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

EB Australia have some interesting pre-order prices.

Dragon's Crown = $43
Tearaway = $38

Not bad at all. Murasama is $68 though for some reason.

Also worth noting that EB have the Dragon's Crown art book as a pre-order bonus. Really good deal at that price!

Pretty sure their listing of Muramasa is just a mistake they're not keen on fixing though; they've had it up before the game even came out in America.

I'm prettysure they take away $2 from the RRP for shipping, but I'm still really surprised at how cheap they are. One thing Sony got right here was having price tiers for Vita games, it feels like we get price gouged less because of it.

I think Murasamas price is just a placeholder.
Confirmed for fall, digital only. Dunno what's up with that retail listing.
Really? When was this confirmed?
 
Anybody here been playing Tell Tale's The Walking Dead? Have it for 360, but was hit with the save-wiping bug in E05. I haven't seen any impressions yet, so I'm just curious to how well it holds up in comparison to the other platforms in controls and stability.

*Push* Same for me. Loved the first 3 1/2 Episodes, got hit with a bug and couldn't get over the fact that I had to replay the whole game. On the Vita I'd maybe give it another chance but not without impressions.

Well, I actually just bought it and caved into starting it (retail version).

Here are my impressions in the OT so far, though I'm only just starting E01Ch2:

I've just gone through the dungeon a few times at the beginning of Persona 4...please say that the whole game isnt just going up the floors of that same castle over and over. Do you see different places to go through down the line?

There are a couple of different dungeons, but they overall play the same. Do yourself a favor and play on easy or the new beginners mode, if you just want to enjoy the story to shorten grinding and the dungeons.

There are different areas for each new case. It's not Persona 3
Thanks. This may be heresy, but I remember liking the dungeon crawling better in P3, but it's been a while so can't really remember why.
 
I like the battle system quite a bit so I actually enjoy the dungeons. For me it's less about what it looks like while running around and more about the fighting.
 
Twisted Metal Black Vita...I would be all over that.

Oh Hell Yes. Not even a new game just a HD port would be amazing. With online of course.
Black still stands as my favorite TM game, to bad the PS3 TM didn't live up to it.

I actually really liked the last Twisted Metal on PS3. Couldda been better, but it hooked me good. Vita TM? Fuck yeah, I'll take that for sure.

Any opinions on Sly Cooper: TiT? Saw it was $17 on Amazon.

Great game. Had a lot of fun with it. One of the best retail games on Vita, imo. Good price.
 
I was wondering, does anyone actually hold the Vita by the little hand grip indentions while playing?

P.S. my index fingers rest right behind the triggers. My middle and ring fingers rest across the rear touch pad and my thumbs are on the sticks. My pinkys rest underneath it, kinda holding it up.

There was one game where I found it best to hold it that way. The pinkies were even in the eyelets that are supposed to be for a carrying strap. (But index fingers on top of the triggers.) The Vita feels lighter that way, but precarious.
 
I feel dumb... I jumped on that Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time deal on Amazon...
instead of shipping directly to Singapore (which would be free due to an existing incomplete order), I shipped it to my US Courier... now I have to spend some money shipping it back :/

but here's looking forward to a fun game :D

(thinking whether I should sell the PS3 version of Dragon Crown.. it's still sealed... and the Vita version is more than fun!)

I'm actually in the exact same situation. I have the PS3 copy sitting here but I'm thinking of just downloading the Vita version and bringing the PS3 copy back. Hmmm....

1080p goodness or handheld goodness, can't decide!

I'm thinking of getting the PS3 version down the road when it is much cheaper :/
I got the PS3 version mainly for the artbook as I am totally digital on the Vita :/

oh well.
Is the PS3 version of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale worth it? I got the Vita version previously

You don't need the PS3 version if you already have the Vita version. It's the same thing on big screen, just different UI menu and grabbing objects is easier.. Should have bought the PS3 version that came w/ Vita version though.

hmm the Vita version/code came with my Black Friday Vita Bundle with AC:L and 3 Months of PS+ and the game
 
Future Shop and Best Buy had Vitas featured in this week's flyer and they listed Remote Play as a selling point. : / Excuse me while I puke.
 
Holy shit, someone hijacked the VitaGAF spreadsheet with colours.

I think I vomited a rainbow.

And it's apparently been spread to GameFAQs...
 
I just ordered a vita from amazon uk, comes with ten games and 8gb card.
But the reviews are saying the seals are ll broken and chargers and components look used. I expect it is old stock re-opened to put the cards and games voucher in the box.

Are you buying from a 3rd party seller?

Welcome to the brotherhood.
