That Blops footage actually looks...decent? I could see it being pretty fun in multi, to be honest. I might even be picking this up.

You'll be shit confused from the story if you havent played the earlier games. Still a great game experience though.

All they need is to make a direct port of zombies, release it on PSN only and then sell news maps every month.

what's "zombies"?

one game with zombies that would be cool to play on a vita is Nation Red (powerup based arena shooter on pc). or maybe the devs who made Dead Nation/Super Stardust could do a new dual stick shooter. between LittleBigPlanet, Rayman, Sound Shapes, Dokuro, Mutant Blobs, Guacamelee etc we've got a pretty good variety of platformers. it would be nice to get some variety in other genres like dual stick shooters

Actually, MGS3 works pretty well on it's own, MGS 2 and 4 require playing the previous games.

You are right. Didnt think of that, yeah. Some revelations definitely have a better impact if you played the previously ones though.

I meant as in call of dutys zombies mode
 
I'm a little disappointed in the Vita games as of lately. It started with Gravity Rush in June, Retro City Rampage wasn't as great I was expecting it to be, Need for Speed MW seems like it's just a decent version of the game, and Assassin's Creed fell short of expectations.

Next Vita game I'm getting is PS All Stars. I hope this one doesn't continue the trend.
 
on the MGS front, I have been playing through Peace Walker today on my 3000. The game is fantastic. Awesome music, great visuals, and the controls don't kill it.
 
I think in the less than a week I've had NFS:MW, I've played it more than any game I've had since the first edition bundle came out. As such a huge fan of Burnout Paradise, it's just so amazing to me to have a game like this on a portable.
 
Interview with the NFS:MW producer with interesting comments on making the Vita version:

Q: How does the Vita version differ from its home console counterpart?

In a lot of way, the differences are down to the reduced spec of the Vita compared to the PS3. When we started development, we had one goal and that was to deliver an open-world game that made the player feel as if he was playing the PS3 version in his hand.

Of course, when we started developing the Vita version, we thought the device was going to be pretty close to the PS3 in spec, which we discovered not to be the case. Though aiming high at the start gave us a much better chance of delivering a great game.

In achieving this goal, we've actually delivered the same feature set in the Vita edition as we have in the versions on the other platforms. We have, however, had to make some subtle reductions in the Vita version to make sure we delivered great handling on the system and consistent framerate.

So, you'll notice that the Vita version has fewer cars in some races than in other versions of the game, but to compensate we made sure we balanced the races to keep you challenged.

There have been a lot questions on the net regarding traffic recently and, yes, we made some reductions on that front for framerate reasons. In the Vita version, though, we made the call to reduce traffic for gameplay reasons.

Our cars are fast. I mean, they feel fast, look fast, and on a small screen this can prove a challenge if you have too much traffic on the road. So, we reduced the traffic to make sure the player didn't get frustrated crashing into traffic without having time to react.

It's great to see Criterion putting in a top effort on the Vita version. Haven't played the 360/Ps3 versions for comparison, but so far I'm really surprised and impressed by the sense of speed. Fantastic game, and I'm really enjoying the pitwall/speedwall stuff - it's what I loved about Motorstorm RC and it is more fleshed out here and suits portable gameplay perfectly.

Think I must be more easily impressed than others here; because it still blows my mind that I have such a fluid, full open-world racer on a handheld. Also, Ariel Atom ftw.

Damn vita sales below 6k again :/ is there anything big for Japan out soon?

Nintendo has the exclusives. The only way this trend will change is if Sony announces some big exclusive titles for the Vita.

Look at the week Persona 4 came out. There was a 150% bump in sales. The 3DS still beat it 2 to 1.

I didn't say will it outsell 3ds I said any big Japanese games coming? :p

The psp was slaughtered by the DS but it was still a financial success
 
I noticed there was an AC3L update in which one of the items is "fixed sound issues" - does that fix the compressed sound? Not sure how it could if the sound actually is compressed, but I haven't had chance to play enough of it before the patch to compare the results after.
 
Whatever happened to that google doc? Was going to add a bunch of people for NFS and AC but I can't seem to find it? -Luchashaq on psn

I doubt it. The sound is still pretty bad, and washed out. Probably some audio glitches. I noticed before the patch, there was a really bad delay in audio. When people were talking, it would take several seconds before the audio would kick in when a character responded.
 
There's a topic on Gamefaqs that has people claiming the Vita isn't in the Christmas catalogs of TRU, Walmart and Target. Any truth to this? :/

Only the Wii U Deluxe and P4 Golden for me. Though I got the Premium Edition of Golden, so my wallet is most displeased with me for starving it. Not to mention I JUST bought the Vita and ACIII, so I think my wallet is going to die.

We don't have the HST here, so it's 10% and 5% tax for us. That Wii U will hurt.
 
Thankfully I'm only going to need a couple more hundred bucks for the rest of the Vita games this year...

pfft I say that like it's nothing.

Then again I am buying CoD so I might as well just throw away all that money.
