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


Thanks tef!

Top of page: Buy Frozen Synapse Tactics even though I haven't played it but it seems to be all the rage these days.

1 > 0.



Top of my head would be Senran Kagura Estival Versus, Way of the samurai, Luminous Arc, God Eater 2 Rage Burst, The Scissor Project. I remember there are more titles announced in TGS, but currently only those came to mind.

And that Digimon game everyone wants.

Digimon Cyber Sleuth, Senran Kagura EV, new Luminous Arc game, Dungeon Travelers 2-2, Stranger of Sword City, and GE2RB are a few notable ones off the top of my head.

Still a bunch of releases left in 2014 though including Ar no Surge Plus, Phantasy Star Nova, Dekamori SK physical, Gundam Breaker 2, Chaos Rings Trilogy, Mahouka OOO, Dengeki Bunko FC, EDF portable 2, and some others.

Not including VNs of which there are dozens.

Thanks guys. I'm trying to get a feel for why Vita's 2015 will be like; I've seen people suggest it will be pretty dire :(.
 
Anyone know what's coming out for Vita in 2015? I'm talking Japanese releases.

Hello everyone! I've been here for a very long time, but this is my first post!

I think I'm a little OCD about gaming...I've got most of the systems (PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii U, and of course PS Vita, and a gaming PC) and a huge backlog of games. My only problem is never having enough time to play (or even open!) a lot of my games, and the stack just keeps growing. I just love gaming in general, consoles, PC, you name it.

Well, the Vita is my main reason for posting here though. VitaGaf is awesome and has been a wonderful source of information. I have two Vita's (black and white, but the white is kind of a "collector's item" for me so I don't really game on it). I love my Vita's, and even though I'm not thrilled about the lack of AAA games coming in the future from Sony, I am kind of excited that we are seeing so many great Japanese games come to the US. I have a tremendous backlog of Vita games to work through as it is...right now, still playing Persona 4 and Akiba's Trip (which is a lot of fun to me, by the way...kind of awesome to rip clothes off of people, haha!)

Mainly, I just wanted to introduce myself, and say "thanks" to all of you for being the best source of gaming news on the planet. You guys are awesome, and I hope to get to know you better and perhaps play online with some of you someday!!

I can only assume you've at least purchased one of the Atelier + Games right?

RIGHT

I would buy Criminal Girls. No one can stop me.

I guess you visited that Media Create thread? Vita is dying there, every week. It's already dead in NA, though.

From a localization standpoint, it's possible.

But from a release standpoint 2015 already looks stellar considering we're still 3 months away. Vita's as healthy as it's ever been in Japan right now and the constant stream of new announcements is strong.

To be honest, the hardware number is worrisome. It keeps declining.

I already bought it once (PSP), and I'll buy it again.

Though I postponed it again since I decided to get Surge Concerto games.

I need my KanKore Extreme Vs.

I may have been reading that thread...

Good to hear.
 
And I just reached the point in Sly Cooper Vita where I stopped playing in the original PS2 version...

The Murray race in the second level. I know it's not Mario Kart, but fuck sake, I have never played a racing game that was this hard to control. I cannot even break the top 3. Any tips that SC players hanging out here can give me would be soooo appreciated.

I'm going to assume this SC1. Get used to the utter horrible physics and get every nitros jar as soon as they appear. Enemy cars can get them but not use them so get am as soon as possible. When nearing curves slow down a bit and get ready to swerve. Good luck cause this is probably the second worst mini game I've ever played.

And you should. Surge Concerto is a much better purchase. Everyone should give Ar tonelico franchise a try.

I also want Kancolle Extreme Vs. I would buy every DLC they offer. I would sacrifice my cat to have that game.
I have no cat.
 
Hmm, sounds interesting...complicated but interesting.

It isn't nearly as complicated as it sounds. You sort of just draw out exactly how you want your guys to move, and they do. The 'hard' part is surviving, of course, since you do need to properly advance. If you rush into a room with 2 enemies, your guy will die in a hail of bullets. If you approach the room tactically and breach properly, they'll die.
 
Thanks tef!

lol, there's a ton of games which are currently undated officially (not even windowed) which I've left off but will likely hit next year.

I haven't been keeping up week to week but it looks like it's still doing 3x better than last year at the same time. Software-wise Vita multiplatform versions of games sell better than their PSP/PS3 counterparts fairly often as well. It's no 3DS but there's definitely a unique audience there that certain genres will sell well to.

(´・ω`・) Don't you mean Super KanColle Wars
 
I find your lack of life and hometown is disturbing.

Last week it's almost on the level of the PS4. Made my heart jumped a bit.

I would sacrifice 2 cats. For this game to become true.

One month.

So I could activate my 14 day trial pass at the end of this month and grab spelunky for ps3 and vita.. May as well get ps4 right?

Than it should roll into November allowing me to get that month correct? Like binning of Isaac hopefully.

Omg console talk &#9786;

Yes, as long as you activate it within 13 days of the new games coming in you'll have enough time on each side of the switch to "tag" both sets of games. Once the PS+ sub expires though, you can't play them 'til you re-sub.
 
I would sacrifice 2 cats.

I'd sacrifice 3,
Dont Sacrifice cats :(. I dont like cats being sacrificed.
Instead:

There are so many games I should buy and so little money to buy them. I even need another DS4. Also shitloads of Vita games + I really need that 64Gb (got 16Gb and its always full :o).

Maybe I just wait GTAV to be released and buy it & near christmas buy D3:RoS & another controller.

But no one cares about chicken.

You can use your Vita as the 2nd controller for the PS4 by utilize the remoteplay feature. D3 UEE is a good choice if you want to having a good time for couch co-op game session.
 
Drive by post:

Bit.Trip Runner 2 is still fucking amazing.

Seriously getting my monies worth out of this game. I'm chasing some of the top scores on my friends list but it's hopeless... My four year old summed it up perfectly:

"You're not very good at this game"

Ah good point to RP.. But I think I will sacrfice some money from tax refunds (in Finland we get them at beginning of december (4.)) and buy that controller & D3:RoS for couch coop.

I should re-install. I ran perfect + on all the hard levels. Really deserves a platinum that game.
 
Finally gave up and moved on to Sly 2. Best decision of the night. Fuck the first game and that stupid race. Fuck it in the ear.

I'm not sure what my rarest trophy is, but my only Platinum is in Tearaway.
 
I am not sure whether it applies to Austria as well. Do you see a promotion banner if you access the webstore?

I bought Hatsune Miku Pdf despite not being into the music that much and the game is really great and it is quite challenging on the hardest difficulty. Maybe you should just check out some clips on Youtube or download the demo, just to see whether you are okay with the music because some people might be really put off by it.
Other than that there is also DJMax Technika Tune and I think some Vita-Gaffers really liked it. It's not available in EU so you'd have to import it.

Thanks, downloading the demo of Project Diva right now, will see how that goes. If I like it, should I get the first one, or will the second one in a few weeks make it obsolete?

Rarest trophies on Vita: Probably the Hot Shots Golf Plat with 0,2%
Rarest trophies on PS3: Two on Rock Band 3, the one for 5-starring every on-disc song on expert (0,6% or something) and those for Pro-Bass (0,4% I think)
 
Yes, buy it. It holds up very well because of the save system, not particularly high difficulty, explorability and RPG systems. ON the other hand I find the pre-SOTN castlevanias take some serious getting used to to say the least.
This sounds good, thanks. I'll buy it tonight.
