I know it doesn't exists on the vita! How is the game?

I thought it was a fun, but cut down Ratchet & Clank experience. Not a whole lot of plot, and recycled weapons, but the same solid R&C gameplay with co-op and a tower defense twist. I was satisfied given the low price.

 

[tamaster92]

Super crate box is already on PSM I thought?

 

[Mr.Ock]

Hmm, I must be missing something, right? I already have SCB on my Vita

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Isnt scb already on vita? Maybe they agreed to a deal making it free

 

[The_Monk]

Oh I did not knew that, sorry fellow GAFfers! I'm still a two month old Vita owner.

*runs*

EDIT: and it seems he was talking about the past. My bad.

He's talking about the past, comparing it to the 12 hour day he has done today.

Yep.

 

[Redhood]

Isnt scb already on vita? Maybe they agreed to a deal making it free

Native Vita version with trophies incoming.

Maybe a native Vita version similar to stuff like Velocity Ultra, and Zombie Tycoon 2 complete with Trophies and stuff?

 

[Kafel]

but we already have that game

 

[VanWinkle]

Okay, so we are getting:

Doki Doki Universe

In Doki-Doki Universe, you play the role of a robot whose model line is on the verge of being discontinued for its lack of humanity. In order to avoid this grim fate, you travel to a variety of unique planets and learn about their oddball inhabitants by speaking and interacting with them. How you interact with them is entirely up to you – you can help solve their problems, participate in games and competitions, or antagonize them to your heart's content. These interactions are handled via a growing library of items you find and collect, each of which has its own unique characteristics similar to Scribblenauts.

Counterspy

Counterspy puts players in control of their own spy agency, which has been tasked with keeping the U.S. and USSR from engaging in all-out warfare; the Doomsday Clock provides players with a constant reminder of how close they are to nuclear Armageddon. Luckily, players can roll back the clock by completing missions, which take place in procedurally generated levels, featuring different routes, items, and enemy configurations every time you play. However, missions play out in real-time, so those extra few minutes you send searching for items and upgrades bring you that much closer to certain death. The early demo we saw featured a mix of stealth and action, with the player able to sneak up and assassinate enemies from behind, or hide behind cover to pick off guards with a few well-placed pistol shots.

and

Hohokum

Santa Monica Studio is no stranger to working with talented indie developers, having helped bring games like Sound Shapes, The Unfinished Swan, and Journey to Sony's platforms. Its latest collaboration is Hohokum, a colorful and creative 2D sandbox game from developer Honeyslug and artist/designer Richard Hogg.

In Hohokum, players control a floating snakelike creature called The Long Mover, exploring a variety of unique, hand-made environments as they help the world's inhabitants, solve puzzles, and just have fun. Santa Monica Studio's Nathan Gary saw an early demo of Hohokum at IndieCade back in 2011, and was so impressed that he raved about the game to the rest of his team. After a few conversations with Honeyslug, the two companies began their collaboration and have been working together ever since.

Not bad.

 

[erpg]

but we already have that game

Well, a couple countries do.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

I want Counterspy just all over me.

 

[corrosivefrost]

I know it doesn't exists on the vita! How is the game?

Well, PW HD doesn't exist on Vita. PW does, it's available in the store for a mere $9.xx this week and it transfars save data with the PS3 copy!

From what I played of PW HD, I liked it.
I stopped playing when my PS3 disc drive died.
I never picked it back up because I wanted to play it some on my Vita if possible... with the recent addition of the game to the Vita store and the ability to transfar (I bought it before the sale :\), I'm stoked to get a bit further soon.

 

[Redhood]

Bought the Ratchet & Clank FFA. I better get that deadlocked now!

 

[QP3]

Just finished P4G. Great game. Can't be recommended enough.

That said, any recommendations on which I should tackle next: Vagrant Story, FF7, or Wild Arms?

If you liked the "time management sim" aspect of P4G you should probably take a look at Atelier Totori Plus.

Hmm, I don't know much about it. I was hoping to tackle one of the games I listed, as I already have them purchased and in my backlog

 

[Takao]

No more Need for Speed on Vita. Welp.

 

[Pachimari]

No more Need for Speed on Vita. Welp.

Why? It sold poorly?

 

[antibolo]

Did you already finish FF7 in the past or is it going to be your first time?

 

[Leona Lewis]

Why? It sold poorly?

It's EA. Considering the year they've had, it's a minor miracle that we're even getting FIFA '14.

 

[Takao]

Why? It sold poorly?

I don't know. EA detailed their releases this year and the only one with a "Handheld/Mobile" entry was FIFA.

 

[QP3]

First time. Picked it up during the FF sale. Never owned a playstation before my vita!

Famous told us it did "OK"

 

[Skyzard]

Hmm... I don't remember them mentioning Fifa 2014 although I'm glad it's coming but that list in that thread was titled "Announced titles" so perhaps it's because the next NFS isn't announced or as expected? Or did I miss it?

 

[garath]

First time. Picked it up during the FF sale. Never owned a playstation before my vita!

Oooh.. play FF7 next then.

 

[mauaus]

Oooh.. play FF7 next then.

OOOOOOOOOOOR PLay Breath of Fire IV

 

[Takao]

Famous told us it did "OK"

Evidently not enough for EA. It's pretty sad too since Sony spent some money marketing FIFA, Madden, and Need For Speed on the platform yet only one is continuing.

 

[VanWinkle]

I think it's still too early to tell from that slide whether it will be or not. I'm not COUNTING on it coming, but it's better we wait until the game is at least announced. In the November '12 NPD it outsold the PC retail version which is bound to account for something right? Yes, PC games are most likely majority sold digitally, but still.

I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for this, but I don't recommend playing FFVII for the first time now. The game was revolutionary back then, but it has NOT aged well at all. If you want good classic Final Fantasy, play IV or VI.

 

[erpg]

Blog post isn't up yet, but the PSN top 10 was updated:

1. Guacamelee!
2. Soul Sacrifice

I won't hate, but I'll disagree. I started playing through it again after the Final Fantasy sale on my vita and I feel like it's aged very well. It plays well and the gameplay is still there. Graphics aren't half bad on the vita's screen at all.

If there's another EA racing game on Vita it will be the next Criterion game made on their engine. This year is turd-NFS year, and that will likely run on Frostbite.

Came here for guidance, leave more lost

Seriously though thanks for the suggestions! I want to play FF7 because I feel it is such a classic....kind of want to beat it in anticipation for my FFX HD playthrough.

I second this motion. I played FF7 for the first time on Vita and for me it was my worst experience in gaming thus far. Apparantly some people still like it but I find it to be absolutely atrocious.

 

[goddammitwalter]

Just got my first platinum with Gravity Rush. What a game!!! now i have to delete it and download VLR. (damn u 4 gb memory card) And Sine Mora tomorrow Btw how can i see total playing time of a game?

Even an iOS port isn't on that slide which is kinda surprising.

 

[Skyzard]

Gravity Rush tracks time-played via saves I think but not each game has automatic stats for total time played, which is a real shame. I'd really love a logbook type app.

Did you play on mute?

Well I mean I didn't find the music to be particularly fantastic even if it wasn't bad. The battle theme was ok but after hearing it for the 100th time you get a little sick of it. Honestly I feel bad that I may have discouraged someone from playing the game even if I hated it: there are obviously people who do like it so it's probably still worth your time.
Edit: To note, I don't just hate PS1 games or anything. I played SotN and MGS1 for the first time on the Vita and both are still fantastic and hold up remarkably well.

How can something so simple like this are not avaible? Well been playing like crazy for 3 days so its about 30ish hours i guess... Sucked so bad

might i suggest FF9 over 7??

Haha seriously? The Run was better than either of the Criterion games. Plus, engine clearly doesn't matter as The Run was Frostbite 2 as well, but was on Wii and 3DS.

 

[QP3]

You may!

Are the different in terms of actual gameplay, or is the biggest difference thee graphics?

I hope Sony convinces naughty dog to add remote play to the Last of Us

Awesome, its great to see stuff like Guaca,Dragon Fantasy, Machinarium, and TWA on there. SS is just fantastic.

Bring me all them indies Sony, all of them.

 

[Skyzard]

^Ditto + Urban Trial Freestyle

Are we sure Fifa 2014 is coming to Vita, it might have been Handheld/mobile as a general category and only referring to the mobile ap? I know we got 2 games already, Fifa 13 got slagged and they did the amazon promotion...not sure if that is good or not. But Wii U got a version last year and not this...?

How can something so simple like this are not avaible? Well been playing like crazy for 3 days so its about 30ish hours i guess... Sucked so bad

I can only think that parents in Japan might start inspecting their kids playtime on consoles. Otherwise what the hell.

Hehe I asked ND on their Twitter but you're most likely right.
