that's great news. maybe I should bump my support amount

Yes indeed. I wasnt sure if I DL this to PS4 or Vita. But now I know, I DL it to both systems.

In another news. DoS being down 3rd day for me. I used 10€ and bought NHA:NPE megapack. Havent played the series at all. Kinda got influenced by Toma & others (ty fellow Gafers). Hopefully it is money well spent.

Edit 50pp gafer here:

Get Destiny of Spirits, hopefully it works in 10h time again. Been spending over 100h to it and amount of money Ive put to game is 3,45€. Its fully playable without single dime.
 
i know nothing about vita though, am i right about this newer slim model coming out in just a couple weeks? is it only being sold in this borderlands 2 bundle so far? if the new model is just around the corner i wanna hold off and make sure i'm not buying the older ones.

this is the new one right?

Yup, that is the new one. Don't be dismayed by the "OLED is the king" posts you might encounter on the net. I've experienced the Slim here in public (it was already available here since January) and it also looks good as the old one.

awesome, thank you :) and yeah, oled is nice but i'm all for an lcd screen if it is going to allow for extra battery life. I'm excited, i haven't had a portable in a long time.
 
Not sure if posted but boxart for tales r + confirmed card on europe

Look cool.

No one noticed you? I would just slam the window.

Btw freedom wars site updated.

When do you think it'll release? September-October in the West?

Looks amazing. Hope Toukiden releases again in February or I won't be able to hold all those games xD

Looks like SCEA just wasnt prepared for those sudden PS1/PSP sales, can you blame 'em? Vita is for remote play, not for retro gaming

They have put the restrictions again?

Yes, Sadly, worst Sony move , EVER!
 
posts numbered 101, 201, 301 etc are top of the page for everyone ;)

Hah, everyday you learn new things, thank you :).
Ive got kinda problems how to spent my freetime.

Play FFXIV:ARR by PS4
Play ACIV:BF by PS4 (friend of mine loaned game to me and say play it through and give back)
Play DoS by Vita (when it works again)
Play NHA:NPE by Vita (when Ive downloaded it, bought 10e megapack).

Finish terrace gaging (for cats to use terrace, its spring even in Finland) by IRL.
 
just tried the Vita Slim myself..
the screen isn't that much of a problem.. it looks fine really.
the lighter weight, the whole feel of it is so much better.

im a convert lol
 
What do they mean by glass ?

Is it better than hori stuff ?

it's a layer of tempered glass. (0.4mm) if you ever drop your Vita face first, this thing can protect it from a shattered screen (at least it did for my Note3) more importantly, it's clarity beats any normal screen protector by far.
 
Post impressions and screenshots please! I need to know if it's native res.

Actually it really hard to tell due to the art style but Im guessing it not. Some of the full body models/ portraits of the characters look great. While in the overworld/battle phase player/enemies model seem to be rendered at a lower resolution. Take it as it is with a grain of salt. It a demo and my eyesights pretty bad :p.

It still quite colorful and stylized in a way that people might like. Will post some screenshots later on to show what I mention above.

The art style does make it rather difficult to see whether it is native res or not, but I think it is. Everything has this outline that makes characters and objects seem less sharp when the camera is zoomed out. If you take a closer look at when the character attacks the enemies, everything looks much clearer, possibly native res.

Aside from that, the UI, the text, the effects... they are all native res for sure.

In the end, the game still looks great. Like you said, the art style is really nice and will make up for the slightly lowered resolution (if there is any?).

Thanks, sounds promising enough. I'll probably give the demo a try myself sometime.
 
Yes, I finally was able to beat that son of a bitch boss in the first Muramasa DLC. Whoever played it knows who I mean.

Just needed to grind another 5 levels (did some before) and use like 8 roasted yams, 6 bear bile tablets, 3 sakes and some other stuff. The difficulty spike with him is just insane.

Congrats!

Sometimes I feel like fighting him again, now that I fully upgraded Okoi (she gets OP as hell). Some seconds later I dismiss such thought.

edit

The LCD isn't that bad really

The only game I tried that looks bad on the 2000 is Smart As. Dat yellow numbers. It's surely toned to look good only on OLED.
But since Vanillaware games looking awesome is all that matters, the LCD is perfectly fine.
 
Started Extreme in earnest of Project DIva f last night and holy shit the difficulty from Hard to Extreme is immediately noticeable. I didn't feel ready for it at all and I'm good at rhythm games lol. Gotta practice I guess.
 
Oh man, I would love this. Got it on my iPhone and am into it but the controls are fucking terrible.

Link?

you mean Another World/Out of this World? the oldie? link?

From joystiq:

"
Eric Chahi's classic side-scrolling adventure game Another World may soon see a re-release across multiple consoles and portable platforms, a recent USK ratings submission suggests.

Another World (released on 16-bit consoles as Out of This World) transports players to a harsh alien planet where they must fend off hostile humanoids and solve environmental puzzles to survive. The game saw an anniversary release on PC platforms in 2010, followed by ports for iOS and Android courtesy of retrogame remastering studio DotEmu.

Another World's ratings submission points to future ports for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, and PS Vita, with Digital Lounge listed as publisher. We've contacted DotEmu for more information regarding the listed release.

Agh I am so upset about these PS1/PSP games not working anymore. I was just about to buy some PSP games I missed, only managed to get Crash 1/2/3 on my vita before the change. Actually had a lot of trouble coming up with a control scheme that worked well for Crash 3 on vita, I have all gold relics in that game and about 50% platinum, and no control scheme on vita really gives me the control I need for platinum times. Oh well, love those games, probably just do a fresh play through next time I'm on a plane or something.
 
so i was playing a game on my phone at work today, and it was running like shit, so i started thinking about getting a newer phone that would be better for games. then i felt dumb and though why don't i actually just get a portable gaming device instead of paying a lot of money for a new phone just for mobile games. so i decided i'm gonna get a ps vita finally, especially since i've been seeing more cross play ps+ games and been getting curious about remote play.

i know nothing about vita though, am i right about this newer slim model coming out in just a couple weeks? is it only being sold in this borderlands 2 bundle so far? if the new model is just around the corner i wanna hold off and make sure i'm not buying the older ones.

yup this is the new one
 
Wait, why would Sony took back one of the greatest feature a while back? Must the result of some fucking exploit because I swear I see it in my a facebook page about turning demo into full game from this.

Licensing. Having games on the store isn't free.

It is probably illegal for them to do so.
 
I honestly don't know that much about the Strider IP in general -- just the generic story shared between the arcade game, the NES game, and the newest entry. I know there is a manga and I know Strider 2 was a PSOne game and Hiryu kicks total ass in the MvC series...
Gotcha. Yea, he is a monster in MvC. Tricky to get down in 3, but with proper assists he can be a very scary threat, and his assists are pretty great as well. A shame he isn't in more, but then again that could run the risk of him losing his badassery with potential over exposure, etc.
Alright, so I didn't know Child of Light had co-op. Not interested in buying another controller right now, but I should be able to use the vita as one. This was touted as a PS4 feature but I never see people talk about it. I'm guessing 'second controller' falls under remote play. Has anyone had success using this w/ other games?
I often wondered this too. Has anyone been able to do it without doing remote play? Certain PS3 games can do it, this should be a system feature on the PS4.. ;_;

As other peoplehave said, yea it is. Future congrats!
Has anyone tried Gran Turismo PSP on Vita? Any good?
I had it on my Vita for a while, before I needed some space. As long as you know the setup of GT PSP (no real campaign, random cars to buy in the shop each day, etc..), it works pretty well. Using the real stick is leagues above that nub. It looks pretty solid, too. Definitely the best thing available if you want realistic racing I think.

Catering to the cats is always the correct answer
 
May PS+ freebies for NA revealed: Stick it to the Man, (PS4), Puppeteer/Pro Evolution Soccer/Skullgirls Encore (PS3), Limbo/Surge Deluxe (VITA)

Welp. It's been some time since
Vita
EU PS+ outclassed US PS+ so hard.

And Surge Deluxe launched what, 2 months ago? It's still fresh on my Vita.

Boo-urns. Cool for Skullgirls. Been wanting it, but never pulled the trigger. Will be sure to buy any DLC to help them out, that dev team has done some stellar work.
Ugh. I was hoping for the EU vita games
You, me, and many others :( Murumasa would have been a dream to get, and I would have loved to see the worldwide increase in HSG players. Oh well...there's always June..
 
May PS+ freebies for NA revealed: Stick it to the Man, (PS4), Puppeteer/Pro Evolution Soccer/Skullgirls Encore (PS3), Limbo/Surge Deluxe (VITA)

Damn I already own Skullgirls Vanilla and Encore on PS3/Steam and Limbo :(.

Puppeteer is nice since I never played that I guess.

What the hell is Surge Deluxe though?

I already own Limbo thanks to the January sale. I'm actually happy many more people will play this game. I'm not even mad.
I better get a discount for the Atelier games or Muramasa though. Been waiting for an all-out Japanese devs sale so I can dip into them. Unfortunately though, they haven't been on sales for a while now.
 
i was lucky enough to still have access to downloads when the reverse roll out was starting for some people last night, and made sure to grab Suikoden, Soul Reaver, and Castlevania Chronicles to go with MGS1 & Genesis Collection from the other day

wanted a more, but i didn't even intend on spending what i did. good thing, though, since the download buttons is definitely gone today
 
Today has been a shitty day. First Sony removes all the games and then the bad ps+ lineup for vita for the US. I cannot GAF I cannot.
