Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | May 2013 | Lovecraftian Wasteland

Hmmm, I already have Origins for the Xbox, so not sure about the value if I double dip for the Vita... But hmmm, it does look gorgeous..........

Marvel pinball eh? Hmm. How about Zen Pinball 2? Which one is a superior pinball game according to you folks?
The Marvel in question is UMVC3 I think you'll find.
 
Managed to grab Virtua Tennis 4 Vita in a bargain bin for $15 :D

Looking forward to giving it a try after I stop playing Soul Sacrfice (which could take awhile at the rate I'm going)
 
Seriously, I just started up Lumines: Electronic Symphony for the first time and I'm still doing the same session from the train here at school. It must have been 30 minutes or something. ^_^

Love this game. Loved it on PSP as well.

Looks like Gravity Rush and VT4 are getting the love they deserve in this thread! Report back with you impressions at once!
 
Okay.. Ive calmed down my fever to spend my mula...

I think Ill just get Ghost of Sparta on Vita. I've heard its one of the top titles for PSP.

Ill skip Portable Ops for now since its so bare bones and Ill play Peace Walker on PS3 for the better quality. Same with Chain of Olympus since it'll be the better version.


Why does PS+ make me want to spend my money yo? It's like goddamn mind control. Every week it's like clockwork on my wallet smh

Heckmanimation: What does Zombie Tycoon play like?

Imo it's exactly the opposite, peace walker is the casualized, easier and simplified version of portable ops.
Level design, management, story, well basically everything is more flat, easy and basic in pw, pw cuts all the good things of po that made me enjoy it, i will never understand the praise for pw and the underestimation for po.
 
Guacamelee is amazing.

Definitely in my radar for sure!

A question! Does the FFT: War of the Lion still suffer awful framerate problems when played in Vita?

Also, this might sound silly but, if the connection breaks mid-way downloading something, I don't have to repurchase the content again, yes? I think not, but just to be sure. Also, are content already downloaded remain free in the future for re-downloading?
 
Started playing my 4€ Virtua tennis Copy. And damn that game is good. Plays nice, looks beautiful, and really adapted to a handheld. loving it so far !

No, no need for repurchase. Once purchased it'll sit in your download list for, pretty much, ever. And if you're talking about PS+ freebies then they'll remain free for as long as your subscription lasts. If your sub runs out, it's not free anymore. Though I think if you resub they'll become free again, but I'm not sure. I'll let someone else chip in on that.
 
Any word on Hotline Miami (EU)?

Been checking the store every day... can't wait to weird some folks out with this during a crowded commute.
 
I had finally saved enough for 32Gb card and a 50$ psn card to make last minute puchases in all star sale. Was about to go buy them online after work.

And what do I do GAF? I bid on a 3ds. Am I a bad vitabro GAF?
 
Can you play online against others in Virtua Tennis 4?
Yep, you can do Player Matches or Ranked Matches. There is usually some lag in Ranked Matches so it's quite bothersome. The "online" aspect of the World Tour mode isn't necessarily online. It just takes your player and puts them in another person's Tour to play against during their run.

Not sure about the region, but the Twitter account did mention that they're hoping to get the game out by the end of the month.

Lol no, you can own both consoles. You don't need to swear your allegiance to the Vita. :P

I was looking into getting a 3DS but then Soul Sacrifice came out so I don't need it anymore, haha.
 
Bahhh, Vita + 3DS combo, like myself, for the best of all worlds! :D :D :D

Yeah I agree. Though I prefer the Vita for many reasons (which is why I got it first) I'm looking to get a 3DS down the line for games like Fire Emblem, SMT IV and Animal Crossing. And probably a DS XL to replace my old and battered DS Lite.


EDIT: PSN is down. :( And I just bought a $20 code to get some stuff on sale. I hope it goes back online before the store updates...
 
So apparently you can transfer your save file from the SS demo to the retail copy. To do this I must have both the demo and retail game on the Vita to transfer?

We are vitabros, we are open minded, unlike some extremist nintendo fanboys ;) you can buy what you want without our permission
but we'll kill you if you try to leave us muhahahaha

Yeah, it automatically imports your demo character (and you get a free offering) when you launch the full game.
 
Report back with you impressions at once!
I shall be sure to do so after I play it!

I haven't had my Tennis Video Game fix in a long time so I'm sure I'll love it.
Guacamelee is amazing.
Seconded.

It's one of my favorite indie titles, Drinkbox Studios really know how to make a great Metroidvania game.
And what do I do GAF? I bid on a 3ds. Am I a bad vitabro GAF?
Not at all, I have two 3DS's and one Vita. They're a great handheld combo to have.

Although I still love my Vita more <3

I'm prettysure you do unless you have Playstation Plus and can backup the save, otherwise if you delete the demo the save will go with it because it's (I'm prettysure anyway) tied to the demo until you transfer it over to the full game.
Just thinking back , Vita had an amazing launch line up of games. And Mark Cerny said the ps4's will be the biggest.
Yeah, for sure. It's great for someone like me who got one after the launch period. I'm still finding launch titles that I want to buy and play even a year after its launch.
 
I love my Vita more than my 3DS XL too.. the only problem is.. I'll prefer it black but that was the best value bundle at that time

thank you Amazon
179USD for White Vita + AC:Liberation + 4GB Mem Card + 3Months PlayStation+ + PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale (traded in AC:Liberation at Gamestop for 29USD or something... and bought a 32GB for like 80USD or something... 230USD for all of this is awesome!)

That was an amazing deal indeed! I really like the White Vita too, despite mine being the Black one.
 
I think I finally figured out what was bothering me about the white Vita. The gray analog sticks make the system look dirty.

Hatsune Miku Vita is still the best though.

Isn't that to make actual dirt less noticeable, though? :P

Also after a bunch of connectivity issues with my Vita I finally got the LBP "demo" downloaded and played through it. Seems like a fun sidescroller, but it was way too short to say anything. Though the controls felt super floaty.
Also, how much basic content is there beside all the user created stuff?
 
After these impressions in here I'm ordering Virtua Tennis 4 today, it's cheap anyway. And I absolutely ROCKED at the original Virtua Tennis on Dreamcast.

This Vita is such a nostalgia.

Marvel pinball eh? Hmm. How about Zen Pinball 2? Which one is a superior pinball game according to you folks?

I personally prefer Zen Pinball 2 by a wide margin to Pinball Arcade. The amount of detail that went into Zen's tables is just fantastic, there is a great variety of both inspired tables (Marvel, Starwars, etc) anf original tables.

The one downside to Zen is that its sold in pieces, you have the base, and then pretty much all the tables are sold as dlc though there is a ton of quality in them.

Really looking forward to Kickbeat from Zen aswell actually.

Its a feeling/factor that should be exploited more on the Vita. It would be an amazing Dreamcast on the go.

Good! More people need to support this so we can get a sequel! I need more VT in my life.

I shall be sure to do so after I play it!

I haven't had my Tennis Video Game fix in a long time so I'm sure I'll love it. Seconded.

Awesome! Looking forward to it!
 
So I've been uploading my save data to the PS Plus online storage, and my subscription is running out, and I was going to redownload it all but I can't redownload the saves for anything that's not currently on my Vita?
 
Wonder if he's worked with any of the bigger publishers/developers. I know his focus is on indie right now but I'd love (and I'm sure he will as well) for him to tackle bigger fishes.

No idea. However his next tweet, which was about his first tweet, was retweeted by Just Add Waters Stewart Gilray. No idea if that is because JAW were the ones involved or not. Probably just reading too much into it.

Also have asked him and Yoshida in the last few days about Netflix for the EU. Neither replied.

Pretty sure you need the bubble to download saves.

EDIT:
Just verified this with Disgaea 3. Here's the message you receive when trying to download a game's save file without the actual bubble on your Vita.

I am aware of JAW's current deal on Vita titles. I believe its a 3 game deal. One is already out. The next is Munch's .. and the 3rd is the announced 2D Abe game.
