Is Sonic Racing happening today?
Click to expand...

Yes, in about two-and-a-half hours. Here's a few tips I got from PS3Trophies.org, should make the process easier/faster:

Race Class: C Class

Track: Jet Set Radio Classic. It has no special effects, no pits, no transform gates and is a very very stable track when playing online. Much less chance of a D/C from anyone.

Character selection: If you don't have 5 people. 1 person MUST pick shadow. In the games we tried the CPU picked Amy, then after 3 games it picked Knuckles.

TODAY IS THE DAY

NeoGAF Vitabros Sonic Racing meetup "Team Sonic trophy"


EVENT TIMEZONE ANNOUNCER HERE (19:00 CEST today)


EDITABLE PLANNING DOCUMENT HERE


We have nine people confirmed for this session. Sonic Vita has 8 player multiplayer, so we need to switch out if everybody shows up.

And remember: you only get the trophy if you WIN the race! So we have to take turns to let eachother win on a short track, like the Jet set track or maybe even Ocean. Shouldn't take too much time if we can coordinate this. (Party chat?)

I will add all the confirmed participants to my friends list in a couple of hours for this event.

See you guys on the track tonight/morning/afternoon ! ;)

Added myself.
 
This may sound strange, but does anyone have any recommendation(s) for a Vita game that works really well with the PULSE headset? These things are amazing in WipeOut, Uncharted, etc.

Gravity Rush
Sound Shapes
BlazBlue
Dokuro
Rockbirds
LBP
MGS: HD

TBH, it amps the sound for all games. Some sound better than others. In games like what you mentioned it really shines.

Where can I find the PULSE headset?

EDIT: Never mind, Google is your friend!
 
I posted elsewhere and got no response. I'm having trouble with my Windows 7 laptop. It seems my registry is corrupt and I have no clue on how to fix it. My disc drive is broken so my backup recovery disc is useless.

Uhhh...

VITA!

download Linux or something and get a new drive, you can't fix without reinstalling windows
 
These days I'm replaying silent hill book of memories a little bit and these are the biggest differences with the patch: 

pre-patch:
-when you die you lose all unsaved progress and reappear at the beginning of the level or in the save room after reloading the level
-poison traps leave who passes over it(player or enemy) with 1 hp for a certain number of seconds 

post-patch:
-when you die you do not lose any progress and reappear at beginning of the level or in the save room(without loadings), but you are forced to retrieve keys, medkits, repair kits and bullets from the place where you died(similar to demon's Souls)
-poison traps thankfully are not changed much, who passes over it stays with more energy than before and for less time. 

In words they do not seem big changes, but the game is now much more straightforward and forgiving, before the patch death used to mean redoing everything after a save(or after the beginning of the level), forcing the player to play with great caution, cunning and planning (a bit as I did with demon's Souls), since in each dungeon there's only one save point (and many dungeons are really big) and you don't even know where it is.
I guess that many will now find the game more accessible and perhaps better, but i have to say that i liked its being extremely punitive and unforgiving.

I have to rebuy Windows? Ehh ...
Click to expand...
Ah. Figured they just let you download it gratis and apply your own key. If that isn't the case, download an ISO through a less legitimate source and use the key that's plastered under laptop.

Actually, if it's a laptop with no drive, did Windows come pre-installed when he bought it?

You should check the manual because when I had a laptop with no drive it came pre-installed and I was able to reinstall windows by booting into a recovery move. It kept the installation files in a separate recovery drive. A Vaio, specifically.

The key on the laptop itself might be one-use. If neither of those work, enter no serial when it asks you for one so it goes into one-month trial mode, then just crack it.

Yeah it's been a blast so far. I don't know why I wasn't aware of thise headset. The range of the audio is really deep and then you turn on bass impact and it's like the range extends to the feeling of being in a theater or concert. It's made editing video / audio a literal ride.

I think I'm getting Sound Shapes soon thanks to a friend, but the rest of the games on that list I've never even thought about except for LBP (which we own) and MGS: HD. Only problem with MGS is that I don't know if my sister is ready for that kind of game yet. Maybe once she completes Assassin's Creed Liberation...

Welp. Looks like I'll be using Linux now as that Microsoft sticker is to faded out to see the numbers, and I'm not sure if I ever wrote it down...

See my post if you haven't! Those issued numbers often tend to be one-use, so if you re-install windows it wouldn't work anyways. You can get into windows without a key by entering nothing when it asks though.

Have you checked if there's a recovery partition?

You're right, this PC came with Windows pre-installed. I looked through the box and all I have is a quick start guide, lol.

I'm not sure how to check for a recovery partition.
 
I just keep getting 'game is no longer available' whenever I get invited in, and it's dinner time now anyway :( - cheers though guys, next time!
 
The Diva Point balancing in Project Diva f is silly. I get around 12,000-16,000 for passing an Extreme (max) difficulty song. Decided to check out Items (having previously avoided them as I assumed they were all cheats).

4x DP for the penalty of everything under 'Cool' (well timed note-presses) hurting your life meter, Cool refilling it. Got a perfect on normal- 47,000 Diva Points. After the 3,000 I paid for the item, it's still three times as profitable as playing on much harder songs..
 
Yeah, you send your Vita to these dudes and for like 400$ they mod it for video out, looks pretty good, surprised he found a match so fast in DOA5+ though lol.
 
Did you guys have trouble joining eachother's game(s)? I remember when I tried it with VanWinkle and Lyphen a while back we had a bit of trouble. - may have been ports / routers

Hope it was fun, I bet it was :'( I should avoid these threads full of people convincing themselves everyday that they don't need to buy a vita.

Yeah we stopped for now but we could always set something up for GAFers who need the trophy (next week for example) Just use the Sonic Google Doc to set a time and date and see who wants to join. Game is fun enough as it is.

The stream was way ghetto but I'm gonna try to make it better for other streams. Soul Sacrifice coop stream for example ;)
