I can't believe they still haven't put Totori or Meruru Plus on sale again yet for NA PSN. :/

They had Totori on sale once last year...it was a month before I bought my Vita so I didn't pre-buy the game. I impulsively bought my Vita though, or else I might have gotten it first. Ugh.

It's not much to look at it, but it runs really well. I haven't noticed any fps drops, and I'm fairly sensitive to them.

It looks pretty much like the PS3 version, including many shadow-casting lights etc.(no SSAO, but that was awful anyway), and it's native-res, one more PS3 port that runs better on Vita than every PS2 port.

In a nutshell;

"Hey guys! We're responsible for some of the most fluid, fun 2D platforming in years! HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO MOVE SOME OBSTACLES ON A TOUCH-SCREEN. For 50% of the game? Cool. We got you covered."
 
Can anyone confirm how to earn valor cards in killzone mercenary botzone? I only get gold, silver of bronze cards. Not the decks.

Everyone should at least try No Heroes Allowed: No Puzzles Either!

The tutorial is kinda boring if you've played this type of game before. But once you get going it's actually pretty fun.

I actually love how up front it is about wanting your money. Makes me more likely to spend on it.

Bingo.

Also at launch it was missing a good chunk of the content from the console versions, which has since been added in a patch.

Sony originally pushed for a PlayStation Vita version of the now-PC and Xbox 360/One exclusive Titanfall.

Developer Respawn reached out to Sony before Titanfall's exclusivity agreement with Microsoft was signed to discuss PlayStation 4 target specs, but was told the platform holder wasn't ready to divulge the details.

Sony suggested a PlayStation Vita version instead, and offered to help make it.

Yes, they were trying and failed ;(

A Vita version would have been killer. It's not one of my favourite shooters but it is fun for a while and it is not like we have any alternatives. There is Killzone and that is pretty much it with good shooters. And I am also not a big fan of the KZ: M game modes.

Regardless of my personal opinion of the gameplay, it would probably have sold some systems.
 
Come on, people, let's pimp Flying Hamster 2 all we can. It's an amazing looking Monster Boy inspired game!

Is the exclusivity thing forever or just timed? Because if it's just timed isn't it possible Sony could get a deal for PS4 and Vita ports at some point?

Why not just wait for Titanfall 2 instead? Although knowing Sony, it wouldn't be surprising if they decide to give the Vita another super late port.
 
Got a psn card

Do I want

Conception 2: enjoyed the demo and like jrpgs now(the love for them was rekindled because of persona 4)
Deception 4: really enjoyed the rest of the series, kagero being a top 10 game of mine
Ps4 Trials fusion: bought a 360 specifically because of evolution, really like the series

My hesitations on each one:

Conception: didn't finish the demo because I got a feel for it and enjoyed it enough to not want to continue, but I don't know if it keeps up being good or if the jokey writing eventually becomes annoying

Deception:I have no idea if the new one is even any good or the length or anything
Trials: no real drawback as it's the most known quantity, I just think maybe I'll like one of the other 2 more and I feel like I'll be doing my vita duties of supporting localizing Japanese games if I get one of them

Deception IV is the best of the series. Not sure on the story mode length at the moment (something like 12 chapters I think? Again, not sure), but aside from that there's also 100 missions, a free mode you can just screw around in, and the ability to make your own stages and upload them for others to play, as well as download stages others have made. It's pretty great and there's tons of content.
 
Story can be really short, you can get it done in under 3h if you're ignoring daemon requests and generally know what you're doing. But those 100 missions will take a long time if you're not resorting to guides.

I haven't played other Kagero games, but I really liked it.

I think Titanfall 1 as it is wouldn't run. Titanfall 2 will probably be even worse.
Best hope is for a spin off. 4on4, less AI grunts, smaller maps for smaller player count, lock at 30fps.

That would be up to EA (read as "No way Jose")

We don't know anything about the contract for the second game but Respawn holds the IP, not EA.

Can't check the link right now, is there some details on how it went? Was it all like "we'd like do develop on the PS4" and then Sony took a Vita from the pocket and went "yeah sure, later, but why not dev for this fella for now? We'll help", and then Respawn didn't fancy such offer and walked away?

Also, 100%'d (trophy-wise) Fez last night. Must've been fun to work with the community to discover things when it launched. I only had my gf playing to talk about and share some ideas, so to reach 209,4% we ended up checking stuff online.

Regrets regarding the Vita? Probably not. Sad about the missed sales on Playstation, absolutely.
The whole situation seems like a mess with Sony being secretive about the PS4, Microsoft allegedly saving the game with their (first?/timed) exclusive agreement and EA goong behind the back for the absolute exclusivity.

If you mean i should look at KZ: M from the tech side, the maps are significantly smaller and there is less happening (AI grunts) on it. Just cutting the player count without rebalancing the maps would be bad. Respawns game doesn't seem to be the most efficient anyway and Bluepoint already had done a hell of a job getting it on the 360.
 
Grinding in Ragnarok Odyssey ACE doesn't seem to have improved. At least in the non-ACE content.

Then again, the RNG could be fucking with me.
 
still trying to find a phone that has a screensize (with its bezel) similar to a Vita so I can buy its Tempered Glass Screen Protector for my Vita

used one on my Note3... Glass Screen Protectors are just AMAZING

Unfortunately, Flying Hamster II's Kickstarter project isn't going too well at the moment. Unless a miracle happens, it doesn't look like it'll succeed. :/ BTW the first game is on PSN and it's a really fun shooter. The HD version for Vita is only $0.49!!

If you are a fan of the Kagero games go for it. I played Deception IV and loved it. I also reviewed it and gave it a 8. Definitely a must buy.
