Oh boy

Vita Hate running deep in this thread

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=804183

WTF I thought VitaGAF was on the rise with all the awesome momentum form the recent announcements

Not to mention the steady growth in japan and healthy software sales everywhere else.


Vita did so well the usual haters just lingered for a chance to bash it again. The desastrous NPD gave them the fuel to do so. There is no sugarcoating the NPD numbers but I hate that it seems these are the only numbers people care for when they call for the death of the Vita.
Hope we get the Usual Nintendo numbers soon again. Let's see if the Vita beats the Wii U again thanks to Europe and Japan.

Its a damn shame

Clearly the software sales volume on the system is significant. Even Hideo BABA... The guys who specifically shot down the idea of bringing games to Vita in the West.... Is now on board
 
I've started keeping a spreadsheet of my PSN games, as Sony's system for seeing what you actually own is non-existent really.

Who says Vita has no games?



All my Vita games are digital, and I really can't believe I have so many between purchases and PS+ content.

Are there any games that you would consider "must-play" that I'm missing?

Oh this is fun. I'll go next.

I might be missing something. Plus I haven't listed PS Mobile, PS1 or PSP games I have for Vita. So many games.
 
Well I will still be buying Vita games as it's my only gaming platform (and I love it).

Gonna pass on Tales of Hearts, though... Not a fan of Tales games TBH
 
Man, I'd love to go full digital with my PS4. But living in Austria, my PSN account's region is Germany, which means I'd get censored games occasionally.
I could create a second account, either UK or USA, but I'd prefer to keep a single account for all purchases, friends and trophies. If we just were able to change the region/country of PSN accounts..

You can play PS4 games bought with a US account on your Austrian account.
 
I don't think that video was supposed to be discovered today. I reuploaded it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05Xps7PuVe4

That's the funny thing; All three manufacturers have got problem systems to some degree or other.
 
Okay, so i Just found out that Destiny of Spirits doesn't let the vita auto-sleep!
Was playing earlier (about 2 hours ago), but went to do some other stuff. Just got back to my vita and noticed that the screen was still on! First thing I did was look for burn in. Luckily there seems to be none. Why would they disable auto sleep? That's kinda dangerous, no? Would have been super bummed if my screen was screwed up. :l
 
Well, I hope nobody blames me for not buying Hearts R.

I'm mainly buying it to support the localization , will buy day 1 if physical.

Not really a fan of the changes to the game but its a remake so i respect that.

Hopefully it sells well enough and we get Bamco to notice us western Vita owners

Certain games do this. I remember once a while back, I booted up Hot Shots Golf, and put it in the case so it could be ready for me when I was ready for it. I got sidetracked, and I looked at the unit an hour or two later, and it was still on -_- I did the samr thing, checked for burn in, but I think it was a movie that was looping, so no real worries there. Not sure why devs do it though, perhaps to ensure that certain features of the game don't become unavailable? As in when the Vita sleeps, network is disconnected, restricting certain "abilities" of the game?
 
Where did this rumor start? Just curious.

Gaffer in this thread said there would be a sale. He then ominously posted a random date a week later which was today. We all assumed that would be the date of the flash sale since we were talking about a sale happening and he had mentioned there'd be a big sale a week earlier

It's not coming.
 
I'm assuming he was legit, since baseless rumors can get you banned. Has he been verified as having a real source?
 
SCEA is waiting for me to blow the 40 bucks I have on PSN to launch the ultimate sale. Sorry guys. I will be strong and wait. At least some hours :-X

If it isn't today I'm sure it was at least scheduled at one point. Doubt he would just randomly lie in this thread lol

I've got about $26 in my account waiting to get spent. C'mon SCEA don't let me down

Oh shit, :itshappening.gif:
Make it a good one and I give you more than 40, come on Sony, you and me both know you want my money.
 
Hopefully they're not all just $1 indie games then. Some deals on retail games would be nice.

If past PSN sales are any indication, there will be a healthy mix between Indie and Retail (for example, in the 14 for 14 sale, the Vita games had Sly 4, Soul Sacrifice, Epic Mickey 2, and Killzone as retail games while plenty of Indie games joined them on the sale).

Its going to be awesome man!
 
Hopefully they're not all just $1 indie games then. Some deals on retail games would be nice.

My worry exactly. I have nothing against indies and could bite on some, but please, some discounts on bigger titles would be cool too. 99c for the sake of 99c... meh...

Seems like the former would be the case. $1 on retail games is one hell of a deep discount.

Hopefully not everything is literally $1 and there are PS+ discounts and retail games at $5-ish.

I do wonder though, some odd games were put up on PSN lately (Sonic Unleashed? Out of all the possible Sonic games to put up on PSN, why Sonic Unleashed almost six years after its original release...), so maybe those games will be part of this flash sale or something.
 
Whats with gods eater burst being listed under deals but still $20. It's like they know I want the game, but are just trolling with me when it comes to the price,
 
First the great EU sale, now the massive flash sale this weekend. It's like Easter Christmas time.

Good thing I decided to put some money in my debit card before the weekend. Now to buy a couple of US PSN Store Cards from amazon.

Wouldn't be the first time a digital release of a older title has happened out of the blue, Ratchet & Clank Tools of Destruction for example got a stealth digital release on the PAL PSN store a few months ago iirc.
