Damn...I don't have a DS, and it was either the Android version (which from reading the reviews, that one doesn't seem to be hot either), or the PS1 version...looks like i'm going Chrono Cross and Legend of Mana. Damn, I wanted to replay Chrono trigger too.

I agree; Most Wanted was ruined for me by the low resolution. Also, I thought the game had massive input lag, but, after playing it on the PC, it turns out the cars just don't feel right (maybe it's just me).
Also, took this GR screen a long time ago because it looked so very suggestive..
Haha, I took that shot too.
If you have a good tablet/smartphone, there is a new NDS emulator for 5 bucks. There is a thread about this, you could ask if there is any problem with Chrono Trigger.

I'd so replay this.

Fair enough, I guess. Origins does a lot of things right and is incredibly polished, but it isn't revolutionary. SMB3 & SMW pushed the genre forward. Nintendo obviously hasn't made a concerted effort to recapture that 2d brilliance, so it's no surprise something else has taken its place. Rayman came years after those. 64 & Galaxy (we shall leave out Sunshine) are now the best in their respective sub-genres. It'd more appropriate to compare them to Rayman 2&3, Ratchet & Clank, Sly, banjo kazooie, Spyro, Jak etc.

Yeah, that's what I had meant to explain. I'm not good with words.
I'd like to see the handling from GRID in an open-world racer.
What? There are multiple hubs, like Bree, the pass of Caradhras, Lothlorien etc.. just go to a shop and choose the level progress option to see your level status.

When I first got NFS, I really liked the graphics, then I saw the traffic, and then I saw the PS3 version. Bomb-o. The traffic is still a problem for me in it, and I've been playing it like a madman. I still enjoy the hell out of the game, it hasn't diminished my fun.PSY・S;75589719 said:

This is the only screen I took.
Now I kinda feel like a perv.
I know I can see the status from there, but I can't then go straight to that level from that menu even for free play (which would make the hunt for collectibles so muc more manageable). I've never considered going for 100% in a Lego game before, if they're all like this I might not bother again.
EDIT: And... I've just realised select brings up a world map.

The game is actually pretty.. sexualized at points.
Also, the open world of Lego: LOTR on console/PC is amazing; I would not pay a cent for it on handheld.

You would be right if naruto games were the rule, not the exception, and gravity rush aimed at their graphics, but it's not the case.PSY・S;75583687 said:

Another thing, do you honestly think that on ps3 we would have got the awesome comic cutscenes or boring normal cutscenes?
Even in this case the hardware matters, obviously the ps3 is able of doing comic cutscenes, but there are unwitten rules and expectations for the ps3 that are different from the vita ones.

RE: open world games on the Vita, it'd be neat if we really do get a port of The Amazing Spider-Man, provided it's the PS360 version. That was a pretty neat, well-populated open works, and it had plenty to do. A handheld version of that would be pretty amazing.

getting pretty tired of all these old indie games you got from steam for a buck or humble bundles...
this better pay off and we get all these studios new games on a universal release day.

Some people being pretty harsh on NSF:MW... I think the game is an absolute marvel for an early release on a hand held.
I think it's incredible difficult initially but I put that down to the old small screen, small analogue sticks thing. I'd actually like to see the option to use the d-pad if desired.
Once you've played it for a while, you get locked in... I hate to think of the faces I'm pulling on the plane when I'm playing that game

I'm ok with them. I've played some already on other platforms but will most likely play the ones I liked the most again on Vita (like Lone Survivor for example). The important thing for me about these deals though, is to hopefully cement a relationship between Sony and these developers so we can see their next games on the Vita on day one (like TWD season 2 for example).

I disagree to an extent; the handling is horrible and the traffic pops-in. This leads to a lot of frustration.
Also, the crashes absolutely suck system-wide. Nothing even close to the awesomeness of Burnout Paradise.

In the case of Nicalis, most of their business seems to be porting/remaking PC indies for consoles and handhelds.
Just thought how awesome a serious, Vita-exclusive 3D-Skateboarding game would be. Not serious gameplay-wise but seriously developed, maybe AA.
Not Tony Hawk or Skate, but a new IP. Not too long but good, sell it for 20, sell more Levels for 5 each.
That studio could get experience with skateboarding-games to make an AAA-Ps4 exclusive.
Wouldn't a good skateboarding-Vita game sell copies and hardware? Get on it Sony!
One can dream

I adjusted to the handling. The pop-in issue is what lead me to delete it after finishing the most wanted list. I got sick of crashing into objects (railings, lamp polls, overpasses etc...) that weren't there a second or two ago. Good game, but it felt like the Vita couldn't handle it at times.
Bought PJ:M HD, to play it for a third time yesss.
Floating Cloud God looked interesting too so I thought why not that as well.
Edit: I've had three "Preparing to download" errors in a row. I think I'm just going to fully use the webstore and use download queues solely from now on.

Rayman Origins demo was so much fun! Only played the first few levels but I was able to go back and get all the electoons! Definitely going to pick this up eventually.

I know you said not Tony Hawk or Skate, but I can't help but think how awesome a Tony Hawk game (one that goes back to it's roots) would be on the Vita. Small sessions of trying to beat yours and your friends' high scores.
That shouldn't have to happen anyway, though. It's a game about driving cars; they could have at least gotten the handling correct. I adjusted to the handling after extended play, but never to the point where it didn't cause me to crash every few minutes.
If you're in the US you should pick it up now, it's on sale.
Eh, I thought the handling was fantastic. Better than any other Criterion game imo.
Someone suggested something like Grid a few posts ago and for me that game is unplayable. People just have wildly different tastes when it comes to driving games, there's nothing wrong with NFS it's just different.

Supposedly it's graphics (jaggies, especially) are god-awful, if that matters to you.

It's mediocre but if you like f1 you'll have some fun. It's kinda ugly and straddles an arcade/sim line... but it plays well.

The most important aspects are there. It controls and plays well for a handheld. Plenty events and modes. It's the presentation that's the issue not the gameplay. You never see your crew like in the console version, just sterile menus. Graphics are average, no touch controls at all.
You have to go in with expectations. If you want the ps360 version of f1 in a handheld you'll be disappointed. For me it's served its purpose. A good portable racing game with solid frame rate that is quick to jump in and out of races.

I certainly won't buy stuff like Germinator of DieDieDie but I'll be completely down to buy almost anything I love that makes it's way over from Steam.
A lot of this is going to depend on space + the stupid 100 app limit, though. Since we got PS+ button for cloud saving I was able to delete a good handful of retail release bubbles, but that's not ideal. Just gonna have to keep hammering home the need for 64/128 until it happens.

Because it's not what they're going for.
Yes.
And you're ignoring the fact that Gravity Rush has regular in-engine cutscenes in addition to the comic book panels.
No.
Oh ho? How are you going about giving them away?

Very nice indeed!
I'm playing through this game between Dragon's Crown.
I don't race much online much but you can add me for leaderboards and stuff - ID is Shad0w59
I actually quite like the fact it feels unique compared to other games, you have to turn into corners a little earlier and drift through them. Light use of the handbrake too.
The AI in this game is pretty funny though as they do crash a lot in silly places.

I like the NFS handling. Each car feels different, and never too arcadey or simlike. I have GT PSP for my sim, and NFS for everything else. Once you get certain cars down it delivers utter happiness.
