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

^^ have you tried disabling near?

EDIT: By ^^ I mean the last post of the previous page obviously :p

Top of the page: Buy Everybody's Golf, moan on the EU blog for us not having the DLC bundle then join the async tournaments in the OT.
 
I'm workin on the All Stars Platinum today. Afterwards I'll probably start P4G. The win without getting killed online is frustrating. :p

I got that by accident in a 2v2 where the other team disconnected before the match finished loading. Bam, instant silver trophy.
 
I've asked this before, but I'll try again.

Does anyone know what happened to the PSP / PS Vita copy of KOF '95 on the PSN in the UK?

They have '94, and '96 available, but '95 is only available for the PS3. I can't find any trace of it, or any indications as to why it's missing in the UK.
 
Thinking of picking up Valkyria Chronicles II. How does it look and run on the Vita?

Dunno..but I think it will still look and run like a pure betrayal.

other here will help you for sure,now excuse me I will hug my VC1 copy and will cry near my PS3 right now remembering what SEGA have done with us the original supporters of the series.
 
Persona 3 Portable doesn't have the 3D running around town like P4 does, it's all on a 2D picture where you just move a cursor around. I think it's still a great version of Persona 3, especially with the choice of playing as a female main character. Persona and Persona 2 aren't really similar at all to P3/P4, they don't have the social aspects and are strategy RPGs. If you like Persona 4 then playing Persona 3 is almost required as it's also great, but keep in mind that as it's the previous game in the series there are some elements missing.

Thanks, just picked it up.

Now to spend 40 more dollars to get 10$ free..
not worth it unless there is a good sale next week
.

Haha. Betrayal or not a portable VC for £9.99 sounds too tempting.
 
just discovered the PSX enhance menu on Vita today by accident. FFT looks good with the filtering ^_^

Sony is handling this very poorly tho,there should be an OS bubble that save all of my settings for each PSP and PSone game I have so I don't have to redo anything, also put a reminder for it when someone click on the games(or the menu when you about to start the game).

It runs good and looks good, about the same average compared to other psp games on vita. The only disappointing thing is you can't map camera to 2nd stick. Other than that I assume you know what you are getting into with valkyria 2 already.
 
damn...that break/downtime where I need to charge my battery in between my P4G session...I have to go back...

I just passed 40+ hrs and the game is just absolutely fantastic so far. Everything about the game feels overwhelming, yet well-crafted and intricately done.

I know that feel, just passed the 30 hour mark myself. Lucky I have the Nyko power grip so when my Vita battery gets low I put it in the power grip and let it recharge while I keep playing.
 
Just got around to finally playing DJMAX after just sitting dormant for 3 months.

I regret not playing this earlier. This is a pretty awesome game.

Excellent. Think i will drop 9.99 on this then. Loved the original, stunning game.
 
I bought Gravity Rush on day one and have only got like two hours into it. I really enjoyed it though so I don't know why I stopped. I probably should get back into it. I'm also only an hour into P4G and haven't really got into any gameplay yet but it's really cool storywise.
 
Gravity Rush is legitimately the best handheld game I've ever played - a stone-cold masterpiece. There have been murmurings of a sequel being in the works lately, but nothing official has been announced yet. Fingers crossed for a reveal at E3 or TGS this year.

Couldn't agree more. I picked it up and couldn't put it down until I beat it. I still plan on going back and finishing all the races.

Thank god I am not the only one who gets annoyed by this. It can't be difficult to implement, like the settings are there all they have to do is have them saved. For god sakes have them in the settings bubble so it's universal!

I was just thinking about this early when switching between Monster Hunter (sorry Toto) and Star Wars Battlefront. I kept forgetting to remap so my camera controls would keep doing using items in MH or throwing grenades in Battlefront until I realised. D:

I would have assumed saving different settings for different PSP/PS1 games would have made sense to include from the start. :/
 
finally got the cash set aside for a Vita, but I'm wondering if I should wait on a deal and/or bundle.

right now all I'm seeing is full price stuff, and I've waited this long, a bit longer won't kill me

I'd recommend finding one on Cowboom - it's a Best Buy site that sells used systems. Anything with a rating 5 or higher is usually pretty flawless and you can always return it. They usually go for around ~140 with tax. Best Buy had 16GB cards for $30 but not sure if the sale is still going on

Buy the red vita from japan. Ill pay you for shipping to send it to me. Then ill send you my current vita plus a 16gb card. =p
 
If I'm gonna buy used, I'd probably go through japanese auction proxy like Rinkya. If there is one thing I've learned importing used stuff from japan, is that it's usually immaculate
 
I know you've indicated reluctance to purchase a used Vita, but I'd have to second this recommendation:

The quality of goods sold on Cowboom by Best Buy is usually significantly better than described. I've purchased two Vitas there (a 5 and a 6) and both have come with exactly one scratch of <.5cm on the back touchpad. Anecdotal evidence in the Cowboom threads on CAG/SD indicates that a lot of Vitas rated 5+ show up with no scratches at all.

I took a look at that site, but apparently only the system is included. How is it even possible that the Vitas don't come with batteries? O.o

Here's a link, if anyone wants to check it out: http://www.cowboom.com/product/1150385?

There are some units that come with everything and others that don't come with it. I would just wait for ones that come with everything to show up - it happens often. It really just varies on a unit by unit basis.
 
sorry Toto.. I went to get P3P :X
(someone gave it to me :D:D)

uWGlP54.png
shall play this till P4G.. comes down in price
 
Wow, how come you guys get P3P for only $9.99? I really want to get it after enjoying P4G so much, but it's $43.95 on the Aussie store. What a load.
 
P3P for manual party control and FeMC.
There is no right answer.

I know they're both awesome, it's just I can barely justify buying P3 after buying P4, let alone TWO versions of it. Leaning more towards P3P for portability and party control but cutscenes and overworld in FES, ahhhh

I don't get the running around thing. It's just adding crude 3D models and taking up a bit more time. And the cutscenes are okay. Animation quality is so-so.
