Vita PSN Game & Service Thread 2

I'm not sure that the level kit adds some tools for cross controller to be added in user levels... this is my biggest concern... User created levels with cross controller would be a great thing for this feature
They have confirmed the new cross-controller tools
 
Feel like taking one for the team and finding out? :P

I don't know. :P
In Germany we can't use PayPal in the PSN store and currently I would pay exactly 30€ for VC2 and Agarest 2, so without the DLC I had 10€ left for e.g. Castlevania or God Eater Burst.

Also I bet the US store will have the VC2 bundle on sale the minute after I buy VC2 on the EU store. >:(
 
Got a preowned vita for my bf, arrived today. It's not turning on. Plugged it in but no lights are on and it won't turn on...

Should I be worried?
 
When the battery is dead, the system doesn't respond at all. It can be a little scary the first time it happens. Put some juice in it and see what happens before getting worried.
 
Yeah I figured I'm just paranoid xD

give it up to 30 mins (shouldnt take this long but still) and hopefully it will just come on. When mine died on me I plugged it in and took 5-10 mins I think to come back on. I think its because it goes into some deep sleep mode or something because even though it died when it came back it was in the exact state it was when it died (game state still preserved and stuff like that)

Buy Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed!
.

My copy should arrive this week. Looking forward to it.

That IGN review is just so typical of them. There points against it dont even make sense either.

"It sacrifices graphics"..... no shit its a weaker system
Those sacrifices dont even help as it still has a worse frame rate" - this is one of the most nonsensical things I have seen them say (and they have said a lot). How does it not help the game? do they fail to understand that if they left the graphics the same then the game would be probably unplayable????

Clearly they picked a balance of graphics and frame rate where the game runs and looks decent enough and could leave the rest of the game intact...... for that they docked them 1.6 points lol. I really hate that website.

I mean they gave it the same score as mod nation racers.... that game had a horrific frame rate and no online and is clearly a much worse game.

That is all.

Dunno...according to IGN

http://uk.ign.com/articles/2012/12/17/sonic-all-stars-racing-transformed-vita-review
but otherwise Sumo’s racer has had quite the visual downgrade. Put it this way: we’d be surprised if the 3DS version looks much worse when that finally arrives, and running next to Mario Kart 7, it’s clearly the uglier game of the two.

It’s not as if this visual downgrading has any noticeable improvement on performance, either. Quite the contrary, in fact: we noticed more frame-rate hits on the Vita version of Transformed than any of the console versions

it's even worse looking than MK7 and the worst version performance-wise.

I really wanted to get it. but this is terrible news

Let hope the Vita version is actually good and IGN just went on their "let trash vita ports" like always.

for now I'm waiting for superior GAF hand-on impressions.
 
just from the videos on youtube you can tell it runs and looks fine.

I dont know why you would value IGN as a reviewer of Vita games. They have proved them selves time and time again to trash the system for the most dumb things and yet didnt totally trash games like modnation racers that had some serious issues.

in there assassins creed review I remember them saying mini games like ball rolling ruin the experience. This is a huge over exaggeration because that happens once. The only other puzzle was a sliding one. Then they complained about the letter opening saying it took you out of the gaming experience, which is total hyperbole.

Its not like that game didn't deserve the score they gave it its just they things they complained about were dumb. It was other issues they don't bother touching on that are the issue.

Then there was street fighter x tekken where they not only got someone else to review the game than the person who did the ps3 version but they got someone who hates the game to review it. This resulted in the vita version getting a terrible score and the PS3 version getting a great score when the games are nigh on identical.

Oh and my fav one was Greg complaining that gravity rushes combat was to hard to he would hide, recharge and then go use his super weapon again..... that games combat may be limited and over use of gravity kick, but hard it most certainly aint.

I basically just read there site to laugh at them these days.

I'm sorry, but I have MK7 and that's simply just not true at all (about the ugliness).
Some of the tracks do look more bland than its console counterparts because there are less shadders. But it's still a very colourful and beautiful game. Some of the tracks have so much animated stuff going on and the the music is superb!

Unfortunately there are some places where the framerate does take a hit.
 
You know what?
If you really wanted to get it, and you like kart racers.
Just buy it. I'm playing it every day for a week now and its really great. The frame rate is not even comparable to modnation racers (which i have, too).
There is a vast difference between dips sometimes into lower fps (sonic) and dips sometimes into single number fps (modnation racers).
It runs even better then NFS MW...

Like I said, if you like kart racing games. Get it and laugh about those idiotic IGN comments about a visual downgrade.

How bad is the hit tho. Is it like need for speed where it dips into the low 20's now and then or is it like mod nation where its a slide show and you appear off cliff. The first I can deal with, the second is game breaking for me.

Thanks. That answers that for me. And I love NFS:MW
 
I've been wanting the Vita WRC game for ages but just can't pull the trigger due to the high price and seeming lack of content. I NEED a good non-kart racing game for my Vita.

Too bad I played the living shit out of NFS: Most Wanted on the PS3 already. :(

It's just sad that there is no GT or real Motorstorm on Vita.
 
Fucking blockbuster.

4gb card is 14 on the site but whet in store and it was £21

Fuck that shit I can order a 8gb for that much from amazon
 
I have a general question about PS1 games on Vita. Apologies if it has been asked and answered many times.

I have an Aus PS3 and Aus PSV with an Aus PSN account.

Some PS1 games can be bought on Vita's store. Some can only be bought via the PS3 store.

Can these ones bought on and only available on PS3 store be transferred successfully to Vita even if they aren't listed as Vita compatible?

Par for the course at IGN. I only read their reviews to pick it apart and shit on them via twitter.
 
Yeah thanks.

I'm so fucking fed up though

Left it on charge for an hour and nothing

It's just like it's not even noticing its plugged in

All I want is a fucking Xmas present and now I'm here crying cos it can't just fucking work
It may sound stupid, but are you sure the cable going from the vita to the psu is fully pushed in? I know mine looked like it was fully inserted but had to be pushed in even further before it connected.

Ill check but I'm pretty sure

It takes between 4-14 days for a refund too and that's too long

I presume you'd tried to reset the device to factory? If it is pre-owned I guess it could be faulty, not what you want to hear with Xmas so close.

If it's charging, the PS logo button on the bottom left corner will be red. When its charged the light will be off.

Silly question, but when you turn it on you are holding the power button down for ~5 seconds, aren't you?

Can't reset it it won't turn on full stop.

And yeah it was plugged in properly.

Thanks for trying to help guys
 
OMGZOMGOMGZOMGOMZGOMOMGOZOZOMGOMZOMGOMZGOMZOMG

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is downloadable for Vita. :O Probably old news for everyone, but not to me. Now, if only I had enough free space. 8GB memory card is sad.
 
You guys should just get Sonic & all-stars Racing Transformed, it's $30 retail and may go for the same price for it's online ver. It's a fun racing game and has a kickass soundtrack.

I notice Escape Plan has DLC, are they worth getting?

Totally missed that one! So it is a good choice for a Diddy Kong Racing fan and not a frame rate whore ?!?

Oh, and just trying to decide between God of War collection through remote play vs. the two PSP GOWs...have only played GOW 3.
