Left my Vita at home downloading Killzone Mercenary Vita, that pinball starwars thingie, and The Walking Dead Season 1.

I *almost* bought New Little King's Story, but stories about its technical deficiencies--particularly the lagging performance--worries me.

Also, fuck you Square:

Is the DLC included with Season 1?
Edit: Also, are they all in the same download, or are all the episodes separate like with the PS3?

Good, still so many indies that are PS4 only though :/
ResoGun, Galak-Z, Mercenary Kings, Don't Starve and Octodad.
Just imagine Octodad with rear touch controls.

Cant say about the others, but the Merc Kings dev want to do a Vit version, but team size prevents it coming at the same time as PS4 version.

So, on september 9 a new press conference.

I suppose it's not TGS related.

I imagine this conference will shed some light on SCEJ's PS4 stuff, along with a (2014) release date announcement for the system. Probably a hunting game-themed sizzle reel for Vita (GE2, Freedom Wars), but I think most of Vita's JP game announcements will come in the form of random surprise Famitsu reveals. I don't think SCEJ really does "blowouts" for any system.

Had to comment on that ionca character, by the way. I've been pretty vocal about my distaste for this "indie revolution" (seriously, shit's getting crowded and memory sticks need to be dirt cheap for these digital-only games to succeed), but to make it personal like that...disgusting. Hope it's a perma <3

On an unrelated note, does NA/CAN have those mega-packs that House talked about? Seems like an interesting idea to sell memory sticks with a theme-based selection of games.

Borderlands is FPS loot heaven with skill trees and all that other RPG stuff.

I already tried the first game free PS Plus and I can see how they were talking about "rpg" elements, very similar to Bioshock and Mass Effect in the respect of a FPS/RPG. I don't know though, just something didn't click with me and it. I might give it a try on Vita but not at full price.

Very happy with the announcements today. Looks like N++ will be ported to Vita too after the PS4 version is done

I said this earlier but it got lost in the shuffle. It won't let me post the url for the interview because I guess it's banned but google N++ vita and you'll find it.

So after the release of the PS4 version, we’ll start looking into the Vita version, and we expect the process will be much quicker since we’ll have already perfected the game — we’ll just have to tweak the graphics and UI to ensure it looks just as good on the Vita’s smaller screen. We’re up to the challenge though — because even though we weren’t completely happy with the DS/PSP versions of N+, we loved playing the game while traveling! So we’re working hard to make that possible with an even better version, N++.

Defender's Quest will also most likely be coming.

I'd be very surprised if bioshock vita didn't happen, BL2 shows that Sony is willing to pay for third party support, so yeah I think bioshock vita is probably going to happen. Not sure who would develop it though.

yeah but BL2 is just a port, Bioshock Vita is supposed to be something else/new and not just a port (right?), Sony will have to pay way more for Ken Levine and 2K for a new game.

Sony paid for Liberation and declassified too irc, and kev levine said that he has enough cut content from bioshock infinte to make several games, I'm assuming bioshock vita would be from this vault. The guy who told me about BL2 said that he'd be very surprised if Sony/2K hasn't worked things out by now.
 
What sort of details were given about the Borderlands 2 port?

Will it be some sort of game of the year edition? Would love all that extra DLC content and characters on the go.
 
Fucking awesome presser all the way around today. I'm almost certainly getting a Vita now. I'm pumped, GAF! Rouge Legacy and Minecraft sealed it for me. Only decision I need to make now is whether to get it right away or wait 3 more months for a sub-$200 Black Friday bundle.
 
Anyone got any tips for getting death to spawn in P4G?
Trying to hunt that fucker down.

Can he spawn out of gold chests?
If i just sit at the intersection of these two floors in this dungeon and go back and forth opening 1 chest over and over will he come?
 
Minecraft could be a BIG deal if it's not the gimped mobile/iOS version. I personally know nothing about the game, but it's basically an Angry Birds-esque phenomenon among the teenie bopper crowd.

Even if it sucks, it'll probably be Vita's highest seller on PSN ever. Sony should bundle that shit yesterday.

Borderlands 2 is simpler as Sony simply contracted a small developer to port the code to Vita and then will publish the game.

Bioshock Vita would be much more expensive as it would require new code, new artists, new animation, new writer, etc

it walking dead a crossbuy game now?

I have a code for 400 days but I don't have the original episodes

It's not a cross buy game, unfortunately.

Definitely. Bundle the shit out of it. Plaster Minecraft all over the box. Make sure it's available at all Vita demo stations, too.

If it has adhoc multiplayer (if that's possible) that could really help to. Make it the ultimate portable Minecraft experience.

No real actual tips, it is all 100% luck.

However, in NG+ he spawns more frequently.

...Sometimes even in the 1st dungeon.
Click to expand...

I ran into him in my first dungeon in my first playthrough.
I've run into him once in NG+, but I was only in my 40s, level-wise, so I skipped it.
I'm now level 99 across my whole party and want to end his ass for my trophy. :\

I read it's supposed to have something to do with chest count (every 20 chests), but I can't get him to spawn.

I got him in the second dungeon. Teddie is like are you sure Sensei?! I was like sure who cares about Death, I'm bad ass.

...

...

I died in one turn.

Any word on how TWD Vita looks and plays? I won't be able to get it until next week. Bummer.

I have bought and downloaded it. I left my Vita at home to download it, though.

Later when I get back from work I will tell my impression for you, and anyone else here possibly wanting to know.

Kinda curious about this as well...every version of this game is unoptimized as hell but I was kinda hoping it made enough money that TT would put some effort into optimizing the vita port.
 
I'm not holding my breath on the Borderlands 2 port not being shit. Iron Galaxy are cool guys and all but we do know that the Vita version of the Unreal Engine is barely optimized at all, and so far I don't think it has been used in a game on the scale of Borderlands 2 yet.

The results could be disastrous.

I think MS had exclusive console rights to it, which is why it's taken so long to get onto Playstation. It's a fun game, I'll pick it up.

Could somebody give me the summary of Gamescom for Vita? Been busy lately and don't have time to see all the post here.
Click to expand...

- 50 dollar/euro price drop
- New mega packs for Europe
- Insultingly small price drop on memory cards
- 3 new 1st party games, none of which looking very high budget
- New batch of indie game announcements (with Shahid himself on stage), including Fez
- New demonstration of PS4 remote play

No new major game announcements (or localizations), but hey it could be worse.

ADDENDUM: Oh yeah and Minecraft was casually announced for all 3 PS platforms, despite Microsoft previously claiming it was exclusive to them. Much lols were had.

ADDENDUM 2: Oh and Borderlands 2, how the hell did I forget

There IS something to be said about the Vita being the only platform where you can play the full version of Minecraft on the go.
 
Just picked up the Spyro trilogy on PSN last night. After a little while I realised that if I switched the control mode to digitial, then mapped the d-pad buttons to the Left Stick and the R2/L2 buttons to the Right Stick horizontal axis, I could have Spyro with dual-analogue movement/camera.

Bless you, Vita.
