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

However, it's borderline criminal that PS2 classics aren't playable on the Vita, I would be lining Sony's pockets with money every month.

Emulators aren't magical. The Vita is most likely not powerful enough to properly emulate PS2 games at 100% performance.

Hmm. Well I think it would be best to wait and see what the actual announcement is before reacting. In any case Gravity Rush should get a PS4 port. I love the game and want to see it in glorious 1080. But I also want to play GR2 first on my Vita.

I agree with this sentiment. I first had this thought when I played the game first time and reached vendecentre. That opening cinematic with huge crowds and music made me excited but when the game loaded the area the streets were empty from above. :/

Kinda curious, how many people here have both the Vita and the PS4? I have noticed a bunch of my friends who all have a Vita, are still holding back in buying a PS4 because the lack of Japanese games on the system, and look like all of them think early 2015 will be the time to jump in. I guess I am still the only one with a PS4 until next year among my group.

I've got both - I don't see any point in waiting a year or two to save 100 euro.

I still do not get it. He simply posted that gif. He could be referring to anything. Maybe for that bravely default vita post?
Couldn't he?

You're right, it is open to interpretation. But a lot of folks in the thread came to the conclusion that Shin was implying it's PS4 exclusive, and soon after he edited his entire post. Suspect behaviour, as if he gave too much away or something.

do people really like armored core
Click to expand...
YES. But...I haven't played any properly since they came out on PS3...just borrowed copies for a few days...nothing like I used to be on PSX/PS2/PSP days. I would sit for hours, designing my most perfect Core....getting all the stats tp line up just perfectly. Or training my AI in the PSP release...so many memories..

I do! I just need to get the Destiny PS4 Bundle so I have a PS4 to match each Vita. I'm only partly joking.

ahh memories. On PSP launch day, I plugged in some headphones, plopped in Darkstalkers, and just sat there listening to the menu music in awe:

then i couldn't really play it because the dpad was flat, but it plays really nice on Vita.

DS:Chaos Tower was my first PSP game I bought! Had it before it system was released, I remember pouring over the instruction manual. Then trying to play it. It was tricky at first, but any seasoned FG player could adjust to the flat pad. THEN...the miracle of dpad & button mods came along, I opened up my PSP and made everything clicky, and perfect. Like a PS2 controller. DS, GGAC, and SFA3u became HEAVEN on that machine.

VitaGaf, I'm in tears ç_ç yesterday my Vita fell for the first time. It was partly my fault as I left it in a "dangerous" place, and then my mother inadvertitely made it come down. Now it has two dents on top. I managed to keeping it mint for over a year... ç_ç

Noooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I remember when I dropped my White LE Vita for the first time after I got it...I was so mad at myself. Yea, it's only cosmetic..but YOU see it every time you get it out. Can't help but run your finger over the wound. You flinch when you do, as if you are fingering a cut of your own...soo sorry D: My launch Vita has some edge wearing, and the UPC sticker on the bottom is secured with tape for me. I'm interested to see what battle damage everyone's Vita has collected. No mater what you do...it just happens sometimes....
 
are there any import friendly Vita dungeon crawlers? i always try to google for some sort of import friendly list but no one seems to maintain one.

specifically, i'm looking for a full on english option, inventory in english, etc.

I have both personally, though I definitely play my Vita more. If I have an indie game cross buy on both 100% of the time I prefer playing on Vita. Not sure why, but things like OlliOlli and Don't Starve got much more Vita playtime than PS4. I could see people who like Vita offerings holding back on PS4, because the games coming out on each are markedly different besides the cross-buy indies. Besides Diablo 3, honestly I haven't found much to play on my PS4 since my brother left and we don't play MLB the Show 14 local competitive anymore.

People thought the controls on Vita were hard?? I loved the controls! Always thought the more sensitive gyro aiming in GR was far superior to Uncharted’s aiming. But I gotta agree about controls on PS4. I don’t think it would feel as natural as having the world inside the screen, in your hands. Adding Morpheus support would be a different story though. I want more Kat on my Vita!
Click to expand...

I was thinking about that and I kept on coming back to motion sickness. I think GR is too fast for VR. You'd also need an expensive Sony peripheral, and we all know how Sony supports things that aren't their home consoles.

- We know Toyama is developing a "sort of a sequel" of Gravity Rush.
- Tearaway PS4 could be considered a "sort of a sequel" of Tearaway Vita (50% of new content)

What does this mean?

Gravity Rush 1 + new content (basically GR2) for PS4, named Gravity Rush: Subtitle
Click to expand...

Maybe they'll just name this one Gravity Daze worldwide. Vita version is longer canon.

Demon Gaze Global Edition is the only one, but you might as well buy the US version since it's the same thing.

This is a fact so many people don't seem to get, especially when asking for classics on handhelds, like GBA games on 3DS or PS2 games on Vita. "But the Vita/3DS is more powerful than the GBA/PS2!" Yes, but what you don't understand is that your Vita/3DS has to be powerful enough to pretend to be that system it is emulating while still being a Vita/3DS. It is a lot like running a windows XP virtual machine as a separate window on a Mac, it takes much more to get it to run than it would to just get XP to run on that machine.

All that said, I would love PS2 classics on Vita and GBA games on 3DS, but I also understand that these things are difficult to implement and that there can be good reasons why they don't work already.

P.S. No the ambassador games don't count as 3DS running GBA games, this is a convoluted hack that tricks your 3DS into thinking it is a DS running a GBA cart, and does not allow any Virtual Console conveniences such as saved states, as well as has many bugs. No way Nintendo wants to release more games in this sad state.
 
I read that Shinobi heavily hinted at Crash Bandicoot: Loli Hunting All Night being exclusive to the PSVita, I'm not gonna post a source but trust me.

Finished Murasaki Baby, wrote up some quick impressions in the OT.

tl;dr: Buy this game.

Nice write up. My girlfriend is not a big gamer, but she really enjoys creepy Tim Burton type aesthetic, so she had a great time watching me play through Murasaki Baby. It really is an awesome little game with a great sense of personality and style, I am thoroughly glad I bought it (and that PS+ discount was just icing on the cake).

Glad to hear it! :D If you can find the time, maybe drop a positive line or two in the OT.
 
Woohoo!

Managed to bring my PS3 back to life!

Had to put its HDD in an enclosure, hooked it up to my Mac, wiped it, and reinstalled the latest firmware with USB.

If I knew it would be that easy I would have done it months ago.

About to boot up FFX HD in glorious 1080p. I need a Slim or Super Slim though, this fat is so bloody loud.

The PS4 standing in a corner in the living room is my Vita accessory. When I am playing a PS system, I tend to use my Vita, be it native games or through RP (Cannot remember the last time). The lack of "fun" games for the PS4 makes it even less used in this house. Yeah, I think I play on my Wii U a lot more than my PS4...

Looks like we both have friends waiting on the japanese games to come, but I am a bit afraid that we have to wait for late 2015 for most of them.

Heh :/ it happens, my phone is riddled and my iPod touch has some dents too but this time I felt really bad :/

That's been an awful week for my Vita. Aside from the fall, I don't think that being on for almost 30 hours in the span of 3 days is safe.

I wanted to play R&C2V after finishing Velocity but I guess I'll put it to rest for a while haha

Do you think the New 3Ds could emulate GBA or SNES games?

And more importantly, is the PS4 powerful enough for local PS2 emulation?!
 
So I just noticed that Thief, Tomb Raider Definitive Edition and Murdered Soul Suspect are $17.99 for PS+ users and $19.99 without on PS4.

Is $19.99 a permanent price drop for both or is it a sale price?

Definitely gonna get Tomb Raider at that price, what do you guys think about Murdered? Worth it for $17.99?

That's a sale price. There's a Capcom and a Square Enix sale this week.

I trust you. If it turns out to be a hoax, we're going to have a private talk. On the roof.

Yeah, buying that one will definitely put you on a government watchlist:

I think there are some import friendly titles at early 2015, so it doesn't look that bad.
