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

I don't care about GamesCom and TGS - Sony need to deliver big time tomorrow or else I truly believe it's not an important priority for them and it'll be a stupid indie machine.

I just want some top class games. :(

It actually already got my most asked for games in MGS, Persona, Lumines, Final Fantasy X and Jak and Daxter but give me someone of online shooter (Killzone I know), a Gran Turismo, a game like Crisis Core - actually I don't know way I want. Just more top retail games. A vibrant line-up of software.

ONOES STUPID INDIE MACHINEE!!!1
STUPID, STOEEEEPIT, STOOOOOOOOOEEEEPIID!!

Indie:
Independent video games (commonly referred to as indie games) are video games created by individuals or small teams generally without video game publisher financial support.

Some indie-developers, for reference:
- Cing (Another Code, Hotel Dusk)
- Eurocom (Batman Begins, GoldenEye, Sphinx)
- Grasshopper (Killer7, No More Heroes)
- Insomniac (Ratchet & Clank, Resistance, Spyro)
- WayForward (Contra4, Ducktales)
- Level - 5 (Layton, Ni no Kuni, DQ)
etc etc..

I HATE INDIE Toe!
THEyr Stoeeeepit!
IT'S ALL SHIIIIITTT

*ahem* Carry on!
 
Couple hours. Good game and great puzzles compared to the games in the same genre, but it's way too expensive for what it is.

EDIT: strike that, took me 4 hours.

That's fine with me. I hate it when games are super long. :D

You took it way too serious dude.
 
I'm not a big fan of $400 accessories.

Well, I am just not as insecure as some people are about the games coming for the system. I am happy we're getting Tearaway, Killzone and Rayman Legends. I certainly expect we'll see more games like that, but at the same time I think good remote play for PS4 will help bring more attention to the Vita and make it easier for people to get one.

And Takao, it's not $399. If you only use it for remote play, I doubt it would be even half that, as memory card is pretty much optional in that case.
 
i expect Dragons Dogma trailer
Dragon's Dogma Quest? Since it's a 2D f2p game, I'd expect it to be relegated to a sizzle reel. :/

Hoping we see footage from the Batman Arkham Vita game either during the conference or this week. I wanna see that Bluepoint engine in action.

i wish batman wasnt 2d tbh
 
I think the Vita will get an early spot at the E3 Press Conference. Maybe 10-15 minutes to recap what's coming, announce some bundles, announce a price drop maybe, and then reveal 2-3 games that are coming as well. My prediction is a 2K game let's say Borderlands 2, Bend Studio's new game, and one other big 3rd party reveal. Perhaps the one Shahid was mentioning, though because he is from SCEE it is hard to say if that will happen today or at Gamescom. Also I expect a montage to show the slate of games coming this year including indie games, and we will get indie game announcements. I'm going with Fez and Dust: An Elysian Tale.

Doing this early will capture the most viewers and allow them to focus on their PS4 messaging for the remainder of the show.
 
Live demos? No thanks.

These are always so awkward with the camera recording people playing the game from behind.

Announcement trailers are better and shorter. But please, not another 60 second announcement with 15 second of gameplay (AC:Liberation)
 
This is it, today is our day, we our off to great places! We are off and away! Stand strony VitaBros for I believe in the the holy Sorny trinity, and I do believe they will save us from the pits of darkness!! Many Vita announcements will be had this day!
 
My wish is GTA San Andreas Story, but it's a impossible dream they said.

Ever since the travesty that was Chinatown I've been too scared to wish for another handheld GTA! A GTA:SAS in the style of the other stories would blow my mind however.
 
Thinking of picking up some PSP games in the EU sale.

The two GoW games worth playing? I have every GoW game except the PSP ones, but I haven't finished any of them?

£5 for both seems too good to miss.

I liked both. Both are better than GOW1 imo. If you only end up getting one then get Ghost of Sparta though.
 
Wonder what the chances of an Angry Birds port of some sort on Vita being at E3. Random want perhaps but I'd really like AB Trilogy on Vita and Activision ARE going to be at Sony's conference so there's probably some small chance, right?

Would also not be surprised to see that F2P Tekken end up on Vita as well as PS3.

For some reason I also don't think we'll see any new first party stuff announced. Got a funny feeling Bend may be retasked to PS4 development or some shit.
 
Eurogamer has put up something about OlliOlli and its devs if anyone fancies a pre-E3 read.

"The Vita's like the hipster of the games world," roll7's creative director John Ribbins tells me over a mug of tea served in a corner of a scruffy South East London studio. "There's not many of them, people think they're a bit weird, but they've got cool stuff. It just doesn't have a beard, and doesn't ride a Penny Farthing."

lol.
 
Siren: Shibito Unleashed portable or Toyama should just go home.
Well, Toyama keeps saying "Please wait" when asked about Gravity Rush 2 on twitter, so I wouldn't hold my breath for more Siren if I were you...

Technically Angry Birds is already playable on Vita as Mini. Dunno if a new version will have much of an impact on the Vita, though it was apparently the best selling Mini of all time.

For some reason I also don't think we'll see any new first party stuff announced. Got a funny feeling Bend may be retasked to PS4 development or some shit.
Why? Last we heard they were hiring for a new Vita game.
 
"Sony fund us, and we keep the IP. It's very fair, and if we port it to other platforms it's even fairer.

What a waste, put that money into better things, Sony.

sadly that Olli game is just a reflex based game and require no skills whatsoever (no complex levels) going with the video posted here before, it's don't look to offer anything that the crappy endless running/jumping games don't have.

Well, Toyama keeps saying "Please wait" when asked about Gravity Rush 2 on twitter, so I wouldn't hold my breath for more Siren if I were you...

one of the greatest horror games creators working on floating moe simulations just make me sad.

That's my biggest fear for E3 actually. Sony please don't... Just don't
 
it's today!!! i haven't let myself get hyped about potential vita announcements (because of fear of disappointment) but fuck it. i hope we hear some good news about the vita today that isn't just remote play (although, i am looking forward to hearing more about that too).
 
zero hype for the Vita at E3..
just feel a sense of serenity :O

I love my Vita no matter what happens (esp now that my 3DS XL is dead.. with some weird CPU signal issues that require 100USD to fix since I'm not in the US) sheesh
 
Even though I don't have time to watch the conference (let alone staying up until 4-5 am), I wouldn't have made time to watch it anyways. I really don't understand why you guys do this to yourselves. Always falling for all the hype and bullshit that is vague in itself. There's always a catch with all these cryptic comments that are meant to hype you.

I'll enjoy sleeping fully and waking up the next day to see all the tears about no AAA vita games. Or maybe some of all that hype is true and it delivers (lol). I'd love for that to be the case, FF Type 0 :(

i belieb in Shahid
 
Today is judgement day for that Shahid guy... Hopefully he's not full of shit.

no its really not, he never said the game that him and Clark were talking about would be at E3. He said he "could not say" when it would be announced.

The "big" game was not signed by him, and I think Shahids work will be more prevelant at gamescom anyway.
 
one of the greatest horror games creators working on floating moe simulations just make me sad.

This blew my mind as well, but apparently Gravity Rush is the game he had in mind even before starting works on Silent Hill and being hired by Konami. He then was "forced" by Konami to develop an answer to Resident Evil and ended up being stuck in the horror genre even after leaving Konami and joining Sony. Finally after all those years Sony allowed the budget so he could work on his original idea of a game based on Newton's law, except Sony needed a KA for Vita and moved his project on a handheld. LOL, I bet he was pissed as fuck.

I'd love to see him on a new siren or new horror franchise but I wish he had way more time to work on it, like he had in the years between Silent Hill and Siren (they show).
 
Well looks like it's almost time for E3 Vita-GAF.
Fingers crossed we get lots of Vita love this time! (or at least more than last year, which I don't think is too hard to top)
This is all I need as a Vita announcement from E3 this year. Anything else is a bonus.
Ditto! I'm hoping for the best, but Gravity Rush 2 being announced would leave me happy.
 
Gonna play a little game to see how much hype I will have for Vita after all the E3 announcements.

Current Vita Hype level:450.
Hype value will change according to these announcements:


Hype +15 per item:
Rayman Legends, Batman Arkham origins spin-off, Killzone Merc footage, Tearaway footage, Jak & Dax HD, FFX/X-2 HD, Indies, new services.

Hype +300 per item:
Panopticon western announcement, Stick it to the man shown off on vita, Late ports or HD collections of games that interested me at some point, Larger Memory cards, Sahid walks on stage, Something new that doesn't interest me but seems good.

Hype +1000 per item:
Gravity Rush sequel, Something new and adventurey, Something new and survival horrorey, Rain and Puppeteer coming over, HDMI-out device, Something new and unexpected that I would like.

Hype -700 per item:
Vita ONLY gets a sizzle reel and indie stuff. Device gets touted as a remote play device more than twice or longer than 2minutes, New Vita model with HDMI-Out, Call of Duty, PSP games, PS Mobile, Just plain stupid/bad looking games, non-native res announcements (unless mentioned in another category) .

Instant Death
There is no Vita presence. Last Gaurdian is a Vita title. FFXIIIversus too. MGS game. TLOU port.

Bonus +20 or -20 for random noteworthy positive and negative news respectively.

Looking forward to a good score this year :)
