Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | August 2013 | Divekicks & Dragons

I will be picking up Dragons Crown later today. Dont get me wrong, the game looks like a lot of fun and something I will enjoy, but the tipping point for me to purchase at launch was the fact that I want to support these devs and games for the Vita.

Dragons Crown looks like it is well made by a decent group (from what I know/have read). Anyone else doing/feeling the same?

LOTS of people here are getting DC for vita ( and some for ps3 too!) if you check back in the last 1-3 pages there was a large discussion of people exchanging psn names for coop.

i suggest reading through it if it interests you.

edit: TOP - obviously Dragons Crown people..
 
Is the framerate improved in the retail version of Sonic All Stars Racing? I thought the demo ran like ass. Almost as bad as 3DS (which is unplayable).

I've played several hours of the retail version, and I feel like the game runs exceptionally well. No, it doesn't have a fps that's on par with the console version; but the experience is hardly hindered by it.
 
I just bought a Vita there last week and I'm absolutely loving it. I'm holding out hope for a P4G sale in Europe soon. Looking forward to Dragon's Crown too.

Welcome, Vitabro! The blog admin on the EU PS blog actually wrote last week that a sale was not very likely at all on P4G, that they had tried to reach out to the publisher but to no avail, so I just went ahead and bought it anyways. You should too!
 
Seen this already? Seems to be the nail in the coffin for a new AC Vita

"Liberation actually did very well - we're very proud of it," Ishmail explained. "Sales were fairly decent. But the focus for us was Assassin's Creed 4, for current-gen consoles and next-gen consoles.

The guys who did Liberation are all working on 4. Disappointing, especially seeing as retailer leaks seemed to be implying the opposite :-(
 
just so i can get a gauge on your SRPG tastes....

simply rank ( using 1-2-3 next to your favorite to less liked - if never played use a 4) the following:

Disgaea
Shining Force
FFT
Tactics Ogre
Dragon Force
Heroes on Might and Magic
Valkyria Chronicles
add in any you feel as well...

Okaaaaay.

Disgaea - 2
Shining Force - 4
FFT - 2
Tactics Ogre - 4
Dragon Force - 4
Heroes of M&M - 4
Valkyria Chronicles - 1
Fire Emblem - 1
Rainbow Moon - 3 (;D)
 
What are the last news about a Muramasa european release? I'm really tempted to buy the US version right now but I want to reward the ones which bring games to Europe too (I'll wait this Fall for Dragon's Crown by exemple).

Hopefully it puts up good numbers. Really want to see the Vita release do well.

Also suprised at the almost 50/50 split between Vita and PS3 purchases (at least on GAF)

Long-time Vitabro, just wanted to share this little dongle here: PISEN USB battery charge adapter - $6.99 @ Amazon

THIS ADAPTER ALLOWS YOU TO CHARGE THE VITA USING USB EVEN WHILE THE DEVICE IS STILL ON, SOMETHING WHICH YOU ARE CURRENTLY UNABLE TO DO.

Fixed.
 
Okaaaaay.

With the exception of Rainbow Moon (never played it!), that's the same list as me. :P
 
just so i can get a gauge on your SRPG tastes....

simply rank ( using 1-2-3 next to your favorite to less liked - if never played use a 4) the following:

Disgaea (mediocre + way too much content)
Shining Force (staple in the genre. tons of playable characters)
FFT (absolutely the best in the genre. don't care for the GBA games)
Tactics Ogre (seemed fine but i loathed the leveling system)
Dragon Force (never played, but looks good)
Heroes on Might and Magic (never played)
Valkyria Chronicles (pretty good)

not on vita, but I thought Project X Zone had a very good battle/combo system

You're missing Jeane D'Ark (sp) (2nd best in the genre IMO)

I wasn't sure about your rating system so I adopted my own

My brother pointed out this wonderful little adapter for me, so now I don't have to drag my entire Vita charger with me when I travel.

Anyway, that is all.

Any 2 amp USB charger works fine with the Vita. I use a HP Touchpad charger when on the go, the bulky charger that came with my Vita stays with the cradle at home.

Don't really see the point of this thing, a compact charger is just as big and can be plugged in any outlet, and likely charges much faster.

I might be wrong, but I'm prettysure there's only been a few retailer listings for it and nothing more than that unforunately :(
 
Why would you want this when the Vita charges from USB without it?

from amazon reviews:

The point of this product is to turn a data cable into a charging cable. A USB data cable won't allow your device to draw more than 500ma without a special charger. This device shorts the two data pins so your device thinks it's plugged into an A/C charger and draws more current.

These adapters will allow you to use non-Sony AC->USB adapters to charge your PS Vita. These are much more convenient than carrying around a modified cable.

Vita works well with all chargers now - the standard cable will not charge at all from various battery-adapters (as well as most chargers from other companies - including those that definitely provide enough power, like IPad's).

This little piece of plastic allows to charge the PS Vita with most USB Chargers/Batteries (Al least 1 amp output is needed), including laptop ports, if you don't want to spend 50 bucks for the official PS VIta Battery Pack this product is a must.
 
Why would you want this when the Vita charges from USB without it?

The Vita will charge from usb (on pc) but in a backwards way (pretty sure the damn system has to be off)

With this adapter not only can you charge it while playing, but you can use any portable battery charger. I still need to get one.

I might soon, currently only have an 8gb card, so I'm going to play through a few games then I might splash out on it.

This is the reason to get one of these, which I should've clarified in my post. Nice to be able to charge the system via USB and still be able to use it.

I'll get around to them someday! That's the curse of not being tied down to one genre/company, I've got an absurd backlog of things to both go back and replay, new games that I still haven't finished and games that have yet to come out. Hell, I got this for my birthday from multiple people!

BQXsFp1CIAIoY1Y.jpg


And that's not counting Tales of Xillia, Dragon's Crown (PS3) and Dynasty Warriors 8 which I'm getting as belated birthday presents, and just yesterday I put down 6 pre-orders for Puppeteer, Project Diva, FFXIV:ARR, FFX/X-2 HD, KH HD and Knack. I've only got so many hours in a day!

Hey all. Long time lurker here, but I just signed up. Look forward to contributing to this thread. I've had a Vita since late last year and can't wait for some of the games coming out. Dragon's Crown and Killzone Mercenary especially. Gamescom better not be a let down (it will be).

It charges when it's on (even if the light doesn't show) and I've ONLY charged my Vita via the computer for over a year now, it works fine and I play quite a bit. I guess I can see the appeal if you want to charge faster, but it seems like a waste to me.

Guys: remember how last year we got Need for Speed, AC and Call of Duty? Well all of those series are launching on two brand new, heavily focused platforms this year, with most of the support teams that would be doing portable ports and versions piling in to get those additional versions done. Why is everyone so surprised by this every time it gets brought up?

Next year maybe, or the year after, our third-party franchises will return, but they're busy for now, and Vita is nothing compared to next-gen in publisher priorities (quite rightly).
 
I personally thought Rainbow Moon was incredibly dull. It's one of my most regretted PSN purchases, it just did not work for me at all. Absolutely 0 interest in a Vita port of it or it's sequel.

If it was an action-RPG, I might be curious -- when I found out the combat was SRPG... couldn't care less now.
 
Started Malicious on my Ps3 yesterday, one hour in, great game!

Googled it to see from which developer it was, discovered that its coming to Vita as Malicious Rebirth! Nice suprise!

Anyone else got that on his/her list? Not really sure how this will work on the Vita, but now I think about waiting for the Vita Release.
 
don't have my vita on me - but since people have been reorganizing their friends list feel free to add me:

wutdaheckman

say you're a gaffer and if your name is different from your Gaf ID include your gaf name as well please.

edit: anyone that has played well into Silent BoM - im looking at you corrosive - does the gameplay get any deeper after the 3rd world? are there more difficult enemies and strategies later on? i don't see the orange "patch download" on my live area - anyone know how i can get it?
 
Add me Mauaus, Noi-sama and Wiiflare for some DC coop action and for the oldschool VitaGAF party chat (psn - shinriji), but amazon didn't ship my copy yet, still shipping soon since friday :(

Don't really see the point of this thing, a compact charger is just as big and can be plugged in any outlet, and likely charges much faster.

So I could use even a iPhone or a iPad Charger?

agreed I view that as a strong line up... now to just know what major games are releasing in 2014.....
Imo heroes of might & magic 3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> everything else, but to be honest i tried tactics ogre, a disgaea, valkyria chronicles 1 & 2 and i didn't enjoy them, i loved jeanne d' arc, generation of chaos(even with its problems) and others though.

We already know some games of the 2014(in the west at least): freedom wars, demon's gaze, daganronpa, holy sorcery story and probably atelier rorona, disgaea 4 and criminal girls
 
have we added each other? X)

@Aytrial! I'm on my Vita right now. Sorry! please add again! sigh I really hope Sony allows us to change PSN IDs SOON :(

I want to get my actual PSN ID of Aytrial onto this EU account. :C

What's your excuse for having two IDs?
 
Will Dragon's Crown be getting a demo?

So sad my PS+ sub ran out. Gotta wait a while to resub. Glad I was able to platinum VLR before hand. Such a surprisingly good game.

Anyone wants to add me, my PSN ID is StarkENT. I would definitely be down for playing some Soul Sacrifice multiplayer.

Yep, you are on my list, but we haven't played a game together yet cuz I usually play single player lol.
 
Sony should really take a page or two from LINE/Whatsapp or Steam even and include emotes/stickers from their games in the Chat app!

I wanted to type a message to Aytrialz... wanted to send a :D or :P emoticon... and thought of LBP

haha I'm from Singapore... and being a complete noob then when I bought my PS3 Slim, I set up my first PSN account on Asia...

so well you know the rest of the story
 
Did you import SK at the day before (possible) localization announcement?
Well, today's announcement may not be Vita version, so... :D
Nah, I ordered it about a week ago. If it hits EU PSN, I'll double dip.

New bubbles look great. I haven't had a chance to poke around and check out the new firmware properly yet, but love the bubbles.
