Hello VitaGAF.

Been a long time lurker here, but just wanted to pop in to say hi since my account was just activated and everyone seems so friendly here.

I'm sporting both an OLED Vita as well as a Light Blue 2000.

I keep the 2000 inside one of those Nintendo Animal Crossing Pouches just because the pouch looks so soft. Blasphemous huh? :)

Haha I keep my charger in a club nintendo pouch. Nothing's exploded yet.
 
Looks like we were both part of the same batch. :D

To keep my post relevant to the thread, whats the consensus of the vita port of Phantasy Star Online 2? I played the PC version quite heavily and am wondering if it's worth the import and the gargantuan memory card required.

The vita version is pretty nice and there was a lot of people the last time that I played. Most of the PC features are on the Vita version as well, but they don't share servers.
 
I really want to play more Borderlands 2 and restart to go back to the guy with the turret... I kinda wish Destiny of Spirits didn't exist.

If it makes you feel anymore better, some idiot fine individual actually bought the shirt lol
SEVENTY TWO US DOLLARS
I wish I could just throw money as casually like that.

Disconnect your vita to the Net. Or better yet block the MAC / IP address of your Vita from your Modem.
 
around 120 hrs in to FFX-2..have yet to complete half of chapter 5. damn creature creator taking so much of my time..i need to finish this before mon mon comes.. XD
 
I almost never use reaction gifs, but the one below exactly mirrors my feelings on Binding of Issac Rebirth.

Yeah, this gif is the perfect way to describe how I feel every time this thread gets updated.

:O

No...case...?? You monster! Anyone else sporting a naked Vita?

Mine is naked when it's at home, but I use a sleeve when I take it out to work with me, just for a little protection.
 
How can you tell when something is native res? I guess I'm not paying too much attention to that as long as it's not ugly looking. ha ha

Minimum jaggies while playing.

I compare some stuff like Toukiden since that one's native res. You have to intentionally look for jaggies to find them.

Minimal jaggies and it doesn't have a "soft" (blurry) look is how I normally tell if a game is sub native or not. It really stands out when they're subnative. I don't know how you people don't notice this stuff.

It's quite alright as some of us here owns a lot of Nintendo devices as well. Better than being naked if you ask me.
Oh god Neptunia U is doing a collab with gakuen handsome

Those old school chins!

Dynamic res games are usually okay for me too. I noticed a drop in resolution occasionally in Wipeout 2048, but I had no idea that KZM did the same thing until I read the Digital Foundry article.
 
So it just got announced that Disgaea 4 for the Vita will be released in 8/12 for NA and 8/29 for EU.

Anybody here interested in buying it? I'll probably buy it day one if there are no other interesting games or sales that pop up in between.

Those new sprites will look amazing on dat OLED screen (sorry Vita 2000 owners). I probably won't buy any more games from now until D4.
 
Thanks for the comparison Flandy. I guess it really is easy to tell when it's native or not.

And this also gives a good example why there is such a fuss when Xbox One games don't hit 1080p and run as some arbitrary sub-HD resolution. Rendering at the native res of your display is key for getting clean IQ.

At least for consoles there's the luxury of sitting a few feet away from the screen. It's a lot easier to tell on Vita since you're only ever like a foot away from your screen. It wouldn't even be that if Toukiden ran at 720x408 but only if the Vita also had a 720x408. It's the scaling of the image up to 960x544 that fucks up the image quality
 
That's a pretty good comparison, but I'd say it's not quite fair for most sub-native games. They don't usually have that distortion you get when you upscale an image like that. The only game on Vita I've seen look that bad is the awful port of Ratchet and Clank: Full Frontal Assault:

Most sub-native games I've seen have a native resolution interface - which usually looks pretty good IMO (still noticeable, but not too bad, especially on the Vita's screen):

There are some games that don't have a native res UI, unfortunately. For example, Hot Shots Golf (though overall, the game still looks decent since it has some anti-aliasing):

Well it was free over a year ago. I assume they just never removed the advertising from that page
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/03/25/playstation-plus-disgaea-3-free-on-ps-vita-for-members/

It won't be going free anytime soon if ever.

No.

It was free a year ago but not anymore.

Basically it's free only if you already bought it when it was part of the IGC. If this is your first time subscribing to PS+ then you have to start from this month's IGC.

Always use this site to see what is free for Plus members this month:
Store.SonyEntertainmentNetwork.com

If Disgaea 3 doesn't show up among the Plus games then you won't get it if you sign up for Plus.
 
The PSP did have great racers but I bought the Vita for Vita games, already had a PSP. I am not the absolute graphics nerd but having the higher fidelity is important for me. Think €10 are fair for the game and even the €15.50 that I payed for being an idiot and buying the DLC is also ok.
The actual gameplay is fun, the content is ok with the ultimate package. I can understand why this game got bad reviews though. Full price with all the microtransactions are a big rip off.

There are only 4 good racers on the Vita. I don't like Sonic Racing, Wipeout is different with the futuristic racing and NFS: MW also has a different handling even though it is also an arcade racer.

Just pointing out some options. I bought ridge racer vita at launch :) it's ok but for me it has lost a little something, feels a bit soulless. And the drifting is OTT (prefer the older handling). Still fun though

Agree with you on sonic racing.

Did you ever play split/second on PSP? Wondering whether to buy it.
 
I got the Sly collection for vita and just to let you all know, the game is cross buy. The code that came with mine is apparently both for Sly3 vita and the PS3 version of the Sly collection. I think this is the first vita retail game where getting a vita copy nets you a digital PS3 version. Neat.
 
Just bought all the Muramasa DLCs.

Haven't tried the farmer DLC but so far I'm having fun with the cat DLC. So much combinations could be had with her.

Too bad I can't play it because suddenly my sister likes the game. I'll play it when she finishes Kisuke's story.

Maybe I should buy another Vita? 1000 or 2000?

Us or eu region?

I will get it when it goes on sale since I finished it on ps3 already.

That reminds me I still have Disgead 3 shrink wrapped waiting to be played :D
 
I've been playing some Guacamelee on Vita, and I just beat the Tree Tops section. That's definitely one of the hardest things I've ever done in a game.
 
the youtube app is amazing.

The quality of the videos are amazing on my tv.

Not sure if its doing full HD by default, but im really impressed.
 
It's a tycoon game, the touchscreen is perfect for it so the assumption isn't weird. It's also not a big budget game from the looks of it and the Vita does (did?) get some exclusives from SCEE.
I am still not convinced Sony will make every Vita game multiplatform.

Yeah, but they actually said in the PSBlog they'll try to use that game to push some artists. In the moment I read this it was evident that the game would release on more platforms.


Ridge Racer Vita is a great game, haters gonna hate.

I liked it so much when it came out and still do: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=457575

I think the problem was the the game was quite barebones at first. Full price game with little content and a lots of DLCs.

There is a version with all the digital content added iirc. Or most of it.
