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

Ok.

If there's a thing you think I know that you want to know... what is it?


Also, I'm fucking poor but want a new game and am somewhat drunk... Malicious rebirth? $15 seems like alot even drunk.

Hmmm are there decent-budget first party games being worked on that have not been announced?

Do you know what Bend is working on?

Infamous is the only one I know of and I'm not even 100% on that. The person who I know that is never wrong hasn't spoken a word about it. Others that are hit and miss have.


No goddamn clue what bend is doing. Wish I knew.


All of that said, it's not weird in the fall to not know what the big games of next year are. If we get to March without announcements I will join everyone in getting nervous.
 
Ok.

Any news on GoW HD collection port? I'm surprised to not have heard anything about it since E3.

Any other first party port you know of?
 
Fuck's sake Sony a PSP sale, gimme a freakin' PSP SALE ALREADY!

Ok.

A game could be $5 and you'd still say it's a lot even if you're sober =V

Just get it since it can go towards $10 back for you in November.

I haven't heard a goddamn word about gow. What the heck is going on with that?


Not first party but I heard there was going to be a dishonored port which never made any goddamn sense to me. But it's been months so maybe that was bullshit.
 
Having JUST recently learned what Knack is about...I want it...but I've not interested in a PS4...so I want a Knack game on Vita with similar gameplay concept.

Dishonored?! On ps vita? YES. Mind if i ask how Dead Nation Vita is doing, I was more excited for that than GoW.


Very good. Guess if I enjoyed V1, Ill surely enjoy Vk3 :D

If infamous is the only big game you have heard of i guess that:
1)demon's souls successor is not for vita right?
2)there are no gta, saints row or similar except infamous and spiderman.
3)there's no fallout, elder scroll or similar coming except borderlands 2

Anyway could you please say to your contacts to say to developers that vitabros prefer native res(if 60fps even better) to sub-native res better graphics?

Batman is coming the 25 if you can wait buy that, if not check the offers, if you use an eu account there's a good sale about cross play games

Thanks for the vid, i'll watch it later :D

Dishonored would be great as I haven't played it :)
I like these ports but if stuff like this is due to deals with Sony, they should try getting new releases instead of old ports.
 
All this talk of future releases has got me thinking about what titles I’m actually excited about for the future, and I can only think of a handful:

Bit Trip Presents Runner 2
Football Manager 2014
Final Fantasy X/X2

What other titles are people anticipating? (this is really just a way for me to gauge what has been announced that I don’t know about)
 
I just read through the old Wipeout2048 OT....
The devs seems so positive and excited and wanted to add loads of DLC to the game.
We didn't even get the VR Viewer...
So sad.
 
Just got myself a new phone upgrade, went with an Xperia Z. I figured I would take advantage of the PSM feature, so I picked up Rymdkapsel and yeah, it's pretty awesome. Super Crate Box is also great but not so much with touch controls.


Just ordered a OG Vita and Killzone Merc online. Gotta get that OLED before they're all gone. Any "must play" games I should also get?

As far as console exclusives go;

Soul Sacrifice
Wipeout 2048
Gravity Rush
LBP Vita

Nothing will come close to the jonesing level I have for Isaac Rebirth.
 
I hear there is going to be a "launch event" and it will be announced then. But... shit like this is constantly changing. Also it's not DS2, it's a spiritual successor.

Yeah... probably more like after Dark 2 launch at this rate.

Not first party but I heard there was going to be a dishonored port which never made any goddamn sense to me. But it's been months so maybe that was bullshit.

If true then wow. First Borderlands 2 then Dishonoured, and Vita will be my go-to for "quirky FPS".
 
So Virtua Tennis 4 is in the Top 15 PAL charts this week, whether it's the Vita or PS3 or both is unknown, but goddamnit SEGA GIVE THIS AS PLUS FREEBIE OR PUT IT ON SALE, I WANNA KNOW WHAT'S SO HOT ABOUT THIS GAME!

Everyone who bought a Vita from agros got it. They're are countless copies on ebay due to this atm for around a fiver btw
 
Wipeout being cancelled is such a huge crying shame to be honest. Maybe US don't feel it as bad generally but EU sonyfans will I'm sure. No other racing game feels like Wipeout, airdrifting around bends at max speeds, the way you control the momentum for the different ships. The visuals, the music. The work still needed to be done on wipeout 2048. If Vita wasn't so awesome to me (plus remote play and shared ps+ with ps4), I'd be PC only out of annoyance.

What's up Vitabros

Anybody getting Batman Blackgate?

Planning to yep, not long :)

The reviews in a nutshell:

Vita version: 65 Metacritic, "scaled back 2D game, why would you play this instead of the console version?"

3DS version: 85 Metacritic, "fantastic callback to 2D Metroid games, must-play."

:(

Sorta.
It has so much potential.
But they need to fire their QA team. Should've never made it out the door without 30fps lock. And if it had been 60fps locked? Could've been LEGENDARY... such wasted potential.

Come on dude! 60fps! So much is going on! I was pretty impressed with it...you can send a projectile at like a million things at once...while everything else is going on! Just looking for the video link now.

|---for anyone casually reading, SPOILER careful SPOILER this is going to link to a post which links to a video of the final boss in Malicious Rebirth--|

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=86182426&postcount=2742

He also mentioned that counters break the shield, so if his shield is down, save the counter and run away... not sure if you have enough time for that lol!

---Oh the video shows him using the fast firing thing! totally forgot about that move even though I think Omega reminded me recently to use it.

Ok.

Fuck yeah it's worth it imo. £10 was a bargain for me, never played the PS3 version though and I don't get hung up on story with games like this. So much action! Vita needed a game like this. I was chuffed with it, bit disappointed not many people mention it. I really don't believe they all played it on PS3 time ago, or maybe I was just too out of the PS3 environment at the time, was it super popular? Doesn't seem like a digital game like this would be, on PS3.

Oh and Mirrors edge vita :P
:'(

I'm glad infamous is in the works (iirc), looking forward to something with a bit larger levels/open world on vita. Otherwise, more things I secretly hope for that I'm sure won't/can't come, but are nice to imagine:

Alien Hominid
Reckless Disregard for Gravity
Sim City
Cool racing game like Blur
Resident Evil 4
Any of rockstar's games
... a trackmania game

that vita tax! what the helllllll. seriously makes no sense.

all the early impressions gave the sense that vita is definitive... and then this malarky..

also, regarding bit trip runner 2. i've been slowly chipping away at it when it went free on ps3... but in the past week, twice have i legitimately wished for it to have been released for vita already. That game would be amazing for a handheld.

Lastly - yay!! last two weeks of the month = happy vita ps+ owners :) - finally can look forward to some stuff. think i'm going to preorder tearaway this week. I have 20$ stil lto spend for the 50$/10$... any ideas? i'm thinking killzone...but waiting to see what games get discounted this week.
 
Ok.

It's got a fair amount of new content for $15 -- so $5 more than the PS3 version is justifiable... it still runs like shit though.

I don't remember electing you to speak for me. I prefer better graphics at 30fps except for fighters. Speak for yourself.

60fps should be pretty much standard for games that are action, fighting, or racing.

If you read his post carefully, it's more about native res to subnative res than 60fps. I don't really care about that issue most of the time... subnative res is fine if the game needs it to run at a solid framerate (30 vs. 60 aside).

I don't care either way - I just want more games for vita - but when people start telling me what I want or what I should/shouldn't buy, I feel compelled to do the opposite.

Who was speaking for you? Reading comprehension fail? He said Vita bros prefer..... Thus making a general statement for all of us. I was correcting that not speaking on your behalf. 60fps for anything other than fighting games on the vita is useless because of the analog sticks and the fact that it's a portable device.

No way dude. Did you recently get a 120Hz pc monitor or something?

It's just when the bosses are right up your ass laying into you with big special moves AND when there are lots of other enemies about. --then it runs like shit...for a second or so as you dash the fuck out of there.

For the graphics, the number of enemies, the size of the maps...I think it's a pretty great technical achievement compared to a lot of other games on the platform. Maybe NLKS softened me up... :P But I don't think so.

So the guys at blit software who ported spelunky sent me a tweet this morning saying that they have the levels with slowdown running smooth as butter. Sadly they don't yet have a date for the patch but let's hope it is sooner rather than later. https://twitter.com/blitsoftware/status/392235082015969280

I am the 13th person in the world to 100% the trophies in spelunky :-) my greatest achievement!!! Lol

Fantastic! thanks for letting us know, will pick it up soon then. And good job!



-Also I recently unlocked the AGES "character" in Sonic Racing Transformed. What an awesome vehicle!!! It even turns into a dreamcast controller in water sections! 165 stars to get that! Took me AGES the game is so hard lol. 200 stars :'( so many expert challenges left...what a game though.

if the majority of people prefer it, it would be an accurate statement.

just because you might be the exception doesn't make his statement any less accurate.

Nice! I was the 5th to beat the game! To be fair I played the PC version a lot. If that player count is accurate, the PSN version undersold the other two versions substantially :(

Add me on PSN for high score comparing and possible daily challenges! theytookourjobz on PSN

I read something in GAF about a Sony localization team, you know if it's already built? Are they working on something right now?

How slim is the chance of having a Type-0 qHD edition for the Vita? And a PSO2 localization for PS4/PC/Vita?

PS: I'm assuming Tales of Vita are MIA xD

How would you know that the majority of people prefer it? Have you polled everyone with a vita to come to this conclusion. Since mist people buy gamed regardless of their framerate, the you should go complain elsewhere. Seriously 60fps fans are more annoying that pc elitists. If you want constant 60fps, go buy a pc. I buy a game for the experience and fun but not for a framerate. I know lots of 60 fps games that suck. Btw, you're in the minority when it comes to framerate vs graphics so please carry this argument elsewhere. It's like asking for 60fps on the 3ds. What a joke. If I wanted to play games with psp graphics, I would have bought a psp.

Let's put it this way...

The last 3 people you responded would have a much better idea about what "vitabros prefer" than yourself.

I have a PC, but thanks for the recommendation.
 

Didn't see this (from the upcoming games thread), looks pretty cool! Never played on PS3 either.

Go on... :)

I want more things going for 60fps as standard, it makes it much more enjoyable since I play my games long-term generally. When a game is all about strategy and slow-paced tactics, yeah who cares, bump up the visuals! Otherwise if you need to be able to respond exactly and carefully and at any given moment then 60fps. Handheld does make things more tricky. And some games take graphics so far that I just let it slide (KZ:M, Wipeout 2048) but otherwise...spend time you have put in on effects and that and work on the actual gameplay, since the player can handle more if the game is running faster.

And not everyone knows technically about framerates, but they certainly can feel it. Hence why BF4 on consoles is now also targetting 60fps like CoD.
