Batman.

And no idea what else.

Cross-post from the Dragon Fantasy thread

Just got done interviewing the Executive Producer/ Creative Director of Dragon Fantasy. I think the most surprising part was that it only took them 7 hours to port the game to the Vita. Anyway, you can read the interview here

Dragon Fantasy Executive Producer on Books 1 & 2, Vita, and the Future of the Franchise

 

[PhantomOfTheKnight]

We don't know it's a 3DS port yet.

Also, Invizimals was announced last week.

What was the last game announced for any console? lol. Not really the time of year when new games are announced. E3 is less than 2 months away

According to the other thread Blackgate uses the Bluepoint Engine, which was used for both versions of All-Stars.

Will still buy... probably.

Why?

 

[nailbombxx]

Vita has nowhere to go but up with games like Soul Sacrifice, Muramasa and Dragon's Crown.

Let's fucking go!

I hadn't seen that. That's pretty great.

 

[Chance Hale]

Why has no one reviewed Machinarium outside of Pocket gamer? Seems bizarre, it's an excellent port of a pretty respected and well-known game.

This is for the vita version? If so that's really lame....is there a vita specific version of ad hoc party in the works?

Only Ad-Hoc Party was confirmed, I think. No online MP isn't unexpected but still disappointing.

This is surprising, not in a good way. Don't know what Bamco are thinking,

It shows what western world thinks about handhelds at all not Vita only

I wish Japanese developers would just get with the program on this stuff.

I hadn't seen that. That's pretty great.

Yep, it should look great (Native res!? 60fps!?) and it makes it pretty likely that the Vita could be the lead platform, with the 3DS receiving a downport. Fingers crossed.

Yeah it's certainly a good sign.

Less work is probably the reason. PSP version exists, why put in the extra work for WiFi multi on Vita, am I right?!

[Phoenician_Viking]

Indie games are good in small doses, but I wish we had more retail announcements. What was the last game announced for the Vita by a western developer?

You will take annual COD and AC and you will love it

 

[Daigr]

Don't forget FFX,X-2 and Ys

 

[Holmes]

Is there even any chance for a localization of God Eater 2?

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

Don't forget FFX,X-2 and Ys

Don´t forget about Killzone Mercenary aka. best graphical game on the Vita

Spoiler

until Uncharted something Vita is announced by Bend

 

[michaelius]

Probably yes - no licensing problems and rather limited amount of text.

Aside from Sony's dev tools guys doing a good job, I think that plays into the same argument that Jonathan Blow made about picking the PS4 for The Witness - having a platform that has far more power than he actually needed, meant porting and development was easier and faster because it wasn't necessary to customize the game as closely to the specific features and limitations of the platform. It's quite the opposite of the "Vita's too expensive to develop for" line that gets thrown around a lot here on GAF.

Outside of my Demon's Souls plat, this one was probably the most rewarding platinum for me because the few Death mode levels that were very difficult/luck involved made me feel great when I beat them. Also got platinum in Guacamelee this morning.

thing is,3DS can better than that.

this is just lazy on all fronts.

[quote="Holmes, post: 53886738"]Is there even any chance for a localization of God Eater 2?[/QUOTE]

Seeing all recommendation here are MHFU and no one at all recommend GEB(a better game than MH) to any of the poor people wanting a game from that genre(same on other places) I'd say Namco will see that there is no demand and will not release the sequel for the west.

That's some nice work. I still go back to Death Mode every now and then to grab a trophy. A few of the levels are just too frustrating though. I'm not sure if I'll ever plat it. It would be a nice double plat though since I also have PS3.

 

[Paskil]

Yar, actually got two platinum this morning. Three if you count both versions of Sound Shapes.

It's also coming to the plain ol' DS, so I'm pretty show that's holding both 3DS and Vita back. :/

There's no DS version of Lego Marvel Super Heroes, so hopefully that's better on both consoles.

 

[Holmes]

Oh, I got Toukiden and God Eater 2 mixed up. Both would be great to have in English though. Even if they're not that great, I'd support localization efforts for Vita RPGs.

 

[JoshHood]

I hadn't seen that. That's pretty great.

Me neither. Fantastic news. Wonder if Bluepoint are actually involved, or have started licensing their engine. Former is great news for the game, latter is great news for more 2(.5)D games on Vita.

Well GE1 was localized so I'd say GE2 has a decent chance.

[dan2026]

I feel like there is a wealth of Vita games in Japan and about 5% of it is being localised.

Sony or somebody really needs to step in and fix this.
Its not that Vita has few games, its that Vita has few localisations.

It needs Persona 5.

Currently playing Persona 4 Golden and it's the best RPG I've played in a decade.

I'm trying to keep this list (Vita retail releases from now till the end of the year) up to date

so question, is Batman Origins Blackgate a retail release on Vita?

also can someone made a Japanese version of this?

It's a PSP game. Not surprised.

God Eater 2 won't be localized anyways.

If Scamco threw a "Vita's not selling well" excuse for no Tales localizations, and can't even release the Vita port of One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 here I wouldn't expect GE2.

 

[Carl]

Oh i didn't realise there was a Soul Sacrifice preorder up on the EU webstore. Nice.

[corrosivefrost]

How do people find the patience to go for so many platinums? I don't have one but might go for Guacamelee's.

No patience required, mostly. Depends on the game though. Guacamelee! is a pretty easy platinum. I'd put it at about 3/10, maybe 4/10? Just solely because of some of the difficult platforming.

Does it work if I invite 3 online friends in PSASBR for the This Is Living trophy?

No.
Ranked battle required.

Holy shit! £29.99 too! Also release date is the 3rd, so I assume it did get delayed.

Would normally go retail but I have £15 of credit! Got exams early May to early June though, so might be worth holding off for me.

western Vita owners keep buying that crap game called MHFU anyway,not Namco's fault.

 

[Sol1dus]

I wish they would do a cross buy/cross play

.hack thats like pso2 and or monster hunter it would be amazing

Edit: do we know if the ss demo will have multiplayer?

I'm perfectly fine not having any other franchises emulating Monster Hunter.
