Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | April 2013 | Sacrifice your Independent Soul

But from my playthrough of the demo, the graphics is all this game has going for it. Gameplay is dull and slow. Hope your impressions highlight something that I may be missing, cos I found this demo rather boring.

Sounds like they copied MH a bit too accurately ;)
 
Soul Sacrifice is being sent to die, just like Gravity Rush before it, and people wonder why SCE Japan Studio doesn't make big games ...

I can tell you all about it Tuesday at midnight (late monday)

I will have a video of the PS3 version going up at the same time.
 
Everything about Guacamelee looks pitch-perfect except for the main character. His animation just looks off to me.

I just like my Metroidvania protagonists to have slender silhouettes :-p

yeah, he is not that good design-wise.

But he's a brawler, he has to smash things and he can't be dainty like Samus or Alucard, he has to lift.

my problem with him is that he is way too generic, Lucha libre guys are usually more colorful and interesting and also not that chubby.

they got it right with Tostadabut Juan is just "meh".

It's probably too late to petition Drinkbox now, but I wonder if they could/'ve added costume dlc. I imagine that it is not likely for a $14.99 game. Could always tweet them. They responded to one of my tweets a while back.

I'll pay 0.99 to have a decent looking outfit/skin for Juan.

Did you hear me, Canada?
 
Ohh, yea.

Well, that's a problem with the west market, really. I don't see ads for anything that isn't a FPS shooter or the annual sport game.

Look at the background image. They're promoting a game launching in June, with no mention of a game coming out later this month. I don't believe there's been a PS Blog post, or new English trailer in more than a month too.

Seriously hate you right meow. :|

I am now replaying Mutant Blobs Attack in honor of Guacamelee. Haven't played it since first week of the Vita (second week for me technically since I got the First Edition Bundle). Gosh this game is great. Really fun, well-done platformer. I would love to see another in the series, but doubt that will happen.

Paskil is a cute kitten.

and I said it before all SCE heads (Shu,House,Becker)don't care about Vita and it's care this is the different between now and the PSP era.

I replay the last few levels from time to time and try to beat my score,since these levels were the best about the game and they got crazy ideas in them,if the game was more like the last few levels it will be pure amazing.
 
you make me jelly :(
haha somehow I do hope Sony makes it muchhh easier to generate promo codes (like the iOS App Store kind of easy..)
probably will get more coverage on games too (PS Mobile :/)
Isn't there a limit to the number of codes that iOS developers get? I'd prefer something more like Steam keys.

Looking forward to the (late) Guacamelee impressions.
 
general concensus is that most people here are getting guacamelee day 1? i'm iffy on soul sacrifice only because i've never played a "boss hunting" game.

edit: velocity ultra is due out in may right? I recall them saying they are aiming tosubmit in april which would put it out on PSN in may....

MLB The Show 13. Game is way better than last year's version performance-wise. I'm probably the only person not interested in Guacamelee.

PSN should really have that, I want to be able to buy a specific PS3 or PSvita game from Amazon.com as a code and use it on the system to get the game (not to buy $50 card just to buy a $30 game) and to be able to give buy a code and give it to a friend.

well Metroidvania is a niche genre nowdays,so you are not the only one I guess.
 
A question for those who've played the Toukiden demo: is it worth switching my Vita yet again to try it out? Keep in mind that I pretty much enjoy all Omega Force games so I'm bound to like this one, too... right?

Impressions in the Toukiden thread haven't been very positive, unfortunately. I've also been debating whether or not I want to go through the hassle of switching accounts to try the demo, but I'm leaning towards no.
 
P4G really is as great as you guys said it is. Started off slow as F&*#, lol, but now I can't put it down.

EDIT: And, Teddy is just about the creepiest thing I've ever encountered in a videogame.

So MLB The Show 13 really is that much of an upgrade to 12? I have 12 and was thinking of getting 13 sometime but if the revisions are only minor then I may wait until the 2014 version (assuming there will be one of course).

And.... you're not the only one not that interested in Guacamelee. I like the art style and Mutant Blobs was pretty fun but platformers really aren't my thing - especially one where you do wierd background switching when jumping.

(Ok.. I'll go turn in my "gamer's card" now...)
