Screw these finals man. I just wanna sit on my fluff chair and play geams. I'm such a child sometimes.

I know the feeling. I have papers to write but everytime I go to write something my hands slowly drift towards the sweet release of handheld gaming.

I don't see a Sony exec promoting modding of their hardware, heh.

Haven't been looking at this thread in a while -- does anyone know if May's PS+ Vita offers are good, or at least hinted to be good? April's was lackluster, I think only Soul Calibur was for Vita. I really hope Little Big Planet will come to IGC someday.

Germinator and Pinball Arcade are confirmed so far.

 

[Schobeleth]

I'm still so torn guys. I really need to stop being so goddamn indecisive and play one of my games .. I think the problem is that there is just too many Vita games for me to play All those other threads with people preaching "Vita Haz No Gamez" up and down but..... are they playing the same Vita that I'm (lots of others too) playing?

Hmm I was hoping for a retail game, but at least it's not a PSP game.

I have PS+ for Vita, but I barely have any time to play games. When I do, my 3DS is grabbing all of my attention with Fire Emblem and Luigi's Mansion.

Aside from the PS+ free games, I really don't have any plans buying retail games other than FFX/X-2. Everything else is for 3DS/Wii U. So Sony should announce many good games during E3.

 

[Takao]

RIP Call of Duty, unless we get another spinoff or something.

Maybe they're giving this year to Killzone, doubt they'd let go of Vita forever, they did well without even trying.

Who knows, might still show up later on this year still.

The thing is, unless they port down an existing game, I don't see them having yearly releases for the vita. They don't have two teams working on a handheld spinoff like they do on the hd consoles.

 

[Skyzard]

Sucks but I can understand that - and not wanting to use the same engine again. Might be a while then, doubt the Vita would be able to do straight down-ports...or maybe with separate mp and sp - but it wouldn't really suit the Vita anyway - needs it's own features and bot mode etc.

Different tastes I guess? I'm pretty much devouring everything, racers, shooters, platformers, whatever. My backlog is as follows:

Wipeout 2048
NFS: Most Wanted
Rayman Origins
Lumines Electronic Symphony
Uncharted Golden Abyss
Army Corps of Hell
DJMAX Technika Tune
Ragnarok Odyssey
Little Deviants
Persona 4 Golden
LBP Vita
Dungeon Hunter Alliance
PSABR
Hots Shots Golf World Invitational
Ninja Gaiden Sigma +
Disgaea 3 Abscence of Detention
Blazblue Continuum Shift Extend
Retro City Rampage
Sine Mora
Knytt Underground
Dokuro
Big Sky Infinity

All of those games have yet to be beaten, or have their main modes completed. I know, I know... it's stupid how I just keep getting games :\ I have Soul Sacrifice on the way now and I have lots of other games I want to get... I also need to redownload Strangers Wrath. I won't even bother listing my PSP/PS1 list because I have a stupid amount of those to play through as well.

 

[Skyzard]

I love have games left to complete, makes playing them less work and more fun and gives you some lasting variety and value.

Huh? Something happen?

Box art leaked for PS3/360/PC/WiiU versions, but radio silence on a Vita port.

But not quite RIP yet...

Who would Activision even hire for the Vita port?

Activision Mobile? nSpace?

My girlfriend scolded me for playing Soul Sacrifice while she proofread my papers


Edit: really wished Sony patched Modnation, that game was way more fun than what I played of Sonic's Transformed. Modnation was really really good until the frame rate at the end started to piss me off too much.

 

[Iacobellis]

Neversoft.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Activision Mobile? nSpace?

Neither of them have Vita experience, right?

Neversoft.

Aren't they beholden to the COD bi-yearly dev cycle?

No clue, yet. It's been IW and Treyarch for a long time now.

 

[Takao]

Nope, but neither does any independent studio capable of making a Call of Duty. Activision Mobile was formed out of former Rockstar Leeds (GTA PSP/DS games) people.

When I first tried Soul Sacrifice demo out, I was pretty confused by the gameplay and didn't get it. Yesterday played some more and finally started to get a hang of it and enjoyed it a lot, so I preordered the game to get the JP language pack. Decided to even pay it in advance so I wouldn't be second guessing myself and cancelling it in the last second.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

I really hope the Soul Sacrifice preorder bonuses are available to PSN purchasers in the US? Other wise I'll have pickup my Gamestop reservation for the preorder codes, then return the game the next day for PSN codes.

Pretty much my plan but with Amazon.

Hey guys, BlueMaxima is raising money to get a modded vita for the video out option. Support a fellow gaffer and Vitabro! I appreciate his vita vids a lot.

Way do the "trophy pickups" looks like in "Thomas Was Alone"? I haven't found any of then yet and I just made it to the four stage, Associations.

 

[Shai-Tan]

is that mini golf game any good?

 

[TheSeks]

What mini-golf? You mean Hot Shots Golf?

 

[Takao]

What mini-golf? You mean Hot Shots Golf?

The AR one I imagine.

 

[TheSeks]

Oh, then no. Because it's AR which sucks just as bad as waggle.

Get Hot Shots Golf instead.

 

[Shai-Tan]

already got hot shots.

that mini golf game is ar but it only uses one card. it's not like pulzar where the game is overlaid on top of the real environment. was just curious about how good of a mini golf game it is

Then get it? it's only $2, I've been eyeing it too since I'm a sucker for AR but I already have too much of a backlog as is.

 

[Takao]

too many fightuhs

 

[JoshHood]

Oh, then no. Because it's AR which sucks just as bad as waggle.

Why are so many people suddenly trying to buy Vita capture kits?

 

[bobbytkc]

Why are so many people suddenly trying to buy Vita capture kits?

So that they can make proper gameplay videos instead of using an over the shoulder camera? People who just want to play games need not apply. It is for people who wants to make video content using the Vita.

But why now? Those capture kits have been out for months now IIRC.

What's the difference between Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and Monster Hunter Freedom 2?

Which one is the best?

Unite is Freedom 2 with more content added.

Dat D-pad.

 

[Takao]

The thing is Vita's fighting game market is pretty saturated. Toss in Soul Calibur, Tekken, KOF, etc. and you'll have every major brand represented.

I'm with cha, outside PS+ freebies I have DJMax to start and next week Soul Sacrifice and being a multiplatform gamer with an even bigger backlog on consoles, I have to say I have overabundance of games to play.

 

[Shadowman16]

They are really difficult to see until you know what your looking for. They are just tiny black squares no more than a few pixels tall/wide. Replay Stage 1.3 I think(where you just run to the right as the ground behind you crumbles) and go left instead, hovering just above the water is the first pick up is. Not to many of them are in obscure places (bar the last two perhaps) so once you know what to look for you'll be able to get them with few problems.

 

[Hanmik]

Soul Sacrifice is probably the game (for me) that is the hardest to review in a LONG time. The game is so big and has so many different mechanics in it, that I have a REALLY hard time keeping the review short and to the point... it just feels wrong to write to little about it.

 

[dallow_bg]

Like kassatsu said, wanted someone I guess in this region to purchase one first and verify results.

Yeah that's true, as a casual fan of fighting games I'm pretty satisfied with having just one, MK thanks to plus. The problem here, I guess, is that the fighter fanbase isn't broad enough to have so many fighting games released so close to each other.

Don't worry - at least you are playing it unlike a certain polish portal who saw things like 60 fps in game
