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

It's a bit weird how some of the commonly appraised vita-gaf games this year (Toukiden, Demon Gaze, SAO) were all so lukewarmly reviewed (high sixties, low seventies metacritic).
Review scores are proportional to marketing budget.

TOPR: eat more cheese, less toast.
 
Anyone else having problems connecting to psn after the new firmware update? I updated my system 10 minutes ago, and now I cant connect.
 
The PlayStation Network is clearly bursting from the seams at this point. The massive popularity of the PS4 has created an increase in load that they still haven't properly scaled up to.
 
Rockstar game sales, but can't actually see them because the psn site still sucks
 
Does anyone else's Vita still sometimes pop up notifications you turned off? I turned off the "friend joined a party" notification because it's the dumbest one, but sometimes I still get it...
 
Seems like there will be an EA sale as well, one banner shows it on the store but broken link so far.

Looks like i'll be picking up Dracula X, Vice City, Chinatown, and Liberty City stories. Now to just wait for price updates.

They should use that money they get for PS+ to like... do stuff.

Truth.

Also, I love cheese on toast out of the oven, and as much as I like cheese the image of a piece of cheese that's larger than the piece of toast it's on is freaking me out.
 
Zen Pinball: The Walking Dead seems to be on sale.
Played a couple of rounds of it on my Nexus 7 and it's really good. Remember to buy it on Vita
(or PS3)
to activate it's cross-buy.
 
What about season 1? What is the price normally?

Season 1 is on sale for $7.99 for Plus members. PS3 version is on sale and I'd assume the Vita version is too but I can't confirm since I'm having issues with the store. Think the normal price is either $20 or $25
 
Which of the PSP GTA games are worth getting?
They are all damn good. They all play like the classic GTA though, as in no camera control via right stick.

Vice City stories is THE best though. So much in that game, almost more so than GTAIV. There is stuff in that game that has yet to be in other GTA games, like a fairly complex business operation management.

Liberty City Stories is also great, it introduces motorcycles to that Liberty City for the fort time ever. Other good unique mission types are available as well.

Chinatown Wars is classic GTA, just upgraded. The top down perspective is nailed pretty well in this. I played it for DS, so I don't know how the touch elements from that translated to the vita release, but I imagine a qte from time to time. Still, the gameplay is fast and fun like how GTA knows how to do.

Also, in GTA news, here's some of the fancy new stuff that is being upgraded from PS3-PS4, purely in game:
