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

So is this Destiny of Spirits any good? Might give it a whirl if some Vitabros think it's up to snuff

It has a nice enough menu screen, but that's all I can say so far. Apparently the beta doesn't begin till tomorrow

EDIT: Top of the page!
Dynasty Warriors Next!
Hotline Miami, be it through Plus or cross-buy sale
 
decided to go digital with Batman Blackgate, that boxart was just ugly as hell.

publishers need to put more demos for new games on Vita store, the demo section is just sad.



lol, i'm on ignore list of half the Vitakittens here so a Vita related thread by me will be a wasteland.



Why?

I might but my grammar is pretty bad. And I agree with the bolded.
 
Resident Evil 2 is on the EU store (online one anyway, I didn't see it through the vita either though).

Does suck Terraria put vita on the backburner but understandable. Hope it's priced nicely otherwise I can wait even longer. Luftrausers come on out.

The game is £30 on amazon so.. £29.99-39.99 I'd guess on the store :p

Unfortunately...that difference is currently important :P

Also, £27ish on shopto btw.

You can preorder a PS3 "batman bundle" for £50 on the UK store...nothing about the PSV version though.
 
Did anyone make thread for t Deception IV.

Looking on the store and I'm seeing all the Persona games. Aside from P4G are any of the other Persona games worth picking up?
I've never really heard of these games until I came on here so I've played through none of them but I do enjoy JRPG so I'm wondering about the others

if you don't have a ps2/ps3, i had a good time with p3p. by the sounds of your post, i assume you haven't played p4g? it's the best persona game available on vita, by far.
 
Just finished Soul Sacrfice. Probably 25 levels too late, but I loved the game so much I didn't hurry and finished a lot of Avalonquests and Multiplayer-stuff over months before fighting Magusar.

What a wonderful atmosphere in the story (especially later on), the soundtrack is one of the best soundtracks I ever experienced. Never expected that, after playing the beta for 7 hours I bought it just for the gameplay alone.

I think I am not finished with this game even now, but now is the time to say what an amazing game it is.

I haven't played p4g no. Will definitely have to get it. I think I will pick up p3p aswell.
I'm searching the store for PSP games I've missed aswell but I think I will try to get through my PS+ backlog first since it's gotten really big

before you buy p3p, read up about it. it lacks things that were in the ps2 version, like animated cutscenes and town exploration. it DOES let you control your entire party though, and it has a female storyline. your best bet would be to buy p4g and play through it before considering p3p. you'd be able to really tell how much the different features mean to you, since persona 3 and persona 4 are mechanically quite similar.
 
I have both Corpse Party games in my shopping cart. With the $20 I'll get from Sony, I should be able to pick up Killzone Mercenary for a good price. Anyone here plays Killzone? Never played the series, so I'm on the fence with the purchase.
 
The glue around my left analog stick is pretty gone. I can see the glue residue when I pull down on the stick. It still functions correctly.
Should I be worried?

edit: I feel stupid. What I thought was glue, turned out to be some slight dust built up. All is good.
 
vitabros,

For automatic backups, does the Vita turn itself on at some time and upload saves? What time does it do this, and do you actually see it turn on? Or does it only backup if you manually have it on.
 
Starlight Inception wasn't as bad as I thought, but calling it good in its current incarnation is a major overstatement.
The framerate issues are the chief offender, but the space craft also control inconsistently, with seemingly random sensitivity changes.

Wow, I just now found out that Malicious finally came out. Anyone pick it up yet?

Several of us have, including myself.
Got any questions?

You can set up the time I believe, just like the PS3. I put my Vita in standby and it does it between 4 and 6 am.

I have played killzone 2, 3 and mercenary and my favorite is mercenary. Online is fun, (it helps that im decent at it) and the sp is great aswell. Out of the 3 i feel mercenary controls the best and its colorful and not all brown and grey like 2. I recommend it. Any particular questions you have about it?
 
What the hell is with the recursion in this thread -- it's like Groundhog Day up in here.

Vita has to be on. And I think in standby.
If your Vita is 100% off, it will not auto power on like PS3.

Is the online still highly active? I haven't played too many FPS, the most recent one was CoD Black Ops II. Knowing that, is there anything I should know before entering the Killzone franchise? I'm not sure if things like kill streaks exist.

anyone going to buy Batman? im really on the fence on buying it.
I haven't played Arkham Origins, and seeing that black Gate is a sequel, I'll wait. I'll probably get Arkham Origins for the holidays. So I have no clue about when I'll get Blackgate.
 
Armature has said on Twitter that the game won't spoil the console Arkham Origins release.

Armature said in an interview they weren't going to talk about the story because it takes after Arkham Origins as a sequel of sorts and they didn't want to spoil anything.

BLOPS2? :shudder:

Killzone is very slow/heavy in the movement.
There are killstreaks of a sort, but theyr'e not handled like CoD.
I haven't played in awhile, but I'm assuming the online is still pretty populated.
 
I will somehow get batman (friday or bust). I have more than enough to play. But I want to feel some batman on Vita. Come to me.

I dont think there is a player counter but i had no problems quickly getting into a match last time i played. They just released a patch fixing connection issues people were having so it may have actually increased due to that. There are kill streak like things called vanguards, although you dont need a streak. You can even pick them up by hacking terminals. There is a drone like thing you can control, ghost mode where your mostly invisible, shoulder rocket launcher where u just tap enemies to shoot the rocket at them and a few others. The game takes place during the events of killzone 1 and 2. They even show some clips and other things that tie them into what was going on at the time during those games to what your doing. Not sure if there really is anything you need to know but playing the other games would make it more fleshed out and you would notice a few things but its not necessary. I never played killzone 1 myself although now i want to just because i played everyone but 1 and the psp game.

Sessler: "So the game takes place 6 months after the end of Arkham Origins which probably means if we talk too much about story we might be kind of spoiling the other game."
Todd Keller (a founder of Armature, Art Director on Blackgate): "I'd rather you go through the characters in that game first and see where they end up..."

And then they talk no more about plot.

I'll avoid it til I manage to play Origins, regardless of the "nods" they admit to on twitter.

Reviews for both games are embargo'ed til Friday morning.
 
OK VitaGAF with all these spooky vibes going on in the PSN store, I'm gonna need some help....

Corpse Party or Walking Dead?
 
I know this is a little off topic but this seemed like the best place to ask.

I just got a Vita and am downloading a shit ton of games. Do I have to leave it on and running the whole time? I tried putting it to sleep and that seemed to stop the download.
 
At least it's in beta, right? Hopefully they'll add AA in before release.

This is a beta still.

oh, hopefully they improve it then.

you need to uncheck the wifi power saving.

Let it put itself into sleep mode. If it's still stopping the download, check your settings to make sure wifi's set to stay on when it goes to sleep.
 
I see 'Use Wi-Fi in Power Save Mode' and that's checked. Isn't that what I want?

You want it checked, it will leave Wifi on when the Vita sleeps. Try restarting also if it's cancelling your downloads, I've found PSN to be very finicky after I download a game or change anything in the system.
