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

Congrats.

Get Persona 4 Golden, try Soul Sacrifice demo and buy Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure, (it's a fantastic PSP action RPG)

outside of streaming PS3 games on Vita you can use Vita as a cross controller for some PS3 games (Sly, LBP2, MvC3, Guacamelee)

Add spelunky as a way to do cool co-op between the Vita and PS3.

The 3D elements blend so beautifully in motion. It's really striking.
 
Anybody else have Rayman Legends yet? I'm wondering if the challenge mode is not working for anyone else. Says the servers are unavailable or something, but its been hours.

The challenges servers do seem unavailable, just tried my Legends Vita copy.

Game looks smashing and beautiful, but the lighting and shadows from the other versions don't seem dynamic on the characters :(
 
ughhh i want rayman legends so bad. loved origins.

girl and i just dropped 10k on the new apartment.

so broke :(
 
You are not alone, Im looking for an apartment now, and I still have to put money toward my PS4 and X1 preorders. Damn I need more money.
Same boat I am in, fellow Gaffer. Could be why I was buying everything and everything at a stupid discount. Now - GTA 5, PS4 (halfway there), and maybe the XB1 (if funds allow) are my remaining purchases for the year that I have yet to allocate money too really. I figured since I was going to be broke from the apt, might as well increase my backlog NOW so I have tons to keep me occupied later :D

Hopefully, this method won't ruin me!

Hmm are you sure? I have spent a couple hours on this Vita version and have spent many many hours on the Wii U demo/Challenge app, and didn't really notice a difference in lighting. Not saying you're wrong, though.

Holy Jaggies, Affleck! (or is that just because of bad jpg?)

The 3D elements don't have AA in any of the versions. You simply cannot see the jaggies in motion. At all. It's only in screenshots.

hehe yeah I was thinking about trading in some stuff so I can put towards my preorders. Killzone Merc, Rayman, Puppeteer, and AA Blackgate may have to wait just feel bad spending money on those when I still have two consoles to pay off and not enough funds.Gaming is expensive during the end of Summer. @ jon yeah congrats a friend of mines just bought his girl a ring. Speaking of rings I have to get my girl a nicer one come the holidays.I was thinking about cancelling my PS4 preorder too but I gotta have that Killzone.
 
Just wait a few weeks and get the retail copy for super cheap.

not a bad idea, but i'm all digital

i canned my ps4 preorder... gonna save up for a ring for my girl first. i'm not salty about that, though - i always like to wait a year for more titles to drop and hardware issues to get sorted
 
Got my Vita, it's lovely!

I've transferred all my Vita and PSP games across from my PS3 but Content Manager isn't showing up any PSOne games I have:

Resident Evil 2
Arc the Lad
Silent Hill

Is there another way to copy them across? Directly onto the Vita perhaps, or are those games not compatible with PS Vita?

Better solution: ditch the Xbone pre-order. $500+ is a nice chunk toward a ring. Also, good luck with that. :)

Do you still have the install bubbles?
RE2 might not be compatible any more in EU... not sure what region you're in.

Ohh I need the bubbles? Of course! I am in England, I do recall something about RE2 not working on Vita.

Yes. You need the install bubbles for a game to show as "transferable" in content manager. I believe this is why the PSOne downloads no longer delete their install bubbles once installed, in case you want to transfer to a PSP or PSVita. Good luck.

The lighting seems present and ambient light (a fire) will cast orange into the character, but shadows and stuff don't seem to cast dynamically on Rayman. Not 100% certain, but that's how it seems to me. Still a visually beautiful game, though!

Side note:

Off to work, if anyone purchased AtelierMururu +, I want detailed impressions and I want to know about the visual quality (native resolution, lighting, shadows, textures etc)

^_^

Thanks for clearing that, I'll try RE2 again. We got the NTSC version on the UK PSN, hope it works on Vita as its one of my favourite games.
 
Why does Rayman Legends have gyroscope gimmicks? Looks like I'll be picking up the full game on PS3 or Steam then. :/
 
My Vita arrived today, it's a lot bigger than I thought it would be but it is really nice. I've put some PS+ games on it and gravity rush is pretty decent as is Lumines.

I also tried remote play but what exactly can you use it for if you're not allowed to use PS3 games?

Welcome to the family! When you first see it the Vita seems huge. But once you've actually played for two or three days, you would learn that is... perfect.

not a bad idea, but i'm all digital

i canned my ps4 preorder... gonna save up for a ring for my girl first. i'm not salty about that, though - i always like to wait a year for more titles to drop and hardware issues to get sorted

Good luck with that, man. But if you have both preordered i would recommend you to drop the X1. Having a Vita, I think the PS4 offers more value. Same opinion as @corrosivefrost

Can someone actually tell me if this is true? If it is, it's sad. One of my main reasons for buying a Vita was for playing lots of classics I skipped when I was a kid. I go from the SNES (a cousin gives it to me with a dozen of games) to the PS2. So I haven't played most classics of that gen.
 
They did it on consoles too I believe. It's so they can maintain 1080p (or native Vita res in this case) whilst maintaining 60fps on all platforms.

huh but it's 2D game,I guess it's fine to do that on Vita but PS360 should handle this with AA at 1080p/60fps :/

oh well I'll force shit tons of AA and downsampling the hell out of it on my PC then.

*hug gtx 780 and wait for steam sale*

Congrats, buy Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure.

they should be/are compatible with Vita, just don't install them on PS3.

Yes, Killzone time!

it's not Sep 10 yet :(

Hmm yeah not sure. I just tried playing a level from both versions at the exact same time and they seemed indistinguishable. And I was trying to look HARD.

Truth, first time i get a system that i dont want a redesign,only thing i would like is hdmi out

I don't know why any experienced gamer trips off screenshots. Anybody in this hobby should know that you can only judge a game in motion.

Screenshots are pretty much always better or worse than how a game appears in actuality.

dunno about that, I bought a new handheld in august,now a month later it's still huge as a tank. however I got stronger (lolz) so it don't hurt my arms now but it's still damn big .

I never thought Vita was big, its size is pretty much almost perfect.

I'm not 'murican :)

I'm not as well but I imported from Obamaland :(
 
Do we know what exactly has been cut from the Vita version of Rayman Legends?

Amazon hasn't shipped my copy yet, and I'm thinking of cancelling (and go Wii U instead) if the Vita version turns out to be too gimped.

You can also use RemotePlay to play them off your PS3.

PS3 and Steam have those some gimmicks, but you press a button instead. Those levels (which is a good chunk of the game) were designed to be played in local multiplayer with the Wii U gamepad.
 
has anyone actually played that gurmin game toto keeps trying to push onto new vita bros? i'm assuming it sucks, and it's probably not good to have him be the welcoming face for this community. didnt he say he's leaving soon?

i only buy one console per gen and this time its a PS4

as much as i ignore toto - seriously i havent read one of his posts for like 5 months,

he has good taste in games - at least from what he suggests. im sure that gurumin game is pretty decent.

i agree though all new vita bros/broettes need to read the toto disclaimer before feeding his trollisms.
 
I can vouch for Gurumin. I played it years ago though, so don't ask me anything specific about it (I just remember that I enjoyed it long enough to complete it).

you are a good Vita kitten <3

every one should buy Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure, it's my best PSP game of all time, a great and charming Action RPG with amazing cast, dialogue, platforming, puzzles and nice (very nice when mastered) combat system and it's even better on Vita because the camera issue is gone now using the right stick.
 
Update: Browsed the PSN "Download List" on Vita itself and located RE2 on there, it appears to be downloading OK so far. Will update.

Question, can you background download on Vita whilst playing a game?
