hmm thoughts on Dragon Fantasy?
thinking on it. but not too sure at $8

It's not out yet.

 

[IHaveCandy]

I am! Now no more nosy roommate. Works flawless with the PC too.

Be sure to set it as the default device on your PC so that it auto switches to he headset when you plug in the receiver.

 

[ULTROS!]

It's not out yet.

There's an iOS version I believe.

 

[Takao]

I need this

 

[Kafel]

calm down with the Digimon baby stuff ; )

These came in the mail yesterday. Work amazing with the Vita
Had to turn the bass impact off otherwise my head will explode while playing wipeout.

But Wipeout 2048+SOL 2+Invaders must die = Heaven on these

Have they got a battery operated internal amp or something? My Vita can barely power my HD25s properly and they're a fairly sensitive headphone as far as mid-size cans go.

Yeap, but they can work like regular headphones when you turn it off or run out of battery.
These are really great. You can chose over sound type presets, adjust bassimpact and balance between headphones and mic.
Sound quality is just excellent, though it may be affected depending on your bassimpact setting. A really great headset overall.

Yes! These can be used as a standard headphone too I think?
Work for about 4-5 hours.

 

[Fusebox]

Niiice, I've even been tempted to bust out my old 9v headphone amp to drive my Sennys with the Vita but those look pretty badass for sitting in bed and Vitaing (vitating?) without waking the missus.

 

[sechsterangriff]

Yes, although they're marketed as wireless, they come with a regular minijack cable. You can use them like regular headphones when battery is out too.
These are actually some of the most versatile headsets you can buy right now, and definetly among the best when it comes to price/quality ratio.

 

[Fusebox]

Are these the same ones guys?

edit: Hmm, doesn't look it, yours have round bits on the sides.

No. These are the previous model and as far as I know are USB only, but I can't confirm it right now. Also they don't have BassImpact which is not very important for music but makes a difference in games.

These are the ones you're looking for.

 

[Fusebox]

Thanks man, that's a decent price too. I think I'ma pull the trigger on those.

 

[Shoyz]

Technically the day of Soul Sacrifice demo

Maybe I'm just a skeptic but I can't imagine PS3 branded headphones could be a good deal. I personally use V-Moda M80s.

 

[2+2=5]

That 200k tier is pure trolling.

Exactly, all they really want is the 3ds version(look at the 3ds tier with black background).
It's evident that the game could easily made with playstation mobile, paying only 80€ for the license and publishing it for vita and psm compatible smartphones.

 

[michaelius]

I don't believe those numbers for a second. There's a reason why Ready At Dawn shunned PSP and Vita development.

God of War numbers are official and from Sony even that second spin-off release after PSP collapse in west sold nearly 1kk

 

[IHaveCandy]

Yup. You can crank it full blast. When the battery dies, they act like regular headphones though.

 

[dan2026]

I can't wait for the Soul Sacrifice demo.

Getting so freaking excited!

Is that the Japanese equivalent to the EU Platinum (or even Essentials) and the US Greatest Hits releases?

Also, Guacamelee is amazing. Just saying. Was put off the Metroidvania stuff when Knytt was kinda crappy, but this is so much better.

I really want this

I played the really short japanese demo, it has a great atmosphere, at the time i preferred it to the virtue's last reward demo...

What is that? Murder solving adventure?

 

[Takao]

Yes. It's SCEJ's budget reprint line. The article compares the lineup of all the PlayStation platforms for their first round of "The Best" software:

PS1 - 3 games (1 year 7 months after launch)
PS2 - 5 games (2 years and 4 months after launch)
PSP - 7 games (11 months after launch)
PS3 - 4 games (1 year and 4 months after launch)
PSV - 8 games (1 year and 5 months after launch)

What is that? Murder solving adventure?

True Night of the Kamaitachi - adventure game from Spike Chunsoft

 

[BlackLagoon]

What is that? Murder solving adventure?

Yeah, it's part of a long running murder mystery series. IIRC the first game in the series is regarded as the origin of the visual novel genre in Japan. I don't believe any of the games have ever been brought west though.

Basically it's like vlr, but you don't search for puzzles but for evidences that you use to prove something.
In the demo there was a boy accusing a girl of something, you look in the room in search for elements and then you associate them to what the boy said to prove the girl's innocence and to accuse the boy.
The demo was really short and it had really few things to do, but man what an atmosphere! What a music!

I know it's getting localized for iOS but there's no word yet.

Man, how I'd love Aksys or some other company to localize this game.

So, it's like Ace Attorney Investigations.

I don't think China is supported by PS Mobile, actually. Not mainland China.

Beyond that, Playstation Mobile is just not a very good platform. Most companies/developers apparently aren't even releasing relatively easy ports on it (like say from XBLIG), much less games that would need extensive re-writes.

 

[2+2=5]

Yes, or like danganronpa(another game i'm begging for), but visually and maybe gameplay wise is more similar to vlr, at the time i played both vlr and that game demos on the same day, and now i'm playing the full vlr game, so it was inevitable for me to mention vlr lol.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

lol, that C-Wars Kickstarter has updated its stretch goals. Vita is now higher up in the list.

??? = Never

 

[Paskil]

It's probably ??? because someone at Sony saw this and thought it was as fucking ridiculous as we do. They most likely either set up a meeting or some type of presentation to show them how easy it would be to put their game on PSN so they changed it to ???, pending. The vocal support recently from the indie community has to be having some influence on other devs.

Edit: plus, it's just potential bad press. Such a huge increase to port the game to Vita when there have been so many stories recently about how welcoming Sony is. Sure that 200k stretch goal looked good to the Nintendo fanboy crowd, but they probably got a bunch of ridicule and criticism via email.

[ThatStupidLion]

So what should i focus on upgrading in guaca? Moves or attributes?

 

[Holmes]

Here's what they've said.

Seriously, there is a reason; we don't know if we can have dev-kits from SONY. But we are working on it, if we get positive feedback from them about PSVita kits, it means clarification about the kits price and dev environment and so on, we will update the stretch goal as reasonable as possible.

They obviously want it on the 3DS the most, but it seems like they've gotten or are in the process of getting positive feedback/clarity from Sony, I suppose. At least that's what the "updated" stretch goals might mean.

That was obvious, but the 200k goal for vita was a real fraud! 150k to complete the game and porting it to 3ds, wiiu and ios and 50k just to port that game on vita... Really?

 

[TheShampion]

I just got Guacamelee and I was thinking of getting Mutant Blobs attack, but China Town Wars is going on sale this week. Decisions, decisions...

Mutant blobs, it's shorter but it's better imo, a top down gta is too difficult to digest(high speeds + very limited view...), 3rd person view is perfect for gta imo.

 

[nampad]

Finally the Soul Sacrifice demo is coming tomorrow but my internet connection is dead since friday and should have been fixed yesterday by a technician. He just didn't bother to come around or at least cancel. Because he didn't cancel I can't request a new one after already taking my time off the whole afternoon yesterday. After dozens of uninformative hotline calls I am really frustrated. Damn you o2 and telekom

 

[Shai-Tan]

How big is the soul sacrifice demo? I'm trying to figure out what to delete.

 

[Fusebox]

Every time this thread is bumped I get excited thinking the Texture Sacrifice demo is finally up.

 

[nampad]

Japanese demo was around 1.1gb someone mentioned here.

You still have at least another 10 hours to go.

when I first saw it... I felt bad for actually referring C-Wars to Shahid on twitter just days before they uploaded their stretch goals @_@

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

Caved and bought Peace Walker again, bye bye PSP.

Forgot how damn good this game was. Anyone on GAF still play this? I've never actually Co-op'd this game.

 

[Fusebox]

C'mon it'll be the 17th here in Australia in 1 hour! The NA store needs to stop living in the past.

I gotta be honest. I quoted you just to get your hopes up.

Grrrr, I will seek revenge for this when you least expect it.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Is someone going to put up a SS demo impressions/meet up thread for the US/EU demo?

 

[BlackLagoon]

Ghostlight commented that they're "looking for Vita titles" to release on their blog. Mostly they tend to pick up EU rights for Japanese games translated by Atlus, Aksys, XSeed, etc., but they do occasionally localize games themselves.

 

[Azull]

I need this

You're really into Digimon huh?

Technically the day of Soul Sacrifice demo

Hoping for an early update on the store! Still need to make some room for the game though =\.
