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

Added my name to the spreadsheet too. Esoteric, I got Mahvel! Gotta clean up my friends list tonight when I get home first though.

Went on a buying spree last night... got Divekick, Muramasa, Jak Trilogy, Dragons Crown, Stealth Inc, Marvel, NLKS & The Walking Dead. How much will Spelunky be next week?

EDIT: Are any of you guys able to sign in to the web store right now? I can log in to PSNProfiles just fine, but not the web page.


There's PSN maintenance today. Noon to 6:30 PDT.

Also added myself to the spreadsheet, so for anyone, feel free to add. Although as another member of old man GAF, my online gaming is limited. PSN same as GAF.
 
Sorry, thread is moving even faster than usual, but was it posted that Amazon.co.uk now seem to have sold out of unbundled wifi and 3G Vitas? :)
 
It's not gonna be the same - I like our little Vita family. Dave is the drunken Modern Family style Dad, Toto is that annoying Uncle that you sort of wish wouldn't post that much but, deep down, is a top chap. Ionica was like that racist guy that everyone calls 'Pop' even though he's not related to anyone.

Come next year there could be millions of people in this thread!

Oh for sure man, I'll miss how close knit this thread community is if it gets more popular. With Noi as our tribal leader, I think this is one of the finer communities on GAF right now. I think you all are a bunch of cool cats!

No matter what, we'll all be the true OG Vitamuffins and the rest will be Vitafrauds. Lol. Our bond will grow stronger lol.
 
I'll be 31 tomorrow

my wife thinks i'm addicted to my vita

I'm 34. My wife knows I'm addicted to my Vita. She's addicted to Fallout and Elder Scrolls games. Not to mention Terraria, and is currently passing time at home with Guild Wars 2.

I really, really want Terraria on my Vita already. Is that still for this year?
 
You'll be waiting a long time! :)

We tend not to bother with sales unless Sony runs a promotion and invites us to take part.

That's a shame.
Not sure if there's anyone else out there like me, but after SCEE got Velocity Ultra put on ps+ on release day and SCEA bumbled around with approving the release of the game for about 8 weeks, my interest had waned and I figured I'd wait for it to show up on NA PS+.

Luckily I won a code though. ;)
 
New Vita owner as of tonight, a bit frustrated that I cant transfer the shitloads of crossbuy and ps+ title I have accrued due to maintainance but I love the machine already.

Lumines is as good as ever, looking forward to Killzone this weekend.

Have you bought Persona 4 Golden yet?
 
Nothing quite like coming home with a shiny new vita and a year of ps+ only to find that psn is down.

Welcome to the club.

Buy Soul Sacrifice, P4G and Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure(PSP)
 
I played a couple of hours after that post today, actually, and beat late game bosses
Adachi and the eye-thing.
So now I'm very nearly finished. Some of the late game character dialogue is pretty moving, as well, and I'm enjoying just going around talking to people.


Good! You only have a couple of hours. Let us know how it goes. :)

What? I'm a Vitafraud?
I've been a Vita owner since day 1 and lurked this thread since around November last year. I play my Vita over my 3DS and have spent hundreds of dollars on it.

I'm like, legit crying right now :(

Nah, it's all cool. ;)
 
Not sure if posted yet.

IGN video of Fez running on Vita.

Framerate looks rough. Still enough time though, game shouldn't be a problem for the hardware.

Welcome new Vita bros. You made a great decision.
 
Question for Vitabros:

- I have a 16 GB memory card that is close to being full (and will be once I download KZ Mercenary and Rayman Legends)

- When I buy a 32GB card, what is the process to transfer all my games and saves over from the 16GB - is it via Content Manager?

thanks in advance.
 
Fifa 14 Vita

"There will be a Vita version, and it'll be the same great gameplay," EA Sports' David Rutter told Eurogamer at Gamescom in Cologne. Asked whether that means it's the very same gameplay that appeared on FIFA's debut on the Vita, Rutter confirmed: "It's the same great gameplay and new kits."

Should I get Mahvel if I don't really play fighting games and most likely suck?

I'm looking at you, EsotericManiac. :D

No. If you don't really play fighting games the Marvel is a terrible way to start. You're going to want an easier to get in to fighting game like Tekken 6 PSP(works on Vita), DOA5 or Divekick.
 
Personally my 16GB card treats me well. It's about time I let go of Uncharted and Gravity Rush anyways haha.

Killzone question. Any idea how long that single player campaign is? Any sort of other offline options besides the campaign?

Yes. Use CMA and do not do a full backup.
Select Vita --> PC/PS3,
Vita Applications
Copy all

This way, your library is set up on your PC/PS3 for you to copy individual games back and forth without having to transfer the whole card back and forth. If you're done with a game, transfer it over (backups save and game) and delete from Vita, and transfer a new game to the Vita. Like switching out gamecards.

There is a thread about this and yeah it sucks, but what can we do? Konami don't even want to release PES on Vita, no other publishers have alive football series (Sony's This is Football/World Tour Soccer, SEGA's Virtua Striker/Worldwide Soccer and Namco's Football Kingdom all died long ago), Football fans on Vita at least get something..unlike basketball/NBA and other sports.

Ok, thanks very much
 
After all those indie games being announced, the only one that I really wanted never is mentioned: Jamestown. After Sine Mora I want more shmups for the vita.

The developers are still around? The last news of them is one year old.
 
I wonder if Vita sales from the price cuts are substantial at all. Hope so, the Vita's future gets brighter the more people get on board. Already impressed with what has come out so early in the console's life!
Realizing now how long the Vita has been out. Weird, still feels so new.
 
Killzone question. Any idea how long that single player campaign is? Any sort of other offline options besides the campaign?
I seem to recall (somebody correct me if I'm wrong) them saying that there are 9 campaign missions that would each take about an hour to play through. After that you unlock a number of challenges for each missions - getting through the mission as stealthily as possible could be one challenge, etc. So it sounds like it's got a fairly meaty singleplayer side (for a portable offshoot installment in a series of fairly MP-centric games).
 
Damn. I just subbed for another one year PS+ a few weeks ago and now they announce a deal with free 90 days. Should I add another year?
