I'm obviously not when the person before you said he/she is also not a fan of this.
The fact that they NEVER mentioned bots were going to be a paid mode is really annoying. I don't care if it's a dollar or sixteen, Dont hype this shit up to be a free patch and then lock it behind a paywall because that's just annoying.
And I'm sorry if I come off as crass but it's bullshit to say they had to re-engineer both the levels and AI when literally all they had to do was put the existing AI into the bots.
I already bought it and I'm glad it's finally here, but they should have had more transparency coming into the patch because I'm pretty sure not a single blog post mentioned it was going to be locked behind a paywall.
Ps is Terraria ever going to get a patch?

You may be right about the bit of never stating that it was gonna be paid. I honestly never recall hearing it.
Still, it's less than a cheeseburger (a decent one at least) and will last you infinitely longer

Like Sol1dus, I was also under the assumption that it would be a free update. It wasn't until a few weeks ago that I understood it would be paid DLC. I think if Sony/GG had been more clear it would have been a non-issue. Whatever, it's out and like you said, for $3 you're getting content that will last for hours. There could have just been more clarity on Sony/GG's end.

Is bot mode just a game patch?

How big is the Vita version of Dead Nation?

Argh, I really want to spend the money I have now in my PSN wallet on stuff I was planning to buy, but rumours of an upcoming sale is kinda making me save it and see what deals i can get.
It is hard to aim in Dead Nation with the vita sticks. I would have liked some auto aim so I don't miss my charged shots. Online worked fine, was on a 2 bar connection and it was playable although there was a noticeable slight delay.

Thanks.

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
I find the aiming pretty easy tbh but then again I actually like Vita sticks more than consoles sticks at times.

I always assumed that it was gonna be paid, because I automatically take a negative perspective on good news. The original press release said something along the lines of "two new maps for FREE, and botzone" which I took to mean "you'll be paying for it".
I don't begrudge paying for it in the slightest, because they deserve it, but they should have been clearer. And honestly I don't know why they weren't
Completely unrelated, but Sony absolutely HAVE to heavily promote the Vita release of Minecraft - bundles, TV ads, whatever. Cos that game is a system seller even now (anecdotally, but I saw my little brother a few days ago and him and all his friends were talking about getting Vitas for it so they could play it on the go).

Did... Sony (SCEI) just sell all their stocks of Square Enix Holdings? Anybody else reported this? I don't understand all these business jargon in Japanese, lol.

If they do a Borderlands 2 bundle and not a Minecraft one, I don't even fucking know, honestly. Hard to promote, but if this really will be closer to the console editions, they need to market that. CAVES! BUTTONS! Honestly, is there anybody that actually enjoys or prefers Pocket Edition's awwwwffful control scheme? I can't think of anybody that wouldn't prefer a dual-stick setup.
You know what else is concerning? The fact that the Vita version already seems to be the lesser promoted one. Lots and lots of press releases/blog entries teasing the release date of "Xbox One and Playstation 4" versions alone. Also, disturbingly large amount of people, even on GAF saying "Minecraft should come to Vita!", they're not even aware it was announced for the thing. That announcement was a long time ago true, but Sony should be doing everything in their power to remind us.
I hope Sanzaru are doing the Ratchet ports!

I had Pocket Edition on the Xperia Play, and even with physical controls it was still just...dreadful. Better than dealing with the touch screen but it's just not anything like as good as the console versions. As far as i'm aware the Vita version will basically be a portable 360 version. They should definitely do a special edition vita with it (it'll never happen, but I can dream). Slim vitas are selling at £159.99 here in the UK, surely Sony could bundle up the console, game and an 8 gig mem card for that price, or maybe a tenner more?
have played for a week now.. love the games, great port except for the TERRIBLE cutscene compression.. fuck that takes away some of the charm from the games..
I made a short review for our little danish site.. http://joypad.dk/index.php/anmeldelser/1-spil/354-anmeldelse-the-sly-trilogy-vita.html
My wallet is ready.
But it says playable on PS3 and Vita. Am I just misunderstanding that?
just standard PSN store stuff. you can download the game to PS3 and transfer it to PsVita.. it´s just a wrong description Sony hasn´t bothered to fix.

I've come across that glitch too. For me it was triggered by having Wake Up Club's alarm running while the app was shut off. After I accepted the notification asking if I'd like to enter Wake Up Club, I was greeted to this when exiting back to the menu:
It's happened a few times. I think it goes away just by launching a new program.
I have the exact same problem after turning Wake Up Club on from standby mode.
It started happening after the new update and some problems while DLing Destiny of Spirits.
Is this a sign that the system might break or is it harmless?

We've had bundles with 16GB & Tearaway for £149.99 (that's the price I picked mine up at). At that sort of price level, I think it'd move some serious Vitas.
Also, one of the comments from 4j on a PSN blog entry stated that the Vita version in terms of map size was "closer to the PS3 edition" than the PS4, so whether that means it's slightly less than that, or somewhere in between the size of the PS3/4 editions, who knows. There's a blog entry here that a 4J staff member is answering questions on in the comments, so if you have anything pressing, throw a comment out there.

Just redeemed my Sly 3 code (didn't work yesterday) and the store page clearly stated that it's cross-buy.

Yeah, my original Vita was stolen in a house robbery, so I got that same bundle to replace it (from ShopTo when they did that one day only deal for £139.99, amazing offer). Prices seem to have gone up a bit again with the introduction of the Slim so I would be amazed (but very happy) to see a Minecraft bundle for under that magic £150.
I would ask a question in those comments but everything I would have asked already has been, so i'll just wait for the 4J guy to answer (if they ever do!) cheers for the link!

I expect even if they answer it'll be a generic "Sorry, can't say anything, stay tuned though!", but there were tidbits last time (mostly about the size of the gameworld in the PSV version).
Sucks about your Vita getting stolen, glad you got it replaced! Couldn't do without mine, I deliberately got more expensive travel insurance for my upcoming holiday so I'd be covered if I lost it.
nothing for me.. but maybe that is because I have a review code..

Looks like a retail release for the Vita version is at least confirmed (from the Playstation UK Facebook page):
Yeah, it wasn't great. Although at the same time my £1,300 gaming laptop got stolen as well so honestly replacing the Vita was a drop in the water by comparison...

Just got a Vita. I really enjoyed the trial version of Retro City Rampage, but I read that the checkpoint system and difficulty spikes are pretty terrible (or atleast were in 2012, when it was released). Does anyone know has the game been patched to fix those issues?
Apparently some checkpoints were added in late 2012: EDIT: link censored. But anyway, the game was patched to 1.02 in November 2012: "story missions improved, more checkpoints, etc."
Just wondering is it somewhat comparable to the 3DS version (which I haven't played, but I've read good things about it) in that regard, atm? Thanks.
Btw, Vita is just an amazing piece hardware. Dat OLED, Killzone Mercenary's graphics (omg...), dual analogs, smooth UI, PS4 remote play... Damn. A lot of people are missing out. 3DS XL's screen resolution looks even better now. /s So yeah, I don't want to get Retro City Rampage on my 3DS and it's more expensive too (9€ vs. 3€, or something like that).
EDIT:
Great news. Can't wait to play Sly and R&C 1-3 on the go.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I don't have Sly 3 (PS3) on my download history too. Maybe it's because the store isn't fully updated, but I think it's a one-way street like with PSAS. I only have the PS3 Trilogy on disc, so I'm out either way.

Any idea on Minecraft Vita's release date?
I hope the port is decent, and that it is indeed the equivalent of the 360 version.. not the Pocket edition.
I think it could be a killer app if promoted well.

I really hope supporting this game raises the chances of a proper sequel.

Well... there's lots of contention on that. Basically I don't think it's too far off, they don't like giving solid release dates. The PS3 version, for example, just dropped out of nowhere.
Already confirmed it's nothing like the Pocket Edition. 4J didn't even work on PE, Mojang did.

I guess maybe if it's on Vita I'll finally try Minecraft.

Botzone for Killzone Merc is up on the EU store, £2. The bots at least seem a bit smarter than the ones in Shadow Fall, who pretty much just stand still.

I have a friend in Japan right now. I asked him if he could find so retro material but he is out of luck. Anyway he asked me if I wanted anything for the Vita and I just could come with project diva f2 and shinovi versus, is there any other import friendly game that I'm missing?
