I didn't expect Zeno Clash 2, EDF 2017 nor Mamorukun to gon sale, but lo and behold~
Not even Xperia owners get to play this... Backwards ass Sony
Yoshida never said the plataforms. CVG ripped off from the interview and made up stuff to go with it.

Yup, could be iOS/Android/PSM/PS5/SNES/N-Gage for all we know.
We just need to reprogram his reading comprehension. Simple task.

Maybe one of the biggest knocks I can give toward FFX is the fact that even his so-called friends, his father, his mentor, and the goddamn love of his life never refers to Tidus with his nameJust you, him, or he. So bloody silly
Isn't think just because (like all FFs before) you can edit the main characters name to be whatever you like? They painted themselves into a corner there due to the voice acting.

Oh boy, I certainly hope that this reads right to left in terms of preference. I love me some FFIV.

A nice interview with Shu about "Vita, Vita TV and Sony's future". Rest of it coming tomorrow.
Note that he says that the Vita is "healthy" in Japan, since it has games coming, and that they "don't necessarily talk about catching up to the 3DS - but we'd like to increase the installed base of PS Vita". Good to hear.
EDIT: and here comes the thread about it to my face! http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=689009

Was reading about OLED displays in general and come across few downsides of the technology.
First was the "mura" effect, which on my Vita isn't that much of an issue. Saw the spots while playing Stealth inc last night in a dark room, but there are only few spots in the upper left and lower right corners on the screen. Kinda freaked me out, until I googled and found out it was "normal". ^^
While on the "mura" effect, there are few threads (one here, in gaf actually) about burn-ins on the display. Because this is my first device with OLED screen and I've never had plasma displays, can someone give me some advices on how to prevent such burn-ins. I know not to have static image for long periods of time, but other things like should brightness be all the way down/up, color of the background etc. Heard that the blue color is also problematic due to shorter lifespan, and everything (by default) in the vita is blue - the background, the icons, the buttons, even the psn.Kinda scary.
Local GameStop has those old bundles that include a year of Plus for $199 which is a great deal. Was very tempted but this whole burn in issue with the screen and the price of the memory cards is too worrying to me to pull the trigger.
The demo units I've seen are an absolute mess in regards to some hard core burn in.
I'm already a big time 3DS user (70+ game collection) but I am also a portable gaming whore....hehe
I'm not surprised at the burn-in of the demo units since they probably lack decent screen savers (if any at all). Hell, almost all the Samsung phones we have on display at work have massive burn-in, but my phone is perfectly fine even with heavy use.

the vita has a dimmer that kicks in after a short time of inactivity.
i've played my vita a ton and haven't experienced anything like burn-in

LOL, Sen no Kiseki's Vita version outsold the PS3 version on the first week. And it's a significant amount.
They should reduce that loading time by the time I get to Sen. Which from the looks of things would be around around the start of next year. T__T
I'm personally fine with ~15-ish load times, but 30 is a long one. :/

I wish there was a setting for that auto-dim feature. It's so annoying when I'm watching a cutscene in a game or going through long portions of dialogue.

im almost positive you can lengthen the time it takes to kick in
but i'm fairly certain you also can't just turn it off
That's standby mode for the entire screen.
Hopefully Falcom stick with the Vita for a while. God only knows how Vita need those small success developers cases.
Honestly, after the burn in on my Galaxy Nexus after not even two years of use, I am pretty much done with OLED on a device that uses a lot of static imagery. A phone is one thing, but a portable device that I would plan to keep...well...forever? My OCD would go into fits of craze that would be legendary in proportion.
Besides, I need to just keep reminding myself of my backlog and move on. I don't need another system.....so freaking tempting though.

get the LCD ones for the Vita 2000
It would need a US release under $199. Even then, this bundle I was looking at included a year of PS+ which was one of the reasons I was going to pull the trigger.
We'll see. Maybe I'll come back in a few months and reanalyze everything.
Same here. It'd be nice if the same lighting principle that applies to YouTube and video content would apply to games.

No mention of DC, so I assume they'll put up a separate post/update for Friday.

Seriously in NA, what the fuck is up with The Spryo, Crash Bandicoot PS1 games for vita?
I mean what the fuck is taking soo fucking long b. It's like Sony stopped, this is fucking bullshit man.
Why the fuck isn't there more PS one classics on PSN for vita, can't someone here with twitter ask yoshida what's up with that? I MEAN CMON MAN!

If that's about DC cross-play, then yeah, that's one of my few complaints against the game.
As far as your list, having FFVIII first got you a ton of points, but then you went and threw XII and IV behind II? Lost 'em all... now you're on the "used to be cool" list.
Seriously. FFII was one of the worst JRPGs I ever played -- I slogged through it just because I knew I was near the end, but everything in that was terrible to me. MQ is a better game than FFII.
Maybe one of the biggest knocks I can give toward FFX is the fact that even his so-called friends, his father, his mentor, and the goddamn love of his life never refers to Tidus with his name
Actually, I find it to be refreshing.
But of course, they have to "ruin" it with stories about magical overlords screwing around with fates. Ahhh if only they just stuck with political stuff.... (my same disappointment with FFT)
Not only was the politics in FFXII boring, the characters were all pretty much interchangable, especially in terms of party consistency. There was no reason not to just use the 3 you visually found appealing ... so my party was always Fran/Balthier/Vaan. I couldn't even tell you the other 3 because I don't care about them and they made no impression on me really. Fran was the only one I truly liked, though Balthier was cool in his own right and I found Vaan more tolerable than most (but you could say the same of me for XIII with Snow too).
Anyway, they'll almost never do VA stuff where they'll refer to people as their names, since you can change them... and how silly would you feel if you named Tidus "James" or something and they constantly called him Tidus in all the cutscenes but James in all the text?
I like the cut of your jib, sir.

Hmpf, New Little King's Story (thanks PS+) has some serious slowdown. Barely playable. :/

It's not a laughing matter. Part of me is allied with him. I want my fucking R-Types, R-Type Delta, and Crash Bandicoot 1-3 (especially 1) on my Vita.
Nah its just that it sucks like real bad.
I mean cmon man the hell are they doing???!!!
Someone with twitter need to ask Yoshida what the fuck is up!!!!!!
It's playable still but it is seriously unoptimised.
Never felt that bad to me outside of the town/hub area, where I didn't really need it.

the subject material wasn't comical
it was the style in which it was presented i found amusing

In this case, the answer is already known. The games are owned by Activision, and they refused to put those games on the vita. Confirmed by a gaf insider, famousmortimer I believe.
I actually think this is expected. The game was never going to do gangbusters.
Just beat and platinum'd Gravity Rush. Holy crap what a great game. The combat was a little shallow, but I used the snot out of the gyroscope. Best use of gyro I've ever experienced.
Man, awesome game. Getting the next Gravity game day one now. Starting up Rayman next, and Muramasa is in the mail from Gamefly. Gonna be a good Vita weekend.

How come its playable for VITA owners in the UK with UK psn accounts or in Japan? Last time I heard.
if not then fuck activision.
God damnnit Naughty Dog and Insomiac fucked up by letting these franchises go to shitty activision
oh wow already? mite go pick one up then. that free rayman on PS+ got me hooked
the one and only true rank of the series according to my own holy word
I love them all in their own way though
Regarding the burn-ins, from what i'm reading around the forums is mostly caused by using apps with static UI for long period of time. Apps like the web browser and youtube's one are the primary culprits in most cases. Guess I wont be using them and will stick to just playing games, which is the point of the console, imo.
I dunno. Ask activision. You can check out the post http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=82927349&postcount=4791 if you are interested.

Love this game!!
1000 feels. I feel you... I literally wanted a Vita so I could play Spyro on the go... Imagine that...
I've been pretty hype about Vita's future future line-up, with Mighty No. 9 , Hyper Line Drifter , Samurai Gunn , and a bunch others, There is seriously some cool shit coming down the line.
and they said Vita would die.... Vita TV is gonna crack heads open

I'm very susceptible to slowdowns, sadly :/
Well, not like I'm strapped for games, it was just sitting there, waiting to be played.

Hi, this was one instance of mistakenly citing iOS as a destination platform. Apologies for this - we have corrected the article.
Elsewhere in the interview, Yoshida discusses his desire to expand the PlayStation experience to other devices, and only then cites iOS and Android:
"Lots of people don't seek out game-specific info - they're busy. But because they use social network services, App Stores... Let's push our info to them. That's why we are creating the hook, releasing the official PlayStation apps on Android and iOS at the launch of PS4."
