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

Only reason I am getting a vita is

1) Games

2) I am busy and can't lug a console or laptop around.

I plan to buy a PS4 once I am done with college (and a new PC for that matter).

Already have a list of PS4 games I want.
 
Can anyone recommend me a Vita (2k) carrying case?

I've been wanting to like actually use it as a portable console.. but unlike my 3DS I can't just throw it in my bag, worried about this thing getting scratched.

Look what arrived today.
Great choices there, that colored vita looks way better than I thought.
 
Its against the rules? That sucks :(. At least we have the PSN Thread :); like a said before, this is a great place for Vita owners :D.

Like you said, it'd end up locked. It'd only be locked because you're going against their rules on how platform threads are handled.

EDIT: Got my 10 post in. See y'all next month!

Well, thanks for letting me know about that :); don't have to worry about getting banned or anything now XD!

First off -- these photos don't do the beauty of this machine justice. Hot damn. If anyone's deciding between colors, this is definitely the one to go for. I can provide more pics on request for those on the fence. It's a radiant-yellow/highlighter-green.

I was concerned about the screen quality, but this does not disappoint. It's outstanding for an LCD. Also want to mention the ergonomics -- this is the most comfortable handheld gaming machine I've used since the OG GBA.

Going to order a 32 memory card in a bit. Maybe another set of screen protectors. (Ordered the pack of three screen protectors from IllumiShield, failed three times)

I want to see it any way you have it... Where did you order from?
 
Kinda want a 2000 now. I wonder if they'll release the pink one on NA. I don't want to buy a 2000 here in my place since the O and X are swapped. Kinda confusing if you're using an NA account. Still loving my 1000 though.

Go for 64GB. You came this far, go all the way!

SOTN looks great like that, by the way.
 
Excited for Strider 2 and Vib Ribbon. My recent obsession with all things PSOne is telling me I need to finally experience the latter of the two.
 
If you're a Vita owner, please do me a favor and check this thread about problems with the online "friends" scoreboards in certain games. Due to the timing of when the problems started, I believe it might be related to the firmware update that was released a few days ago.

Please let me know if you're having the same problem--or even if you've played some of those same games and are not experiencing a problem.

Well, If you buy a 2000 in our country, You can choose from the many colors available for Asia. The pink one is tempting me too, but I haven't seen one in the local game stores. Haven't checked Greenhills though.
 
Neon pink or light pink? I am grabbing the LP one (though dunno if it will be available in Taiwan..don't matter I guess lol)
 
Vib Ribbon on the way

i wonder what that bolded part could mean? :)

Imo it's only a matter of time till PS4 gets ps1/ps2 classics. I'd have guessed this major firmware update (1 year anniversary-ish), but since it wasn't that I'd guess in the next 6 months.


My first 10 days of being a PS4 owner:"how this POS could sell like it did, and fucked the vita in the process?". Destiny sucks, No games, no demos, barebones OS, etc.

Pretty dissapointed so far.

Do we really need the 'no games' crap in here? Besides, there's no way to run out of games in 10 days... just going through the ps+ games would take longer than that. Resogun, Wolfenstein, Infamous, Shadow of Mordor.... c'mon. Heck, I spent more than 10 days on Crimsonland alone, Don't Starve alone, Resogun alone, etc.

I realize not everyone has the same tastes, but if you bought a console that doesn't have a single game you want that's on you, no reason to post ridiculous vitriol about your bad decision making -- all it does it make this thread as annoying as something like the current 'will vita get a price drop' thread in regards to the 'no games'/'dead'/blahblah stuff.
 
I looked back a few pages and couldn't find any mention of it, so sorry if it's already been asked and answered, but does anyone know what's changed in today's new SEN/PSN terms of service?
 
So, any word on this week's sales? Is it possible that America will get the same last week's from EU? I want that Hotline Miami so badly on my Vita!

The 2000 is a thing of beauty compared to the 1000. I really want the light blue model one of these days.
 
So I'm looking to buy a 64 gig memory card for my Vita.

First place I checked was Amazon.com and I found a reseller with a $58 price tag. That can't be right? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F27JGVA/?tag=neogaf0e-20

The seller is Kawaii & Cool Stuff and they have a 100% positive rating (which in itself seems suspicious).

Should I believe this?

Also, where is the best place to get the 64 gig card for cheap?

you know they are charging $35 for shipping from Japan right? there's a cheaper seller fulfilled by Amazon

Don't know about you but it shows +$35 shipping for me.
People do this so they seem like they're the lowest price but then make up for it in the shipping.

I think that's what 32gb cards have been going for recently.

And I got my 64gb card from this import site based on recommendations on Gaf and CAG. It arrived about a week later, no complaints.

Edit: Well, apparently I missed the 64gb part. I thought I saw 32gb.
 
I miss the vita massive OT threads, and I miss the monthly vita threads, I miss the wrestlers in the Playstation store threads.

So much to miss, but these massive PSN threads are nice.
 
There is no such conflict among NintenGAF. I think I have a pretty good idea what the difference might be but it's probably not worth going into it, haha.

While I have a vague idea, since the Playstation family doesn't consist of PS users only and third parties are going strong inside the whole PS branches that the taste and type of games got released are wide in range of taste, I'm curious about what's your theory/conclusion.

I don't want to stir up needless shit, though.

Got my import copies of Neptunia U LE and Girls Und Panzer for Vita. More import goodness.

As much as I love GuP, doesn't the game have pretty bad feedback?

We could mask it as "I just got a Vita!" thread and role with that :D!
"LTTP: I just got a Vita! October 2014 edition"

It's going to get locked anyway.

my $10 PSN credit from Sony Rewards finally arrived
hmm what to buy

Damn. It's not instant? I thought they will give us right away since it's only a code.

Add that amount into Shinovi Versus purchase.

There's plenty of diversity on Nintendo platforms, I think the cause lies in the differences between PS4 and Vita and their respective userbases. The combination of niche platform + strong following in these threads takes its toll. Then there's also thread-specific differences, e.g. discussion in the Nintendownloads threads solely pertains to DL-related topics (news, questions, speculation). Game discussion all takes place in the respective OTs which is something this thread could benefit from (imo). But ok, they don't have to work the same way, of course. :)

It seems that several other people share my point of view. And even if I was the only one to feel this way, this is the ps4 topic as well. Don't be that guy, please.
 
Fuuuuuuuuuck

My Vita fell and how has a pretty deep scratch in the screen. It's pretty small but noticeable when the screen is really bright. Any good screen protectors for the Slim?

Correct colour choice. Had that model since the start of this year and it's still a beauty to look at every time I take it out of the case. I'd go for a 64GB over a 32 though. They fill up fast.

shoot, missed that. www too fixated on the low price.

awesome, I'll check that out!
 
I haven't seen people's impression about Shinovi Versus' multiplay much. Hopefully it's not just a tack on multiplaying for the sake of having multiplay.

It seems that several other people share my point of view. And even if I was the only one to feel this way, this is the ps4 topic as well. Don't be that guy, please.

The PS4 currently also has the same problem as the Vita, that many of those games could be played on PC, too. Shadow of Mordor is a fantastic game, but I got it on Steam as gift from my brother, hence my PS4 continues to stay there as a Diablo 3 machine.

At least 2015 is looking pretty good for PS4 users who are not into open world/FPS games.

On another note, Devil May Cry, Mega Man-Inspired Beyond-Human Could Be Coming To PS4, Vita.
 
Managed to put some good down time on NepReb and now I see why people enjoy the series. The quirkiness and self awareness of it all is such a breath of fresh air. Also the combat is pretty fun. I'm liking the game quite a bit, although it took a bit to click in.

Check out the OT for some tips and advises to save you from headache early on. Particularly the last several pages.

Or I could summary it for you:

Guessing SK will be digital-only in Europe? I liked what I played of Burst so I'll definitely get SV.

Unfortunately, yes. It's kinda strange seeing many Vita games are starting to have digital only in EU, while NA is getting niche game sin physical form.

Huh.. don't know if anyone's posted this already but the Crunchyroll store has an extra item bundled in for the Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus -LE-

Isn't it less than what we have on Amazon LE? I mean, they said it's only a game and a mystery game related item, while the LE we are getting on Amazon has the game, the OST CD and the book.

I'm not a fan of mystery gift unless I know it's a kind of nendoroid/figure.

Even in NA the game will not get a regular retail release, only the Limited Edition.

According to that Xseed guy who posts frequently on NeoGAF, it was already difficult to convince distributors to do a Limited Edition at all. And apparently doing any sort of retail release at all for Bon Appétit is completely out of the question, due to how raunchy it is.

I really hope more people will order the LE instead of buying it digital, so they will change their mind about retail release for those type of games.

Or at the very least, change their mind about games released by XSEED. Conception II got promoted by retailers just because it's from NISA.

I would have ordered an LE just to get a physical copy. Xseed won't let me get physical. :c
