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

Nah. Think I'll just take a cue from SmokyDave and many others: drop the thread from my subscriptions.

Don't, man! Even if I don't post much here, I think it's one of the best threads on GAF. A bunch of very supportive and positive thinking guys writes here, Totobeni notwithstanding
 
Maybe not the right thread to ask but if there's a price drop on the system it'll probably be at Gamescom, right? I've been wanting one more and more, especially for the PS+ stuff. My birthday is right after that so I was thinking of using whatever I money get towards it.

A trusted insider said that the price drop for Vita would be announced on Gamescom. And since it is just over a month away, it shouldn't be that hard to wait.

Hopefully they also make an announcement about those memory cards...
 
About 4 years probably.

Probably not, Phish is friends with Shahid for one. The other is that Phish already said Fez is coming, we just need to wait for the blogpost. They have tons of indies lined up, there is no doubt about that, guessing they are waiting to push some out before making more announcements.

Honestly i could see there being no price drop to get people to buy one with/for ps4. At the same time i could see a 50$ drop and a sort of relaunch along with ps4. Odds are youll just see more bundles though with no drop. Plenty of good deals around though if you look.
 
Just recived a one month free trial for PS+, any advice on witch games to buy with it?

All of the free shit for PS3/PSVita, and use the discount to snatch any games you've been eyeing. The free games are a great opportunity to try out new genres you'd normally avoid.

is zhp the best rogue to play on vita?

I think Class of Heroes 2 would be better, but ZHP is the best if you prefer a 3rd person view. ZHP's main strength is the goofy story.

I tought Mortal Kombat had a discount, will get silent hill witch is a great deal.
 
How big of a download will Dragon's Crown be?
If it's 650-mb or less, I'll download it.

we don't know, but i wouldn't remotely be surprised if it was closer to the 3gb game size limit than 650mb. The game seems to have a ton to it, and will have dual audio which will likely make it bigger than smaller.

Zettai Hero is pretty good (it is a PSP game tho) it is roguelike and SRPG hybrid (action with no menus, one character, fast turns) with tons of customization, randomly generated dungeons and a hilarious story.

PSP and Vita people need to get it.

Good point. I didn't know about the dual audio.
Amazon pre-order it is then.
 
I'd really like Bioshock Vita to happen but I guess Sony would need to stump up the development costs and/or marketing budget. Or licence the IP and have an internal studio handle it.

But what would the game even be like? Every time it comes up I imagine a port of the first game - which would be amazing - but I can't see that happening at all.

Long time ago kevin said that bioshock vita will be different and tailored for vita and not a bioshock infinite port.
I wonder if he changed his idea(well we should at least wait to see if he will make a bioshock vita in the first place).

beyond dual audio there will be audio packs to download to change the narrator, so saving room for those might not be bad because I think they are free (again suggests that it's near the limit)

didn't 2K said have tons of contents that got removed/cut from Bioshock Infinite?

there is a reason why there is no announced DLC yet, I guess someone is trying sell Sony reskinned (different) leftovers. :p

I was hyped for it so i got it... It's not for me :(
Every aspect of the game is truly awesome, but it needs lots of grind and dying in a dungeon means redo the entire dungeon, and dungeon can be long and hard...

Maybe you are right, but they could just use some of the infinite content to make the vita game, I mean using those contents but with a different camera, gameplay or genre will result in a original game(the best thing to do imo, reusing assets but with new gameplay)
 
How long can I leave a game on in suspend? Had to stop gravity rush last night because I was falling asleep, but I don't know when I can pick it back up. My battery was at around 50%.
 
Aren't most roguelikes grindfests by their very nature? I can't think of one roguelike that doesn't have some grinding in it.

No, to make a dungeon you can be forced to make other dungeons many times, add that when you die in zhp you lose all your levels, now i don't remember how it works but it doesn't make things easier.
Anyway maybe i'm just not good at it.

Indefinitely until the battery completely drains I think. Once, while I was playing Sengan Kagura, I completely missed the low battery warning and my Vita auto-shutdown. I was unable to turn my Vita back on (it gave the blinking orange indicator), yet when it was charged up my game was still suspended.
 
Just bought Lego Batman 2:

- Oh wow, the cut-scenes look awful. Very aggressive compression I guess, or they just got upscaled the source material straight from the 3DS. On the upside, I guess the game would've been much bigger than it currently is (1.1GB) had they done a proper job of encoding those videos.

+ The in-game graphics on the other hand are quite good. Nothing cutting-edge and I haven't played the PC or console versions to compare it to but on their own they look nice. And the game plays well. It's a fun beat-em up with puzzles and a sense of humor. I like it.

+ $5 is a steal for a full Vita game like this. At least I assume there's a lot of levels and gameplay waiting for me. I've only done the first stage so far.


TL;DR: Graphically, Lego Batman 2 is the opposite of MK Vita--awful looking cut-scenes that bookend decent in-game visuals. Gameplay is solid. $5 well-spent.

I must add that feature also works with PSP games, many times I fall sleep while playing in the night and the battery drains, however once charged, the console resumes where you left the game.
 
Nah. Think I'll just take a cue from SmokyDave and many others: drop the thread from my subscriptions.

Damn, this is just being silly. You can't handle opinions/posts from a dude and you do this? Why don't you just ignore him or something? Or skip his post or something like that. It is a bit mindblowing for me to see someone actually acting like this o_O

Anyways, folks, what kind of wallpapers are you using for your Vita? I am interested in seeing them.

I agree with all of this. Is it me or this game ridiculously easy though? I'm hoping that it gets a little more open and challenging.

It would make sense to tailor a game to the hardware but there's something about being able to play through Rapture on a Vita that really appeals.

I hope something comes out of it though.
 
They just actually advertised the ps vita as a sponsor for the simpsons here in the uk on sky 1
:) they showed wipeout

I haven't watched simpsons in years and I watch today and saw Vita + LBP on sky. Did I just tune in at the right time or has this been happening for a while?
 
Sony paid $12 million for AC3: Liberation and CoD: Declassified and marketed both heavily with bundles. Why not Bioshock?

At least they are talking again.

Do we have any sales figures for how well each title did? Did it make the money back for Sony?
