I think you should go for the 3000 model. Because it has a better screen than the 2000. I only have the 2000 model. So I can't really compare those 2 models :/. But if I see some Youtube comparison video's, than it looks to me that the screen of the 3000 model looks much better :/(the screen looks more vibrant than the 2000 model).

Thank you. Is there any problem importing one from other regions? Unfortunately all models except the E1000 are discontinued here but a 3000 from the US would be hardy more expensive.

That sucks :(

What did you get spoiled on? I won't confirm or deny your spoiler if it ends up being true or false.

Just read one word
Junko!
without any context.
but the way it was written ! Made me suspect she's the mastermind. I thought that she might have been the burnt dead body judging by from the fingernails
so I don't know anything but it's annoying after being completely spoiler free up until now. I was able to go into the game blind didnt even know the premise.

I really want to say something, I said I wouldn't confirm or deny the spoiler. So, uhh... Enjoy the rest of the game!

I can't wait to plat that 'demo' and, if it's solid, buy the rest of the tracks/cars. Game looks amazing.

Isn't it only a single track? Sounds like a demo to me.

Kind of disappointed at the compatibility list for PS TV. The only thing there that I'm excited about is being able to play TxK on a big screen. No Soul Sacrifice, no Freedom Wars. No PDF and going to assume PDF 2nd won't be playable. No Wipeout...

I have one pre-ordered but I think I'll cancel it and shift the funds over to Freedom Wars.
Click to expand...
Pretty sure the games on the list are ones that work out of the box and don't need a patch. There are more games in Japan that got patched so they probably will in NA/EU. Freedom Wars definitely works on Vita TV in Japan for instance, so does Soul Sacrifice.

To me VK3 is the closest we can get to a western rpg(other than Borderlands 2 i guess), almost like Dragon Dogma and Soul series that i don't consider pure "japanese" rpgs , it's not just an aesthetic matter(more realistic design vs anime design) though.

VK3 has some weird and original choices(and that's probably why i like it, i love unique games that try new things), one of those is that "map-wise" is not that far from a metroidvania.
Like in metroidvania games the game is open world but many locations are blocked at the beginning, in metroidvanias you reach those locations thanks to new abilities, in VK3 you reach those location after obtaining certain keys, or after completing some side/story missions, there's backtracking too.



When they talk about PS4 games they never mention Vita or remote play, they mention remote play only when someone ask about Vita, if they really wanted to advertise remote play they should talk about it even without questions about Vita.

I am not only talking about realistic vs anime aesthetics, I wouldn't call the design of bioshock infinite, dishonored or even the later final fantasy games anime or realistic, but rather something in between.

I think that for me the problem with VK3 is that the unique featues or systems that you are talking about are well hidden or invisible if I watch a trailer or a preview of the game. In other games with interesting systems, like resonance of fate or the most recent game with some different systems, natural doctrine, I understand that they are different simply by watching a trailer of the game.

Your dedication to VK3 have peaked my interest for the game though, do you know of any video or lets play of the game that highlights the features that youare talking about?

I also have to say that the indoor environments in the game looks pretty good, but that most screens that I've seen before have been from the outdoors parts of the world (and it is hideous IMO).

How is the story and the characters in the game btw?

ps. I really like when ppl stand up for what they like and makes me question my own thoughts regarding a game.

Well you did ask. How long do I have left in the game if I'm at the start of ch6 trial?

Edit: Spolier tag what you wanted to say and I won't look until I've finished?

I think Soul Sacrifice was (along God Eater 2) one of the games they used to showcase the Vita TV in Japan. If not the original, Delta should receive a patch though.

I think Gravity Rush should work with some tweaks. They could put roll on O, L2 for the O function (picking up items with your Gravity powers) and R2 for throwing those boxes and stuff.

Uncharted: GA should work too as should Unit13, but nobody cares about the latter :P

Making Tearaway work would be imposible. I dunno about LBP Vita.

Don't know where you got your info about driveclub.

Sony confirmed, during their E3 conference, that PS Plus subscribers will get the "Driveclub PS Plus Edition" for free, on the same day as the full version release. This edition of Driveclub will include all Game Modes, Social Features, etc. However, it won't include all the car models nor some of the tracks. PS+ users get access to the 11 India tracks. There is also a PS+ upgrade to full version. Players get to retain access to upgraded version even if their PS+ subscription ends.

According to

http://www.play3.de/2014/09/19/driveclub-die-komplette-fahrzeugliste-enthullt/

These will be the free cars for PS+ edition:


Mini Cooper GP
Volkswagen Golf GTI
Bentley Continental GT V8
Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG
BMW M3 GTS
Maserati Gran Turismo MC Stradale
Audi R8 V10 Plus
BAC Mono
Pagani Zonda R
RUF CTR3 Clubsport

So SAO got the update in NA uh, enjoy it guys. Really the update just made an awesome game even better and much faster when I was playing it. Being able to pump out skills without having to wait for the long animations for example just made things so much better... Rebalanced health bars on mobs, refined Heroine AI, better GUI, all the extra content, etc. All games should take note of this patch, this is how you do it right.
 
Got my 64GB card installed. Seems like I need to re download some DLC for some reason. Also left my Vita on last night to download some stuff I had deleted a while back, only to see this morning that it paused my downloads....

Looked it up and it seems like leaving the Power Save option for Wifi on was the issue. Hopefully that doesn't happen again.

stop tempting me to get the game sigh. :/
I really want to play it but I kinda told myself - wait for a sale.

I remote played Watch Dogs and Child of Light from southern China to the U.S. east coast. Pretty much half way around the world.

Internet was slow just browsing and I was amazed it worked at all. Watch dogs really wasn't that playable but Child of Light was fine.

You just paired them up, or did you also open some ports on your router or something?

Tried to remote play 180km from home recently and the PS4 wasn't found (tried 70km from home too and it was found, but then got an error about the Vita internet speed being too low - still showed up on the remote play log at least).

The improved Hollow Area maps are going to make life so much easier.
 
I had put around 60hrs into the game before the patch dropped on the Asian copy, the changes were like night and day. Put another 40hrs on it since then, and I just would never see myself going back. I kinda just stopped playing but it was my favorite Vita game of the year along with DR2, it was so worth the import price. Can't wait for the sequel's reveal, whatever this dev team pumps out, I will buy it day 0.

Thanks for the hype. Can't wait to try it out. The issue in bold is probably the biggest thing for me.

Honestly i'm not trying to sell the game to you or any other, because imo very few people would be able to go through its faults and see the (many)good things it has, i'm just trying to make people understand that the game is not as bad as they think(without even trying it).

You see mostly the same outdoor environments because:
1)at the beginning most of the unlocked locations are outdoor
2)all the videos show only the first hours of the game(and even reviews clearly didn't bother to go on, some of them don't even know what they are talking about)

The same applies to game features.

New locations unlock after many hours, to see class switch effects you need first to level up a class a bit obtaining some of its abilities and only then to change with another class, and so on, all things that require time.

The only article written by someone who seems to have really played the game was from Kotaku, but the fanservice was the argument, not the game, this is the only bit about the game itself:

"What is Valhalla Knights 3?"you ask. Valhalla Knights 3 is an RPG for the PS Vita. The basic gameplay is very much similar to an MMORPG, except without the Massively Multiplayer Online part. You have a central base of operations in a large map sparsely filled with enemies. At your base – or in the case of Valhalla Knights 3, prison – you buy and sell equipment and loot, manage your party, and get quests to gather X number of item Y from enemy type Z for varying rewards. Altogether, it's a very standard RPG.P

It's similar to an MMO in that the plot is very flimsy and comes second to the level grinding. You have a number of different character classes you can switch your characters between, each with their own set level. The combat, while there is a bit of a learning curve, is little more than rhythmically pushing the attack button to execute combos and pray you haven't misjudged the enemy's strength.

If it all sounds boring, it probably is, except the game does a superb job of rewarding the player just enough to get them to keep playing. The leveling system is highly addictive and is probably why I've been grinding away for over ninety hours.

Locations are mostly 50% outdoor 50% indoor(caves count as indoor right?).

VK3 is not a looker but Vita got worse looking games that graphics-wise were not as destroyed as Vk3, as i have already said VK3 is an easy target for the ignorant hate.

Hm, seems odd to put the focus on the PS3 version. Wonder if they're just two different games?

I don't know any japanese, it was a question to the people that do know ;)

I wonder what makes it not a way of the samurai game. I have only played one of them, on the ps2 and from what I remember the combat system was pretty complex (?). I also remember that I seemed to have a lot of freedom when it came to who I should help etc. is this nostalgia speaking or was the games in fact pretty interesting?
