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

im happy with the folders being added, but i would have liked it if it was more than 10 items in a folder

here's hoping the next update allows folders in folders lol

And there's still a 100 icon limit so it's fucking pointless anyway

im no where near the item limit, i just wanted folders for two reasons.
1. to stick all the preinstalled crap I never use in.
2. to stick all the tiny games I have on my system that I will likely never play in.

2. is greater than 10 but if i could put folders inside of the folder I would be ok

base folder name, tiny crap I won't play
inside folder, PSM games, Free to play games, PS+ junk

if i ever actually filly my memory card I will just delete those so it's not a big deal, but I like being anal with my sorting.

Or a sneaky way of saying, hey dallow, buy another memory card to store all your damn PSP minis.

Bwahaha.
You don't need all those minis anyway.
Look at it this way, the folders are at least a start... hopefully we'll get bigger memory cards and higher than 100 item limits in the not so distant future.
 
I'm in the market for a new case for my Vita. My current one is too bulky, and I really want a case similar to the Logitech PlayGear Pocket. Any recommendations?
 
I have 68 items on my screen at this time. 69 (
awwwwwwwwwwww yissss
) When I add Guacamelee tonight. I only have about 4GB of space right now on my 32GB card. I'm alright with the 100 item limit, so long as it isn't in effect on larger sized cards, which better be coming.
 
New firmware sounds great. And getting it tonight? Awesome!

Edit: wait, still an icon limit? So stupid. I mean, I don't have 100 icons but I know there are people that do, so it seems so dumb that it wouldn't be 1000.

Well at least there are some helpful stuff this time,hopefully next FW will allow as to turn the text under the bubbles and add more option to PSP emulator.

I forgot how awful the Vita's OS was. Guess this means the chance of a rehaul is nil? Maybe some parity with the PS4? :/

It is time tho, they need to copy Microsoft (not in the UI design) and change the UI once every year to keep Vita "fresh" for the old users.

There's got to be a reason that they didn't increase the number tenfold, there's no logical reason why they would choose to limit it if they didn't need to.
 
I think the 100 icon limit affects so FEW vita owners I'm not sure why you're making a big deal about it.

Arguing hypotheticals just make you sound like my wife.

sorry
 
I'm pretty sure if you change the UI, you'll have just as many unhappy as happy. I like the current interface and hope it remains unchanged. Obviously there are things to improve but I like the current format.

I definitely wouldn't say I'm partial to it to not accept something else. Hopefully it would be better.

I really don't care for bubbles.

That's a terrible idea.

Why? I said not copying the UI design from MS but just having a new UI design every year(I got sick of XMB and I don't want the same UI for years and years on Vita too)

well you cannot please everyone.

I really don't want a PS3 situation when the UI became so old and boring that I feel like my TV is pooping dust whenever I turn the PS3 on.

if they have legitimate changes to make that is one thing, but change just for the sake of change tends to be terrible.

I would rather stick with one UI that works well enough instead of having to deal with a new one every year each with it's own pluses and minuses.

Of course I am also someone who rarely likes change, and the last few video game sites that had major changes I stopped using (though I do like koktau's new design better than their last new design which I absolutely hated)

Changing a UI every year just for the sake of change is foolish. If the old UI isn't broken or outdated and the new UI doen't offer any significant advantages over the old, or if you're not trying to unify the user experience across multiple devices then there is no reason to suddenly switch it up.

but it don't work well enough and it don't look good enough, the bubbles have ugly jaggies,using d-pad is not ideal on the UI,scrolling between pages is very slow and sluggish.

I agree with most of that, except scrolling between pages slow and sluggish. Don't know HOW on earth you possibly came to that conclusion.

personally it's my favorite UI of the ones I have (360, ps3, ds, 3ds, psp, wii)
as long as I can easily make out what my bubbles are I really don't care if they look like they will cut me as i touch them.

and yes the D pad isn't ideal, in fact in general I hate using touch controls and I use them on the vita because they require a lot less effort due to how the UI is designed, but it was only a small adjustment.

as for scrolling between pages being slow and sluggish... it takes me far less time to find a game on the vita than it does on the ps3 or 360... the ps3 takes forever to load crap, and both of them take forever to scroll through.

now is there perhaps a way to make things work a little better, most likely, i mean folders will at least allow me to get rid of a page of crap so it will be a little faster, but I really can't think of to much to change about the vita UI aside from allowing more customization with how our apps are displayed.

tl;dr I don't feel the vita needs a new UI I feel it just needs more customization options.

I like that. A 2.5D game can work, even if it's basically the same as the 3DS version.I'm not completely dismissing this game, unlike the actual full console AAA version since that game isn't made by Rocksteady.
Click to expand...

at least Vita got a 2.5D game that on 3DS too.. so that something to be happy about since Konami said Mirror of Fate -a 2.5D game- can't be done on Vita you know. :P
 
I'm blocked at level 4 of C64 in Life of pixel....I don't know how to reach the platform on the top-left of the stage.
Can someone help me?

EDIT solved!
 
Pffft first world 100 icon limit problems.
Glad for folders though, never been a fan of multiple screens so works for me.

Although they should really put out a 64gb stick.
