Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | June 2013 | Late Ports and Late Threads

Does anyone know if you need multiple Vita systems for the ad-hoc trophies on New Paint Park?

edit: ahh top of the page. buy Muramasa later this month!
 
Next month's thread name should be Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | July 2013 | Toto's Friend Network. (It's a bit of a shame it wasn't used for this month)
 
Wow... Limbo looks AWESOME on PS Vita... perfect plattform for it.

I'm fine with indie titles coming to the vita, but I just have no interest in Limbo or Machinarium. They just aren't my style of games. Still waiting on Velocity Ultra HD...
 
Yay! New thread! Nice.

Question: Any guesses as to what we might get for Vita on PS+ next week as E3 perks? I was already hoping VLR but we already got that. Perhaps Rayman Origins? MGS HD Collection? Lumines? Finally a Crunchy Roll app??

Maybe I should start tallying up every time someone suggests using Toto in a thread name.
 
Any Gaffers want to add me on the Toro app?

I think if we follow each other on Twitter we can add each other directly instead of adding randoms on PSN.
 
It's basically a breakout clone made in MS Paint.

It has a interesting OST to say the least though. http://havishamone.netai.net/music.php

From that website


"VitaBounce! More magicaller than your average game."

Jesus that music...

This game seems like something I'd make with my drunken fraternity brothers.

What?
I have to disagree with this wholeheartedly.
I've played a lot of shooters in the PS3/360 gen and the Valve games do not really stand out for me, let alone live up to the hype.

I love a LOT of modern shooters, but Valve games are top tier. There is no denying that. The love that goes into them is really something else. Not to mention that pretty much all of them somehow have an insane replay value and are better the second time around.

Anyway there's a new app or something out, right? What's it good for?
 
I'm still experiencing the freeze/hang at "preparing to download" weeks later.

I can't explain why this isn't solved without attributing incompetence or a complete lack of engagement from Sony.

I'm denying it right here. Valve makes good games that people sometimes mistakenly revere as legendary. There's not a single valve game I've played that I would consider "classic" or must play.
And I disagree on the replay value too -- I at least consider the Portal games as well as Half-Life 2 and it's episodes to be one and done. Not interested in touching them ever again.
The L4D series and TF2 -- well, they're designed to be replayable, since they're multiplayer focused. Still, nothing that gripped me with them, either. I got bored of L4D when it launched on 360 within a week and sold it. I tried L4D2 and hated the changes. So yeah, I don't think Valve games live up to the billing that everyone else seems to think they should have. Are they bad games? No. Just not as good as advertised on forums/reviews/whatever when it comes to my opinion. :P

I assume you've tried to get in touch with them somehow? A few people on here have complained about it, but I've had no issues whatsoever. :(
 
14.99 for Limbo?

GTFO sony/playdead

Limbo was barely worth 9.99 when it came out several YEARS ago, but 14.99 still all this time later?

your insane

should be 4.99 tops IMO

not that i care, i own it on steam and only payed 2 bucks for it but im speaking to others, dont support this overpricing of games

Agree to disagree then. I'd say Half-Life 1 is a pretty classic game, and for good reason.

Console games. Steam is kind of the same as PSN (except with more frequent and larger price cuts), but I don't think we'll ever reach the point of getting games as cheap as they are on PC until other retailers are allowed to sell PSN game keys like GMG or Amazon.

Limbo was always overpriced though, the game isn't really spectacular. It just had a standout art style that attracted people to it. Also, it's really short. Not worth the $15 at all.

Well, to be fair puzzles are really good. Surprisingly, since nowadays all games with puzzles are either too easy or badly designed. But yeah, I can agree that 15$ is definitely too much, I think I payed 5$ for it or something on Steam or even some cheaper bundle.

Yes, and it isn't only a few. Search for "preparing to download vita" on Google and there are numerous reports since mid April

I didn't mean to trivialise the issue, it's just I've only seen a few people mention it on here.

With that said, have you actually logged it with Sony support? I've had a gander through the thread on the official US forums and there's a lot of "me too" or people suggesting workarounds... but I couldn't see anyone that had gone to Sony (officially logging an incident, rather than a quick question on Twitter for example) for a response.

I've had to deal with their support in the UK on a few occasions and they've always been quick to respond, and pretty helpful.
 
Ouch, Toro's kind of steep if you're interested in the shop stuff. Most of it is paid-only, $5 for a starter pack.

Well, steep for me with my addiction for things 'limited edition'. The Beginner Packs do say 'plus limited outfit' though it doesn't mention if the outfit will ever become unavailable or when..
 
Stick it to the man looks really interesting! I'm hoping to get more platformers on this little guy. Rayman Origins re-awoken my love for them. Although..I still don't get the title of that game. They never tell you where Rayman originates from.

I think it was meant as a "return to his roots/origins" maybe. As in being a 2D platformer, not 3D platformer as Rayman 2/3 had become?
 
Guys, was just checking on Gravity Rush on the EU store. It's 14,99€ right now.

Not absolutely sure but wasn't it 34,99 like forever? Silent Price-drop? Or some sale I didn't hear about?

I know it's free on PS Plus but one should support this awesome game. Yesterday my Plus ran out, bought Thomas, Mutant Blops and Velocity today because they are awesome!

Pretty tempted to buy GR now, wanted it retail, but cant find it this cheap.

Can anyone confirm the silent pricedrop?

So how did Limbo turn out guys? Have It on 360 but would not mind playing again on Vita.

Also Soul Sacrifice is really good.
 
So Target has 8 GB cards for $25, and I was thinking about getting one to supplement my 16GB card. How do multiple cards work with the system under one account? I've read that it might reset my bubbles, and I really don't want to have to reorganize my screens every time I switch cards.
 
I want to join the vita party. What is the current best bundle? Or should I just get a used thing off of ebay? I should probably waint until after E3 for a price drop? Am I a crazy person?
 
Better off getting the free version and supporting it by spending that on the DLC instead, I feel.

Why? Because the developers get more money for the Dlcs? Serious question.

Played it a few month ago, found it to be awesome. So no, I think I will buy the main game. Owning the military Dlc anyway, not interested in the other 2.



Can anyone confirm the silent pricedrop for Gravity Rush to 14,99? Or is it this price for longer? Would pitch that info to psnstores, they do a weekly nice pricedrop/deals roundup.
 
So Mortimer told us the Vita will be getting a much requested port, and in the rumour tracking thread he was asked if the Vita was getting 'something from 2K' and he said yeah.

...So, XCOM? What else could it be?

Although, of course, he could be referring to different games.

Civilization? I would play the shit out of an optimized handheld version.

XCOM seems the most likely though, it's already bound to iOS, very little effort to port I guess.

he said it was highly requested last fall, XCOM port talk with that dev was like two months or so ago.

so most likely it's Borderlands 2.


on a kinda related note, the other leaker who said Demon's Souls 2 didn't really said it's for PS4.

You know you get the Vita version for free if you already own the PS3 version, right? And vice versa?

$14.99=two games, two sets of trophies, etc.
 
Oh, yeah, of course.

I have no idea how they'd fit that on a Vita cart. There would probably have to be some sacrifices. :(

Granted, I don't think we'll get it (although I'd like it), but it's only 5.3GB on PS3. It's not too crazy to assume that, with a smaller resolution and smaller textures/geometry, it would make it under 4GB.

I just checked myself and, yeah, that is surprisingly small. It's starting to look good, haha.

Hopefully, if it does happen, it's a complete GOTY edition.

Wait till after e3 in case of price drop and or revised model
