I guess am just a sucker for sales

Now I just need more free time to spend with my Vita


Let me know what you think of the rabbit game and EDF
 
I like it.

I liked it too. Haven't had the urge to play it lately, but I still have it on my card and need to finish it up.

The "rabbit game" is kind of like Super Meat Boy... not as fast/twitch, but it gets reasonably difficult quickly, especially if you're trying to get perfects on the levels.
EDF is not the most... refined gameplay... but for some reason, it's kind of satisfying and fun. I've always thought it looked janky as hell, and it kind of is, but it's pretty fun.
 
EDF Players:

What's the best control scheme? The default only had 4 buttons defined and seemed odd... so I used the "basic" but I didn't like it much... it moved fire off the shoulder button which is good, but right stick ended up being quick roll?

HELP!

jUST use Default it's what I use. You're playing this game to slaughter giant insects, just keep your distance shower them with bullets, etc. and roll and jump around to collect dropped items.
 
REALLY fun game, though it's so ugly with the sub-native resolution. We need to have some of us play the game online again. We've had a lot of fun in the past playing online with like 8 VitaGAFers.

Yeah, I've always been a sucker for Everybody's Golf and while it's a shame that it's sub-native I don't find myself minding that much with games that have more cartoony artstyles.

Dude, Everybody's Golf is gorgeous on the Vita. And I have no idea how anyone can tell that a game is running at what resolution.
 
Probably a dumb question, but I don't need a PS3 to buy PS1 games for my Vita right?

edit: This is dumb. I can't find Legend of Dragoon through my Vita.

I'm not good at telling this stuff either (which I guess is good, since it allows me to enjoy games more), but just for reference, does anyone know which of the following Vita games are native res and at how many fps the run?

- P4G
- Uncharted GA
- MGS HD collection
- Gravity Rush
- Wipeout
- Rayman Origins
- Disgaea 3
 
Why are you not working Youtube. Why are you telling me to sign in when I'm already signed in. Then I try to sign in and you won't let me.

And yes my Vita is authorized to use my Google stuff.

I just want to lay in bed and watch Youtube videos before I go to sleep :(
 
Can I download games straight to PC then Vita?

Unfortunately no. And some of the PS1 classics aren't on the Vita's store for some reason. The only option for these games are to dl them to PS3 and then transfer them over. I believe Legend of Dragoon is one of these (at least in the US)

I guess Sony doesn't like money. >:| Media Go worked supported it.

I believe so...here's how I understand it:
If you go to
Sonyentertainmentnetwork.com
Click on a PSX or PSP game you bought and it'll be downloaded to your PC to use with Content Manager.
i haven't used it myself though, but its worth a try with a small sized PSX game.

EDIT: BEaten, but I think Vita compatible games at least can be transfered via PC?

Strangely enough, a few PS1 and PSP games can only be copied to Vita via a PS3. Seems to be the case of Legend of Dragoon.

Here's a list of PS1 games compatible with Vita:

Sorry, nope :(
 
These shots will impress like 3 people. One of them will get mad, as I plan on tweeting it at him.

Hi Chubigans.

Dammit man. Give me your trophies!!

Guys, how do I have fun with Vahalla Knights? I've been playing for like 90 minutes...
 
I see some of you guys picked up Kung Fu Rabbit with the sale. It's a decent platformer for the price... pretty iOSy, though. I'm not gonna delete it til I finish it, but I did get through all the regular levels to unlock the harder difficulty. Need to go back to it.
 
hey guys, I'm trying to set up some nice looking wallpapers for the vita, but when I set it as a lockscreen or wallpaper the quality of the picture goes way down. anyone else experiencing this issue?

Yup, Vita compresses the screens a lot when putting them as a background for some reason. It really sucks, but I hope they change it in a future update.

I remember someone saying it was to prevent the overflow hack from ever happening again. Then again, that sounds like Bull. More likely, they just need to fix it. Or auto-resize the picture by cutting out the outer line of pixels. Kat doesn't look good when she's all compressed and artifacted.

ouch that sucks big time. oh well, for the moment I guess I'll just force myself not to look at the wallpapers too closely :) hoping that they fix it soon.

Ya, I just avoid using wallpapers at all anymore because it bothers me too much. I guess it doesn't look too bad though.
 
Hang on. So the game doesn't even appear on the Vita download list even if it was purchased through other means? :/

Jeez Sony. You didn't have to take "Vita as a companion device" too far.
If it hasn't been officially recognised as supported on the Vita, they don't allow it to be bought or downloaded direct to the device.

If the game is compatible with Vita but not via direct download, you will see it on your Vita's download list, but it will tell you you can not download it using a Vita.

Not sure about FPS, but:
Subnative resolution:
- P4G
- Uncharted GA
- MGS HD collection
- Gravity Rush

Native resolution
- Wipeout (variable resolution, but native majority of the time. Drops to subnative every now and again)
- Rayman Origins
- Disgaea 3

30 FPS for all games on the list except
Rayman and Disgaea, which are 60.

For resolution, you can follow this handy rule of thumb:
Vita original - usually native(with few exceptions), or at least with AA
PS3 port - usually native, often with AA
Wii port - native with AA
NDS port - native with AA
PSP port - native with AA
PC indie port - native (with AA if applicable)
...
PS2 port(or remake) - subnative with no AA
 
I wonder how it will look on Vita
Excellent! I hope for the best :)

The Full Bore devs are talking to Sony about PS3 and Vita ports. Lets just say you should all be very excited about this:

Probably going to land in my Indie games goty list this year.
I always welcome metroidvanias that like knytt underground focus on exploration and on the use of brain more than on fights.

EU VitaGAF, I'm planning to buy the Killzone Mercenary + 8GB bundle next week. Does KZ come in a game card or a voucher for download?
Probably a voucher
killzone-mercenary-psvita-bundle_0398039800388358.png
 
As much as it's a flawed game on PC - and I'm guessing moreso on tablet - I'd love to see ARMA Tactics on the machine down the line.

I just need some decent, non-fantasy strategy fare on Vita.
 
What size memory card do you have, by chance? (Just curious as to how much of it the Killzone patch would eat up.)

16 and a 4, hoping the 32 comes back in stock locally so I can get in on the BB deal. I've got 6 remaining if I leave Uncharted on there. Leaning P4G and EDF. I will probably crack and get the physical version of KZ soon too.

Edit - also, what's a good way to do giveaways on here? I have a download code for Walking Dead with no plans to play it. I'd like to give it to an active member, not just a random lurker.
 
edit:nevermind

I really wish I took advantage of AC Liberation on sale like $12 last week, didn't think I have Vita just that best buy 32GBmemory card sale and I wanted to get the OLED system, even though think the 2000 has some better features, direct view it even looks slightly better in some videos just changes in viewing angles is bad. I need to spend $20 more for Nov $40 credit, thinking EarthDefense Force or still picking up AC:L

I'd like it, if no one's claimed it.

EDIT: My bad, missed the earlier post.
