Gets amazing at the 1:30 mark. LOL!
Do you have to play it with the touch screen?

Yes, I thought it wouldn't be ideal either, but having 100% the game I can't imagine how it will control with otherwise.
Do you use your finger or do you have a stylus?

Dear takao
can you please be more explicit when you post? Not everyone can always click your links and not everyone can always understand what you want to say(in fact often there's a gaffer asking for explanations).
A little more explicit posts would be appreciated, i hope you'll understand.

PS:
i don't like the graphics' style, i vastly prefer sprites, but i guess that sprites were a legacy of the psp/ps2 era.

Now i;m excited.
i assume i still need a vita dev kit though? ahaha - excitment back down.
You can talk.to Sonys third party relations people, Nick Suttner, Shahid, etc. They can probably help you with that if you wanted.
I absolutely hate skins.
I had pre-ordered P4G to get the skin and was super stoked about it. Then I tried applying it, failed miserably (misaligned, bubbles everywhere), tried again multiple times, each attempt being worse than the previous because it was increasingly accumulating dust particles, until I just gave up, tore it up in a fit of anger and threw the fucking thing in the trash.
Never going to try applying a skin on anything ever again.

A normal vita is enough, there's no even the real need for a vita since there's a simulator on pc to test your games.
Advice: apply with the screen on... I should have moved it up half a mm. Damnit.
What?? No, the whole point of PSM is that you *don't* need a devkit to develop games (and can deploy to any PSM-certified phone or tablet as well).
Yeah its just not allowed on GAF. I would edit it so you don't get banned.
Okay gotcha. I admit, that last paragraph was tacked on. I mostly wrote the review on my Lumia 920 but I couldn't embed the pictures. I need a native 4shared app for the thing.

I edited the word out in my response, so no worries.
You know what I love the most? SkyDrive. I take a picture and it's already on my Laptop when I check.
Thanks!

And a release in the west for a Super Robot Wars game won't happen anyway...
The only thing that I get somewhat hopeful with Japan-only releases is if that means more Vita sales in Japan. If that happens then maybe that means more releases in the West (maybe).
EDIT: Oh, and thanks Takao for rubbing that salt...
I ordered a white skin from decalgirl and it was one of the worst experiences applying a skin, ever! It actually chipped some of the paint off my Vita when I removed the skin because of it's difficult application. However, with that said, that skin you applied is beautiful and almost makes me want to reorder just to give it another try.
I have two advices if you try again, I know I said these before but I cannot stress just how important it is: use the front-camera as reference, and make sure it's perfectly in around it or a little higher (a little lower is bad) -- and set your Vita to have a white or bright background.
The flimsy top part of the front is by far the hardest bit.
I'm actually going to smoothen out the skin near the grip 'cause it's a tad bit uncomfortable. But I LOVE the matte finish. I'd almost say just get a dark matte skin and be done with it.
That's another issue I had. I went with the glossy finish and it looked horrible, so matte is definitely the way I'd go this time.
Why would you pick glossy?! =(
Why is anything that we touch glossy?
GF IS ASLEEP! Time to make video!
I thought it would look better, but clearly I was wrong lol.

That sucks.Futurlab was tweeting that Velocity ultra is still in testing and will probably not release as planned
Robert from Zeboyd Games is tweeting to Shane that Defender's Quest should come to Vita/PS3. Never played it so no opinion but still, haha.
Is there any app or game for Vita where I can play Chess??
Clubhouse Games was a GODSEND for NDS and should be a staple for anyone's library when partaking in the system. Is there an equivalent for Vita?
I really like how the Vita has been come this wideopen platform for budding game developers. Its really cool to see such great freaking hardware accepting anyone who wants to put their time into putting out some good product. That alone makes it the best system to release in modern times....
If I ever get fortunate enough to work on a game in my future, you bet your ass that It'll be coming to Vita.

he's quoted in the trailer for the game too. either he really liked it or someone he knows made it or both. I guess I should try the pc demo
Pure Chess is on PSN, I have not played it though so I cant speak to its quality.
Pure Chess for Vita?
Pure Chess. paging for TOMA!

Sorry, Soul Sacrifice had my attention held so I couldn't come in here and bitch.
Fucking SCEA.
SCEE gets Sine Mora and Velocity Ultra and here in the US we get Kyntt Underground, Germinator, and another pinball game?
Dammit.

I received my skin promptly from the USA (I live in the UK)and was immediately blown away at the quality of its packaging. Unfortunately however, it was difficult to apply. So difficult in fact, that it is impossible to apply in such a way that if Sony had used a machine to put it on before shipping the batch of Vita to the shelves, we would question that they had used a machine at all.
I had bought the skin mostly because:
- It's kawaii (and my GF loves kawaii things).
- I'm sick of having to clean smudges off of the glossy screen.
The problem with applying it is that, while the material is high quality, it doesn't exactly fit the Vita. Using the front camera as reference, it gets stretched very easily and forces you to reapply certain areas multiple times. Oh, remember if you will, to remove the speaker details from the skin (I had to use a pen). Finally, while it looks better with them on, I left out the grip parts because it feels better without.
The skin feels great and looks better than the smudges anyway. It's quite cool that they give you a free wallpaper. It's kinda lame you have to give them your email address (and sign into it on the Vita). I used my Gmail account because adding outlook/hotmail is pretty long winded since you have to add it as an Other account.

scratch that now it's just stuck at a black screen.

While Blazblue is a solid game, it's a launch title that has been on sale for <$15 digitally multiple times in the past couple of months. Add in the fact that it's 3.1gb (everyone loves bitching about file sizes because memory isn't cheap), it's old (CP will be out in 5 months, at least on PS3), AND the fact that it's the 3rd fighter given away in as many months (Tekken 5 PSP, Soul Calibur Broken Destiny) and it's not really a "good" PS+ game, mostly because those who would really be interested in it will most likely have purchased it by now and those who are casual about it already have at least 2 more games to be playing around with casually. Will a person with a 4 or 8gb card really clear over 3gb of space to make a home for a game that isn't a top name like a Gravity Rush or an Uncharted? Hell, I own the game and could sell my cart version if I wanted to, but I don't have 3.1gb of space on 32gb card for it and I actually LIKE the game. So yeah, seems like a pretty poor choice from where I'm sitting.
Also, EU seems to be giving away the top shelf indie games while US is getting the indie games that, in the very least, I find extremely boring and uninteresting. Instead of getting anything of value for Vita out of plus this month, I'll be adding another 3 titles to my download history (which needs to be sortable, Sony) and then throwing another $15 at Sony just so I can play Velocity Ultra while EU is getting it free.
Add in the discrepancies from the PS3 side (it took us how many more months of PS3 schlock like Anomaly War Zone before we finally got something good that was given to EU [Sleeping Dogs])... and it just makes me wish for the 1000x that I had made my primary account my UK account back in 2007.

Clearly they delayed velocity ultra to add Carl's name in the credits
Am I the only one who prefers PS+ discounts to the free games?
I'm not fond of relying on a subscription to enjoy things that I want to play whenever I like, especially when said subscription has screwed me over in the past... For example, I had to buy Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown twice because of some PlayStation Plus-related interference, and customer support completely refused to acknowledge the problem. A lot of gamers this generation have been conditioned to play things once and then move on, so I wonder how widespread this issue actually is.
That brings me to another con: getting locked out of purchasing things simply because they're currently being offered for free is pretty stupid, too. I have to wait for my subscription to lapse in order to buy them? Really? And be forced to redownload all those 20gb games once I renew? Sometimes people just want digital versions of games, regardless of their price, so this is yet another thing to contend with.
I don't even touch the majority of free games we end up getting (usually because they're awful or I have no interest in them), so they barely function any differently from PS+ full game trials to me... I think free games are a great idea for people who like them, but, for me, the service could stand to be catered a little more toward those who may not appreciate the way things are currently being handled. Whenever I know a PSN game is coming, I dread it launching free with PS+. I would love if there were two kinds of PS+: one that favored game discounts and one that favored free games. Honestly, though, there is no reason it has to be one or the other.
It's the same kind of Sony stupidity we have with backing up Vita saves right now. Heaven forbid you don't have a PS+ account and need to copy over your entire game file just to back up two measly megabytes worth of content.

Velocity Ultra better not be $15, it's a port of a $4 PSP game.

i'm with you. i really hope they allow us to buy games if they're on sale when we already have a free plus version. i hate that you're locked out. i have had a plus subscription since it started and have missed out on games that i'd like to own but have tied to the subscription.
