It's a capacitive screen. You don't have to be physically touching to activate any of these things. However, it shouldn't be causing a problem.

Like I said, I've never seen a capacitive screen acting like this (owned an iPod Touch since early 07). Knew the Lumia bragged about high sensitivity so you could use gloves, but didn't know it ment the electrical impulse could travel through air.
It did actually cause a problem when it was snowing lightly and I listened to a podcast on it on my way too school. It was moving like crazy through the apps and I was totally unable to use it even with my back against the wind.

The third thing bothering me (not huge) is that Near thinks I'm in Bærum when I'm in Tromsø... It did know the location when I was at my University so suddenly I had moved 1100km (it's more like 1600 on Google Maps). I have a 3G model with GPS, but could it be because of my WiFi or are there just too few Vitas here?

Guacamelee is pretty fun and really funny. Those guys at Drinkbox have a great sense of humor and it really shows up in their games. I had $10 left in my PSN account so I went ahead and picked up Guacamelee this evening with the PS+ discount and am immediately glad that I did.

And did you guys notice that we're getting Dragon Fantasy Book I next week? $7.99 with the PS+ discount. I've heard good things about it.

 

[Ljwinter]

Not as excited about the cart icon as I thought I would be. Yuck.

It's so tiny. I know my eyes aren't the greatest but wow. Maybe a scrolling text would have been better?

 

[Sol1dus]

Levine made it seem like Sony just asked him to show up on stage. I don't think money's left any hands yet.

The guys from IGN actually asked him and he said he was just voicing his opinion on the Vita. Until the publisher says its a profitable proposition, ain't nothing gonna happen.

His words.

 

[ZeroAKA]

It's nice that you don't have to name your folders.

 

[cyborg009]

Nihilistic was a last-resort choice. I don't think anyone would have expected Declassified to turn out the way it did.

12 million gone to waste.

 

[Pimpbaa]

You can finally tell what game card is in your system now without having to take it out? About time.

 

[OmegaZero]

*sigh* Yup, it appears that MNM actually runs better than Mentor, and it's very noticeable. Probably doesn't run good on certain chapters still, but I guess I should mention this in that other video I did before.

Good to hear.
And what other video? This thread moves too quickly for me.

Oh yeah, good catch.

Good man. Drinkbox are fucking awesome.
I went and bought a $20 card so I could buy it (and as a bonus had enough left over to buy the MGR Jetstream Sam DLC). I like what little I've played so far.

As for the 2.10 update, not impressed here. The icon is kind of neat, but as I only own a single cart these days, it's not really useful to me. I don't like the aesthetics of folders and I can't group enough things in them to clean everything up so it's all on one page. Even if I did a folders for PSP/PSOne/PSN/Vita/System or something, I wouldn't fit all the PSN or Vita games in a single folder. And I don't like the way they look with the preview either. They should have an option to just show the last played game/app from in it as the default icon in the bubble or something.

Besides all that, it locked up my system as I tried to scroll from page 1 to 2 before I even tried folders. Had to do a safe mode restart to fix.

 

[crinale]

Browser supporting analog sticks?

 

[beason52]

anyone know how to back up your bubbles before changing memory cards?

this change (if its really there) and the folders are so epic. finally my 8gb will stop being a complete waste of space because I don't have to rearrange my 32gb to use it...
is it done automatically?

btw mlb the show 13 is excellent on vita. my ps3 recently yellow lighted and until I get around to baking it in the oven I'm so glad I chose the vita version

 

[Leona Lewis]

Wow, the icon for the cart looks awful.

Should've been like that mock-up someone here made. I can't find it, but basically, it was a bubble icon to the left of whatever the currently active app was. Why they use the cart's art rather than the more minimalistic and legible home screen icon, I don't know.

 

[ZeroAKA]

Oh yeah, good catch.

The next step is to allow us to remove the title text under all (non-folder) bubbles.

 

[Derrick01]

Why is Snake such a retard in MGS 2? He keeps dying on the first tag team section where you keep moving up in the area. On the last part he literally keeps running out into the open and running in circles while occasionally taking a shot at an enemy. I don't remember this from the PS3 HD collection or the PS2 original.

 

[Figboy79]

Jeanne D'Arc for $15 is amazing. I will definitely pick it up eventually, but right now, I have a lot of games I'm working through (like Persona 4 Golden and Guacamelee to name only 2).

I'd hate to add it to my backlog. I only played a few hours of it back when I had a PSP, but loved it. I wish Level 5 would do more stuff like that for the Vita in the future.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSN0eDVU9BU <- just a play through of one level in Sigma and Sigma 2 -- I was bitching about how crap Sigma 2 ran... I'm posting it back tomorrow though.

Maaaan, the folders are ugly useful I put all of the useless stuff in one so now all of my Apps-that-aren't-games can be on a single page (yay). I also put a folder called Archive on that page, where I can keep all of my saves for games I rented or don't carry with me. That way I won't see an icon and get constantly reminded that I don't own the game.

 

[Leona Lewis]

That was me!

Yep, that would've been ten times better.

[jwk94]

So are we now able to switch between JP and US PSN accounts as long as we have two memory cards? Or would we have to format the system firs?

And what does Sony do with these firmwares? The second I click start, it shoots up to 12%. It's amazing.

 

[VanWinkle]

Man, even though the folders bubble looks extremely ugly, it's SOOO nice having my bubbles all organized into two pages. Feels so good.

Guacamelee is still at a perfect 5.00 rating on the Vita store with 104 ratings. Beast. The game is fantastic.

 

[Ran rp]

Cross post.

The homescreen is so clean and liberating now.

This update was much needed.

Didn't think to alphabetize my bubbles in the folders. I'm going to do that now.

I need to do that myself. I already had them alphabetized but just threw them wherever when putting them into the folders.

Holy Moses. Guacamelee! is fucking off the chain, dawg.

Buy it NOW.

PSY- S where can I get that Earth background?

 

[mattiewheels]

I was messing around with folders after the update, and I glance up in the status bar like, "what's that little icon I've never seen"...then I notice it's a pic of the card I have in the slot right now and lost my fucking shit. That's great!!

 

[Redhood]

This was much better and indicative.

I really hate that new ugly icon to show the cart in vita. Not to mention it can cause burn in also. Also I hate how when u open the folder it defaults to blue background and removes the wallpaper

 

[wilflare]

post that to the blog. ask the PSV team to consider this!

WAIT, Frobisher Says! finally got the trophies patch? Or are you from the UK?

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

I like having a lot of backgrounds on my Vita so I got it down to 5 but then I added one more beneath the 1st screen for my active games screen, where I will rotate art out for the game I am playing currently. Right Now that art comes from Guacamelee and PvZ and Chess share the page alongside Guacamelee. Later in the month those games will get rotated out and be replaced with games Like Dragon Fantasy, Thomas Was Alone, Zombie Tycoon 2, and Soul Sacrifice.

I think it was a server side update or something. I saw it for the first time... last wednesday I think.

WAIT, Frobisher Says! finally got the trophies patch? Or are you from the UK?

Yeah, a bit ago now. I've already gotten 100% for it and the DLC pack that's in the US and deleted it again.

--

Guacamelee! has amazing combat depth and is not only the best $15 2D brawler I've ever played, but it also eclipses any metroidvania style download only games I've played. I think the only one that might be able to hold a candle to this would be Dust, but I haven't played that yet.

Another phenomenal thing about this game? The references. They're so much better than the ones in RCR. I'm not annoyed buy them, but rather, they make me smile and laugh. Well done, Drinkbox.

Does anyone know if there's 2 trophy lists like with Soundshapes crossbuy?

 

[GraveRobberX]

WAIT, Frobisher Says! finally got the trophies patch? Or are you from the UK?

It got US Patch in late March

Im in NYC, got almost all the Trophies for them, missing 2, 1 from the DLC, 1 from the Main Game

The second DLC has not released in the US so far

YES!! Looks like I have a reason to play this again, might even buy the DLC now.

I know! Game is amazing. Plus the controls are so tight.

What card icon are you guys talking about?

Man you have so many bubbles. So folder implementation does really help some users after all.
(I was kinda curious if this is really desired feature, but I was wrong.)

It shouldn't cause any more burn in than what's already on the UI.

 

[Takao]

(Tells you what physical card you have in your Vita)

I need a stylus, my handwriting is not that bad ...

Also, it's pretty neat how I snapped that photo with my Vita, edited it on the same hardware, and then posted it onto Twitter. The beauty of modern handheld hardware everyone.

 

[anddo0]

I'm down to three blades.

I put everything into sub categories (action/adventure. arcade, PSP/PS1) etc... I gave the top 5 games in my rotation their own blade, no folder.

Yet we still can't copy and paste.

 

[Gamespawn]

So far, the only videos that seem to streem in-browser are from youtube. Anyone have any luck with other websites?

 

[beason52]

Same for me. I want to know how does this work (I'm working right now).

It seems to be automatic but it isn't 100% perfect. I tested it and a few of my bubbles moved. The only issue seems to be when a game is installed on both cards (or in my case, a bubble was on the 8gb card from the retail version and I had the PSN version on the 32gb). Took about 5 seconds to fix though, as opposed to re-doing the entire home screen.

I searched around and there's no "save bubble layout" type option.

Actually, it defaults to whatever color you had it on before the wallpaper. So if you change that pages background to green, then reset your wallpaper, the background will be green when you open the bubble.

 

[Azull]

I finally decided to take a break from Guacamelee..my god the game is glorious.

Just so much of everything was done right. The combat feels extremely satisfying, especially when pile driving/suplexing. The characters are quiet hilarious aswell, especially love the pollo power cause...well pollo power man.

The references...mother of god the references lol. I also found a QR code, wonder if there's more hidden.

Seriously, get this game.

Bravo Drinkbox, better than I expected .

Thanks! That is helpful and is some solace.
