WTF @ Virtue's Last Reward ending.

Spoilers, obviously:
Sigma/"Kevin" is sent into the past to take 22 year old Sigma to the future to train him into trying to stop Radical-6/deadly virus from spreading and killing/self-inflicted deathing the entire world at the hands of Dio/Left's "Free the Soul" cult's wanting.

Anyway, after a bunch of time jumping and LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN~~~~~~o/`'s he finally returns to Kevin's body/Sigma-as-a-22-year-old-clone's body. But the whole: "What body did Kevin jump into to support Phi and Sigma/Zero Sr/not-Kevin's mission to stop the virus from spreading this time!" isn't ever answered.

So WTF.
The ending was really disappointing imo.
 
ID just needs to give me Doom, Doom II and Ultimate Doom on Vita.

I remember buying that 2D FPS that's on PSM thinking it would fill that void and it was just complete garbage.

With the PS Mobile SDK now free I've been thinking about trying my hand at porting Doom to PS Mobile. Naturally I won't be able to deploy it to the Store but anyone willing enough will be able to compile and deploy a build on their Vita. I'll keep you guys posted.

You could just do various changes and selling it.

They wouldn't need to compile. You would just need to add their vita seed files to your keyring. Then send them the keyring + psmp

Actually, it's not Sigma inhabiting Kyle's body in the "secret" final epilogue. The game never confirms who it is, but as I recall, the writer has more or less implied that it is supposed to be "you" - the player.
 
honest question here... why are all indie games 2d and rely on artsy/whimsical style?

In the past i have probably seemed against indie games but the truth is im not... i just need more diversity

how many fully 3d indie games are on the vita? almost all are 2d and incorporate some style of platforming / adventuring

why hasnt someone made an indie FPS? doesnt even have to be true 3d it could be a doom/duke 3d style game for all i care

why has no one made a 3d racing game? i dont expect Forza 5 graphics here, im sure on a reasonable budget 3d is not very expensive... it can look like Daytona usa for all i care, as a matter of fact, that would be awesome!

There are a couple things to consider in reguards to Indies on playstation. The biggest one being that this indie push is still fairly recent, and there are allot of devs out there who still dont really know about Sonys changing policies. It is also true that they have been signing indie devs for awhile now, but in general we know about only a small handful of the games they have signed overall.

Also thee is good example of fully 3D indie game coming next month with Real Boxing. I dont know if your interested in sports games, but it actually looks really good imo. Fill that fight night void for me quite nicely.


*edit* Also just announce SuperIcon (life of pixel) is bringing their new game Vektor wars to the PSVita:

From the early peek, it seems to offer a great-looking city to explore and engage in combat around, with bags of detail and effects that bring the old vectors to life. Throw in a bit of compelling story and plenty of action, and we should have a great game on our hands.

Looks pretty interesting imo, im a fan of SuperIcon so im happy they are bringing more to Vita.

No because then I would be distributing the game assets, which are not free.

Unless there's a way to inject the asset files (ie. IWADs) to an existing build (I doubt it), there's not going to be any way to legally distribute compiled builds.

Isn't Doom from 1993 and 20 years old?

Yes... and your point is...?
 
Finished the story of soul sacrifice, going for the lvl 7-9 quests. Is there a good site about ss with updates on the upcoming dlc etc.? SS wiki seems stuck in june.

That would be amazing.
 
Actually the thing I'm most curious about Gamescom is if they'll announce whatever it is that Andrew House mentioned at the PS Meeting that will bring the Vita SoC and OS into the living room. Vita Tablet? Ouya-like box with DS4 bundle?

I also really want a book reader app, and a podcast app.
 
Really hope Puppeteer gets a Vita release.

We’re a small team, so we’ve been concentrating on the PS3 edition,” the Japan Studio veteran told us as part of a recent interview. “I know that there have been plenty of pleas for a Vita version, but that’s just not a decision that I make in Japan. That’s for the top people. I’m sure if you shout loud enough, [Worldwide Studios president] Shuhei Yoshida will make it happen.”

That was last week, so maybe we'll get news at Gamescom? Please!

Teamspeak on Vita. MAKE THIS HAPPEN SONY I WILL PAY YOU £10 FOR IT.
 
Caved in and bought a Vita (wi-fi)

It should be coming tomorrow, it comes with WipEout 2048 and Virtua Tennis 4 and and 8gb card plus 2 years accidental damage cover. Got it for £124, so that might be a good deal? It's pre-owned but no scratches or any marks apparently.

Anything I need to know? Is there a sale on any Vita games at the moment?

I'm probably gonna pick up hotline miami even though I own and played it on PC. I guess the next step is just getting Plus right?

No caving in necessary, the vita is an awesome machine with lots of games easy choice for me since launch
 
It's so nice to see the store update at a fairly regular time lately. I recommend Kung Fu Rabbit to you guys. It's a fun platformer for only $4.99. It gets pretty difficult. I have the Wii U version but I just got it on Vita. :)

Edit: Got it downloaded, played a little bit. Looks and plays very nice at 60fps. Looks better than playing it on the Wii U Gamepad like I was doing because of the superior screen.

It was an internal battle, I lost against myself tomorrow though I guess I win! I've wanted one since launch, just couldn't afford one.

I have RCR on PC and I don't really like it, shame because it's actually really interesting just boring to play. I think I've had an idea as to acquire some games by getting that Mega Pack, snatching the codes, selling the memory card and enjoying those 10 games.

After 20 years rights are dropped right? That's why it is legal to make and sell you own nes / snes etc, see retron5 and sort of consoles. Should also apply on software?!

There was an ESRB ratings leak for Sly HD but it wasn't announced at E3 alongside GOW HD, weird.

Anyway, where's my Borderlands 2 port, Pitchford/Shahid/Shahid's boss/famousmortimer!?

Persona, Witcher, HL3...

at least my list was completely realistic compared to this.

No. Only patents last 20 years (I think?). Copyright lasts a lot longer than that.

The Doom source code is open source under the GPLv2 license, but the game assets are not, and are still under valid copyright. The games are still sold on Steam, and id Software is entirely in its rights to do so.

With that said, I just remembered about the FreeDoom project, which is a free replacement for Doom assets, so it would be technically possible to distribute a build using the FreeDOOM IWAD, but it's so awful that I don't really see the appeal. And distribution on the PS Mobile Store is still out of the question.
