From the hardware thread:


Oh boy,i hope it's a slider design and comes with sufficient internal memory @$ 199 alongside a game.

I wouldn't be surprised if a new model with on board memory came fall 2013, but I doubt sony will wait that long to drop the price. March 2013 seems like a wonderful time for them to drop the price with SS coming and the fact the system will have been out for a year then.

Prinny Can I really be the hero

a nice little hack and slash platformer for the vita. the only main issue people have with it is it's semi realistic jumping mechanics meaning that you can't change your direction in mid air, which drives some people crazy lol.

 

[Derrick01]

I downloaded the patch but I think that when the savefile is corrupted you have to restart everything from the beginning... I have no intention to redo everything... any suggestion gaf?

You do have to start over as far as I'm aware. My game is still caught in a loop even after downloading the patch and unfortunately it's not an interesting enough game to start almost completely over. I was almost at the very end.

 

[OmegaTreeFish]

Why does everyone want a slider design?

I wouldn't be so fast with the term "everyone".

I sure don't. Im sure many others don't either.

Anyway It wont happen, if anything because of the back touch pad.

 

[Toma]

Surge releases today too!

Yep. Can't wait

 

[corrosivefrost]

I've only had my Vita for just over a week but my 16GB card only has 2GB left free. I honestly thought I'd be safe mainly going with carts but then GAF came along and sold me on PS+ and PSP downloads.

Those 32GB cards are just so damn expensive.

Current Amazon price on a 16gb card: $58.
Current Amazon price on a 32gb card: $81
Cost for 2nd 16gb of space beyond the original 16gb: $23

Seriously. If the price per gb on these cards was constant, a 32 would cost at least $116.

Paying $23 more to have double the space -- doesn't seem so bad now, does it?

 

[Toma]

Yep. Can't wait

Almost forgot about it tbh. Guess I'll snag up Big Sky and Surge today.

Current German Amazon price:

16GB -> 42,99 €
32GB -> 86,57 €

Here, there's almost no difference in terms of price/GB.

Eh, if you don't care about the 100% achievement, just blow through the main story. It shouldn't take more than 2-4 hours. Then mop up the side quests.

Were cheaper here in the UK with a better price/GB on the 32GB card.

16GB - £33.19
32GB - £58.49

Going to have to find a way to upgrade at some point.

 

[Ran rp]

So we're seriously getting nothing for Plus again this week? I hope they're saving games for a big holiday drop or something.

I'll go back to it someday when I'm bored. I'm trying to mop up any trophies I can.

So we're seriously getting nothing for Plus again this week? I hope they're saving games for a big holiday drop or something.

Probably next Monday we'll get the announcement. It seems like they're doing the Vita stuff at the middle part of the month.

That's roughly 72€, good price indeed.
Will probably go with another 16GB card for a second account though if I can spare some money. Soul Sacrifice Demo is almost upon us

If you go in expecting a steady stream of content for the Vita, you're just setting yourself up for disappointment

 

[bradigor]

Oh well, the promise to myself not to over do it on the Vita has failed a month into ownership.

I'll just add Need For Speed, but that's it

Oh Rayman, I'll just add that, but that is it,

Virtua Tennis for £7? I can't really say no can I? But that is really it!

Playstation AllStars Battle Royale... Well it is Cross-Buy and Cross Play, my son will like that Christmas Day, but I am done now.

Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed, I really want that... I have a slight budget left over after Christmas shopping. Ok last one I am done.

Uncharted FFF is just over £3, oh go on then.

Sounds familiar, hope my P4G copy gets here fast or else I'll spend even more money than I intended to.

 

[Toma]

Oh yeah ZHP sale as well.

Guess its another 30$ spent for me today. (ZHP, Big Sky, Surge)

 

[falconzss]

Wish ZHP was on sale here but I don't want to complain. Big Sky for free tomorrow

 

[tamaster92]

Hey bros!!! Can't believe we are on 27 pages already lol.

So any ideas what we will get on plus this month?

I think for EU we will get wipeout and That's all

 

[Toma]

Well ZHP is 30$ standard in the US, its only 15€ in the EU right? Sounds like a sweet deal to me.

Big Sky and Knytt.

ZHP is only £12 in the UK, not exactly terrible.

Haha, yup. I bought so many PSP and PSX games that I have no idea when I'll ever play them. And then a few Vita games on top of that. :/

I've had to stop myself from succumbing to D3, ASBR, AC:L, Lumines.. and that's not even mentioning my lingering desire for DJ MAX. ;_;

Yeah in and of itself it is a good deal but I'm still a bit reluctant.

Also don't forget Mortal Kombat even though Germany will miss out on it *sigh*
I'm curious about the replacement for MK.

 

[Ran rp]

I'm expecting more than a single sale on a "meh" game one week and nothing the next, yes.

 

[bradigor]

Sounds familiar, hope my P4G copy gets here fast or else I'll spend even more money than I intended to.

The only reason I don't have P4G yet, is that I need to import it. There are plenty of games I have already (even not on that recent list) that will keep me busy until February, however if it isn't out here by then, I will likely import.

I also want VLR but luckily for my wallet, that hasn't been on shelves when I have looked. PS+ has saved me a fortune too.

 

[corrosivefrost]

We got more than a full month's worth of content in a day at nearly the end of November.

Patience, grasshopper.

Can you purchase from Amazon.com instead of wherever? The exchange rate has 32gb card costing 62.34 euro.

I've thought about waiting for P4G's EU release but I just couldn't resist in the end. Love Persona and SMT in general to death. VLR is another game on my Vita priority list. I was pleased to hear that the EU version has JP audio. I honestly thought I wouldn't buy anything in the first month due to PS+ but we see how that went...

Why can't the back touch be on the bottom?

 

[Toma]

Because it needs to be behind the screen to make sense in some games, see Little Deviants.

 

[Bittercup]

Yeah those prices are expensive
I really wish I'd had a 32GB card or even more. My 8GB card is too small and I bought a 16GB card now. Still feels somewhat "wasted", a lot of money for a card that will sooner or later be too small again.
Hopefully there will be a price drop together with bigger cards. Maybe next year or the following year. Until then I'll stick with my 8+16GB :s

 

[Dantis]

What the heck is ZHP?

 

[kiyomi]

dammit Toma.

 

[dallow_bg]

So cruel.

 

[Sid]

I know but early VITA dev kits had the slider form factor i doubt it's a major factor,the reason for change was the heat output and by fall 2013 the tech would have matured for that to be less of a factor.

 

[marrec]

What the heck is ZHP?

Only the best turn based isometric rougelike strategy game from NIS featuring characters from the popular Disgaea series!

 

[SmokyDave]

Because it needs to be behind the screen to make sense in some games, see Little Deviants.

Huh, that's a really good point.

Yet another reason they should've ditched the pointless back touch and spent the money on analogue triggers instead. That would've been perfect.

 

[kiyomi]

The best PSP game ever.

Might not be your kinda thing, I dunno.

If someone needs another example, double pinching in other games that require the player to touch the front and backtouch at the same time in the same spot, see Hot Shots (changing position) or AC:L (opening letter).

So what would they even do with a revision with regards to the form factor?

Looks okay.

Man, I really don't like the Disgaea art though.

I want Disgaea 3 for my Vita, but the character designs really put me off.

 

[Toma]

So what would they even do with a revision with regards to the form factor?

Thinner, smaller, ergonomically better formed to be "gripped", lighter materials, change nubs to slide pads.

I think thats all not too likely, a similar design with improved battery and an LED screen somewhat makes sense though.

 

[2+2=5]

Zhp is original, beautiful, full of humor etc, but it's not for everyone.

That would be a visual downgrade,OLED provides a very good first impression,i don't think sony did that with the PSP in fact they improved the screen with each iteration.

First consideration for the Vita revision seems to be the costs (Sony mentioning on working on a Vita to be sold for cheaper) and the OLED screen is by far the most expensive and expendable addition.

I love it. I wouldnt like them omitting it, but it would make sense.

How much more expensive is it than a 5 inch 540p LED screen?

Good question, unfortunately I have no exact answer to that. I'd love to know though, if anyone has a more profound knowledge on that issue.
