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

I'm already going digital unless the game size is huge.

true Gek -- how large is the install for your full copy?

This should answer your question:

Hi gaffers!

(should be slightly smaller for the SCEA version though, his download is localized in 7 languages).
 
If 3DS didn't have Animal Crossing I wouldn't have a 3DS. Also I don't know if it would be possible to make a game in similar vein and not have it feel like a tacky ripoff.

We need something like Sackboy Crossing or something like that.

sigh I really don't understand why Sony isn't pushing Sackboy more
it's so cute and endearing

thats what i dont get - they have sackboy AND even modnation to an extent of possible new mascots.. and they arent as ubiquitous as they could be.

i mean i understand they cut out ModNation once sackboy took over... but still there was plenty of potential in both character styles to create mii-like character.

regardless of my buying LBP - i should get a Sackboy attached to my PSN account - they could even make it like a little tomagotchi or gigapet...your personal mascot, dress him up however, feed him, play some games with him, etc.

i dont like how hes restricted to LBP - he could be utilized better for such good character design. - i'd prefer him over the Home avatars.

speaking of good character design and media molecule - i can't wait to have papercraft tearaway characters.
 
Bought Vagrant Story the other night, not played it for years. Here we go.

Oh and if anyone wants to add me on PSN feel free.

PSN = stiss

Would love to see something like Tearaway:Paperville where you get something like Animal Crossing using the Tearaway universe. Then again, I fear Sony will do a piss poor job like LBP Racing ..

Adding you bro - we can talk about how much Man United suck!

Also - does anyone have Valk Chronicles 2? It's on sale, loved the first, but I hear the second is proper japanese fan service with service and stuff.

Ooh...how much is it? Loved the first game but avoided the second due to all the whining myself.
 
Don't they usually give pre-order bonuses for those who purchase the game digitally for the first week? I know they did that for Soul Sacrifice.
In the UK at least there are two pre-order packs, so you can only get one set of bonuses unless I've misunderstood something. Going to pick this up physically anyway I think.
 
Toro is another under utilized mascot atleast in the west...they missed their chance with him as well.

Lol I remember back when trophies were first implemented, the news app with toro had like 5 trophies. I made a Japanese account and downloaded it, cause you know, why not, nothing I had had trophies at the time. Since then, I fell in love with the little guy. He's so darn cute.

Cooool! I'll add you tomorrow.
 
We're never getting Toro's Friend Network are we.

A Toro + Sackboy + Hot Shots Animal Crossing would be fantastic and you could get all other Sony IPs in there for a little cross promo
 
Because he's owned by Activision now.

Seems like another one of those "why was your head so far up your ass, Sony?" moments. :lol

If they make it Crash they would need to make the PS1 games playable on US Vitas though.

Yes, I'm still upset about that.

Me too. I want to play through Crash 1.

And I want my fucking R-Type games.
There's a reason I bought them before they were taken off the store, dammit!
 
Vita Animal Crossing-esque game would blow my mind.

That's why I'm so excited about Terraria.... I need to play a sim on this thing ASAP.

Sony needs to make LBP Karting a proper mascot racer - also try again at PSABR and make it better.

Uh, I think it's more a case of you jumping to conclusions. Sony never owned Crash, but did use the games to build relationships with Naughty Dog and Mark Cerny and convince them to come work for them directly rather than through Universal Interactive. Pretty smart move by Sony if you ask me.
 
I fear they won't attempt another PSASBR for a long time after that failure and as well as LBPK not doing too great either.

I appreciate that they didn't do fantastically well commercially - but they both got sent to die last Christmas. The brand is there, regardless of what people think about Sony mascots, and if took the base of both LBP Karting and PSABR and built on them , I mean really built on the foundations they've laid, then we could well see those two games become franchises people look forward to.

PSABR had some neat ideas but there's a bunch of reasons people didn't but it. For me it was a number of things; the mash up stages had no charm, stick to one level per game, you NEED a way of knocking someone out without using supers, it's fucking stupid and makes the rest of the moveset completely useless. The roster is the biggest sticking point - I'm not sure "bunch of dudes with guns" quite fit.

I didn't play LBP karting though - but performance issues aside (which could be rectified on better hardware or with more time) it could be popular.

Please don't give up on them Sony.

Little Big Planet World would amazing. A mix of LBP, Animal Crossing, and The Sims or whatever. Imagine! The art style would need to be more cartoonish though. I don't really like LBP's realistic-like material aesthetic.

Nah. Sony let Vivendi get away with the rights to the character. Given his prominence as a "mascot" for the Playstation platform, that's down right idiotic. Crash was pretty much a Sony/Playstation ICON... yet Sony didn't see fit to try to acquire the rights to the character.

Crash Bandicoot is pretty much Sony's Mega Man (in the sense that it's a popular franchise/mascot that has been left to obscurity no matter how many fans want to see the IP.)

And I still want to know why we can't have the damned Crash games playable on Vita in NA.

You guys should all watch this Animal Crossing video on your Vitas. It looks far better on the Vita's screen than the 3DS'. Every Nintendo game just pops.

Well, many games on the 3DS would be improved like, tenfold, were they developed for Vita.

It's a shame that Vita can't at least reach PSP status during its... well, decidedly one sided... war against DS, where people still seem keen on developing for it.

I need more RPGs for Vita, damn it!
 
Completely agree that we need an Animal Crossing-style game.
I'm tempted to buy a 3DS for that game alone.

Surely it would make sense for Sony to make such a game? There's clearly huge demand for it. Even if they just rip the idea off wholesale and put their own characters in it (ala All-Stars Battle Royale) and it's slightly inferior to the real AC, I don't care, just gimme.

Toro and Kuro style characters would work perfectly.
LBP world could also work possibly, especially with the customizing your house elements.

Ugh, I just want AC on Vita :-(
 
I had feels for Animal Crossing to but i remember as soon as i get those games i play it alot then never touch it again..it's that moment to moment thrill that last only a few days and dwindles..but speaking of RPG i still need to get persona 3/4 for my loooooooooooooooong plane trip
 
I know that feel bro.

That's why I typically jump into stuff like Dragon's Crown, P4G, Soul Sacrifice, and such.

It's kind of... sad, that the next big release I am most anticipating is a remake of a launch PS2 game :((

Gimme more RPGs on Vita! I mean, 3DS has loads of RPGs but sometimes I just want to play a prettier game....
