Luckily for me I've never played Jak and Daxter, so yay.
I feel a lot better about skipping out on all these games since they're just remaking them anyway.
Modern batteries totally cannot be damaged by overcharging, that's something we engineered out years ago thank god.

Hmmmm.
My 1st Vita got battery-damaged so I am a bit paranoid about my 2nd Vita.
Anyways...

Finally bought and downloaded this from PSN. Just how the hell you should hold your Vita while playing this game anyways? Gahhhhhh.

It was more a proof of concept. Basically, they are bringing the Killzone IP to the Vita.
They didn't properly announce a Killzone game until Gamescom.
Speaking of which, I think Killzone is the only game from that initial reveal who's graphics didn't get downgraded upon release, lol. In fact they were upgraded. Pretty massively.
Observe: Top is KZ from NGP reveal, and bottom is KZ now (Apologize for the lower quality bottom screen; i couldn't find as good of a quality video):
All of the other games from the reveal were downgraded, primarily in the form of a resolution drop. Textures and graphical effects don't appear to have been downgraded.

What I do is I hold the vita in my right hand, with my thumb always on the O button, since it automatically activates fever. I use my index, ring and pinky to hold the vita in place and tap the back touch with my middle finger.
My left hand gets used for the front touch.

If it's not too much trouble, can you take a pic on your holding position?
I have been looking for the most comfortable way of holding the Vita while playing this game, and I haven't even touched anything but the easiest setting v__________v
Ugh, that is one of the main reasons preventing me from buying a Vita, and I even have Persona 4 Golden already. With the 32gb memory card the Vita is around 350, that is ridiculous.
No. It's worth having 32GB, but the card is not worth $100. However, I would recommend that you do go for at least 16GB. I now have two 16GB cards, a 4GB, and one 8GB, all of them filled, yet I buy almost every retail game in physical form. I buy A LOT OF GAMES. I have I think 60 (combined physical and digital) or so last I counted, and that's not including PSP, PS1, and minis.
Amaon has the 16GB card for $42 with shipping. It's not ideal, but it's probably as good as you'll get.
If you are going to get ps plus just get the 32gb and be done with it. Even with a 32gb im still juggling gamee. Keep an eye on amazon warehouse deals for a cheper one.

I bought it for about 80 dollars and it stung man :*(
Not worth it from a pure monetary point of view, but definitely essential if you plan to go all-digital or you want to have all your favorite titles always available on your system.

That's essentially what I do. Middle finger taps the back. The side of my thumb is holding down circle for fevers.
You could also do something like this.

I move my supporting fingers around when a position starts getting uncomfy. Point is, I hold with my right hand just so I can have circle down and I tap with my middle. You can also just hold with your left hand. You'd have to tap the top right corner for fever though.
I thought we are in the same team Seks-chan
the "no1curr about indies" alliance is no more.
Don't get me wrong, I love you Toto. But the bitching about you makes me scratch my head: There's an ignore feature, use it if you don't like him?
Wait what??? The circle button can be used to activate Fever?!! Oh gods I've had so much trouble activating Fever in the middle of a heavy chain, all this time I could have just pressed a button...
My copy of Shinovi Versus arrived today and I'm really enjoying what I've played so far. It actually addresses a lot of the problems I had with Dynasty Warriors, such as aerial recovery and dashes. I'm normally not into shameless fanservice like this, but I'll let it slide this one time.
Those physics.
Quick question guys. Travelling to the states this Thursday and I'm looking to get a PS Vita for some downtime while I'm over there. I'll be landing in Hawaii on the 20th and Seattle on the 26th...
Any current deals to pick one up on the cheap? I saw walmart had a deal for a 4gb card plus 1 year of PS+ for 300 but not sure. Some help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

PS+ basically invalidates 4GB card so you need to add say around 80-100 bucks more after purchase for a 32 GB. Just put that into consideration.

Unless you plan to go all physical, a 32GB card is a must. Get that, the Vita and PS+ and you will be set for quite some time. Also, try to find an offer on the Wi-Fi Vita, I don't live in the U.S. but with some luck, someone might point you to a nice deal where you can get it for around $200.
The primary Monster Hunter audience is on handhelds so you likly aren't competing against yourself. The primary audience for things like Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, Uncharted, Killzone, etc. are on home consoles. The NSMB comparison is poor because none of those games are ports.

Target has it for $199 with Lego Batman. No memory card iirc, though.Quick question guys. Travelling to the states this Thursday and I'm looking to get a PS Vita for some downtime while I'm over there. I'll be landing in Hawaii on the 20th and Seattle on the 26th...

Here's something I don't understand, no one has any problem calling Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time Sly 4, yet no one calls the Syphon Filter PSP entries SF4/5/6 and Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier Jak IV. I guess if it's not developed on PS3 it doesn't count ... That's an especially stupid opinion to hold given the quality of the SF PSP games, the story canon, and the fact that Omega Strain isn't a real entry.

Random question Vitabros; Im off to Thailand soon and I was wondering whether it would be worth my time trying to find a games shop somewhere? Ive had my eye on a couple of Japanese releases that I would hope would have an Asian version and it struck me that it would probably be cheaper to try to grab them while Im out there rather than import.
Any thoughts or local knowledge? Im in Bangkok for a couple of days and then just to the south, but I figure that Bangkok would be my best bet.

Hmmm..how do I use super-ignore? Does that block quoted posts?
For the Vita? There's Project Diva f but the PS3 version is being localized. Aside from that I can't think of any stand-out, import friendly Japanese only Vita titles.
I'm going to Tokyo next week. What are the best japanese-exclusive Vita games? I was thinking og Lord of the apocalypse, but it is being released in the west now, right?
No need for an asian version Also, no need to be inport friendly, I'll buy it mostly for fun and curiosity.

Project Diva f was one of them - PS3 release is of no real use to me as I don't have much gaming time at home versus two hours commuting a day I can use the Vita in. I was also thinking of keeping an eye out for Monster Monpiece and Hello Kitty to issho Block Crash V (don't judge me!
).Really just after an idea of whether looking for games like this in Bangkok would be viable, as well as any suggestions of where to look. Most of my own google searches have just resulted in finding out where I could get pirated PC games :-/

Kagura, One Piece Musou 2 and Diva are probably only ones import friendly rest seems to be very text heavy.

Ofcourse no crossbuy. Why do you even think they would do that?!

Marvelous ?
No idea WHO is doing it, the staff just announced Season 2 of the show for 2014 + Saitama Super Arena event + Love Live Vita game.
But Monster Hunter started out as a PS2 game. It only became a portable series later on. And re-used a heck of a lot of the assets from the PS2 release while doing so. In multiple releases... across PC and home consoles...
The primary audience is on home consoles for those games, but... so what? That doesn't mean they wouldn't pick up a portable game that offered something in their series, if it was compelling enough.
At the very beginnings, I mentioned games could either be ports, or continuations, or expansion packs.. the whole variety of options. The point was to make assets and an engine, and then run with it. NSMB appears to do exactly that.
NSMB is actually exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about though; Nintendo was able to the WiiU with a new Mario of considerable gameplay quality, that felt polished in many ways, because they were not re-inventing the wheel to make it. Started on a portable in 2006, continues to be successful with console releases across 2 home system generations, and even ones back on portable, into 2013 and beyond.
Yet you can be sure it helped system sales, and the Luigi expansion they're making now is a low cost idea that seems poised to offer high returns, and will hopefully expand the concept of what Digital services can do for the WiiU, as well, while also being offered as a retail version.
I agree with Nintendo's overall E3 sentiment; We'll pave the way, and once we prove there's a place for games and publishers on this system, those publishers will jump on board.
-----
To offer a Sony-centric example, lets say they made a 2.5D metroidvania-style God Of War on Vita, as a system exclusive.
It got people interested in this sub-series. 2 or 3 years later, they bring out a PS4 entry, as an expanded port, with 2 hours of new content, all the graphic upgrades one expects, plus owning this game either replicates the content for the old Vita version, or gives you a new character to play through a prequel-chapter on Vita, that bridges between the 2 games. Vita version unlocks a new character + some challenge maps on PS4 edition.
1 or 2 years later, the series returns to it's original home on Vita, fully new entry, better looking between the improvements learned on Vita software over the time, and able to use much of the higher-quality assets developed during the PS4's game. Much like Rocketbirds recently did with rewarding players of their PS3 full game or Demo, ownership of these previous 2 releases (Through proof on your PSN account/owning saves/whatever) gives exclusive bonuses.
You minimalize backlash by "this game switches system!" due to time spent between games, and rewarding people who have contributed to the series. You're not competing against yourself, because the releases have easily reached their majority of sales by the time the new game is out. Hopefully, more people go back and buy the old one (especially if it's reduced in price by that time on PSN), to unlock the content in the latest release.
---
In the end, I guess you can say I love my Vita exclusives, but I don't think it hurts a brand to have some intermediate releases between big sequels, especially because real great sequels take time. I'd be first in line to buy a Gravity Rush 1.5 (with all DLC + Sea Wasp backstory new content) on PS3 or 4, and would be right back for Day 1 of Gravity Rush 2 on Vita.
I wonder how a "The Last of Us" Vita exclusive story would have worked out, for instance...

As much as I love your concept, the simple fact is that what Nintendo push as a full retail game, people would barely justify as a £10 downloadable game on PS3. Sad but true :/
Oh, that sucks, but you should be able to adjust volume after pressing the PS button.
i know you guys always chew me a new one on here when i whine about all the indie games and no AAA games, etc
but id be much more open to giving some of these indie titles a shot if the prices werent so outrageous
they need to be impulse buys
why in the fuck is limbo 15 dollars? thats not only outrageous but nowhere near an impulse buy
you can download Asassins creed liberations right now for like 18, only 3 dollars more
if limbo was like 5 bucks i would buy it today just to play it again
i bought lone survivor on pc for like 2 bucks, i guarantee its going to be 10-15 in vita
makes no sense
its like a portability tax or something

I will suggest.. that you keep your money. Save up for upcoming releases lol.
It is a decent game, but given another chance, I would rather have spent my time on something else.
Limbo is a cross buy title. It's that price on the PS3, therefore it's that price on the Vita. Hopefully they'll give it a price drop soon.
As for comparing console indie title prices with the PC... that's not going to end up looking good for the console. ANY console, in most cases.
dumb question and ive had conflicting answers elsewhere so i'll ask here
first off im in the UK
if i have a American PSN account on my playstation 3, not the vita
can i download American PSP or VITA games to the ps3 and transfer them to the vita via the cable, and then play them on the uk account or would they need to check into a American account on the vita?

In order to play them on the Vita, you'd need to be on the US account.
well that price on the PS3 is a ripoff too then
