Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | July 2013 | Slow Month, Fast Games

You are correct but not completely, I wanted FuturLab to stop wasting their time on PSM (because..PSM is waste of time for everyone and their kittens) and make a native Vita game mostly a sequel to Velocity, I wasn't upset about Velocity Ultra first...then I saw the new artstyle and know it's nothing but that with trophies and touch gimmick and that was Ultra and it made me sad, then I realized that the minis version is actually give you more options to play and more options is better so I always recommend it over Velocity Ultra.
Aaah, okay.
It's good for me though, because I haven't checked out Velocity yet and I don't own a PS3 so it's perfect! I can see why someone in your position would avoid it though.

But if it is honestly an inferior copy why get it for the Vita?
It's not inferior, it's better in every way than the minis release.
Toto views it as inferior because he digs the art style of the original more and wants to play it on his TV.
The "Ultra" release contains the same game that Toto loves (with a different artstyle, to be sure) with more stuff, so it's not technically inferior unless you really dig the original art style.
I found the post I was wondering about BTW, but I won't link it here because I <3 Totos

I'd call a brand new game for the "Batman: Arkham" IP, "big". It falls in with Killzone and Tearaway as the big budget titles for the Fall.
Hope you're all going to grab Velocity Ultra!
Not if it costs me money.
Pretty much.
How is it inferior, except in Toto's warped reality?
Sure, it's Vita only... but it's designed for Vita this time around. It's got updated graphics, leaderboards, trophies, and new controls. Unless I wanted to play it with a PS3 controller or felt my eyes required bleeding, I can honestly see NO reason.
I wouldn't. Blackgate looks like a PSN/XBLA game.

Anyone try to Plat Persona 4 Golden? The Hardcore Risette Fan trophy seems a little hardcore.

So i had brought Escape Plan and it showed me a 1.4 GB Title Update. What the hell! The VITA memory is already expensive and i don't have space, now this TU demands 1.4 GB space =/
P.S I own 16 GB card but most of my game purchases are digital hence even 16 GB is small after PS+ -_-

i've always wanted escape plan but decided not to based on this thread. maybe ill just watch it on youtube or something instead
This piece of shit is better than a huge lump of gold, because you can carry the piece of shit ANYWHERE - the gold is too heavy! (I'm not saying Velocity original is shit, i'm just saying you're a master of spin!
)I got it on my first playthrough. It should come naturally if you, grind, use all characters, and do all optional dungeons.
Speaking of P4. I should get my second run going soon. Only 4-5 trophies away from the plat.
Well yeah, there are some random missions like "Go to this point". Hahahaha. Apart from that, the objective is merely to grow crops, harvest them, sell them, make teh monies and buy better machinery, moar fields, make more money.

so it's harvest moon without the BS?
I need to hire you as my public relations spokesman.
well... these days some XBLA are way bigger than many handheld games, see State of Decay, Blackgate while not exclusive but it look like it's a full featured game just like Castlevania: Mirror of Fate(and I think WB will just port it to XBLA/PSN later)

I played through with no intention of working towards a platinum and I got it by the end.

So how's Dokuro?
I just can't bring myself to buy Velocity Ultra. I love Futurlab's games, but I played the demo and it just felt too much like I was playing the minis game that it isn't worth it to me. I don't really care about trophies all that much, and I will never amount to anything on the leaderboards, so I think I'll just stick with the minis version.

Thats good to know, thanks.
I've never played Harvest Moon! But maybe?
Maybe this'll help - Here's a Farm Sim video from some beautiful sounding British guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WzXIwRqTq0

This is my first time playing Velocity and it's amazing. So glad I waited for the Vita version.
Game has decent reviews and some following here. Personally, I couldn't get into it after playing the first levels. I thought I would love it and was very disappointed.
It is difficult and can be frustrating. The music is monotone and the presentation is lacking.
Protip: stop listen to Totobeni.
I own both versions and Velocity Ultra is superior in nearly every aspect. I can see people prefering the pixel/retro look of the Minis version although the new art grows on you after several levels.
The controls of the Ultra version are much better and the leaderboards are a great addition.
I hope US gaffers will buy this game.

I just want more 2D beat em up on Vita... Its the perfect system for it! Especially with Online! Hell, Give me a 3D Beat Em Up...
The genre needs to be revived!
It's getting totally remade and getting relabeled as TBoI Rebirth. From what I can tell it will have all of the original + expansion stuff plus more, now that it's not going to be limited to running on Flash.

Eek, what terrible Vita sales this month. Mortal Kombat, DC Lego, and Tron?
Yipee :-|

if GT6 was on Vita
Sony know that all Vita owners are stuck in "Preparing to download...Please wait" screen, so they don't want to tease them with good stuff they can't get...
was this problem in the the European release too?

$5 for MK9 is a steal.

I'm not too happy about July's Plus games for NA. As other have stated, packaging PSP games for the Vita just isn't right. There are plenty of early games, and not the ones that are selling well. How about Katamari, or Dynasty, or even the horrendous Little Deviants? Granted....LD...I doubt I would even download that hot piece, but still. Also.....I love Metal Slug to death, so I can't feel too strongly about what I just said about this months selection....but..but...but still!!
I hope I'm not the only one addicted to the mobile store. On my way home from work, at traffic lights, I bought Velocity Ultra, then used my phones mobile hotspot to prep the download, so it would resume the INSTANT I got within range of my wifi.
. I've held off the mini for this version. Seeing EU get it so long ago, and for free even...really stings..but $7.50 is a more than fair asking price in my book.
20 min in to VU, I am very pleased, surprised, and obsessed. My fun is leveling up with each port. BAMF!

I also hope I'm not the only one that has done something like I just described.

That pinball heroes demo is awful. Why even bother making that game when we already have one amazing realistic pinball game and one amazing videogame-y pinball game?

Does the full release even have trophies?
Depends how good you are at the game!
With some practice, perfecting the levels will come to you eventually. That's the hardest part of the plat (i think)BomberMouse

No, we got:
- A really awful game with amazing tables
- A really amazing game with awful tables and physics
Farsight must be the most incompetent developer in the whole world.

It's a 2D game.
if GT6 was on Vita
What demon sorcery be that?! I'd LOVE a circuit racer on Vita that has 4 wheeled vehicles >_<
I have a simple test that I use to determine whether or not a platinum is hard to obtain: if I have the platinum, it's not hard to obtain.
I have the platinum
In all seriousness, it's not easy by any stretch but with a little practice learning the layouts it's not too tough at all. If I were into rating my platinum difficulties, and I'm not, I'd give it a 3/5.
I'm with you, i'm redownloading a capcom collection and i have dragon's crown preordered(my first and probably last preorder), but imo castle crasher is not that good, a new(exclusive) beat'em up would be better.VitaGAF has spoken. The bill has been defeated
