I don't really know what that means. "in the future" ... In the future with a patch to FIFA or in the future with some other title?

Probably for Fifa 13.

 

[The Elite]

oh so MLB 12 has that awesome feature too?, just like Ruin etc..

The press release a couple of weeks ago said you can transfer your franchise from PS3 to PSV and vice versa. However, you can't transfer a franchise if you're mid game.

New FIFA footage

The guy doing the presentation was able to take 2 goals from Atletico de Bilbao even playing with Barça! hehehehe He was trying to show the touch controls and speaking at the same time of the features of the game so that excuses him a bit. The Online League mode will be great. We should set a GAF league as soon as possible.

 

[spwolf]

It appears you were correct about FIFA. Saw this on the US Playstation blog...

it is not the same game, so you certainly wont get it unless they actually do simple port from consoles to vita.

What megapixel is the camera?

 

[mrklaw]

Picked up a case yesterday. Went for the ¥1800 case that clips to the bottom of the vita. Has padding to protect the analogue sticks, which is one reason I didn't go for the basic pouch. Quite bulky in that config though.

Was tempted with the ¥4000 leather case but will wait and see what third party options come out later

Is the leather case the only one that includes a wrist strap?

 

[mrklaw]

Looking forward to wipeout at UK launch (will download to have it always available), and motorstorm RC. Will probably double dip on hotshots golf to have an English language version downloaded.

Swaying towards sticking with my US psn account and using psn cards for purchases. Not ideal but I don't think I'll download that much, and I'll buy retail in the UK for easy trading in.

Just wish Sony would let me change my us psn account to a UK one.

 

[mrklaw]

Is the leather case the only one that includes a wrist strap?

No. Of the official ones, there is also a big fat zip-up case that had a wrist strap. Can carry the vita, memory cards (2 I think) and the ac adapter. Also comes with a cloth for wiping the screen

And of course you then have third party ones.

 

[CLEEK]

Is there a list anywhere of the install sizes for the various launch games when downloaded from the store?

 

[03sho]

PSVita.wmv - YouTube

In the vita video about at around 5:30 the guy talks about trophies. He earned some whilst on the vita and made sure he synced them. When he goes to see his gamer card and trophy list on the PS3 it is not visible.

WTF Sony?

[x3sphere]

I wonder if Vita is intentionally being held back by Sony like the PSP was, possibly to conserve battery or to encourage optimization. Games were locked to 222MHz on PSP for a very long time, the ability to up the clockspeed wasn't added until around the time God of War came out.

Looks like the first edition bundle is sold out on amazon.com

You're right. It's no longer listed on Amazon US. Interesting. I hope they're just being overly cautious. I just put in my order a few days ago.

missing some games and there's NO WAY that Dark Quest should be troubling a number higher than 6.

Outside of the load times, it's really fun with friends. I don't think it's groundbreaking but fun.

 

[DangerousDave]

Wow... lots of 9 and 8. Yes, is Famitsu, but still...

Much better score for Shinobido 2 than the fake of a few days ago.

 

[gkryhewy]

Famitsu withholding Ridge score until the game is finished in February?

 

[Medalion]

What megapixel is the camera?

The max resolution for both front and back camera from wikipedia says 640x480 max resolution at 60fps.

 

[Hasemo]

Well, we'll probably have to wait until tomorrow to check if they're legit.

 

[twentytwo22]

I got the black leather case too (didn't notice how much the blue thread stands out before I saw the case in person, it's really purdy) and it is quite sturdy. Good stuff. Appreciate the wrist strap too, lots of playing on trains etc.

Those scores look par-for-the-course for Famitsu. So many 8s in the magazine.

Also, these looks more legit than the last fake ones, if not simply because the score for LoA is the same as the PSP score.

Adding in missing :
Dream Club 0 - 7/7/7/8

Fish on - 6/5/5/5
Ridge Racer - 7/6/6/6
Disgaea 3 - 7/7/7/5
TExtygamewhosenameifortget - 9/9/8/7

 

[DangerousDave]

Here's what i expect :

Disgaea 3 PS3 version got 8/8/8/8 in Famitsu, so I don't think it will score less. The game has even DLC included and more features.

 

[DCharlie]

different reviewers , passage of time, etc.

Lord of A is a little less likely as it's only a week after the PSP but .... i suspect even that may dock a point or so.

Famitsu - law until themselves.

Anybody try out Minna to Issho yet?

Maybe I missed it but first English Shinobido 2 trailer.

How does it attach to the inside? The one I boought lets you dangle the case below the vita with it still attached, so you can access the rear panel. Is that the same? And indents for the sticks?

 

[Bomber Bob]

there's NO WAY that Dark Quest should be troubling a number higher than 6.

Why? From the demo seems like a decent hack&slash

Indents for the sticks -- yes.

You have to take the Vita all the way out to use it though, no attachments or anything like that -- strictly a carrying case.

 

[DCharlie]

i've not put too much time into it yet but it seems incredibly bog standard and i couldn't imagine the reviewers treating it kindly

 

[MrPliskin]

Are vita trophies only for the vita platform, or are trophies tied to a global PSN acct? (ie can I see vita trophies on Sony's site / gamer card?)

 

[Dragon]

Are vita trophies only for the vita platform, or are trophies tied to a global PSN acct? (ie can I see vita trophies on Sony's site / gamer card?)

The reverse is confirmed, you can see PS3 trophies through the Trophy App on Vita. Someone was saying you can't see Vita trophies on the PS3 (I don't remember who). No idea about the web site, but Sony doesn't try very hard on there so I would doubt it.

Edit: to answer your first question, they are tied to whatever PSN account you register when you load up the Vita the first time.

Do you have a link to see what it looks like, official ones?

 

[lupin23rd]

Don't know if anyone's looking for one in Tokyo but while several shops have the 3G model I've only seen the wifi one @ sofmap main shop in akihabara. So tempting....

Questions:

We can't currently get to the US store obviously, but can we hook up a US PSN account and play the games and earn trophies as normal?

Are saves/trophies tied to saves or downloads? So if I hooked up my JP PSN account, downloaded a game, reformatted and then tried to play said game on my US account would I be able to earn trophies?

 

[RyougaSaotome]

For those of you in Kyushu, I've seen some 3G models here and there in Nagasaki. Worth keeping in mind.

 

[mrklaw]

I read that docomo will unlock any of their handsets for a small (3150) fee. Anyone know if that's the case also with vita?

 

[Hyuga]

Are these legit, legit? Like should I make a thread for this week's Famitsu legit.

Yep, do it

 

[mrklaw]

I just factory reset and out my usual (US) psn details in. Now uncharted and mingol are saying i can't earn trophies. What do i need to do to fix this? I thought the reset thing was only on different hardware, but its different psn accounts too?

 

[bigswords]

Anyone received their Vita from Play-Asia yet? Mine got sent yesterday, but hasn't left HK according to the tracking number from FedEx. However it's supposed to be delivered by December 23 so I guess I just have to be patient. I'm not a jedi unfortunately. It's my own fault for not ordering before last Friday, I was tempted in the last minute :-D

And now I regret not ordering some kind of pouch, any of these any good?

Jeeze that is fast which country are you in? According to Sony HK the PSP vita is released on the 23rd Dec.

 

[mrklaw]

Bah. Looked in settings/save data but it said I didn't have any? So formatted the memory card and lost my mingol update :/

You'll have to reset the cartridges as well, no? Or at least create new save files?

 

[Bomber Bob]

Just got a trophy for cleaning poop

 

[HoTHiTTeR]

Has anyone heard if they're gonna cripple the online like they did the console version(s) of mingol? The US/EU versions share servers, which are almost completely dead; meanwhile the Japanese servers thrive. They made the PSP versions capable of choosing regional or "world" rooms... here's to hoping!

 

[I'm an expert]

You should fix your Vita's clock then since it's 5:30 here now =O

 

[dark10x]

It's definitely ugly, but at the same time, the actual game is quite a appealing. The original Shinobido on PSP was infinitely worse looking yet still a very solid stealth action game. Now that you can see more than 2 meters in front of your character it should be more enjoyable.

Aquire typically fails to deliver on the visuals front, unfortunately, and this is no exception.
