Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | March 2013 | Carving an Independent niche

A port of a port? Seems unlikely, and even more unlikely to come to less powerful hardware, as the whole reason for choosing the Vita for the handheld version was to avoid having to make compromiser with the experience like they did for Persona 3 Portable.

Yeah, but don't forget that it was originally a PS2 game. And I did mention HD consoles in my post. :)
 
P4G won't ever come to 3DS.

I also doubt there would be a HD remake on a home console. Best you can hope for is the original PS2 P4 coming to US PSN (like P3 FES eventually did), or you could just buy a Vita. ;)
 
I feel like I'm the only Vita owner utterly uninterested in P4G or Soul Sacrifice. You couldn't pay me to play either.

Mind you, I'm playing MUD, so perhaps I'm not of sound mind.

I keep being tempted for P4G, but I can't help but think I won't like it. SS however is probably my most anticipated Vita game of the year.

To be honest, I'm more a MUD gamer myself. I'm sure the other 2 would be a lot of fun if you get into it. Probably just a big racing fan though.

MGS1 doesn't come with any of the HD collections on any platforms.

It's just MGS 2 + 3 on Vita.

EDIT: Wait, sorry. Metal Gear, not Metal Gear Solid. Should'e read properly. Yeah, I think they're in there.


Also, that 'tilt the ball through this maze' minigame on AC Liberation can just fuck off. It doesn't react properly at all.

Yup, they're in the extra contents of MGS3.

Alright, thanks!
 
I'm so tempted to jump on the 32gb bandwagon, but I'm having a hard time justifying the price even though my 4gb and 16gb cards are both filled to the max right now...

Also Hustle Kings is pretty addicting and I've def gotten my $5 worth out of the game since I bought it 2 days ago

Its painful but if memory card swapping and storage restrictions on 16gb annoy you... its worth it. Once the pain of paying $90 wears off, its definitely a nice thing to have.

I find myself in the same position. I loved Unit 13, NFS: MW and Uncharted. I think I''m shallow :-( cos I like video games with guns and cars. Thats why i'm anticipating a vita syphon filter game and GT but I'd jiz in my pants if a GTA for vita gets announced.

I also get the feeling that Atlus likes the idea of having the mainline SMT Games on the 3DS and having the Persona games on the Playstation Brand. I'm still wondering if Atlus will even opt to make a console P5 and instead make it a Vita game.
 
my 16GB card is filling up fast, down to 4GB free space, but i have 3 PSN Plus games on it right now and i don't expect to keep those games all the time since i don't really own them anyways, Uncharted's 3+ GB being one of them.

Best Vita game so far goes to Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs, i heard good things but I'm still pleasantly surprised by how much fun it is.

I wonder which will make them more money. Release Persona 5 on both vita and ps3. Or release the ps3 version and sell a vita port later (or vice-versa).

Yeah, this too.

I'm really hoping Persona 5 is a Vita only release, even though it'd really piss a lot of people off who want it on PS3/4. SMT4 is a 3DS only release and you don't see people complaining!

Oh, I saw people complaining. But P5 being Vita exclusive is basically 0,00001% chance.

Only 3 days until it comes out. We need one ASAP. Going to pick up a copy on Thursday when I get to Japan. Will contribute as much as I can.
Click to expand...

I'm not sure anyone is doing one for the Japanese release, but if they do they need to mark it as the Japan release OT.

Also 2 more weeks of sales? So you're saying there's a chance of lumines going on sale/free?

Shame that the touchpad doesn't have that sort of depth detection that senses your finger when it's close to it. My monitor has capacitive buttons that reacts to my finger around a half inch away. If that were at all possible..
And of course, that they couldn't match the screen size 1:1. Could have been so much more!
Click to expand...

Weird because I feel my Vita's super sensitive. Maybe it's the Hori screen protector, but I don't have to touch the screen to register a touch. Half an inch types the same as litterally touching on my unit.

Playing PSO2 though has made me realize that, it registered touches, even when I'm not touching the screen at all. Doesnt help that the game has a visual aid to let you know where your touching. Thankfully it doesnt get in the way of game play. But it's a pain to actually use the keyboard most times. Anyone else experience this. My iPhone 3GS is VERY precise in comparison. My Android is sensitive too, but not like the Vita.

And one more tech support question. When waking the Vita from sleep, does anyone else randomly encounter the "swipe to wake" not working sometimes? The only way I can fix it is to let the screen go off and wake it up again 1 or 2 times before it actually works. Heaven help me if a non-Vita owner was watching that and writes it off due to that alone!
 
Right so I may be buying Smart as by tomorrow at the latest, but my main worry right now is when there are puzzles/brain teasers that require me to 'write' a number or letter and the game not recognizing the right letter I'm wanting, like what a a GAFfer had recently posted. Have any of you found a workaround for this? Cuz if so that'd put my worries at rest and I can enjoy the game with little hassle~

Oh and is it possible to delete the save data for Smart as?

Japan got a demo for Soul Sacrifice over 2 months before release. The English demo needs to be released soon. :/

I guess it would make sense for it to come this Tuesday, the same time the full game comes out in Japan? The game has to be gold at this point unless the translation was proving too difficult. Didn't they already push the game back by a month?

Ive had that a couple times but realized it was because i had a finger on the back touchpad.

Yeah, they pushed the release back in Japan. If the English demo were to release soon, wouldn't there be at least a mention on the blog? There's been no word about it at all.

My Vita screen is the same don't even need to completely touch the device. Would not surprise me if screen quality is not uniform though.
 
how do people use multiple memory cards when it rearranges all your bubbles anytime you switch? that's a big deal breaker for me so I only use one card currently (32gb)

I havent had any issues with the number/letter recognition of Smart As yet, but it of course depends on your writing style.

In the past few days, got :
- P4G for 30€ new in EU.
- VLR for 11€
- Virtua Tennis for 5€
- Little Deviants for 3,50€.

My oh my, my backlog will never end.
 
Here's some screenshots from Mystic Chronicles, another PSP game Natsume is releasing on PSN. It was originally released on iOS, and developed by Kemco, but Natsume's giving it a whole new translation. No release date(s), price or Vita compatibility confirmed yet though:

I've been playing the writing sections of the game and I've only encountered one mistake where I wrote H and it saw it as an M. I was actually surprised at the games ability to interpret the writing, it seems to be fairly accurate (but I guess that's dependent on your writing style).

That is exactly why I sold my second card. I'm far too anal for that stuff.
Click to expand...

honestly how has this not been addressed? my 32gb is full and I would prefer to buy another vs. moving things on and off it....yet this totally discourages it

realistically, how hard would it be to put a small save file on the card that remembers the order of bubbles, as long as its the same vita/psn account? this is one of my biggest requests, along with folders of some sort on the main screen
