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

Play the demo

I didn't even realize NA had a demo, just heard EU getting one. I can give that a go at some point after I finish the Ace Attorney DLC on the 3ds then and likely confirm my dislike for the game instead of hoping that against all odds I will enjoy it :P

for the record me assuming I will hate it has nothing to do with the quality of the game, it looks like a quality game, just not my type of game :P
 
Got it in my mailbox! <3

I was very negative about the game because I'm really not a fan of Media Molecule's output but I just couldn't ignore the positive feedbacks on the game (and I have a crush on my Vita... Such a wonderful little machine). I'm more than happy to feed on tasty crows and swallow my pride if it means I have a gem to play.
 
So yesterday after work I went to EBGames and asked for Tearaway. The clerk's eyes opened wide and she answered a very enthusiastic "YES! I'll go get it!". I guess I was the first person to ever ask for it, which is kinda sad. But at least they actually had the game, so they haven't completely stopped bothering with the Vita I guess (there's barely any shelf space left for it, not even a demo unit).
 
I'm slowly catching up with my PS+ backlog,there's any way to play Virtue Last Reward without the cutscenes? Only the puzzles?

I know 999 and VLR are really praised around Gaf and I've tried to like the games but I just can't...

The characters are ridiculous and they don't stop talking bullshit all the time...I just want to play the puzzles !!
 
Played the game. Very cool graphics. But I dont like to see my ugly face everyplace in the game. :/

And the game has the same problem of LBP2, too much talk. You play 10 seconds, someone opens a balloon text.
 
No monies

giant backlog of games resulting me to not buy many games day 1.
the game doesn't look fun to me, I have never been a fan of touch controls and tearaway does not look like it will change my mind. My favorite use of touch controls? Advancing text in the ace attorney games... yeah... that's it lol.
finally... it strikes me as a game that will be added to the ps+ line up next june or so... so what minor interest I have in it can easily wait until then.

If I felt I must buy a vita game right now I would be buying Ys instead :P

I'm broke as fuck.

I really really want to but... well see previous page

The budget price in EU/UK vs the normal price in NA has me on boycott. :P

You're all officially on my list. Expect to wake up on Christmas morning to find no presents at all.
 
Can't empathize enough how well PSOne games look on Vita's screen.
I'm having a blast playing Breath of Fire IV on it, looks goooorgous.

how does it hold up?

i can't
 
I preordered Tearaway and it's sitting, waiting for me to pick up.

Haven't picked it up yet though.

I think I should still count as a buy tho.

Sister hooked me up with an early bday gift! I played last night until my battery died. Game is adorable.

You're probably better off playing something else for your puzzle game fix.

How far are you in? Have you gotten to an ending yet?

At least go in a few endings and see if it starts to click for you, if not... well, stuff isn't for everyone. As far as the puzzles go though, you're better off looking elsewhere as they are mediocre at their very best. (Though WAAY better than the 999 puzzles).

VLR is meant to be played for the story, if that's not drawing you in then put it aside and move on in your backlog.
 
There are so few Western physical releases of Vita games these days that at this point, you're just cutting off your nose to spite your face.

You must be new around here. ;)

You're assuming (1) I want a physical release and (2) I have a large interest in the game.

Both would be incorrect.

Now if you don't mind, I'm going back to the new Zelda game. :P

You were going to steal my present anyway.
 
I wanted to wait but in the end i bought it, no keyring or anything though :(

30€ are exactly 40$, this is probably the only case of fair change.
Using your logic us europeans should boycott EVERYTHING due to bullshit 1$ = 1€ change.
 
for anybody that's pre-ordered Dangan Ronpa from the NISA store do they charge your card automatically or when it ships?

"For your convenience, your credit card/Paypal account will not be charged until your order ships.* We will, however, obtain preauthorization from your credit card company/Paypal account prior to shipping your order which may result in a reduction in your available credit by your credit card company/Paypal account. Please contact your credit card company or Paypal account for more information." -- From the NISA help page on their website.

However, then it says this does not apply to pre-orders and to check the pre-order page on what happens, yet that's under the pre-order help drop-down.
When I ordered with my paypal account I got a pending deduction on my funds, so it might be safe to assume a similar thing will happen with a credit card.
 
It's great, same high ppi as the OLED of course and on par with most good smartphone/tablet LCDs in the last couple of years imo.

I really can't tell the difference 5 minutes into playing it, only during direct side by side comparisons. So I doubt it'll affect you once you get used to it. If I'm ever in the market for another vita it'll definitely be another 2000, thing's been going all day on a single charge so far.

GE2 has a setting for color correction. LOL.

They need to bring back OLED later on. (Panasonic has recently dropped their Plasma R&D for OLED, IIRC. Hopefully, this speeds up tech maturity more.)

Thanks, gave me an error when I tried to do it anyway. Meh, I get paid in two days, the special edition will still be available....right....right?


P.S. Your avatar terrifies me. :p
 
Tearaway is love.

Sony really needs video of the Vita's best retail games playing on a screen in Wal-Mart, and some really potent, to the point vertical custom demos on a kiosk with settings inaccessible... and those games actually in the cabinet nearby.

Ya it looks significantly better with it turned on. I wonder if future games will also implement that option to balance the disparity between the two models, assuming they don't phase out the 1000 eventually

Thinking of just turning my 1000 into a dedicated remote play machine once I pick up a PS4

Technically OLED never went away, you can still buy the 3G Vita in Japan.
 
I just finished Tearaway, and people, please do not wait for a price drop just to play this game. Buy it now. Media Molecule deserves every cent and more. I cannot express how amazing of a gaming experience that was.

I never said that. In fact, I'm one of the people here who keeps saying you don't need to buy a "back-up OLED Vita", since they never said they'll discontinue it and everything says that it'll stay. Plus solely for "back-up" is actually not a good idea due to the Lithium Ion Battery.

But come on. Who doesn't want a Vita with OLED, lighter weight and slightly better battery life at the same time?

Not to mention those times when we have to pay even more than a 1:1 exchange rate like with Assassins Creed 3: Liberation ($35 vs. €45).
Europeans get ripped off all the time but we aren't such crybabies :p

Playing Zelda, TRAITOR! TURNCLOAK!
