I prefer a Borderlands 2 port being announced over a spinoff that has a high chance of being subpar or closer to Declassified than KZM in quality.

It's not that I don't understand (and agree) with your sentiments, I really do, but right now for Vita it is really the situation of, "If you don't want A, then you get nothing" instead of "If you don't want A, then how about B or C?"
So yeah, in my opinion any big games coming for Vita, port or not, is a blessing.
Anyways, NFS Most Wanted: Hmm, now I am curious. I *have* played the Xbox360 version but only in passing, and to tell you folks the truth I am not really a big graphical demander (though nice graphics are certainly a bonus) so hmmmm.

Considering Gearbox couldn't even be bothered to work on one of their own games and the fact that Pitchford himself said he'd like someone else to handle the port, I'd say it's probably safe to assume Gearbox aren't handling the Vita port of Borderlands.
There's probably some kind of hook to get people to buy the Vita version, too. PS3 cross-play or some Vita exclusive quests or something.
Also if 2K are on board with the Vita now, can we please get NBA 2K14?

Am I the only one who has trouble with Hotline Miami controls ? :'(
Also the game's insane. Nothing feels better than completing a level in one go and slaughter everyone [/psycho]

I thought borderlands 2 was pretty mediocre. Hardly anything new from the last game, but I still beat it.
I would probably play it more than KZ:M so i welcome it anyway

We know .. you play the 3DS
Seriously .. NFS:MW is not Wipeout level of graphical fidelity but its entertaining to play.
Are you on my friends list? If not, add me (smokiestdave). I want you to have to stare at my mug every time you pass a billboard
I can't wait to smash through your face.
Ya if you're not a graphics purest then you'll find a lot to love in Most Wanted. It's not like it's ever really ugly anyway, it's just a downgrade compared to something like Wipeout or the Console Most Wanted.
I thought Borderlands 2 was one of the best sequels ever, adding onto the shaky formula and fixing everything that was wrong with the original. I'll surely be doubledipping on this especially if it comes with all the DLC (which it should, come on Gearbox.)

it wasn't much of a sequel to me. it was the same game all over again. very little was added to the game to give you a fresh experience over the first.
obviously if you liked the first you probably liked the second.

Last Gamescom was awesome, but you guys need to stop doing this to me. I allowed myself to get hyped for E3 and was largely disappointed. Not sure if I'd get BL2 since I already completed and played until I was bored with it on PS3 earlier this year. However, I might play with VitaGAF if the experience is pretty close to console...
I'm fully adjusted from a 360 controller now, I'm 90% on the trophies and going for Get a Life.

I want to love Gravity Rush. I really do. The controls are getting the best of me, though, lol. Doesn't help that I picked it up after months of not playing it.
Also, I may have figured out a way to have the store play nice when downloading. The infamous "preparing..." hangup kept happening to me this morning as I was re-downloading a bunch of old stuff in succession. I then decided to close the store and reopen between downloads, and it worked. So, maybe?

I had trouble with the controls the whole time I was playing it as well, but I really enjoyed it though
What's the best way to download games for Vita? I bought Touch My Katamari last night and I was hoping the Vita would just kind of "background download" it all night (I left it on and stashed it in its case) - while it did background download some of the PSP PSN+ freebies, Touch My Katamari was paused - maybe it's because I bought it first and then grabbed the freebies? Should I be using my PS3, instead? Or is there a setting that I can use to make it so everything that is queued is downloaded? I don't care about my battery. It's excruciatingly slow and I hate babysitting these downloads! Argh. 
Thanks.

i think it depends how you go about downloading a bunch at a time. if it says "waiting" you're fine. if its paused, it wont automatically unpause it.

thats what i do - havent had a hang up in a long time. i just close the psn store every time. and as long as i space out my downloads, which is pretty typical as im not always downloading a ton of stuff in succession.
in fact ican't remember the last time i had a hang up
I'm not even hyped for Gamescom for Vita. I still think it'll be ps4 focused with montage of upcoming Vita games already announced and maybe GOW gameplay ha! Anything else is a bonus.
I haven't finished BL2 on PC, I like it but I'm finding it way too long to be bothered when it's basically same old stuff each time.
Thanks - so if I just watch the download queue and they're all "waiting" - I can safely put my still powered on Vita somewhere and it will keep going despite the screen being off?

yes, it should.
some people are reporting that going into "sleep" mode disconnects their wi-fi, which obviously wouldn't allow the downloads but it seems pretty rare for that problem to occur.

honestly all i'm expecting from gamescom is destiny of spirits, tearaway, and killzone. a few playable indies tossed in too.
and really i'm 100% satisfied with just tearaway and killzone. those games are incredible.

I can't wait to keep restarting my Vita to get my Eviscerating Rubi.....Then 3000 more resets for a good Love Thumper!!!....YAY
I dunno, i really like Borderlands2, like alot, but I just cannot see a good port hitting the Vita. Theres going to be corners cut and its going to be bad.
I hope im wrong as I love the game, but I just dont see it

It will continue downloading even in sleep mode as long as there's nothing wrong with your internet connection (it might say there's some error if the connection drops out for a while and not continue downloading without you resuming it) and as long as you haven't paused any of the downloads but have them all waiting for their own turn.What's the best way to download games for Vita?

I stared at this for a few minutes cluesless as to WTF you were even talking about, lolol. It's been a year since I traversed the wonderfully demented Pandora.
Anyway, I think the game can win if they tailor it to vita, rather than attempting a direct port (especially considering the game size limitations). A restricted, more compartmentalized game might seem in direct conflict with the ethos of Borderlands, but I think people will understand. Maybe like a set of origins stories for each of the characters. I don't know. I doubt this is materializing, anyway. lol.

I am too...... but i also want to know about the upcoming games, especially in 2014. We know about a few but a concrete release date and announcements would be nice.
Thank you for the help. I think I'm all sorted now. Need to get ready for week 2 of this sale.

I'd buy BL2 for Vita. Never finished it on PS3... like someone else said, do whatever you need to the graphics, then pour the magic Bluepoint smoothing all over it, and give us it in GOTY form. I'd like to have it all on a card and not have to DL things that aren't there in the distant future.
...I'd be happier looting in a Diablo III port, though.

Did it get its funding? I honestly can't remember, haven't seen anything on it since the kickstarter came up.
It was an informal poll, they never promised anything would come of it.

agreed - but i remember in december '12/ jan '13 , the outlook was incredibly bleak for 2013 vita releases. people were getting really freaky and antsy...yet of course slowly but surely games get announced all throughout the year.
the only thing that has me nervous is that around this time in 2012 we knew of the 1/2 BIG "AAA" games coming out in 2013... and yet we dont have any of that for 2014 this year...
im holding out hope that sony is just playing their cards closer to their chest and not announcing major games for vita unless its guaranteed to release within 6-8 months. i think them announcing stuff 12+ months away is too early - at least for vita.
I'm keeping my Gamecom expectations very very low after my E3 expectations were low and I still managed to come out disappointed.
You have good taste sir.

No.
Not sure which part of my post triggered that question.
I was merely saying that (1) the guide I'm using is written for someone who might be trying to do it on their first playthrough and thus doesn't have things like courage/expression/dilligence/etc. maxed and because of this (2) I have made several deviations from the guide and it's a bit stressful to hope I haven't fucked anything up.
Example:
My guide says "study at night" or "read this book because you need more courage or knowledge or whatever". I don't need to do those, so I see I can further Nanako or Dojima's SLink, so I put in extra time there and have those several levels above where they're supposed to be. Also, it seems because of the maxed stats, I'm getting more points than the guide figures for certain encounters, as I've had it tell me to spend time with someone and I don't need to, the S.Link is ready to level up already.
Maxing a single SLink won't prevent you from getting the trophy. However, trying to get them all in your first playthrough is a bit ridiculous and it's much easier to do in NG+... especially if you're trying to read all books and stuff.
Probably the harder to spot mask... Chameleon, I think.
The most useful masks are Tiger (your punches kill), Unicorn (enemies don't come running when they hear your gunshots), Panther (doubles walk speed), Frog (longer combo window).
The cartoony style of Borderlands will help a lot. They can do quite a lot of cuts without it affecting the overall great look of the game too much, especially if they can keep it native res.
If true(don't forget that it's still a rumor) i don't care about the graphics, for me they could even use 2d billboards like duke nukem 3d instead of polygons(ok maybe it's too much), what i want is native res, at least a solid 30 fps and no compromises(like the limited number of cars in nfs:mw).
Have you already forgotten this?
vita can totally handle a borderlands 2 version that is graphically close to the home one, the problem is that we have to see if the team that is working on it is capable enough

Your really selling me on this game Marrec. I want another racer besides Wipeout as well.
People have been saying Borderlands 2 is coming to the Vita for a while but the biggest question is when BL3 comes out will we see a vita version?
And that is?
And that is?

Really?? I thought it was huge step up from the first. The writing is some of the best I've experienced in a game. Definitely my 2012 GOTY.
