Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | October 2013 | Ver 2000, Batman and some Angry Birds

I'm pretty tired of telling Toto he's wrong, but I'll concede that the AI can be pretty bad in DC. However, even with the AI as it is, DC remains one of my top games of 2013.

Lluckily, the AI usually get most of it right, even if they're clumsy about how they manage to do it. While they're not great in areas where they have to avoid environmental hazards and sometimes they just stand around looking dumb, solo'ing the Demon King or getting those speed times on the Ancient Dragon wouldn't be possible without AI help and the AI did a good enough job getting damage dealt out.
 
Currently these are what I have in Vita:

DJMax Technika Tune, DOA5Plus, Dragon's Crown, Muramasa Rebirth, NFS Most Wanted, Rayman Origins, Soul Sacrifice, The Walking Dead, Touch My Katamari, WipEout 2048, Uncharted: Golden Abyss, AC III Liberation, Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention, Gravity Rush, Killzone Mercenary, Persona 4 Golden...

Dokuro, Machinarium, Super Stardust Delta, Mutant Blobs Attack, Pinball Arcade, Hotline Miami, Knytt Underground, Zen Pinball 2, Guacamelee!, Thomas Was Alone...

Gods Eater Burst, GTA: Liberty City Stories, Metal Slug XX, Valhalla Knights...

Breath of Fire 4, Harvest Moon Back to Nature.

I have 58 bucks on my wallet right now and I am bloody confused on what games should I buy next. 1.5 GB on MC left, but I can swap and erase as necessary if required... so guys, recommend me games to buy please :)

No Spelunky? I thought you were cool man...
But seriously grab it, is close to being my most played Vita game even after playing the original PC version to death.
Sound Shapes needs to be in your list too, short but great game.

I would also recommend Atelier Totori and EDF, great time sinkers.
 
AI for both your AI controlled companions and enemies are pure trash, the funny thing is having AI companions increases enemies health so you make the entire thing even more awful using them.

really Dragon Crowns is just full of problems and issues, one of worse games of this year, a really bad mess.

I usually dismiss your comments, but cot damn at dat hyperbole lol

i'll tell you what youre missing..... hot shots golf - what about unit 13 or sonic transformed racing, or sly 4.
 
I haven't really complained about it before, but it's so lame that all the Crash Bandicoot PSOne games are on sale but not playable on Vita. Tempting to buy them all for $15 just in case they're enabled in the future.
 
oh FUCK yes.

Porting games from dead studios (RIP Bizarre Creations ;_;) doesn't seem out of question considering Epic Mickey 2.

Make it happen Sony.

Dead studio mean nothing on porting stuff, it depend on the source code and the publishers who own the code and the ip since in most cases other external studios doing the porting job.

Like in case of Folklore*, GR is dead but Sony own the ip and have the source code and can port it to PS4/Vita if they want.


* open world sequel that focus on catching folks and fighting other summoners will be awesome it'll be Vita's pokemon ;_; @yosp pls

well $15 is a nice deal- Vita or no Vita- they are good games.
 
Malicious rebirth is a bit of a technical marvel to me. Really fun (fast) game play and a Great price too, really glad I have it and at only 633 mb it's not leaving soon. Just up to the final stage, got everything but not played on hard yet. So much going on at times, Vita is taking a bit if a beating. Reminds me of dmc mixed with gravity rush but it does leave you to it to figure things out, bit retro but I like it. You can ask the dude in the scene selection for more info.

Wait what? Is there a different version or something? I want to buy it but this give me pause.

what racing game do you guys recommend for the vita, anything good?

Wipeout and Most Wanted are cream of the top.

I like Motorstorm RC the most, but that probably won't fit your criteria being an aerial view racer.

Need For Speed was great to me, but I think people who played it on console were disappointed with the lower quality visuals and reduced traffic density. Not an issue for me.

I suck at Wipeout games, so I haven't played 2048. 30fps is a dealbreaker for some, for others it seems to not matter... if you own Wipeout HD on PS3 you get all the tracks as DLC. Seems to be the #1 pick for Vita racing games.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed --> Best karting game this gen
Wipeout 2048 --> Good but not for everyone
MotoGP 13 --> Full featured port, good but hard for newcomers.

NFSMW have two major problems, the car very heavy handling (make you hate the game if you are a Burnout fan) and the framerate drops.

ewwwwwwwwwwwww
 
sonic all-stars looks pretty nice but its still a bit pricy in australia, wish they made a burnout for the vita. does burnout legends work for the vita?
 
Wipeout is hands down the best racer to play SP. A lot of time can be spent perfecting the tracks (at least for me, maybe I suck), while Sonic is a good kart based racer that is a blast with others.
 
Malicious Rebirth does look really nice.
Just saying.

Also, where did the Infamous Vita insider thing come from? First I've heard of it.
 
He said Malicous Rebirth, not just Malicious, so it threw me off.

Malicious = PS3 version ($10)
Malicious Rebirth = Vita version ($15)

Zero, I'm around if you're up for EDF now/later. Pale Wing is ridiculously awesome, though I'll probably stick with Storm for now.

Cyborg, I'm around if you're still wanting to Soul Sacrifice.

Well the director for the second son kind of leak it. After he did he had the face of a man who fuck up really bad.

Give me a few minutes to read this chapter.

Wipeout 2048 --> Good but not for everyone
MotoGP 13 --> Full featured port, good but hard for newcomers.

Great choices, though I would still recommend NFSMW. It's definitely got problems, but I think the positives outweigh those. I haven't played MotoGP 13 since it's not available in the US, but I've heard good things. Wipeout 2048 is AMAZING, and Sonic Racing Transformed is a perfect port besides less shaders. It's the only one besides PC that runs at the system's native resolution, too, so I think it looks better in some way than the console games.
 
So remember when I said there were some really weird ports of PS360 games coming...?

I had no idea about Spiderman. Where the fuck did that come from? And why the hell are they putting it out in November? Save that shit for late winter/spring when the install base is hopefully a bit higher and we aren't spending all our money on the ps4/holiday releases.


Anyway, I rented the ps3 version when it came out. It seemed fun and I always meant to get back to it. Now I just may :)

Have you looked at the screenshots yet? They might change your mind
 
famousmortimer confirmed it'll happen

Yeah, I should clarify that. I've heard it's coming from people in the know that have heard it's coming. Which is good enough (Borderlands 2, for instance, was info like this). But I haven't heard it from anyone actually working on or who has seen the game running. So i have different levels of confidence... infamous isn't MAX confidence, but like Borderlands 2 (which obviously was true) I do believe it.
 
Have you looked at the screenshots yet? They might change your mind

I did. I don't mind. While there are definitely games on the Vita that are amazing visually it's not all that important to me if the game plays well. MK on the vita, for instance, looks like shit but is tons of fun to play. Dynasty Warriors is another example.


If everything could be killzone - look good and play good - that would be awesome. But the Vita isn't a PS3, so concessions need to be made. If it plays well I'm in.

We been hearing the port coming for a while since ESRB ratings and the amazon listing. But the game looks rushed, seem like they scaled back everything until it ran on the Vita.
 
*dragon's crown brofist*

Glad you're diggin' it. Hit me up if you want backup sometime. I'll bust out one of my characters I've only cleared the game on normal with (probably elf/amazon/wizard).

Well do, I only have two hours in right now, but I should be able to play online this weekend (hopefully)

Ah. Today is the first I've heard of it. But I haven't been as deep into the vita scene lately. Not that I haven't been playing it... goddamn 100% rainbows on hardcord in PJM! But my news-sniffing attention has turned to the PS4.


Hopefully it plays well...

No rush. If you like the game, odds are you'll be playing for awhile.
And I'm always up to play cause I wouldn't mind power leveling any character I have that isn't a Fighter and isn't at 99. :)

Never been attracted to the PJM series. Also you had a great podcast with your wife, the react to the first question was hilarious.

Don't worry Frost we have Freedom Wars and over my dead body 2 for 2014.....
