Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | September 2013 | Token Indie Thread

How is Soul Sacrifice? Is it any good? I fell in love with Monster Hunter Ultimate (500ish hours), but the SS demo...I dunno.

There is a used copy at GameStop that I'd considered purchasing (26$), but then I'd need an online pass, right?

Honest opinions welcome, now that the game has been out a while.

I love MH as well, and SS just couldn't hook me. I guess there are people who love both; I haven't seen many though.
 
I like the concept and combat of MH, but never had enough time to commit, nor anyone about to coop with.

Soul Sacrifice has always struck me as a little strange to compare to MH, but for the sake of argument, I really like the fast, compact boss rush take on the 'hunting genre' that SS proffers. I didn't initially care for it, but after spending some time with it, I fell in love.

Great game.
 
for Bravely Default situation what Takao mean is it's because of Nintendo is publishing it in NA/EU, so Vita only chance to get it is in Japan (because Nintendo don't have the publishing rights for the game in Japan)
Publishing rights don't necessarily cover additional platforms or "new" versions of a game (Ninja Gaiden -> Sigma). Not that a Bravely Default Vita port seems likely, but I'm sure SE wants to have its iOS options open.

Just wait. I think it has a fairly chance of being free in PS+. Moreover online in the lower levels and Avalon Pacts is deserted. I was thinking about buying it, but I will get Toukiden when it hits instead. The hunting genre Vita comunity will probably move to that game.
 
Memory cards also aren't as ludicrous, though they're still expensive. A 32GB is $83 at EB, whereas it used to be $114.

Damn, I want the 32gb... Might have to settle for 16gb though as it's 'only' $45.

Can I download the games straight to my PC and transfer them to the vita, or I need to download them to Vita and then store them on PC?

Well yeah but BD guys mentioned in interviews that they have Vita project in works (which probably is wholy diffrent game)
 
I made another tweet to @giocorsi requesting vita ports of old and new big pc games like might & magic 6, heroes of might & magic 3, star wars knight of the old republic, torchlight, sim city, starcraft, homeworld, x etc.
 
Why is the messaging app on Vita so damn awful? Even the simple act of just replying to a message is ridiculously hard on Vita. A nice simple reply to message option would be nice Sony. Hell, even by manually going on to create message and attempting to send a message to someone on my friends list isn't simple. Create message> add recipent from friends list > ok. It still doesn't actually bring up the option to type a message to that person. So I figure maybe once I've done that I have to click on the create message bit at the bottom of the screen. So I type my message and guess what happens? It sends a message to myself instead of the friend. What. The. Fuck. In the end I had to just turn my PS3 on and use that in order to reply to the message. The messaging app on Vita is beyond a joke.

You honestly sound like an old person who can't use a computer. The Vita app is NOT that horrible.
 
No worries, cheers. So what's the average size of a full Vita game (ie Uncharted/Wipeout/Killzone)? Just wondering how many games I can hold on a 16gb card, around 4?


Closer to 6 to 8 depending on what games you choose. Most games on the vita are not that large. Throw in a couple of smaller titles. And you can have a dozen games on the system.

Retail averages 2-3gb and indie titles at least 2D ones are usually 500mb or less. My rough guess from the amount I've acquired.
 
Just open the message the previous guy sent you and key in your reply at the bottom of the screen. Iirc

Alternatively, touch the create message icon, manually add your desired recipients, and key in your message.

I did both of these and it sent a message to myself. Maybe my app is messed up? I'm gonna try again.

Maybe the message did send over to your friend? Iirc, you will see the message you sent to him on your side as well. It is a threaded message system, so all your conversations are recorded on the same page I think.
 
Killzone preload also didn't work for me and I have over 7GB free memory space in anticipation of the coming games.

Did it work for anyone here or is the preload just not working right now?

That's possible. The thing that makes me not so sure about that is that when I turn my PS3 on and check my messages there it says I've received the message I sent from my Vita but it doesn't have the message anywhere in my sent box. Though it does on the Vita but but I juist don't understand why it would be in my inbox on PS3 but not in my sent messages box on PS3. I'll find out soon enough for sure if my message got to the other person and get back to this thread then.

I would guess its a bug or glitch because the few times I have used the message app I just typed the message at the bottom and hit send. Pretty simple.

bare in mind it keeps both the messages from the friend and the ones you send on the same screen. like a conversation.

I also never had a problem using the group messaging app. Still, it's time for them to integrate the friends, message and party app.

Have you ever sent a message on Vita and then have it appear in your inbox on PS3? The message appearing in my inbox in PS3 is what makes me think it's just sending a message to myself and not the other person.
 
Sigh I'll mark the day when amazon introduced free delivery to Poland on orders above 25 pounds as one of happiest days of my life.

Shops in Poland still are selling memory cards for old prices.

Have you seen if Amazon Premium has free delivery? It's 15 euros a year, it may be less than you are spending in delivering fees.

I messed english tenses a bit - it's already in effect for quite a lot of time ;)
but it makes me happy now due to how slow price drop happens in here.
 
Do we have some Vitamuffins with capture cards here?
Because someone really needs to creat a gif from the reload animation of the VC8 in Killzone.
 
Killzone: Mercenary Preload is available to download now in Europe, press the "Download" button in the Download List section (if you preordered it).

Where the hell is lone survivor guess the dev gave up on a summer release. That one was announced before Hotline Miami to.
 
Rayman Legends tomorrow! And Kickbeat! Amazing week.

It's all about perspective, I guess. :P
Enjoy! :)

Ohh its the 2nd. I should be able to download my KZ pre-order today ready for friday release.

I hate you.
This is why SCEA sucks for not doing pre-orders.
Someone at SCEE just needs to slap the hell out of SCEA and start doing things for them.

Don't have a PS3 so I cant test anything I am afraid.

Does sound a bit strange though.

This is normal. Annoying, but normal. Everything from Vita appears in your PS3 inbox, pretty much.

Saturday, September 21
The last day of the (astronomical) summer (Northern Hemisphere) 2013.

that whole game needs to be a gif.
 
When I first picked up the Vita (have owned it since Day 1), for around the first year of owning it, Near never reported more than 4 people playing nearby. It was definitely an indication of how the Vita itself was really struggling.

Last night, it reported 31 people were playing nearby. I would say the price drop really did the system itself some good.

Yeah. If you send a message from your Vita, you'll receive a copy of it yourself.

The reason a sent message isn't in your sent messages on PS3 is because you sent it from your Vita and it's normal. Don't worry about the other person not receiving your message, I've never had such an issue with PS3 or Vita.

I didn't know this was available for preorder on the store until just now. I've just preordered it and it's not in my download list. Though it did say when I preordered it that it would be automatically downloaded soon. I assume it will be in my download list at some point soon, just not right away?

Edit: Ok it turns out it is in my download list. Just not at the top for some reason.
 
Don't really know what Gamer Fuzion is, but they have a video review of the Vita version out here.

Edit: lol forgot to mention that it's for Rayman Legends. Whoops.
