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

Eugh, that yellow discolouration is definitely off-putting when compared to the OLED.

Depends on the photos. The LCD looks better than the OLED here IMO:

I need to figure out how to do this properly (awaiting your guide, sir!) so that I can knock out that 500,000 trophy and then not worry about score for a long time.

I would limit ghosting to just vaults for the time being. Without a jet pack, ideally you'd want a shotgun and spring shoes. It's all about maneuvering yourself to open areas, waiting to pull death to that area, getting past him, then resuming your gathering. Often times, as you pull death to corners, you'll want to pull him through gem deposits to morph them to diamonds, then pulling him elsewhere, then collecting them.

It's not far fetched to get 150k on specific levels (usually a vault included)

The particular level i died carelessly on had about 15-20 gem deposits I was ghosting and collecting. It was in the temple which adds to the difficulty, but you'll usually find 2-3 areas that are easier to get around death.
 
Seeing those comparision pics with my Vita makes me see a bigger difference.

I started Uncharted. Aiming really is as bad as people say.I put sensivity at max and even aiming help. The game is playable once you get used to gyros, so I'll probably swich off autoaiming soon.

The OLED Vita catches a lot of light though, which fucks up the colors as well.

I don't get what the comparison pictures are supposed to prove anyway. It's not like you can see the actual (real life) difference like when you would hold them side to side yourself. Especially with the different angles of both systems in the two available pictures.
Then you also have to take into consideration that the images are displayed on your mobile/tablet/laptop screen...
 
Do we have any detail on this title. I mean is there anything new or it is just a re-release with all the DLC?
Inafune talked about there being a new, third alignment for the players to choose, and some sites are also reporting there will be tweaks/improvement to gameplay and existing content.
 
I just started up my Vita after a long, long time and that Icon Anti-aliasing is tasty. Will take me a while to download all the game updates.
 
Neutral actually being a valid alignment is what has my interest peaked.
It's been awhile since I played SS, but how is it not valid currently?
I thought Divine/Holy got the short end of the stick since Neutral can lock down bosses for much longer periods of time and deal more damage.

Neutral has been a great alignment ever since the first or second DLC hit.

You never should have left!
 
Well, mine was checked and didn't work during Sleep, I unchecked it, works perfectly.

It's really, really weird :lol


Then I don't understand!! :D I'll swop mine around now, kick off a download and see what happens. How weird.

Are there two sleeps? Like a basic one when the screen shuts off, then a full-on one after longer period of time? It's the only thing I can think of that might be causing the difference.

Super Weirdly:
POWER SAVE WIFI CHECKED: Started download, pressed power button to sleep device. Turned back on, download had carried on during sleep
POWER SAVE WIFI UNCHECKED: Pressed power button to sleep device. Turned back on, download had carried on during sleep

I don't understand!


EDIT: Let it run 500mb on each setting and neither pauses the download during sleep. But, I then did it that when it was charging and in sleep, and the PS button starts to glow red, it would have paused the download when I woke the PSV up. This occurred with it CHECKED, so in reality it shouldn't have paused.

With that in mind, I agree with the comments that it's actually backwards wording. However, I don't think it happens unless the PSV is charging at the same time.

Maybe.
 
Wonder if they'll offer Soul Sacrifice as a PS+ game soon? With the new game coming in Q1 (Maybe Japan though only?), they might put it up for us :)

Things happening and keeping me busy. But yeah, I got lots of catching up to do. I am currently crawling the Vita releases of the past 5-6 months or so seeing what I need to pick up. Also why did you change your username if you are who I think you are?
 
Anyone knows why my downloads get paused when the Vita goes into standby/sleep mode?

Is there anyway to prevent that?

I have that Wi-Fi sleep mode thing on, and it's been fine for a long time... where a download would only pause after like 20-30 minutes of inactivity towards the end of it. DL'ing that KZM patch yesterday, it kept stopping in sleep mode almost right away, for some reason.

It seems like, if they did do that, then Delta wouldn't be coming out here. If all the hold outs got vanilla for free, very few of them would buy Delta.

I'm definitely waiting for it to come to PS+. I'll buy the retail version sometime too. I just think PS+ would do wonders for an online heavy game like SS, basically giving it a second (and longer lasting) life. From what I've heard some of the earlier levels can be pretty barren when it comes to activity.
 
So Lemmings Touch VITA trailer was released today
Eurogamer said:
Classic puzzle platformer series Lemmings will march onto PlayStation Vita in the form of Lemmings Touch.

The title will (unsurprisingly) rely on touch controls to select a Lemming and then assign them a role, developer d3t Ltd told the EU PlayStation blog.

Lemmings Touch includes a raft of new levels and a toolbox of new items, such as cannons and trampolines, all controlled by a deft swipe or tap with your fingertips.

"There is also a twist," d3t's Jamie Campbell teased. "Not all Lemmings are quite what they seem. Stay tuned for future announcements when we'll reveal more." Spoilers: some of them are actually capybaras.

Takao might be happy with this news, lol

Soul Sacrifice Delta is my second must have game for 2014 (the first is FFX HD), so I'll wait until it's released in the West. I'm not planning on buying the original game because what you've said about early levels. I seriously hope they release it in PS+

It seems that Phantasy Star Nova is that big title that Shahid was hinting. It starts with a P, it's third party, not a port neither an indie. And it's a veeeery long game. If he was talking about it, i suppose the game is coming to the West. Maybe Sony is helping SEGA with localization costs.
 
Do people use a bunch of different personas when they play P4G? I would constantly use the best persona I could in P3P, but since you can get cards that give your active persona stat boosts, I've exclusively been using Izanagi.

As a result I have almost maxed out the stats on him. He's slightly under leveled, but occasionally I'll run into several LVL UP cards in a row that bounce him back up. I've also gotten so many SKILL UP cards that he now has Fist of God or whatever, which does an insane amount of damage.
 
I saw that there are lot of psm games this week on the eu store, i went to psnstores to know more about them... They are ALL(except one) from the same developer and ALL are reskin of the same psm sdk demo(except one that is a reskin of another demo)... Lol
 
I think it is reasonable to assume that Soul Sacrifice Delta can come to the states within a month or two just like the original. Correct me if i am wrong but the original was released in Japan in March and in US/EU at end of April.
 
Battery life has also improved by an hour -- it's now rated at 4-6 hours instead of 3-5 -- and better yet, the new Vita 2000 will retail for 18,980 yen (US $190), a big price drop over the current model, which costs over $300 in Japan.

via CNET. What??
 
Well, shit. I paid for and tried to download Killzone and the download screwed up so I cancelled it and went back to start the download fresh again and the store charged me twice. Anyone ever experience this?
 
This doesn't tell me if I can just buy the DLC or if I have to fork out $40 for a brand new game. :(
If it's a brand new game? I'm think I'm out. After 160 hours in the original, I just do not have the desire to do it again.
Same here. Fingers crossed for a patch + expansion DLC instead of having to buy the full game.

Maybe.
Basically the real intent of the wording is like this

Use "wifi in power save mode", as in the wifi is in a mode that will save battery, so it automatically disabled after it went to sleep for a while.

Not "use wifi" in "power save mode", which implies that wifi will still work in power save mode, which we assume is the sleep state.

So you need to uncheck that box if you want vita to keep downloading stuff in sleep mode

I'm still silently hoping it will be an epic sized new Patapon game.

I'm also secretly hoping for a glorious return of Patapon on the Vita.

PS Nova trivia: Phantasy Star Nova has a dev team of 200 people, with 70 of them being part of the core dev team from Tri-Ace.
 
You know, I thought I had found a workaround for the Vita getting borked when I go to download something and then having to force it to power off and reboot. I had started going into Airplane Mode before each download try and that seemed to work...until yesterday when I did it, went to download something, and it got borked.

Not that I have had the revelation that you actually need to uncheck the box for WiFi Power Save to get it to not stop downloading, I wonder if this will change this any.
