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

What if the realistic vita announcement is

NO new memory card price drops , nor NO increase in sizes
System price drop $199 everywhere
Assasins creed 4 is the only AAA shown thats not been announced

And just footage from:

Killzone with announcement that the beta is available from tommorow in the EU (like we don't already know)
Fifa 14
Batman Arkham Origins shown
A bunch of indies
More PS4 cross play shown?

And ps vitas most sucessfull indie title hotline miami, gets its sequel on the vita in 2014

I'll be happy with them showing PS4 cross functionality.
 
ugh what is wrong with the stream
"beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep"
edit: Incessant beeping has been fixed! My ringing ears will continue.
 
PS Nation tweeted that Binding of Isaac rebirth is coming to PS4, Vita, and Steam in 2014. I assume that's what Brad was referring to. I love BoI but the remake is taking forever.

I would literally slave the rest of my little life for the next 60 years to build a time machine...

I would go back to the past during the initial Vita draft brainstorms and slap everyone in the room.

I know those guys had nothing to do with this lol

Jesus Christ, the hype in here really deflated in the two hours that I didn't check in. :p

Sony is NOTORIOUS for blue balls.

That would actually be better than I had anticipated to be honest. My expectations are crazy low.

I'll probably get Borderlands 2 again. So fucking hyped for Starbound, but already waiting for my PC key. And they said on the official forums they're finishing PC before starting on PSN version.
 
We're back :D

So...

Vita price drop
Memory card price drop
Borderlands 2 for Vita
Remote play demonstration (finally)
Minecraft Vita.

Anything big I missed?
 
There's something fishy going on with Minecraft, isn't there? Why the hell wouldn't they mention the Vita version during the press conference? It's clearly the Sony platform that the game is best suited for, and it is the platform which stands the most to benefit from Minecraft being on it. It's just inexplicable that they wouldn't be shouting it from the rooftops that it's coming.. Any theories?
 
I'm seriously disappointed, wow am losing faith with just Borderlands 2 as the only retail game announced.

Objectively it was great seeing them announce a price drop on both Vita and memory cards as well as getting the indies on board in a big way.

I'm only gonna get Murakami Baby and Hotline Miami 2 of those shown off today.
 
All in all it could have been a lot worse. already have borderlands 2 cheap on the PC.

Some of the indie games coming look great.
 
We're back :D

So...

Vita price drop
Memory card price drop
Borderlands 2 for Vita

Minecraft Vita.

Anything big I missed?

One thing to note is that Borderlands 2 is being published by SCE. Seems like Gearbox might be porting it and not SCE like Randy Pitchford wanted, but SCE will have to publish the product and not Take Two. Will probably be the same deal for a Bioshock Vita, if that ever comes.

Remote play was smooth as butter btw, I was impressed.

Shahid presented this portion really well. Good job, dude.


It's great that they announced a memory card price drop but I'd like to see them new prices, dammit.

I would like to see new prices AND the introduction of 64GB.

Get rid of 4GB SKU, slash current price of remaining MC SKUs by 50%, and introduce a 64GB SKU for the current price of a 32GB SKU.
 
Rogue Legacy :D MEGATON

FEZ! This Year! MEGATON as well lol.

A lot of great announcements today guys. Cream of the crop Indies, memory card cuts, price cuts, and Borderlands 2.

Now all I need are some 3rd party Vita news and I'm straight. Awesome conference.

Shahid was on stage too!! That was cool.

I need to watch an archived stream, I had to resort to liveblogs at work

If you dont know what rogue legacy is... look it up
 
Iron Galaxy are handling the Borderlands port, so hopefully it will be decent. It's being published by Sony, too. No surprise.

Also not releasing until 2014, eugh. Still a cool announcement, regardless. Tri-buy Minecraft is a megaton, too.
 
Welp, I guess Sony's first party studios are done with Vita. One game announced this entire calendar year. Amazing support.
 
I'm definitely not worried about a lack of indie games, big the conference as a whole was disappointing for Vita fans. Granted, WAY better than E3, but still. Not a lot of big retail releases, most notably Bend Studios.

My highlight was seeing Remote Play run perfectly smooth, and it also seemed to mirror the TV rather than turn the TV into a Remote Play splash screen or something.
 
The thing that bugs me is that there aren't ANY first party exclusive titles for vita at E3 or Gamescom (well I think SCEJ is involved in Destiny of Spirit) ..It's just horrible

Has WWS in EU and NA given up on Vita entirely? I wish someone from Sony or an insider could answer this question. It's incredibly disheartening
