I also read that the user got his name wrong. Like Wentos when it was supposed to be Wintos or something.

Plus Excursion is a terrible name. I mean the previous names weren't as hard sounding like this.

will there be a new thread created tomorrow (technically today because i'm in europe)

 

[Recon]

Has anyone else been having issues with the PS Store lately? I go to download a game - I click download, the download starts, then it hangs forever. I cancel it, and it just hangs forever. I literally have to do a force shut down with my Vita. This still counts as a legitimate shut down though, as I don't have issues on the reboot. Wtf is going on? How is this broken now?

Happens everytime I download something from the store. I love my vita, I can deal with the lack of vita games, but this is testing my patience with the thing.

 

[wilflare]

So I bought $70 in PSN codes today. After purchasing SS and LBPv, I'm left with $16.52. Not sure what I want to do with. I'm leaning towards Jeanne D'Arc. Or maybe a few PSone games like Wild Arms 2, or Arc the Lad I & II.

Any suggestions?

Ratchet and Clank: Full Frontal Assault?
It's now PS3 only.. but it's $10 for PS+ and will be Cross-Buy with the Vita release due soon
(you'll get Deadlocked HD free for the PS3 when the Vita version (of R&C:FFA) is released)

It hasn't happened to me until recently. So dumb. I think it started happening after the folders update...

Also, for the love of god sony, PLEASE fix the screenshot function. So tired of games looking like complete ASS in the screenshots taken. I want to show off my gaming on twitter and FB but they come out looking like complete shit.

 

[wilflare]

seems like standby downloading no longer works for me either T_T
re-enabled WiFi ON during standby... see if that fixes it (had to disable it previously to login to PSN)

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Oddworld for $15?

Guacamelee? Put it towards new little kings story?

I was going to buy FFA at retail, then I'll have retail copies of the entire R&C PS3 series. I don't mind paying the full price of $19.99

Guacamelee? Put it towards new little kings story?

Bought NLKS last year when it was released. Great game until the inevitable slow down hits.

Oddworld for $15?

Ding ding, we may have a winner!

How is the Vita port of Stranger's Wrath?

 

[Leona Lewis]

"One source has shared what they allege to be details about the new game. The game’s title doesn’t appear to be finalized yet, but its platforms are. It will be released on Wii U, PS3, 360, 3DS, PS Vita, PC, and “Next gen” consoles. This source says anything involving these new consoles is strictly confidential to people at the top of the company, so they unfortunately don’t have any information to share about those versions. As for the other versions, the source states the console, PC and PS Vita versions will be identical aside from the graphical differences, while the 3DS version will be another Sonic Rush styled game."

The new rumor lists the game on every platform but Vita.

Remote play killed Vita. PS4 accessory confirmed.

 

[ReaperXL7]

Remote play killed Vita. PS4 accessory confirmed.

Yeah, as much as its a feature I love, I do think that the crossplay stuff was a mistake. Atleast in reguards to PS3, its tough to convince people to buy your handheld when many of its best games can be played on the ps3 which far more people own.

Still, I have no clue how they are going to try justifying selling a $200-$250 controller for the PS4, unless they try to play it off as a premium accessory like an Arcade Stick, or Race wheel.

No matter how much I enjoy it, its hard to argue that things look bright for the Vita moving forward. I hope Sony can prove people wrong during the upcoming confrences, but the focus is going to be square on PS4.

 

[Schobeleth]

I wish they would fix the goddamn screenshots being compressed to where it makes games look as bad as 3DS games :\

Spoiler

kidding but this makes games look so bad

But seriously, please fix this Sony. Screenshots shouldn't be compressed this much, this is embarrassing.

 

[LuchaShaq]

For someone who actively did not enjoy the LBP games for PS3

is either the psp or vita version of LBP worth taking a look if I HATED the physics in the ps3 game, and have no intention of creating anything?

 

[VanWinkle]

But seriously, please fix this Sony. Screenshots shouldn't be compressed this much, this is embarrassing.

I mentioned this earlier, but the screenshots on that particular game, Zombie Tycoon II, look worse than I've EVER seen. I have no idea why. It doesn't look anything like that in the game!

Pretty much every game I've taken screenshots with looks noticeably worse, to where it even looks shitty. They need to fix this, as there's no video out so how can we properly represent Vita games?

I've read the Vita version's physics are notably improved over the console games. It's no Super Mario, but it's supposed to be better. Again, this is from what I've read. I just bought LBPv for the first time today.

Also, I believe a demo is still available on Vita.

It's even tougher to justify making a game exclusively on Vita when in current times you can't even justify making it PS3 or 360 exclusive.

Remote play killed Vita. PS4 accessory confirmed.

This doesn't make a lot of sense. The PS4 doesn't even exist yet and the Vita's been struggling to gather software support since before it launched.

 

[ReaperXL7]

It's even tougher to justify making a game exclusively on Vita when in current times you can't even justify making it PS3 or 360 exclusive.

I agree, which is why it falls on Sony to make the Vitas exclusives for it. They have the developers, but from the outside looking in right now it looks like they just dont have the drive to.

I dont personally care about Nintendos ips for the most part but Nintendo continuesly puts out major titles for 3DS (link to the past 2 probably could have moved some Wii Us), I do about Sonys, it just makes me wonder why they did not attempt to make games like GOWA, or Last of Us for the Vita instead of the PS3 which already has its place. Why no new Patapon games? Why not have small groups from all of Sonys major studios get together to makr a few new ip for it? Killzone and Tareaway look great, but it seems paltry when you consider the size of Sonys first party studios.

If Sony has any interest in seeing the platform survive, I just wish they.would show it, but who knows we have E3, Gamescom, and TGS still to come so maybe Sonys has some surprises for people.

All the games I've taken screenshots of so far looked pretty good. Sounds to me like it's specific to some games.

Soul Sacrifice screen

 

[Redhood]

Hey guys bought SS from the store. But I only got the game and the japanese voice pack in the dl list. No Outfits. Are they included in the voice pack? and whoa at 500mb voice pack Will not be able to download now!

 

[Schobeleth]

Soul Sacrifice screen

Hm, was that resized? I'm taking mine directly from the Vita, they're bigger than that and super jaggy. Like, even if the game doesn't have noticeable jaggies, for some reason it gets terrible with screens. Overall they always look worse than the game in motion, for me.

No that's full size. Like I told you, the other games' screenshots, while still compressed, aren't NEARLY as bad as in Zombie Tycoon II.


Really nice shot, btw, nerdstick.

Nada. Transfered using media manager straight to imgur. Although it was a cutscene.

Both the screens you and nerdstick posted are 960x544, aka. the native Vita res.

Care to name other games that also produced bad screenshots for you? All the screenshots I've ever took were always really clean.

They should be in your services list. On the main screen of the game with Librom, go to Network -> Peddler -> Claim Gift.

Ugh, tell me about it. Took some nice screenshots, only to find them having jpg artifacts upon inspection.

All screenshots are taken in 960x544 resolution, but not all games are native res. Soul Sacrifice definitely isn't. As for examples, Gravity Rush and Uncharted come immediately to mind.

For someone who actively did not enjoy the LBP games for PS3

is either the psp or vita version of LBP worth taking a look if I HATED the physics in the ps3 game, and have no intention of creating anything?

hmm, I would say no - but I also wonder if that's exactly what people dislike about that series. im not trying to project false consciousness on anyone but I think maybe there's an overattribution to floaty physics as the one thing wrong with it. if we just take it at face value that it's the physics maybe it's something that you can learn to appreciate. i have 11 different platformer games on my vita and I would probably think less of them if they all had the same snappy, responsive type of control. lpb is a series that plays with momentum. some of it doesn't quite work as intuitively as it should but I did learn to appreciate even some of the things I hated the most (like the grappling hook) when I started to internalize how the physics is in that game

If i were trying to convince you to buy the vita version in particular I would say that the game is more hybrid than pure platformer compared to the other games. what I find fun about it isn't necessarily jumping around although that can be fun too. it's the secondary interactions with the touch, gyro, etc.

 

[VanWinkle]

I see those more as games that just show their flaws when viewed at full size on a computer. That's because the are sub-native. Possibly, and even likely, a lower res than Soul Sacrifice. If you look at that screenshot of Zombie Tycoon II, even ON the Vita it looks at lot worse than the game itself does. If you look at Uncharted/Gravity Rush screenshots on the Vita itself, they look basically how they would when playing them game.

 

[wilflare]

think I'll probably get RC:FFA now and get the Vita version free due to cross-buy

kinda tempted by LBP: Vita and some other titles too... (Sly 4.. but gah)
$$$$

I didn't like the beta much. It wasn't anything that I expected from a Ratchet and Clank game.

I'm kinda drawn by the MOBA aspect.. think it'll be fun to play the MP on the Vita..
or maybe I should just wait

I think LBP Vita should be a good candidate for IGC right?
(unless Sony does not want us to think that all its first party titles end up on IGC at some point or another)

Personally I already don't like platformers, so if they don't have exceptionally tight controls like meat boy I already am unhappy on two accounts.

I know personally I had more fun watching the 30 min giant bomb quicklook of LBP created levels than I did in the handful of hours I spent with the default levels and random high rated created levels.

How is the Vita port of Stranger's Wrath?

I don't have it (plan to buy it later) but from the videos its like a perfect port of the Xbox version with gorgeous HD graphics. The only problem most reviewers say is that the game uses the back touchscreen for melee, so sometimes you have a perfect lined headshot and accidentally touches back there and your character punches the air. People say its annoying but other than that its awesome.

 

[Skyzard]

^ True, I think they added re-mappable controls in the latest update though, great port.

As always, any problems with the rear touchpad are sorted with a grip.

my PDP trigger grips havent been used at all.. maybe it's time to take them out for Soul Sacrifice

 

[Dorimukyasuto]

Alright guys, need some advice. Is it better to buy ghost of sparta, and play it with remote play on my vita, or should I just buy the psp version ?

I would get the PS3 version and use remote play. Remote play works really well on the God of War games. Also, no trophies on the psp version and the PS3 version is in HD.

So remote play works on the Origin Collection? I asked that earlier but nobody replied.

Free fifa 2013 - just got the code, so good! (with amazon UK order)

Thanks again for posting the deal guys!

You'd think this implies Fifa 2014 would be coming, otherwise how they benefit I dunno.

 

[maltrain]

Soul Sacrifice and Sly Cooper for 49 bucks... amazing price for both games.

I have only 5,60 dollars... what good PSM Mobile game (or games) could I buy for that value?

 

[ant_]

Is Sly Cooper worth getting?

For 13 bucks? Totally!!!
