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

I'm really enjoying thomas was alone, I wouldn't even have tried it if it wasn't free. I might actually finish it too. Lol.
Volume is Bithells next game and it's PlayStation 4/Vita exclusive (and PC I guess).

Welp, I officially didn't get my $10 voucher. Ugh. I'm gonna have to call tomorrow and push it up to a supervisor or something so I can buy Fez immediately.
 
They fixed it.
It's now 9.74 or something.

It's been "fixed". But just for future reference, a price change in the aftermath of a $60 get $10 back promotion is either dirty business for Sony, or the most retarded pricing decision for a developer ever. Get mad next time.

Well it's not 7.99, but I'll take it. Does feel kind of shady to switch the price last minute after advertising the lower one for a couple weeks.
 
PSN Store no longer accepts my credit card. I've made heaps of purchases on there in the past but now it keeps telling me to check my details whenever I try. There's no issue with my card, so I have no idea what's going on. PayPal transactions on PSN work fine, it's just when I try to use the actual card.

Anyone ever experience this?
 
Time to dl these little gems:
Suikoden
V. Chronicles 2
mIND OVER mutant
Burnout

Castlevania Chronicles
MGS1
Um Jammer
wild arms 1
Stranger's Wrath
Muramasa
Stealth inc

As they are missing from my Vita atm.

So I also assume we can make more than 10 folders too?
 
Downloaded the Diva f demo today, wanted to see if it's anything I'd like since I'm usually into rhythm games but have zero knowledge of Vocaloid. Had a lot of fun so I went ahead and bought the whole thing, god help me. Hoping it'll be able to scratch that Elite Beat Agents type of itch.

Also tried out Unit 13 through PS+ and promptly deleted it after the tutorial. That game has zero appeal to me.
 
To RalchAC and whoever else cares about Destiny of Spirits: just woke up to see a patch downloaded to the DoS Beta app (I downloaded it again when the launch date was confirmed).

After the update, the beta app became the main app (so I won't need to download it), and by launching I'm greeted by a message saying that the servers will be up on the 25th, and another saying that my save data will need to be overwritten. Don't think our beta spirits will carry over, then, but I'll check that later.

Aaand the wallpapers are still compressed as hell on fw 3.10. Maybe next time.

same here. i don't generally like military style shooters in general, but decided to give it a shot.

my thoughts were, "its a shooter alrite" . don't know why i expected something new.
 
So since the latest Vita update, the system won't boot up if I have my 32 GB card in, it just endlessly flickers the PS logo. If it take out the card or put in a different card, it works. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Time consuming, but the first thing I'd probably try is to back it up format it and then restore to see if that helps.
 
I just got my Nyko Vita Power Grip. It's really bothering me that it tilts forward when I put it down instead of laying flat.

Also I don't get it. Is the battery along where the ports are? The handles? Looks small.
 
Awesome the Vita update!

Siliconera says that Mind Zero looks like Persona 3 but plays like Persona 1 and honestly it sounds interesting

Unit 13 has lots of faults, it looks generic, it has very few map and enemies and probably more, but don't be deceived by a very bad start(the tutorial is really off putting imo), it can be really challenging, infiltration missions are good, bosses missions are really hard, timed missions are really challenging and so on.
Depending on the type of mission you need to change your play style, for example in infiltration missions you need to not be seen so you walk and kill silently with a knife or a silenced gun while in timed missions you need to hurry so you just kill everyone with machine guns.
The game has its good list of faults but it's fun and challenging imo.
 
How can I format it when the Vita doesn't work when the card is in? Even safe mode doesn't work.
:(

Only other thing I can think is to see if it works in another Vita if you have access to one. Other than that it might be worth contacting support, because it sounds fucked.

Just PM me when DoS appears on your region. I am currently playing in the Asian server right now and is looking for a good user to dispose some of my spirits. Take care of them for me. I am only looking to beat 7 area bosses (6 so far) and I'm out playing this.

Thoever else cares about Destiny of Spirits: just woke up to see a patch downloaded to the DoS Beta app (I downloaded it again when the launch date was confirmed).

Thank you, need to check this ~7h time (when i get to home. Got original beta client in my Vita memcard. EU launch is tomorrow, but would be nice if I can dl the launch app.

Cardinalmind: Going to PM you tomorrow evening (EET).
 
So.. No midnight launch :(
 
Those who played Mind Zero said that it's not that impressive.

I know, but maybe some of the negativity is caused by the Persona 3 expectations, as someone says in the comments:

-Is basically a "Persona" game?... I like that.

-No. Completely different games.
So if you dislike Persona then this might be something fresh.
If you love Persona and go in expecting this to play just like Persona then you're in for disappointment.

If you go in expecting this game to play like Mind 0 without any qualifiers then it may give you a good experience.

Woah, thanks! Will do when the servers go up (I fear it's on Grace Chen's hands, tho) :)
 
It will be interesting to see if Strike Suit Zero actually comes out today, I was just reading an interview with the devs from the 20th and they said it wad coming out "later this month" with today being the last update for March it would have to be today. It's curious that it's not listed under releases on the PSBlog release list, or the PSN stores list.
 
Lays off at Cambridge, Evolution and London.

The Vita first party situation get worse every day; SCEA won't make anything new for the console, SCEJ apparently isn' capable of doing something other than Hunting games on Vita, and the only division that is still willing to support Vita is getting destroyed.
 
PSN Store no longer accepts my credit card. I've made heaps of purchases on there in the past but now it keeps telling me to check my details whenever I try. There's no issue with my card, so I have no idea what's going on. PayPal transactions on PSN work fine, it's just when I try to use the actual card.

Anyone ever experience this?

happened to me once, try deleting all the credit card information and enter them all over again, at least that method worked for me.

SCEJ's hunting games are not just simple reskin since they are so different from each other gameplay and presentation wise. SCEJ is one of the most consistent Sony studio that support Sony platform, but most specially Vita in order to safe it in Japan (and I guess they succeed somehow). I would like to see them collaborate with other studio to make different games, or create something new by themselves.

Happened to me couple months ago. It was saturday, my guess was that problem was somewhere between bank & Sony servers. Problem was solved when next week started (monday or tuesday).

Sad situation was, we had friends palyin Zen 2 pb and I was trying to buy new tables with no luck.
 
Welp. Looks like I fucked up something. I can't access my Asian account after Updating. Gotta try rebuilding the database first.
Noooooo! My F2P game! I haven't synched you yet. I hate to say this but I hope this does not become a Masterballs scenario.
Cardinalmind: Going to PM you tomorrow evening (EET).
Just tell me if you're ready. I have to call HK PS since my account is messing itself up. Overpriced International calls, here we go!

I thought I was the only one! I could never buy anything on the weekends, don't have that problem anymore though.

My feelings exactly. Very grim outlook for the future.
 
Has freedom wars asian version release date been announced? After seeing the videos and hearing about English subs, I think I'm sold on it!
 
My feelings exactly. Very grim outlook for the future.

I was hoping for an Evolution game developed by a little side-team and for another Cambridge game, but now that hope is completely gone.

Well, at least let's hope that the surely coming R&C Trilogy and Nexus are good ports...
 
Soul Sacrifice Delta's production team will be organizing hunting events through the Calendar app. I feel like that'll be the only neat thing anyone ever does with it.

If I didn't know SCEA better, I'd think they'd make a release calendar at some point.
 
cardinalmind something not mentioned in the blog post is that for PS+, Sly Cooper is also for Vita.

Gee thanks! I usually only lurk on the HK PSN blog so I missed that. Updated the long post.
Otome game brand Otomate has just announced that all of their titles to be released after September 2014 will be on Vita.

Vita means Life.

While I'm not a fan of that genre. My sister who likes them will really like it. I think I'll have to buy her a Vita if she bugs me constantly just to play those.
 
Is it just me or does there seem to be a dearth of games right now..nothing on the PS4 or Xbox 1 currently that says: "By this console now"....nothing major coming up on XBLA PSN + ...no classics, etc...even Abe's Oddysee is nowhere to be seen..next mainstream release that's BIG is probably Watchdogs...Metal Gear isn't worth the price its going for...and its main game probably won't be out till 2015/16! (Though I suppose it depends on what genres your into..)
 
Well it's not 7.99, but I'll take it. Does feel kind of shady to switch the price last minute after advertising the lower one for a couple weeks.

I honestly don't remember them advertising 7.99 for it. I thought it was 9.99 before and 12.99 regular price.
