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

did you have any trouble getting Always On Top? It's frustrating me so much!

Also, I have a feeling Hotline Miami 2 is going to be 10x better than the first.. and that's saying something.

Make sure you do all the variations of the same weapons like the pool cue, use it broken and normal
 
I hope that Neptunia game wasn't the Vita project Silicon Studio were involved in ...
No, that quote was specifically about them developing games, and Neptunia Rebirth is being done by Felistella using some of their middleware. Also, they only listed three upcoming games, and if that were to include outside developers licensing their software then they wouldn't have much of a middleware business, would they?
 
I'm getting sick of Content Manager.... seriously... this damn thing is so fucking useless and needless... and pointless...

1.) You have to be connected to the internet just to use it. Once again, hackers have to come to the rescue and fix a company's device for them. Open CMA is a life-saver in that regard.

2.) The fact that its the required go between Vita and transferring is annoying. Why can't I just hook it up to my PC, make a folder wherever I want and transfer things whenever I want. You know, like with any other fucking device made by a competent company?

3.) I can't do simple things like transferring pics, vids or whatever unless its updated to the latest firmware, CMA included.

4.) I've got a shitty PC with memory problems so I'm wary of backing things up onto it, so I tried instead to make some CMA folders on a removable USB stick to backup FFVII to make room for something else and what do you know, CMA doesn't allow it...

the whole thing is just a fucking pointless hassle and its easily the thing I hate the most about the Vita.... its otherwise my favorite game console ever, but Sony really managed to fuck up bad with CMA... they need to just stop using it....

I can't wait till hackers bust this fucking thing wide open and make it 10X the system Sony would've ever allowed it to be...
 
It's funny because hackers are the reason why Vita's so locked down, and are you saying Apple doesn't make competent hardware?! But yes, CMA sucks. It also sucks that we can't download Vita games on PC.
 
Seriously?
I got the Vita 2 pack screen protector from my brother and both of them have insane amounts of dust already on the screen..... And this is a product i cant return to GS. My brother is disappointed he wasted $12 on this piece of shit. XD

Hopefully amazon doesnt give me something like it. I got the same screen protector pack for $5 and the official Headset for $10. My brother should have looked at amazon first before spending $12 on a screen protector.

hackers ar ethe reason that the PSP was so fucking awesome, and we can even just exclude the allowance of piracy that hacks brought. Even without the piracy and emulators, hacking made the PSP such a better system.

But speaking of piracy, the reason the PSP got shunned later on was because of Sony's poor decisions. The system is doing perfectly fine in Japan even now. There was a time just a few weeks ago where the PSP had the top selling game that week for MC. Its only so fucked out of Japan because it was never properly advertised. The few western AAA games it received were never advertised. I don't remember a single commercial for GOW GOS. If hackcing was so fucking bad, then the PS2, Wii, GBA and DS should've bombed too... they didn't because Ninty and Sony did the right things then...

they're doing the same shit with the Vita.... where's the ads for Killzone Mercs?

no, hackers are just scapegoats and piracy's effect is massively overstated by Sony as evidenced by their own PS2 whcih was hacked to hell, and the DS and Wii which were massive success despite being hacked.... The measures they've gone to on PS Vita seriously piss me off...

EDIT*

@Takao, don't mean to come across as attacking you... CMA is just pissing me off right now... lol
 
I want to but I can't stand the old PS3 logo/binding. :/
hmm sigh. give me Folklore Vita

(every VitaGAF should get a tag)

you guys are like my go-to thread/family on GAF lol like how Vita is my go-to system

I know that feel. Foklore, MGS4 and Demon's Souls LE are the only old PS3 spine games that survived my purge.

And I'm considering buying the new Metal Gear collection to just to replace that spine :|
 
Okay, Killzone MP cleanup almost finished -- just need to get the stupid "Spangled" (tranq) trophy and the anti-air trophy... one should be easy -- the other? I don't think anyone but me uses the tranq gun in multi. :\

Actually -- anyone in here on my friend's list want to do a 1v1 match and tranq me and let met get up? ;)
Baron, I'm looking in your direction!
 
What's the cheapest place to get a USB cable? I picked up a Vita off Craigslist yesterday for a friend, but it didn't come with a cable or an AC adapter. While I picked up a couple of adapters when they were $3, I only have one cable left.

If there are any good knockoffs, I wouldn't mind getting one of those.
No one? :(

Yea sure, i need to get the help a teammate one is their a way we can be on the same team or should we get a third player?
I just read it wont work in a private match it has to be public. Does this game support parties?

We'd need a third for that one, I think.

I found it was not so hard to get if you follow around teammates while ghosted, especially on warzone with the hacking VAN-guards bits. I got 2-3 rescues in the span of 2 warzone games that way.

Getting tranq-ed, however, is proving much more difficult.

I got a few in the beta but i just want to get it over with so it wont effect my play style. Good strategy for it though. My psn is my gaf id just say who you are, i usually ignore requests that say nothing in them.
For the tranquilizer i got it but dont remember it happening lol
 
Did you play and enjoy any of the PS2 games? These are the exact same games, and all three are good, so if you like one you will probably like them all. I just played them in the order they were released (AC3, Silent Line, Last Raven).

They play rough on the PSP, but a workable control scheme can be found on the Vita. The games are much like Monster Hunter FU, in that they got a deserved second chance once they were playable on the Vita.

Thanks man. I never got the PS2 games so this looks like a treat. I think I'll play them in that order.

The lack of a demo for Killzone is really annoying me, I'm interested in the game but I won't buy it without trying it first.

The first mission (with contracts) would be a great demo for single player. Hopefully GG releases one in the future.

I had my doubts too but after playing a few missions it becomes obvious how replayable it is. The enemies react differently depending on what you do and there are multiple paths through each level. It's a step above other modern FPS games.

Best buy have genuine ones on clearance for $6.99 - don't get a knockoff
 
So day-1 digital doesn't always have preloading? I preordered GTA V, and I have to admit, I'm feeling pretty fucking duped right about now. Maybe steam has spoiled me, but I expected to have the game preloaded and ready to unlock at midnight. I would not have bought a digital copy if I knew I'd have to wait just as long anyways.

Grrrr.

Wrong thread?
 
So, SCEA's Third Party Production director, Gio Corsi is accepting recommendations for projects they should bring to PlayStation platforms. This can be a port, a localization, or even a new title. Time is ticking down, as he's stated this week will be the last.

I tweeted this list to him:

- Final Fantasy Type-0
- Digimon Adventure RPG
- Digimon World Re: Digitize
- Little Battlers eXperience / Little Battlers eXperience W
- The Last Ranker
- Valkyria Chronicles 3
- Suikoden: Centennial Tapestry
- Yakuza: Black Panther / Yakuza: Black Panther 2
- Medarot 7 (lol)
- Medarot DUAL (lol)
- NHL __
- Yu-Gi-Oh! __
- Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3

But...those are all Japanese games. :(
 
There's a Canadian game there too, but yeah, I wouldn't play a single one from that list. I guess that explains why Takao hates the Vita so much while I'm pretty happy with it.

NHL is so totally Japanese.

Oh I never noticed the NHL game listed on there. My point basically still stands though. I'm not a huge fan of Japanese games, and I completely agree with Massa in that I can understand why Takao is so negative all the time and I'm usually pretty happy.

I love my Vita but I would love a healthy dose of Japanese games

You have a great point. I'm no fan of Japanese games either.
I'm probably one of a few Vita lovers who doesn't even care much for P4G.

Also, I still actually want NHL on Vita.
 
YES! Someone on my friend's list helped me get Spangled. That was a chore... :lol:
Ok, Killzone Mercs MP trophies are done. Platinum now within reach someday.

So... you like FPS and WRPG and sports games and that's it?
I was under the impression you liked a wider variety of games. :P

The vita already has healthy japanese support.

It needs more support from western publishing houses tbh. Thus far, I think only Ubisoft has published significant games on the system. For the system to be successful in the west, Sony needs to somehow convince publishers like Rockstar, Take two, EA and so on to put games on the system. That is a tall order though, since the west has shown nothing but apathy towards handheld development.
 
I'd like to see Demons Souls (work with FROM), GTA 3 Anniversary + Vice City iOS ports brought over, Bioshock (of some sort) and Tales of Vesperia.

I should tweet this to Gio Corsi :/

Edit: tweeted it
 
The vita already has healthy japanese support but with no games at all coming to English-land, hahahahahaha I love you but fuck you Japan.

Fixed.
 
Plenty of Japanese games are getting released in "English Land" soon: Ys Celceta, Valhalla Knights 3, Sei Madou Monogatari (as "Sorcery Saga"), Demon Gaze, Toukiden, Dangan Ronpa, etc.

Yea, there are a few standout exceptions but there are many japanese published games coming over, and more will over time, if the 3rd party relations at sony do the necessary work.

The best way to increase the number of games coming over is simply to buy the games that are localized though. We need to convince japanese publishers that localisation is a profitable enterprise. Japanese companies are after all, not in the business of charity.

One of the ways to do this is to increase the install base in the west, and the west needs western ips first in order to do that.

It's not that I like NO Japanese games. I like platformers, adventures, rhythm, puzzle, action, shooters (third and first person), WRPGs, all sorts of stuff.

I don't like JRPGs, SRPGs, RTS, dating sims, and stuff like that.

Seems you mostly just don't like RPGs. :P
Dating sims don't really get ported to other regions.
RTS is more of a western genre and usually the bigger games are western developed.
