Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | November 2013 | Tearaway into a new world

Thank you VitaGaf for recommending P3P to me. It's so damn good, I'm 49 hours into it now, and feel like I'm pretty close to finishing the male protagonist story. At first it kinda bothered me how there are no cutscenes and you have to move around with the cursor, but the more I play the more I like it, and the story is even better than P4G.

P3P and P4G SPOILER
I like that the story is much darker and that people you actually care about die instead of random people like the announcer, Saki, and Mr. Morooka in 4 [Shinjiro was my favorite character :( I still haven't forgiven that little shit Ken for Shinji's death. I talk to everyone in the dorm except him and yell at my vita whenever he greets me coming home to the dorm]

Anyways, a quick question for those that have played it. Without spoiling anything, is the female protag's story very different from the male's? and is there a New Game+ like in P4G? And if I beat it as the guy can I do a NG+ as the girl or do I need to start over?
 
It'll be sale on stuff you already own or don't want
which will become Plus freebies in January =V

The sad true my friend.

I'm hoping for some good PSP games on sale (even though I keep buying them and not playing them).

I also wish they'd put more launch games on sales. That gameloft diablo clone would be worth it if it was sold for under $10. Otherwise I don't know what else would be worth it.

Any chances of dragons crown going on sale?

Tell me about it, I really want those Ys PSP games but I doubt they've been on sale in over a year or more.

Dungeon Siege you mean? Didn't it go on sale for under $10 some months ago?

Brah where were you last month? Dragon's Crown Vita was $30 TWICE during October IIRC.
 
Probably not, because it was just on sale last week (or the week before that, I can't remember)

I just checked, that's alright I would have waited for it to be cheaper anyway. Atlus has those sales like 4 times a year though so they'll probably do it again by February or April. :P

Last year of college, I've been busy. XD

I'm talking about Dungeon Hunter: Alliance. If I missed it for under $10 I'll be pretty upset.
 
Are Play-asia "Digital" PSN cards actually just physical ones?
It looks like they just took a picture of one.

Does that mean I am eligible for JP PSN's 10x raffle promo?

Elaborate on this JPN PSN raffle please?
...and the Digital codes are just snapshots of the codes from the cards.

Ooof, well 10 minutes of your time every Wednesday checking the US Store wouldn't hurt. Make that a habit and you won't miss on just about anything.

Oh cool. What day does it usually update?

Usually on Tuesday Grace Chen Time.
Just check the store on Wednesday and it'll be up, trust me on this

The raffle is what it sounds like.

3 selected users from each denomination (3000, 5000, and 10000) will receive 10x what they charged during the promo.

I'm not really sure if the Play-asia ones count, but given that the 3,000Yen Hatsune Miku Card that was released a year ago counts (and has long since been out of stock) is also counted, they probably do (assuming they are indeed physical cards).

Come at me, 100,000 yen! I'M READY FOR A SPENDING SPREE.

Edit: For the record, it seems that code-only stuff are called PSN Tickets, while physical cards are called PSN Cards.

That's the thing though, I do check every week to make sure I know whats on sale. Which is why I'm so surprised.

None of the Atlus sales going on for the past five or six weeks have been in the PS blog (or even announced via email until several days after the sale starts, if that). If you're checking the sale section on the store, though, you shouldn't have missed them.

"Give me a gun and I'll end this" D:

Dragon's Crown for 29$ is pretty damn good. The cheapest prices I've seen is 35€. Most places are around 42 here in Spain (that's the usual suspects, Game and GameStop xD)

You mix up EU with US PSN. US PSN ALWAYS lists what's on sale or discounted on the weekly Tuesday Store Update post.
 
Still mentions the Vita version at the end of the trailer, so its still coming. But its still infuriating that they'd announce a release date for the PS3 version and not the Vita version. I guess this means we aren't getting it until after its already out on PS3...
Probably staggering the release as an added excuse to ignore cross-buy or some kind of multi-buy discount.
 
That's damn near perfect!

Yeah, it's missing the code on the bottom of the spine!

Almost, almost.

That's annoying
 
News to me. The decision to port Amazing Spiderman is more baffling than the late Epic Mickey 2 port that the Vita got.
The only connection I can make is it's a Sony Pictures film... other than that, no idea. I don't know why they wouldn't have just waited and ported Amazing Spider-Man 2 instead (which I don't think got announced for Vita anyway?)
 
Please port Ultimate Spiderman from the PS2! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!

Edit: Sorry I forgot that port begging wasn't allowed. Forgive me GAF.

There is no way in hell that'll ever happen, especially with how Marvel's status quo and direction is going atm.
 
Don't know if old but the amazing spiderman will be available this week(at least in the us store)

We've known about it for awhile (it was rumoured for months after getting rated by the ESRB, and then they finally confirmed it last month on the PS Blog), but we haven't seen any gameplay or anything yet.

I don't care, though. I'm seriously more excited for it than I am for anything else coming out this fall. I loved the PS3 version, and if this really is the same game, I'm going to play the heck out of it.

It's like the PS3 version of the Last Remnant. They'll keep that PSVita logo in there and hope everyone eventually forgets about it :lol
 
My Vita just came that i bought for Tearaway. I've heard about the screen but you really can't comprehend how good it is until you have it in front of you. Playing Rayman and it looks gorgeous.
 
This whole FF X/X-2 just makes me so sad because I really want the art book in the limited edition, but I know I'd never play a PS3 version if there were a Vita one in English. And I'm not buying the game twice.

Maybe someone from Sony could help us get an answer?

It could be DD only.

If that's the case i will stick with my PS2 version + PCSX2, even if it's more confortable for me playing it in my PS3.
 
HEADS UP EU VITA GAF!
Stick it to the man's discount will end once the game is released, meaning it's only gonna be 8 Pounds/10 Euros for the next few days. Technically you can treat it as a pre-order discount since it's regular price will become 10 Pounds after the pre-order period ends.
So if you're interested in the game, go get it off the Store asap!

Review thread in case anyone's interested
Confirmation of the pre-order pricing

EDIT: Vita ver. is aiming for an early December release, though there is still no concrete date.
 
I'm gonna rent FFX HD I think. Never played it the first time around. I skipped basically every FF between 7 and 11. Only recently played 9, I liked that one.

For me IX was markedly better than X, but at least X isn't VIII.

(high five Spanish Dragon's Crown vitabro). I imported the PS3 version from Canada and got the Vita version off the PS store (going digital with all Vita purchases if given the choice).

High five! :D

I wasn't able to buy it in November, but next month it's a given. I can't wait to play as the Elf.

Minecraft for vita will be based on the console version, not on the mobile one.

Really good news. Sony won't do nothing (probably) but a
good
Minecraft machine could sell pretty well.


I suppose Tecmo Koei route with Musou games is PS3/4/Vita multiplatform releases, right? I can't complain if they decide to bring those good Vita games to EU
 
Random question from a new Vita owner. I remember a little bit of controversy around when the Vita first came out around Everybody's Golf. Buying the PSN version didn't come with the online pass.

Was this ever corrected so it comes with it now? If not, is the online active enough to worth bothering with it?
