacob Jones and the Bigfoot Mystery Episode 1.

It's pretty much your typical 1$ adventure-puzzle game you can find in the dozens on phones. Nothing special when it comes to pretty much everything. Don't really regret it since it cost me 1euro for a little less than 4 hours, but still I'm pretty sure every vita owner has a huge backlog already with much, much better games.


I would probably buy the second episode if it ever releases but not for more than 1$.
 
I wouldn't be too excited for that* because based on those screenshots it looks like a partial translation. You know, like the fan translations that only do the menus and nothing else.

*I wouldn't be excited for any SAO thing.

What would be the point of doing only partial translation ?

If chinese is needed to understand story why even bother with doing only menus in english ?

Guess we will see later.
 
I'm waiting for the PSN to update next week for more sales, but what are some great newer Indie games for Vita?

I know Dustforce is great (even though the Vita version has bad frame rate problems :(), but what abut TxK, Fez, and Steamworld Dig? I know Steamworld Dig is good from the gameplay I saw of it online and am interested in Fez, but I don't know if TxK is good or not.

Any advice on those games would be great Gaf :).

TxK is amazing but it's hard as crap. I love it but then I love Tempest and Minter.
It was made just for the Vita and it's glorious
YMMV depending on your taste for arcade games and Minter's design sensibilities
 
i never played the dynasty warrior , how are they? are they beat em up?

Never played Dynasty Warriors, but from what I've saw of its games via reviews, they are hack and slashers where you kill waves and wave of foes in large scale battles as an General/Commander. You also play as real Japanese/Chinese warriors (though just 'loosely' based on the real people) and have many characters to play as.

I know the Vita one is great (interestingly enough one of the more graphically impressive games on Vita) but I'm sure Gaffers how love the series could give you a better opinion on the series :).
 
Don't Starve, Broforce, (if they come), Minecraft and one of those mirrors edge/swinging/jumping games turning out well on vita and I'll be pretty much set! So happy, Luftrausers really is the perfect handheld game, awesome on Vita.

Still no TMNT? That is disappointing. The trophy list was out weeks ago. Looks like another slow week. :( Hope Fez has a plat if the cost is $9.99 for plus users. But +1 as I believe that is a #D and 3D on PS4 looks so good.

TxK isn't good.
It's fantastic.

Another two newly released indies are Surge Deluxe and Luftrausers, I haven't played them personally but I heard good things from gaf.

A couple of levels aside it wasn't that hard. 100%ifying it it's another story, and according to PSNProfiles no one did it yet :O

It's hard for me but that's because I'm older and not as fast as I used to be at arcade games.
You youngins should breeze through it haha
 
Minecraft is taking a goddamn age to come out on Vita. I wonder if once they've got the TU14 out of the way for PS3/360 we might hear more news on XBone/PS4/Vita. Though the Vita version is the only one they haven't posted an in-dev screenshot for yet, so I fear it's low priority ;\
 
What does dynasty warrior 8xl add from 8? I own dw8, love it, but there's a lot of content in 8 already and I haven't even beaten all the campaign yet.
 
Does the DW8 for ps4 will be 60fps and 1080?

If Terraria, Fez and Borderlands 2 made it, Minecraft might just as well.

So many close call vaporware...
 
Congratulations, your $59.97 spend during the "Spend $60, Get $10" promotion earned you a $10 credit to spend on games, movies, music and more on Sony Entertainment Network and PlayStation®Store.

See, it still counts!

What? Most $1 phone games like this have great 3D graphics and are fully voice-acted?
 
Thinking of picking up the crystal white vita slim from here.

I am in the US with a US playstation account. This will not be a problem will it?

Also, I know that the slim should be announced soon (?) for north America. Any word on when that is expected and what colors will be coming? (just trying to weigh my options)

Thanks a bunch for any help!

edit: my mistake, this is not a slim vita. still, the questions remain I suppose.
 
Just got my $10 voucher for the promotion as well. Got it my e-mail inbox. Haven't checked my PS3 or Vita to see if it got sent there too. Spent a total of $62.46
 
Vitagaffers! Should i buy fez or steamworld dig.?

If you ask me FEZ is in a different league than Steamworld Dig. They're both great games, but FEZ is a modern masterpiece
 
What? Most $1 phone games like this have great 3D graphics and are fully voice-acted?

Yeah wait what? I thought this game was awesome! I remember being super impressed by the graphics.

Voice acting was amazing and graphics were nice, yes. It's not like the writing was anything special though and the puzzles were pretty mediocre. I feel like not being better where it matters to me (writing and puzzles since it's an adventure game) made my overall opinion a little harsh.
