It should be. They used that shitty wobbly Vita effect in the BL2 video too.

But the user who posted it has no videos under its belt?

An italian site reviewed Dead Nation.

7.5, though they call it a bad port with frame rate issues.

Tsk. Too bad. I'm supposed to be in for some mindless twin shooter fun.

YAY! Top of the page! Like JRPGs with absurd stories and not easily offended with Eastern Asia tropes? Buy Conception 2. Otherwise wait a little longer and buy Demon Gaze!
 
So I was away from the internet/GAF for a few months. During that time Terraria came out.

I remember hearing a lot about it last fall and how people were excited for it's Vita release. How is it? Is it worth the dinero? Thanks

I waited for the Vita release to dive in to it for the first time. I was unbelievably hooked for a whiiiile. I stopped a little after turning the world into hardmode, but I still like to play it from time to time. Very easy to lose track of time while playing it. Can be relaxing, or challenging, depending on how you play it. I feel it's totally worth it, but I know some people here feel it's just a tad too steep.

Thanks for the info! Is it tough to get into? As in a good pick up and play?

I'm quite sure they said before that it will be the same (or almost the same) as the consoles' game.

It's the console version. This has been confirmed since they announced it months ago.

I'm very surprised with the amount of people that didn't knew abou the Vita version. This has been known for months.

Cool, that should be pretty decent. I haven't been following it at all which is why I didn't know.

Any Strike Suit Zero impressions?

I've only played through the first two chapters but it's pretty fun. Controls took a little getting used to. If anything, I'd say the games only real problem is that it's kind of repetitive. Like I said though, I haven't played that much, so maybe it opens up a bit more later on.

Just played PvZ: Garden Warfare. Sony should have moneyhatted EA for a Vita version, I think it would have done quite well as shooters are rare on the Vita and it maybe could have sold some systems to kids as SCEE is trying. I mean, every kid I know, knows PvZ and loves it. They also like playing shooters (but aren't allowed to).
On the VIta the game would have had some spotlight compared to the Xbox releases where it is overshadowed by all the other shooters included Titanfall. I am not speaking of something exclusive, but a port should have worked.

Sony Online Entertainment worked with Popcap to bring their games to PSN. It looks like SOE's done with Vita.

Maybe, though the copyright notice says SCE Japan Studio made the game, and that's not true.

This just made me crazy and giddy, until I figured out that its only a match 3 puzzler.

And now I am sad.

It's a free-to-play (though it had a $12 "take all of the F2P elements out" option in Japan) expanded version of Yu-Nama: The Puzzle from PSM. Those that have played the original only have good things to say.

I've finally found Sly footage

At first I thought it was fake, but the Bentley icon on the touchscreen in the first video and the white O symbol in the second video make me believe it's PSVita footage. Pretty good if real, though, you know, youtube...

It's weird that Sony would be so quiet on this port given that it looks like a great job by Sanzaru.

Maybe, and I might check it out anyway, but I was naturally hoping for a proper sequel.

Looks like Gravity rush/Borderlands 2 trailer with the weird borders, has new footage not seen in japanese videos so far, has new music never heard before from the trailers.

Sign points it to be legit. It would possibly be a marketing mockup that was supposed to be sent to someone but they did not put it to private or something. Either way, it's pretty much a confirmation that Freedom wars will be coming this year.

A lot of people (like me) didn't get it because after it was announced a mobile version was announced and released for $5 before we even heard anything about the Vita version. I'm waiting for a sale before I get it
 
^ My understanding is that the Vita version is a console port and better than the mobile versions.

Check this thread. i think it'll go on sale soon, I'm waiting for that before diving in.
 
I went too far into the forest dungeon too soon on elminage original. O___O

my party was annihilated

Also quick question for MLB players on Vita, how can I get full control of my outfield? Sometimes I'm doing something and the computer takes over and it's annoying. How do you select different outfielders in a pop fly?
 
So I turned on my Vita last night and it started "updating database". When it is done all my game bubbles are gone, but settings and other bubbles are there. But then I power it down and turn it back on and it does the updating database message or whatever and all my 4 pages of game bubbles are back but entirely out of the order that I had placed them in. So Vita people, any idea what this might mean?

Also now when clicking on bubbles to start game it seems to lag a second by telling me to "please wait". Played Ys Celceta for a couple of hours w/o issue so the games seem fine.

32gb btw

Edit: Nevermind....seemed I needed to manually do a system update and things seem fine....no more bubble lag either.

That music is not new, and I recognize a lot of the footage from older videos. I haven't watched all of the Freedom Wars stuff SCEJA has put out either.

I think the more important factor is that its an Xbox exclusive using an engine that would never run on the Vita.
 
Mmm I think I got screwed :/
Sony sent me a code last christmas. That code was a discount for The Sly trilogy which would have been available at 7.99€. I redeemed that, but didn't buy it since I didn't want it for PS3 but suspected that a crossbuy Vita release would have been on the way.
By redeeming this code, the old Sly Trilogy "bundle" on PSN was blocked, while the discounted Sly Trilogy bundle was unlocked.
Now they pulled the discounted bundle and the normal bundle is still blocked, so I can't buy the entire Sly trilogy unless I buy them separated (and that's more expensive).


I'd send an email to Sony, but last time I did they replied to me after 2 months, so I guess it's better to call them...do you think they'll be able to give me the option to download the discounted one again?

Imagine mario + minecraft. If you like 2d platformers, exploration, crafting, or digging long ass tunnels, it could be for you!! Check that thread another gaffer posted. Also, check that demo! Limited building, but it gives you a good general feel for the game.
 
Bought Ni no Kuni during the EU PS sale. Can't wait to see how Tales games will look on the PS5 lol.

Tried the demo a while ago and it sure had pretty graphics. The battle system... I'm not so sure, but in the worst case I could put it on easy and enjoy the rest of the package.

Downloading the demo now, thanks!

I think it's more accurate to say that they're done with publishing 3rd party games on PSN, because I don't think they put any external title on the PS3 since the original Payday either and that was before Plants vs. Zombies.

Really good game, considering elaborate lttp-thread
 
Question for the VitaGAF's. Is there a button to exit the standby screen without touching the screen itself? They've added a button for practically every other feature so I was hoping there's a way to do this.
 
Hum. Would have ratherd a Resogun port. Will probably skip Dead Nation, I rarely play it on PS4 as is.

Also my PS+ sub ran out yesterday, that means it's been 1 year since I bought my Vita. I should buy a cake.
