PlayStation Network Thread (Vita/PS3/PS4) | July 2014

Is the Ratchet & Clank trilogy still coming out today?

The drop wasn't edited out like last week, so the collection is still coming today :). The only thing unknown yet is that if the game is cross-buy or not; EU that was the case and considering the way it is coming to NA (no retail version), Cross-Buy would be the best way to make up for things (both no retail version and the long time it took to come to NA).

But, considering this is SCEA we are talking about, I doubt the collection will be cross-buy X(.
 
Someone sell me on Phantom Breaker, why should I be interested?

From what I understand of it, it is a very Scott Pilgram like game; old-school beat-em-up with really nice looking sprite art and some fun combat :). Sounds like a good game to me :D.

If you liked Scott Pilgrim, you'll like this game. It's a beat-'em-up with multiple characters & you can level up, which then allows you to use points to either increase your attack, speed, or defense or earn new skills. Even cooler is if you feel as though a certain set list isn't working at the moment, you can just reset how you used the points &, say, take a few points from speed & put them towards attack. I'd say I'd prefer this over SP (which I also liked) because there's only 2 planes that you can walk on, making it much easier to attack/hit enemies but still giving you the chance to dodge attacks, plus leveling up & attacking/performing feels a bit better in this game.

& looks like the store is slowly updating, as I'm seeing Treasures of Montezuma Arena on the browser store & found it on the Vita store via search.
 
Ratchet & Clank Collection for Vita is up and doesn't appear to be cross-buy, that's disappointing

why does SCEA hate us?

So I am going to have a good laugh today :D! .....FU Sony X(.

You have NA buyers wait for WEEKS to play this on there Vita's and when you finally launch it....not only there is no retail version but it isn't cross-buy either :l. Oh well, I still have the PS3 version to play at least :D....
 
For how much? What about the download size?

It's 30 bucks and it has the the file size of 3.3 GB's. It said that the collection is a bundle, so I guess the game are individual downloads per game :l.

If that is the case, then they should have sold them separately at 10 bucks (I would have no issue paying 10 bucks just for Ratchet 3 :D)...... But whatever :l.
 
What's SCEA's record for cross-buys for their collections? Did US get shafted on Jax and GOW trilogies as well? Do they just want to sew ill-will with Vita owners?

Cross-Buy?

Jak? no
God of War? yes
Sly Cooper? no
Ratchet & Clank? no

Thanks, only bought physical releases for the Vita collections and never had to wonder about it.
 

Yah, PS4 games are way to huge to fit on Vita :l. Sorry, I'm just really bitter about this whole stupid Collection crap :(. This should be Cross-Buy for a number of reasons (EU had this Cross-Buy, the Collection is Digital only in NA, there is no retail version and it came out much latter then the EU build) but....it isn't :(.
 
Guys...I think the Ratchet & Clank is cross buy. I just bought the Vita version and it asked to download it to my PS3 or Vita. Anyone else have this?

Vita to PS3 cross-buy, but not the other way around? That's like buying PSASBR or Sly 4 on the PS3.

No sadly :(; the game tells you that you can download it to your PS3 and then transfer the Vita version over to you Vita via Wifi or Cable transfer.

all Vita games do that because you can download the Vita game to your PS3 and transfer it over
 
I just want to know the reasoning behind making the God of War Collection cross-buy but not the Sly Cooper and Ratchet & Clank collections :-/

It probably has more to do with the massive scamming of free god of war Vita copies than anything else.

Remember the first day of God of war Vita's launch? If you downloaded both free trials at the same time, and had never let them expire it convinced the system that you were entitled to the vita version. That risk probably soured them on the whole thing. Owning the ratchet & clank collection on PS3, I am very dissapointed in this. it is unlikely I will buy it now, especially since I can't hold out for a really cheap physical copy like with Jak and Sly.

That's a stupid reason when the Ratchet Collection doesn't even HAVE PS+ Trails to deal with along with fact they could of easily taken the God of War and Sly Collection PS3 trails of the network (effectively making that glitch not possible). It's there network, so they shouldn't blame the consumer for there own mistakes X(.
 
That just means that the collection can be ON the console it is downloaded too :l. It is a bit confusing (and something Sony should clear up) but that is the case.

Ah. Nuts. Sony really should change the wording of that. I checked the PS3 download version and it doesn't have the download button (like when you buy it).
 
I went all digital in the beginning until I started running out of memory. Now I buy physical copies so I can save some room for other games.

And that's why I'm going full retail, digital when there is no other option, except that I don't import retail games from other regions, so I got games like NLKS and DBZ digital even though Europe got retail prints of those.
 
Quick question. The PS+ titles will be switched out next Tuesday, right? I'm gonna see if I can use the 14-day free trial on my sub account & then grab Muramasa so I can have it on my account when the DLC is on sale again, then use the rest of the time on my master account until there's something I want on Vita again & then start using PS+ on that.

Just wish I knew earlier they made it so sub accounts could use PS+ again. Didn't seem to work in 2011...
