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

Jesus, I have a gigantic backlog on the Vita now.

FF VII, VIII, IX
Vagrant Story
Wild Arms
RE3
Oddworld: SR
Unit 13
P4G
Motorstorm RC

and on, and on...

AND picking up Soul Sacrifice when I get to Tokyo Thursday...

This will keep me busy for a year. Thankful for my 32GB card...
 
This has gone beyond sad, now it's funny.
I would love to know wtf happened between Capcom and the Vita. And no, poor hardware sales can't be the only thing that happened because projects seemingly were canceled before launch.

This thread has been up for more than a day now. Notice how Sven didn't respond to it.

I wouldn't be surprised if Animu Lost Planet was originally a Vita game.
 
I'm not really digging Megaman/Rockman X: Maverick Hunter.

Then again I've never been a Megaman/Rockman fan outside of the Battle Network series. So I dunno why I grabbed it off the Rental Service outside of it just being there and wanting to see if it'd change my mind.
I'm not the only one who prefers Battle Network to the MM platformers. :o

I really want a sequel to the Battle Network/Star Force series someday. Didn't Capcom mention something about MMBN HD in a survey a few months back?

Edit: $30 for EDF is slightly tempting. I wonder if/when the price will drop even more...
 

YESSS. I normally wouldn't pick it up at the original retail price but oh well! Do you know how long it will last?

I doubt it will any time soon. Has a game ever been further discounted soon after a previous sale?

I'm not exactly in a hurry to buy it. $30 is still a bit steep for me.

EDF needs to drop more.


Life of Pixel 1.99
Super Stardust Delta 4.89
MotorStorm RC Complete Edition 5.87
Sound Shapes 7.34
PS+ 15months 49.99
Sine Mora 4.89 -YAY right?-
Dokuro 6.99 -YAY right?-

total 81.96.. missing 20 :/ for that $20 rebate

should I end up spending $100.. it's not that much actually
$100 - $5 (got a 50PSN card for $45) - $20 (Sony rebate $10 for every $50 spent) - $35 (BestBuy RZ Certs used to buy the PSN cards) = $40

$40 on all those great games.. is a darn good deal

-hugs my vita-
 
Right, picked up the free games and UMvC3. Thanks, Sony. I was drowning in my backlog already, thanks to all the free PS+ games and the various PSP games I bought when I had a PSPGo. I still need to finish P3P and MHFU...

Maybe I'll be able to get around to all of these sometime this year. :/

Anyways, if anyone would like to add me, my PSN is Firehead03. ^^
 
I knew it!



I didn't really enjoy the demo, it was okay I guess. Feels like a 99 cent iOS game.

I did feel like it was iOS-esque. I think $3.99 would have been a better price.

I listen to all opinions. I got Stranger's Wrath Vita when you recommended it even when the dev did their best to show us the worst screenshots ever of the game.

Ah okay. It seems like you usually just point out negative stuff when we get a mix of opinions on something.
 
These four games - Spec Ops for $50 + a $10 rebate seems pretty good.

Edit: nvm.

Germinator is $10,but its screenshots screams 0.99 iOS bubble popping game,studio need to lower their prices for these kind of games in this day and age,$10 is just too much.
 
I did feel like it was iOS-esque. I think $3.99 would have been a better price.

I don't mean iOS as an insult either, I've had a lot of fun experiences with "cheap" iOS games. Just don't think it's worth 10 bucks and I've played similar or better games on iOS for less.

3.99 would have been a good price also, I think I would have bought the game without trying out the demo first at that price.
 
Germinator is $10,but its screenshots screams 0.99 iOS bubble popping game.

I think it's a little better than that (and probably includes more content than the average $.99 bubble shooter game), but I DON'T think it's worth $10. If it ever goes down below $5 I'll get it, though. Had fun with the demo.
 
Lords of Arcana was developed internally, Army Corpse of Hell not. Basically, what it means is that their 3DS/iOS team IS the Vita team too. They're not focusing on Vita for obvious reasons, but the rumor is contradictory with this.
No, Lord of Arcana was made by Access Games (of Deadly Premonition fame). Though I wouldn't treat this post any more than any other rumor... I mean, wasn't there a previous rumor that SE had already started work on FFX-2 HD?
 
hmm thought PS+ would bring more discount :/

Why would you think that?
The developers said, straight up, that they wanted to give a 25% discount period. No bonus for plus, no anything. It's been stated as such for over a month while we've been waiting for it to show up.
 
My god, these sales are going to destroy me.

The banner on Vita says there are going to be sales every week. Does that mean we have two more weeks of sales? Hoping for a Virtual Tennis sale and maybe MGS and Rayman since I passed over those two during The Xmas sale.

Is the DLC for EDF unlockable in-game? If not, is any of it worth it?

It's not, but it's mostly some throwaway weapons you'd only use at an early level. It's not important.

For the $50/$10 PSN deal..can the purchases be spread out over the month or all in one transaction?

As long as you spend $50 in March, you're good. Doesn't have to be one purchase.
 
Switch Galaxy on PSM legit. everyone should go spend $2.49 and buy it. Even toto.

Ok..getting it then (I bought Gun Commando and Still Life last time so why not ) however I'm having a problem with anything Galaxy, the game with Galaxy in it I use as a coaster because it was so overhyped but not good, my Galaxy phone died,Samsung overpriced Galaxy Camera was total crap.

Will the curse strike again?

Try to post impressions of EDF if you can. I'm going to wait and see if there are some more Vita deals next week for now so that I can reach that $50.
 
I really have to wonder what in the world Sony's doing with this platform. Did Nintendo buy a huge chunk of Capcom while we were all sleeping? Why is their support so abysmal? What about Square-Enix? A PS2 port that's shared with PS3? You couldn't even get that to be "exclusive"? Konami? Well, they hardly make games anymore, so I have little to fault except where's PES? KojiPro seems like they don't want to make handheld games anymore, so RIP for original handheld MGS titles. Then there's their first party output. Why did they sacrifice BigBig with Little Deviants? Even if Vita was as successful as the PSP was, that would've still sold like crap. Their two best selling PSP releases were God of War, and Gran Turismo titles and instead of putting those on their near dead handheld in an attempt to resuscitate the platform they put them on the now 6 year old PS3? What in the world is wrong with them? No major third party titles, no major first party titles. Why did they even release this platform?

Don't reply to me and say "Well, it's okay we have Remote Play" because you guys are going to be very disappointed when remote play is implemented. Unless you've got a Google Fibre connection or something, I suspect there's going to be games with significant lag that'll make playing a first person shooter difficult. It's also a pretty terrible scape goat for support. I didn't pay $249 last year with the expectation that to play any software releases post-2013 I'd have to spend an additional $399.
 
Not sure if posted already, but there's a red tag sale on PS3 and Vita games at SonyStyle stores up to 75% off. (In store)

Break Vita trying to penetrate screen with penis.

:(
 
Okay, what the hell?
How is near supposed to work? It states that there are 38 people nearby, within a 2 mile radius that have a Vita. I don't think I believe it... Is it bugged or something?

Does anyone use Internet remote play instead of local anyway?

Thinking about it... though it looks like Audiosurf and Wipeout had a baby I'm not so sure about driving.

I should see if remote play is even better for me now that I've upgraded my home network (entirely overhauled)...

the banner says the sales go until march 12th, which is the next time the store updates, which means that the games on sale now will be taken down and no more will replace them as if there was more it would say until the 19th not 12th.
 
It was said in the anniversary sale thread and I can confirm that you can get the free Vita games through the Media Go Store if you can't get access the Vita store.
