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

If they limited it to 5~ games a year, then it wouldn't get abused I think.

Yep, I think they could manage to do something about this if they really wanted to. But still, my two favorite PSP games (Crisis Core and KH) would not be available that way due to those silly digital licensing issues. :(
 
I wonder why Sony hasn't implemented the UMD passport program yet out in the west

*sends Crisis Core and Birth By Sleep UMDs*

Oh.

Crunchyroll Comes to OUYA!

Really!?! Is the Vita behind the Ouya as well? What's going on here! Give me a break...

Don't forget your top of page post duties, e.g. Buy Soul Sacrifice! Buy Oddworld Stranger's Wrath HD! ;-)

(1) Nobody watches movies on their Vita. Vita is for gaming. Get with the program. :P
(2) a] It's not the top of the page, it's the middle. Damn 50ppp plebs.
b] Good games, but maybe people should just opt for a PS+ sub instead. ;)

Aaargh my PS3 is YLODing.
RIP Launch 60 gigor :/

Surprised it lasted that long.
Sorry to hear it's dying.
Grab a slim for cheap and keep the party going!
 
I already own Stranger's Wrath Vita and Soul Sacrifice, but the PlayStation 3 games are great.

I have vanilla Dragon's Dogma, but my wife has been wanting Dark Arisen for a while now, and I was this close to buying it for her, but kept forgetting. She's really looking forward to that.

I just bought Proteus this morning, and it's interesting, but I didn't get to spend much time in it. Neat game, though.
 
Did any of my fellow US Vitabros get this email?

I wasn't planning on buying a PS4 anytime soon, but now I feel almost obligated to get one. :P

Look neat.


Btw, there is a Velocity Ultra demo right now available on the US PSN. Just downloaded it and I'm having way more fun than I expected. Might end up getting the full game soon.

It's a solid game that, in my experience, was heavily marred by bugs. And this was after it spent an extra... 8 weeks going through SCEA certification.

Hopefully the next game remedies this... as I don't appreciate having to replay a level over and over though no fault of my own just to achieve the goal.

Looks like a fun character to play as. Can't wait to see new Trophies such as beating Fury Mode with her. ._.

Hope it's good, but do we actually have confirmation of new trophies with the DLC? Soul Sacrifice had all that DLC (granted it was free, but it was still DLC) and gave us 0 additional trophies.

Yes, I got the email.
But I don't know how it would make me feel obligated to buy a PS4. :lol
 
Ok guys, I just swallowed the pill and ordered a 64gb card from Nippon Yasan. Hope customs don't delay my delivery. #64gbmasterrace
 
Got FIFA football for about 3 quid the other day at shopto, plays really well. Just needs stats updated, not sure how yet but upped Sturridge straight away. :) I assume there is a way to update squads, want to play as the current Liverpool team. Will look into it when I get the chance.

Finished Limbo, glad I waited for the pan price drop. Good game but waaay too short, and not as fundamental as I had been led to believe.

Still playing Persona 4 but it's slow going as you can't really just pick up and play. Only just got my moped. Hope you can get a bike, mopeds are lame.

Need to get Dragons Crown still, waiting on deals though. Need to finish what I have anyway, too much and PS plus makes it nigh impossible.

Damn, this thread moves fast.

Does anyone else have FIFA football and know how to update the squads? I did a download through the menu but they're still ancient. Or does it limit you to the year you bought it? Which is a bit shit if so.

Is it possible to download a squad update manually maybe?
 
Wow, this month US PS+ has killed EU. MotorStorm RC vs Soul Sacrifice is not a fair fight.

I just want to finish Remember Me. I try to play it 1 hour each day but I'm not having fun... the game is like a bad Uncharted with a bad Batman Arkham battle system. And the story isn't that good.

I'm in the prision and I'll play Infamous 2 when I finished it... and I'll buy Dragon's Crown before Monday.
 
Try the oven trick. It has yet to fail on me.

If he is going to try some repairing, he should do it at least 'right'. Gilsky has a good guide on doing a reflow with a heatgun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U70SgRDVcBo
Google his PDF.

Hooray!
I think I'm trying to sell my 32gb now... I listed it over in the BST thread.

I am unsure about what to do with mine. Probably won't buy a Vita TV soon, I prefer playing on the handheld anyway. Switching cards is to unconvenient for me and I don't really need access to different stores (wish I could speak Japanese). I have been thinking about a second Vita though, may it be for myself or as a gift.
 
Started playing Proteus yesterday before bedtime. Couldn't finish the island I played until now because I got tired.

It was a really relaxing and weird experience. I had completely no idea what to do. You can always see something you want to explore so I guess it's the way of the game to guide your experience, which works well (I guess?).
The music is nice and the simple graphics can get surprisingly atmospheric, I was really immsersed into the game world.

It was a nice but also very short trip. It took me around an hour. Unfortunately, I didn't play through it in one sitting. The experience would have probably been better. After the first playthrough you unlock the option for daily or location based islands. I am going to explore more Islands for sure.
Looking at the trophies, there could be some replayability.

There isn't much to say about the gameplay. I just want to mention that the movement speed is fast enough so it didn't make me motion sick like in Dear Esther. There is also a crosshair option ingame which supposedly helps with it, I didn't need it.

The price is kind of steep for such a short non-game. Personally, I don't mind it much because I like artsy indie stuff. For most people, $5-$10 would have been more appropriate.

Is a simple process really:

-Access PS store
-Locate Fifa 14
-Pay $39.99
-Install
-Delete Fifa football

Voila! is the same game but with updated rosters now!
And yes EA sucks.

You're right. The developer just tweeted about this now because it seems a lot of people didn't know the demo was out there.

I definitely like what I'm playing so far, but now that I know that the game has bugs, I'm not sure I'll get this one or if I should perhaps wait for the second part.

To do well in later stages, you have to use the right stick for flinging bombs.

There's just a lot of inconsistence with the right stick as input it seems. Also, I had bombs go THROUGH the targets and out of the map. When you're trying to full star a mission you can't really fuck up, so having that happen somewhere mid to late during a run on a state is rage inducing.

Oh man, that's really disappointing. It's settled then. I'll just wait for the second part and keep rocking Sine Mora for my shooter needs. Thanks corrosive!

I mean, you might be able to see it if you keep playing the demo for long enough -- you just need to get to one of the speed stages that has a rapid succession of switches to hit... then you'll notice the issues, i'd wager.
I think there's a good chance it will come to PS+ too, which is why I held off getting it until I could win it or find another way to obtain it...

I like Sine Mora much better... though I find the core gameplay fundamentally different. The worst I could say about Sine Mora was there was some slowdown in the Domus boss fight and ugh, maybe a few other places? But that's it. I don't remember anything glitching like the BS in Velocity Ultra.

Now I'm a bit more critical of Velocity Ultra in a way, because I was so pissed off that EU PS+ got it free on release date in MAY while NA PS+ got nothing for it... EVER... and we had to wait about 8 weeks after it was released in EU. After all that, I was not willing to give anyone money for it. :P

If Velocity Ultra didn't have those bugs that frustrated me while I was going for the trophies and high scores and such, I'd probably give it an 8. As it stands, I give it about a 6.
 
Not any time soon. Bought too many games for the $10 back promo. This is basically a PSA for multiple saves. :P
Yep, haha. I have 6-8 saves that go back a few months. I take a save and if I fuck up with my time or poor choices. I reload :) If everything goes well, I start saving over my other saves.

I made sure to have at least 1-2 saves for each month. There are so many things that can go wrong, especially if you're going for a max social link playthrough.

I didn't really run into bugs in Velocity Ultra but I don't try to 100% everything like frost.

Btw, I hate Sine Mora :)

I just straight up saved each day in a different slot, using all available ones and writing over the first one again once I hit the end. Had a perfectly reversible month or so that way.

Max MC social stats, read all books, max all social links, and 100% the compendium. I used a guide. In the end, I only had 2 free afternoons and all done on 1 playthrough.
Fusing took an enormous bulk of my time since I was putting Cool Breeze on my personas. Then on a day when skills changed, I let my Growth 3 passive change into a Victory Cry. Passed that skill onto ones that I used often and onto as many others that I can down fuse for future fusions.

And that was 80 something hours? Now I feel like I really accomplished nothing. Was that all trophies, too? I thought I read that took at least 2 playthroughs.
