Pillarboxed? This isn't a port, is it?
 
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. ;)

that was one code I really wanted to win meh :/
but hmm it would be nice if SCEA released Ultra with a PS+ discount :/ I don't remember that happening :/
 
Man. I've been having a really tough week but NeoGAF and the conference the other day have really helped me keep my mind off things. So much so that I almost felt like buying myself a second Vita for kicks. Maybe one for the outdoors and one for indoors!
 
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 love playing Jamestown co-op w/ friends on my PC. It's a difficult game; I'd love it on the Vita.
 
To play some soul sacrifice new dlc. I sent you a bunch of invites when me agent and itachi play a few nights ago.

My Vita's been acting funny lately -- sometimes I don't get them until much later... I did see the party invite too... the last one I remember seeing though was "stop playing P4G and hop on Killzone!" :lol
 
Alright nerds, it's time to play the voting game again.

From today until the 29th, anyone interested in voting for next month's Game of the Month must PM me with their top 5 choices, in order of preference. If you don't provide an order, I'll assume that the order you list them in is the preference. Each game gets points in order of preference, from 5 to 1, and the game with the most points is the winner. Once a game has been chosen, I'll randomly ask someone who voted for the game as #1 to provide a short write-up for it like the one in this and the previous threads.

Criteria for voting:
  • Games voted for must have been released at any time prior to the month the thread is for, including previous months.
  • Only games released up to the 27th, the last PSN update day in August, will count for this round of voting.
  • Retail, Digital only and PlayStation Mobile games are all valid.
Note - If you vote for a game that's already been selected as GotM, I'll disregard it's placement and scroll everything else up by one. For reference, the following games have already been selected previously.

CHOOSE WISELY.
 
I hate to say this ... but fighting games on the Vita = the way it is meant to be played
that D-Pad is just glorious
I always have a lingering fear that mashing Vita buttons too hard/often while playing fighting games would cause my buttons to die faster. It's probably the result of having the shoulder buttons of three DSes breaking on me. Only reason why I don't buy fighting games on the Vita.

What the hell do you do to your DS3s? o_O
I can't remember the last time anything other than an analog stick started acting up on me...
 
I can't imagine that touching doors/chests, treasure, runes, the food minigame, and some of the other stuff in Dragon's Crown would be as intuitive and enjoyable with an r stick cursor. I'd never wanna see anybody denied the game, but it could have been an exclusive to end all exclusives had it gone that way.

Go to settings and check if your notifications are on.
\

Also Vanwinkle I sent you one too for Killzone. I did sent Noi once but he never took it.
 
Three DSses, not DS3s. :v

Still.

Besides, the #1 rule of fighting games:

DO NOT MASH. NEVER MASH. Unless it's UMvC3 and you're trying for that bit of extra damage on a super move.

My notifications were off for awhile, I was hoping that the screen-on bug would go away...
 
what's happening there? what are people so unhappy about?

the only reason why I hesitate getting fighters for my Vita is that they have a trend/tendency to be added to the PS+ IGC :/

People are mad that indies are "betraying their fanbases" by making PS4 games even though they made games that were popular on PC in the past.

I actually use the right stick more than I do touching things in Dragon's Crown, partially because my hand is already in a position to move the stick naturally where I have to move the whole hand if I want to touch the screen. Plus with the new patch that automatically uncovers treasure just by "hovering" over it with the cursor rather than click, it's even easier to use.
 
I mostly use the right stick in Dragon's Crown for that crap. Casting ruin spells I sometime use the screen. I got sweaty hands, I dont like rubbin'em all over the screen.

Never happened to me personally just turn off your notifications for when friends are online and your set.

I'm going to set up another game tonight and zero do you want to come?

Yeah, I'll play... what time?

Do we have any clue how big Spelunky is going to be? I'm trying to play musical bubbles on my card...
 
Speaking of fighting games I REALLY hope they reveal a Tekken for vita this TGS. All I need as far as fighters go on handhelds

First, they should launch TTT2...and then show Tekken Revolution on it. I played the fuck out of the Tekken games on the PSP, I'd do the same for TTT2.


Also, fighting games are meant to be played on the stick. :p However, fighting games is great on the go for practice and training. I could just spent hours fighting a dummy just to perfect combos.

That practice really isn't going to transfer back over to the console/pc if you go from pad to stick though since bnbs should be mapped to muscle memory.

The vita fighter that made the worst transition from stick -> pad though IMO is DoA5+. The game is filled with diagonals in all 4 directions, which are pretty finicky on the vita's clicky dpad.
 
let be honest, if there was a big multiple game on Vita and the Vita version got cancelled because of publisher deal or even for no reasons, lots of Vita people here will get upset about that as well.

Sure, but that thread is about the same developers making a new game on a different platform, right?

That kind of thing happens all the time.
 
Atelier Totri has me totally hooked, I've caught myself humming the music a couple of times. It's just fantastic.

I'm basically rotating Totori, Killzone Merc (so so so good) and a certain 3ds game where I'm the mayor. Nothing else gets a look in.

Years of practicing on the PSP and moving back to the stick have trained me well on the timing of the combos. Double tapping helps on the stick buttons.

UMvC3 actually happens to be my favorite fighting game despite how awful I am at it. The weird thing is that the DSes were in perfect condition except for the shoulder buttons.

...Nintendo handhelds made me paranoid. D:

I'm running a 90/10 build and still not completely sure about my internet connection, but send me an invite if you see me on SS later.
 
So happy to see people finally getting in. Almost like getting in again for me too. Dragon's Crown, Guacamelee and the Killzone beta has reinvigorated my love for this handheld.
 
43 year old Vita geezer here. Not ashamed. Sent you a friend req.

I'm up for other Vita geezers as well if anyone wants send me a request (please mention GAF though).

Edit: My PSN id is the same as my GAF user name.

I couldn't figure out how to get to my friend requests so I sent one your way! :D

...Since when we can't write Animal Crossing: New Leaf in this thread? who made that rule? Noi? I've always know he will take our freedom.

anyway yeah Atelier Totori plus is good but really short compared to other games in the genre(unless you are going for all ending and everything).

also Totooria is an awesome name.

I hope this is worthed it.

best. decision. ever.

P4G platinum attained. What a pain in the ass that last trophy was.
Game was great, but I've definitely had my fill of it... off the memory card it goes.
Caved and bought DoA5+ on a whim -- hopefully it's worth $10 to screw around with.
Also kicked MGS HD and UMvC3 off my card (Esoteric is going to hate me) so I could more comfortably fit DoA5+ and make some room for DJMAX.
Worst case, I can kick MK9 or NGS+ off to make room for Killzone. Hoping I have over 1gb free after this so I can cave and buy Dragon's Crown (and maybe still have enough room for Spelunky on Tuesday... really hoping it's small).
