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

According to an article from Polygon, Tearaway is now more of a traditional 3D platformer than an "adventure" game. That certainly sounds good to me.

All these features are still in the game, but now they're combined with smooth, surprisingly twitchy platforming as well.

During a Gamescom demo, a full level from the game was demonstrated: A barn full of secret passages, enemies to spar with and colorful paper setpieces to interact with. Both the pacing of the game and Iota himself move quickly, running from room to room and puzzle to puzzle, navigating the environment and taking out enemies as he goes. Some of the puzzles require quick, twitchy jumping and world manipulation; sometimes in tandem. It looks more like a proper platformer, and less like a hyper-artistic adventure game.
 
Finally managed to play some KillZone - yeah, looks pretty good! Still not a fan of kill streaks in games and crazy map wiping abilities but most are it seems.

Might pick it up for the SP and the odd multi player with gaffers. Think I went like 40-35. Not bad I spose.

Hey, you played with cha, blaise and me ;)

I don't think the equipped vanguards are based on killstreaks, they just have a cooldown timer. Then there are also vanguard drops.

I have not been able to get into a match in KZ:M A SINGLE TIME since the first night of the open beta.

Had the same problem, a restart of the game fixed it.

Joined the vita club today (got a good deal on ebay). So with PS+ I have the free games from that, and now DoA5+ (and Killzone beta). Anything else that's a necessity to get on sale? I'm considering Guacamelee cause I love me some metrovania style games.


So was Soul Sacrafice no good? People were talking about it like it was going to be the killer app.

Also, someone mentioned Persona 4. I have no idea what Persona is...looks like a 3D RPG. Last good 3D RPG I played was Skies of Arcadia and Ni No Kuni on PS3.

Hey there new Vitabros. Soul Sacrifice is awesome, especially in MP. You should definitely get it. Same goes for Persona 4: Golden. It's the best JRPG I have played.

You should also consider LBP and Wipeout if you don't get it through PS+. You may consider Hot Shots Golf while it is on sale.
From the indie games you should buy Hotline Miami, Guacamelee, Velocity Ultra and Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack (on sale right now).

Vitaers, I have an issue. I always have PSN store open. Just because. But let's say two weeks goes by between when I log in. How can I get the store to refresh without quitting and reloading the store? Seems dumb

Definitely get Guacamelee, it's great! Get Mutant Blobs Attack as well.

lol. why would you want/need to do this? and why would you think it was possible? It likely times out after only an hour.

I don't leave my Vita on for two weeks, but on the peel page, isn't there a refresher tab next to the manual and code redemption?

Well, I'm not sure if that really works...

Edit: Say after two weeks you start up your vita, goes straight onto store, and tries to login. At that time, you could press the PS button and click the refresher? But I really don't know that'll work.

I don't think that is possible. I also have that problem and it is dumb. But closing the app and reopening isn't really a big annoyance.

I believe that's just for the Activity Feed with all the game ads.
 
Does anyone have a month code for PS+ they'd sell me? Would like to buy Little King's Story but figure if I can spend $5 on a month it's better than just spending $4 more.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting this, but how is it a problem and/or "dumb"? Why wouldn't the store refresh after a set amount of time (lol, nevermind 2 weeks)? i find this humorous.
 
Up to Battle of Gods (70 playable characters)

Oh lawd... A DBZ game and we get every Saga and more up front....

Is this actually happening to me?...


Killzone is pretty damn sweet, Not even gonna lie but I suck ASS online... Wow I got dogged, It wasn't even funny. Kinda confusing to try and figure out how the match operates. Amazing the game is gonna drop in 2 weeks time like nothing...

Beta made me pass though, Ill get it eventually but Im not trippin since Ill save a hard $40. Lol. Might focus on Tearaway for my fall/winter. (You idiot, you need to finish SoulSac and Dragon's Crown)

VitaGAF, Please...... I was unsure at first but
EVERYBODY NEEDS TO BUY DIVEKICK. Oh my god, I was cracking up since the first match. The humor is funny as hell and Kick is my main homie. The game is sincerely great. Honestly, Im very surprised. Very very happy, because I know my drunk gaming nights with my friends are gonna be even more salty now!
(Buy it now and save some bread!!)

This is an amazing time to be a Vita owner!!! Drowning in content over here, screw the haters. Let them hate.

When you visit the store and leave the app open in the background, it won't show you any newly updated content in the storefront.

It should refresh the storefront by itself when there is new content. You have to close the app and restart it. I shut down my Vita maybe once a month, so I have the store app open all time. It is a little bit annoying, that's all.

It looks interesting but seems like kind of stuff that I personally would find quick to be bored in after the initial gimmicks ran out.
 
Is Hot Shots Golf any good? I love Mario Golf and Super Swing Golf on the Wii.

It's so good, the DLC is sweet too. It was the only vita game i played all winter. Gotta get back into it now


(Posted this in the KZ:M thread already)

Found this on GameFAQs:

https://www.facebook.com/AmazonVideoGames

Amazon is giving away 5000 beta keys for Killzone Mercenary. I think you gotta "like" them.

Just spreading the word!

Thanks muchly guys

I would say that if you'll be playing primarily solo, the game wouldn't be too suited for your needs. But it does look like a community is forming around it. Lets see if it sticks
 
Is there any chance that Vita's SDK have been upgraded or something?
IMO native res has become more common than about a year ago...

It could just be a simple case of developers wrapping their heads around the hardware and are just sharing their knowledge with each other (or keeping it for themselves, dohoho). Standard fare for every console.
 
So! I guess once my 7000 MB left or so in my 32 MC has been filled up, I won't buy anything else from Sony's PSN ever again.

Hear that Sony? You fucked up by not announcing/launching bigger sized MC.
 
My goodness. Look at KZ:M direct feed screens:

Yup. This is the likely scenario.
 
Impressions, please =)

Still waiting for it to drop in PAL Land...

It ran rather smoothly. Well, compared to the XBOX version I guess, dunno about the PS3.

However, notice I said "rather". The jankiness is still there, unfortunately, but it is not quite as profound as the XBOX version in my opinion.
 
UMvsC3 and NLKS bought and downloaded. Now hopefully the PSN card I got from Best Buy gets here before tuesday so I can get Muramasa.
 
Okay I feel like an idiot...

HOW do I redeem my Playstation Plus 12 month code from my PC?

Also


Does anyone want to trade something for my Unit 13 code???
