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


If GE2 actually sells more than 100k on PSP, I'll be really surprised.

I mean. PSP screen would be blurry, aiming will be shit (in Burst was pretty awkward, thumb in stick, index finger in D-Pad), camera will be better in Vita and touchscreen should been useful for managing bullets and items.

The difference is so big i'd find weird if PSP solds well. God Eater Burst was crying for a second analog stick.

Geez I made thread for it and no one noticed

Someone give me gifs...
 
Very high

Did God Eater sold well in the West?

Still, Namco seems to be treating a lot better their fanbase (which is mainly people that like Japanese games), so it'll probably come to the West. Hopefully with an online mode. I don't know anybody with a PSVita for playing ad-hoc, and hunting games really shine when playing with other people.
 
I'm not into hunting games, but man this looks amazing. It really feels like it also has a quite deep story. I was thinking in jumping into the genre with Freedom Wars, but if they bring this over first...

If you have any plans to playing the first game at all, I suggest getting into GEB first. You can probably just do the stories. Then move to GE2 when it comes.

It'll be hard getting back to a Blood Arts-less God Eater, IMO. :P
 
The vita version may or may not outdo the psp version, but GE is a hell of a lot more popular than toukiden so I doubt sales will be below 100k.


Very high

The Vita version of GE2 ranks 12 on Amazon JP top selling software right now, while the PSP version is on the 37th spot, so I guess it is a pretty safe bet that the Vita version will outsell the PSP one.

Also, the first GE sold more than 600k. So I am guessing that GE2 might surpass the 500k mark combined, with the Vita version sales perhaps ranking between 250k and 300k.

That, along with the release of the VitaTV on the same day will most likely make it Vita's best week of the year.

Thanks! I might try GE Burst first then.
 
I hope they make Katamari free next month in the US. I really want to play that game (for free).

Gamestop has a used copy for 11 bux. Plus they extended the return date for all things purchased after October something to 1/14/14 so play it then return it
 
I couldn't get on with Katamari on PS2 and I'm struggling on Vita too. A mixture of awkward controls and invasive audio, I can play it for about five minutes before getting too irritated to continue.

The intro was excruciating.

It was <$4 for PS+ members.
If you wanted to play it, $3.74 is pretty much close to free.

ahaha, you might be the first person i've found that isn't charmed by the quirkiness of katamari. controls on vita are superb for the series. no six axis motion bs for jumping, etc.

but i can see how it would put off some.
 
lol

Prepare to be really surprised.

When was the last time Namco Bandai localized a Vita game that didn't have a home console version to subsidize costs? Oh right, back at Vita's launch.

Sadly, I know i'll be xD. That surprised should have been changed for a "disapointed".

PSP should just die already. It was nice, it has lasted almost 10 years, but it's time to move on. I don't see me buying cross-gen titles for my PS3 in Christmas 2015. In fact, i'm not planning on buying any cross-gen game until I get a PS4. Everything would look... too bad.

The audience still on PSP would likely buy a 3DS over a Vita.
 
Tried to play KZ:M today finally since I got back home now, have wifi, updated and all. Connection issues + constantly disconnecting = no games played. Will try dmz vita tomorrow.

WRC 4 demo - framerate dips when I'm the only car driving? Suck my balls. Looked alright otherwise but no. No option for analogue acceleration -_-

And to top it off my not TOO old (pre - i7) mbp can't handle dota 2 on lowest settings.

Not a good gaming day for me.

Actually there might be an issue with PSN at the moment, new thread about it too.
 
How do I access time trial mode in Malicious after I beat the game -- can you not have an active "story" session for access to be available?
I do have the stopwatch icon on my status bar in the title screen and it says "time" but I missed the part that told me how to access it.

IIRC in free mode, you go up to a stage and press select when it shows you your clear record.

Yeah I saw that sale, but I wasn't a Plus member at the time, unfortunately.

But that would require going into a Gamestop....twice. Yuck.
 
Such positive Dragons Crown impressions in this thread are wanting me to pick it up now that its at $30, but I still have so many games to finish.
Ugh, what to do...
 
Just in case anyone wants it, here is a Vita wallpaper with the new FFX HD key art. Look stunning on the OLED screen.

RPGFan recently compiled a list of its Top 20 PSP Role-Playing Games.
They include a number of story-driven strategy RPGs as well.

It's well worth a perusal for those of you looking to pass the time when gaps in the Vita's release schedule present themselves.
15 of these are available for purchase digitally on the PlayStation Store. (I've bolded the ones that are for easy reference.)

It's focused on titles that received domestic releases so obvious exclusions like Final Fantasy Type-0, Valkyria Chronicles 3 and the latter Kiseki titles fail to make the cut.

20) Star Ocean: Second Evolution
19) Jeanne D'Arc
18) Wild Arms XF
17) X-Men Legends II
16) Lunar: Silver Star Harmony
15) Half-Minute Hero
14) Ys I & II Chronicles
13) Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection
12) ZHP: Unlosing Ranger Vs. Darkdeath Evilman
11) Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days

10) Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth
9) Ys Seven
8) Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep
7) Riviera: The Promised Land
6) Ys: The Oath in Felghana

5) Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions
4) ___ Tactics Ogre: Let us Cling Together ___
3) ________Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII ______
2) _ The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky _
1) ___________ Persona 3 Portable__________
 
Is there a reason i shouldnt be using ai partners in DC? Any other tips out there? I just completed like the 4-5th? Stage. How many are there again?
 
I'm a little ashamed to admit this, but I'm seriously thinking about getting the Angry Birds Trilogy. Can anyone confirm whether it has trophies? I'd assumed it did, but then they posted this on their Facebook...which, I'd think, just means no cross-trophies, but further reading on PS3 Trophies makes me think it just has no trophies. So...anyone? BlueMaxima, you bought it, right?

No iOS or Android device? That saves you $36+ dollars, which is the price of a full Vita game such as Killzone Mercenaries and the upcoming Ys game. Angry Birds Trilogy is a rip off on Vita.

But...trophies. And besides, I already have KZ:M, and I'll be getting Ys. I'm just a huge completist.
 
12) ZHP: Unlosing Ranger Vs. Darkdeath Evilman

This is the official english title? Unlosing... Ranger... Darkdeath Evilman... huh?

I'm pretty sure it's Zettai Shouri Makeranger (lit. Absolute Win/Victory Loseranger) and Tanaka Darkdeath (Tanaka =
extremely common surname/lacks impact
). Both of which are oxymorons and part of the joke. What did they replace those jokes with? D8

There are
9
dungeons.
The enemies get stronger with a bigger party but I finished my normal playthrough with the AI without a problem and still let them join in on hard (they'll join automatically).
They are dumb but have their uses like taking all the attention of bosses or doing those special things at bossfights.
 
Any malicious players in here managed the "1 kill clear" trophy yet?
Essentially "don't kill anything other than the boss".

This is much harder than it sounds. :|
 
There are some good deals on the leaed GS BF Sale
