When can we even expect a GT for Vita at this point. GT PSP was shown before PSP's launch at that took years to come out. I'm not even going to think about the awesomeness of Gran Turismo on Vita. I don't want to get my hopes up for something that is four years away.

Maybe if they can use the GT5 engine and make some downgrade, it could be ready a lot quicker than people expect.
 
Has anyone ordered the Nyko Power Grip of their website. It's $25 gives "3 times" the battery life but there's only one picture and I have a feeling it's huge. Would like impressions or pictures from anyone if they have it

I am waiting for it to show up at my local GameStop to get a good look.
 
After seeing these racing games, I want one or the other from EA:

1. Road Rash Revival

2. Another Burnout akin to Burnout 3.
 
The more I see of Uncharted the less I want it regardless of sale prices. Just doesn't look fun. And holy crap at these load times for Wipeout on the Giant Bomb stream. How do you release a game that is this awful? If you can patch it after people complain, then you could have done it right the first time.

I'm with you guys though, this stream is boring as shit. Show us the games we haven't already seen on youtube.
 
Fuuuu I have been SO tempted to switch to the FEB bundle but good thing my 32GB card hasnt arrived from Lockerz yet :)

Now the tough choice: Keep my Amazon WiFi preorder or cancel can get the 3G model off Lockerz for $246. Better choice IS lockerz but I would probably have to wait another week or so. I dont know if I can do that now that I have Uncharted and Wipeout staring at me ._.
 
I can't watch the stream, the chat is pissing me off. "Looks 25fps"... um no. You're only saying that because Jeff said the framerate was shaky, and it's only shaky on the faster speeds.
 
Why is Jeff holding the right side like a pincer? Looks uncomfortable holding it like that.

Because he's avoiding hitting the backtouch screen. Holding the Vita (at least for me and my man-hands) is rather uncomfortable if you're attempting to only use those tiny grips on the back. My fingers naturally want to lay across the entire back of the system.

Apparently not for as well as he held up. I'm sure you will figure it out once it's in your hands.

The loads are bad but I've been through worse. Let's hope it gets sorted out a little with the next patch.
 
I disagree with Jeff in terms of his opinions on modern handheld games.

I've started to not like his negativity.

All his points are valid, though.

I had the same issue. I just can't hold in comfortably without hitting the rear touch

Doesn't explain why he's holding it non-pincerly on the left hand.
 
It really bums me out how much reviews affect gamer's buying decisions.

Maybe it's because I'm old, but I just buy the shit I want to buy, regardless of review scores.

Some of my favorite games have gotten terrible review scores (ie, Second Sight and Shadow of Destiny on the PS2).

While I certainly don't mind reading about what other people think of the games coming out, the best critic of them all is me. If a game is in a genre I like, and it looks promising, I will pick it up. I understand budget reasons, but for me, that's kind of the double edged sword of gaming. I've certainly been burned on games (ie, Blood Omen 2; Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness), but hey, thems the breaks.

I don't need some paid reviewer with different tastes and expectations than me telling me what I should and shouldn't buy. This is horribly hypocritical of me, since I have my own gaming site, and I write reviews myself, but even so, I don't expect people to take my word as gospel. I just put my opinion out there, and don't particularly want to affect anyone's buying decisions.

If a game like Army: Corps of Hell looked interesting to you, I don't see why a review from anyplace should deter you.

But hey, what do I know? I thought Uncharted 3 and Batman: Arkham City were two of the best games I played last year. Bethesda gets no free pass from me, as much as I enjoyed Skyrim when it was working.

It's still one more week before I get my Vita, so the anticipation is building, especially since Amazon has my Uncharted: GA listed as "Shipping Soon," so I should get it on Wednesday, and then have a full week to stare at the box until I can play it...

As a fan of Uncharted, I don't feel particularly burnt out on the series, and am really excited about GA. Different strokes, folks.
 
I wish Logitech would make a Vita case similar to the Playgear Pocket case they made for the original PSP, it was a great case.

I had that case. I hated it. Added way too much bulk to the system to the point where it was no longer possible to pocket. I still liked using my pockets so the case went into storage and I went nude instead. ;)
 
It seems like it's the cool thing to hate on this game even when a lot of people here, that have played it, seem to enjoy it a lot. Some like it more than Uncharted 3.
I think I took the healthy route towards being able to enjoy Golden Abyss more. I've only played Uncharted 1 in its entirety along with like the first chapter of U2. Have only purchased 3 and haven't played an Uncharted game in over two years or so which makes Golden Abyss seem largely fresh.

Throw in gyro aiming and... what I would assume to be a lack of freakish aliens in the end game... and I'll be having my best Uncharted experience to date. If I'd already played U2 or played through U3 not three months ago, I'd probably be more down on it.

Graphic/framerate complaints are purely people being anal. Game looks absolutely gorgeous for something I'm holding in the palm of my hands.
