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

yeah neither skylanders nor disney infinity will be coming to vita.

Disney reps actually gave a weird response when asked about Infinity on Vita. Definitely not a denial. I'm gonna presume it's not there at launch, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it later in the year, especially given the very close ties between SCE and Disney.
 
Sounds like it's pc gaming time ;)
Well, I might finally play through HotS (didn't even finish the initial tutorial mission on the first day before I set it down. But I've been catching up on a few novels to keep myself entertained otherwise.

Vita tempts me every time I sit down in the bedroom though.
 
So, Disgaea 3: This is pretty good for a list of spots to level up in. 2-1 in particular seems good right now. Using it to level up some new classes, but Mao and Almaz one-shotting enemies before I can combine them is a little annoying.

OMG thank you for the link! I was having so much trouble leveling up the new classes I was creating >.<.

This week's The Drop is up. I don't think we're ever getting a Soul Sacrifice demo, guys.

Welp. Although I don't see any demos shown on the Drop. Maybe it's not everything :D!?

Yeah I know...you don't have to tell me I am wrong.
 
Really hope they add an icon remember thing. I have a 8 and 16 gb memory card and the former is useless since I don't want to switch my cards because of the layout.

Didn't the Disney rep who was asked simply say "no comment"?

perhaps, either way we know it won't be there for launch.
and a no comment in this case could have simply been they weren't 100% sure if the higher ups passed on it or not yet.

Personally I really don't see any reason to have skylanders or disney on portables, they are not travel friendly given you need a portal and figures to play the game. I know there is the skylanders on the 3ds, but I sure won't ever touch it (even if they did make it a little more potable friendly by allowing you to upload characters for the go iirc)
 
I hope that icon layout thing is implemented too. Japan PSN has a lot of demos I want to play, but swapping cards is too much of a hassle right now. :(

Only thing stopping me to swap the cards! GRRRR!
If this happens I can finally use the 4gb card for some games i rarely play.

Yep. That alone would be enough for me to buy another 32GB card. If i could swap without messing up my icon arrangement i'd do it as much as i need to. No more space concerns! yay

Don't forget Epic Mickey 2 being ported - the plot thickens :)
 
Don't forget Epic Mickey 2 being ported

By Sony themselves. If they had any clue they should had asked to port the Infinity project. And with Sony handling it It could have looked just as good as the ps3 version as opposed to cutdown version of 3ds. Who knows maybe they will!

Since EP2 was epic flop it'd make sense if that were multititle porting deal.

And taking your PS3 infinity collection to the holidays with PSV sounds like quite interesting use case scenario :D

Porting a slightly better version won't make a trashy game any better.

IDK Kids playing Infinity in the privacy of their rooms without any cutbacks in gameplay and similar graphics with toys that can be shared between ps3 & vita. Lets not forget with Sony porting this could be crossbuy! Sounds like goldmine.

I was referring to Epic Mickey 2. I'm not interested in Disney Infinity either, but it could be good.
 
Isn't Vita pretty much the only platform that game ISN'T coming to?

Yup, but we do have a 360 and PS3 too. He was informed he couldn't have both Infinity AND Skylanders and had to choose between the two. He chose Infinity so used Skylanders money to get himself a Vita.
 
If folders/bubble locations update is announced soon i might spend this week's wages on another 32GB card. Do it Sony, then i can give you moar money :P
 
Just want to give a shout out to Oshimai, thanks for giving me the code for 10$ off SS :D. Also I actually was finally able to get my hands on a code for 10$ off SS so if anyone is interested (Requirements: Live in Canada, must purchase from Futureshop) I can give it out.
 
More companies to follow ninja release style soon? ;)
Atelier Meruru Plus localization confirmed?
One Piece Pirate Warriors 2 please... although that's being published by Namco Bandai.

I'm still debating whether to buy Totori, but I think I'll treat myself since it's my birthday today. :D
 
What would be totally awesome is if there was some way to store all your bubbles in the vita's internal memory (how much is there?) So that all your bubbles are there always and if you click the bubble it will respond in a similar way to when you have to insert a game card. This way its almost no big deal to have to swap cards.

Does that make sense to anyone?
 
Hey vitabros I'm having a weird problem with DLC I bought for both Hot Shots Golf and Gravity Rush (both card versions). I downloaded the most recent patch for both game but instead of installing the DLC when I launch them, it just launches as if there was no DLC to install. In the news feed all 3 pieces of DLC still show up as "Waiting to install", but I can't install it :/

Any idea what may cause this?

Try to re-download
Had some weird issue once with soundshapes dlc.
 
I finally started playing Gravity Rush.

I remember a fellow GAFfer saying (when I got my Vita, less than a month ago) that he hoped it "clicked" with me. Man, it clicked indeed! I love this game. The soundtrack, the main character, the way they tell the Story. I'm bad at those challenges and I'm having some trouble landing in the desired areas but I hope the game just don't spike the Difficulty on later levels. I did not even knew there was DLC! What a nice surprise, it payed off knowing almost nothing to this game and now I'm having a great time with it.

To be honest, I feel relaxed when playing this game. Persona 4 is still on my list as my soon-to-be first physical game Bought. I hope it can be a game good for relaxing and enjoying the Story too (plan on play it on Easy if that helps).

Happy Birthday :D. If only Sony had a gifting system like steam...GET IT DONE SONY.

Is the game of same region as your psn account?
If not u are screwed
 
Gematsu says Ragnarok Odyssey Ace (enhanced re-release with a bunch of extra content) is getting a western release.
Good for GungHo. Personally, I've worn myself out on Ragnarok Odyssey and won't be back for a full priced expansion.

Unless they buff the heck out of mages!

New features sound nice though, especially the mercenary NPC thing. Game is really annoying to play solo (I only stuck with it because I had a local co-op buddy for the entire campaign).

Music
Composed by Kuma Tanioka

Monster
Niizuegg (&#12491;&#12540;&#12474;&#12504;&#12483;&#12464;): A black dragon. In addition to biting and scratch attacks, it can also breath strongly.

Skills
ACE Skill.
There are ACE skills per class now. Skills include attacks, movement, and recovery.
In addition to button combinations for invoking a skill, there are also touch commands.
Skills per class are different, and it appears there are a range of ways to customize them.

Classes
Six classes are being carried over from the original game, but the illustrations have been redone.

Dungeon
&#8220;Tower of Yggdrasil&#8221;: A randomly generated dungeon with a layered structure. You&#8217;ll need a specific item to get in. The further you go, the more powerful weapons and cards you can acquire. You can take breaks every five levels. Multiplayer is also possible.

Equipment
&#8220;Harmonasu Weapon&#8221;: Using the right order, you can level up your weapon ability. Depending on how you level up, the shape of the weapon will also change.
There are new items, like clothes and accessories, based on the new monsters. It appears you&#8217;ll be able to change their color.
New cards have been added.

Other
A &#8220;Mercenary Helper&#8221; system has been added.
A &#8220;Mercenary Encyclopedia&#8221; with weapon and monster data, and a combat record showing play data, has been added.
&#8220;Daily Quests&#8221;: GungHo planning to offer a different quest every day.
 
I thought you said there was an embargo till Tuesday Kass. What happened?

If it makes you feel any better, in our hearts your review(whenever you post it) is what swayed us to purchase the game :D.

I checked the details on my copy, and it mentioned that someone (IGN) would have a day exclusive review. Embargo for everyone else is 12:01A PST.

Yay for Gravity Rush! I'm no good at the challenges either, but I think they get easier as you upgrade your powers. The gravity slide can be kinda tricky to get used to, just remember that you can turn slower/sharper if you let go of the finger opposite to the direction you want to turn.

I don't think the game gets too difficult. I haven't actually finished it (shhh) but I'm very close and it's more than manageable. I even think the guy who designed it said they made the trophies very reasonable so that people could finish everything pretty comfortably. Although I can't find where he said that, achah.

The DLC is pretty good, although it's short and very similar in terms of what you get in the main game. Also comes with bonus costumes. :3
 
Disney reps actually gave a weird response when asked about Infinity on Vita. Definitely not a denial. I'm gonna presume it's not there at launch, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it later in the year, especially given the very close ties between SCE and Disney.

Imo epic mickey 2(if sells enough) is a sort of sony's troian horse or a disney's tax to get disney games on vita.
If epic mickey 2 will sell well then we'll probably see infinity and other disney games, otherwise...

Yeah...dunno who would get paid to port Infinity though - Epic Mickey is being ported by the team that brought it to PS3 etc. Doubt Sony would put a first-party team on something like Infinity.
nStigate?
 
Anyone know when we'll be getting the PSN credit from March? I want Guacamelee tomorrow but it would be nice not to have to go purchase another PSN card for it.

And having bubble icon's be remembered by the Vita would really encourage me to purchase another memory card and start using my JPN account more frequently. I really hope this happens!
