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

Edit: Fuuuuuu---- EU only?! :(

I thought it was for all the countries where PSMobile was available. My bad.

I've played like 3 races in Sonic Kart. It's good, but sometimes my car loses control without a reason. And I can't use the D-Pad while flying! Do I need to download a patch or something?

Top of the page (we're still doing this, right): Looks if you can download those PSM titles for free! Preorder Toukiden! Buy Tearaway damn it! Download Sonic so I can have a race with you :)
 
Finally.



Ye talking about the free PSM titles? I just got them on the US PSM.

I got it to work. Weirdly enough, I had to reset my password for it to work.

There's a weapon where, when you get hit, it screws up your controls. That might be the explanation of your first problem.
 
Man, this thread is almost impossible to keep up with. Everyone in the world who owns a Vita must post in here :p

Figured I'd mention in here that Gamefly has a $5 discount on everything you keep or buy used this Thanksgiving.
 
Played a bit of Sonic & Allstars Racing and it seems like a fun game but the frame rate really hurts the experience. Most games I've played on Vita suffer from the same issue, which is unfortunate. Returned NFS:MW after having spent a couple of minutes with it because it regularly dipped deep below 30fps. The first Jak and Daxter game is the worst offender though, practically a slideshow. I'd rather a developer tone down the visuals for the sake of at least a stable 30fps.
 
I told you guys.

Must have missed your post, sucks, was expecting some today...hmm I can wait 2 more days but euughhghhg. I want to feed my vita more games. Probably unlikely Rayman Legends and SotN go on sale...hmm, 2 more days it's okay.

I'd recommend Vita Bounce.

There are 2 new free PSM games. I suggest checking them out before having an LB situation.

Hah yeah I should pick that up sometime.

Got the 2 psm games yesterday, thanks! They're pretty good! Even the passing time game - made by the frobisher said folks. Not too crappy.

Damn, I was hoping for many sweet sales.

They guy doing the blog seemed smug about it...I'm expecting something decent this time...

I didn't specifically say it would be on Friday (didn't know that either). I meant as in don't expect too much from them, their sales have either been lacklasture or how they like to delay it. It's often the same with them.

I'm not expecting Persona 4 on sale, while it's on sale in the US for the fourth time...

I hope we'll get Dynasty Warriors or maybe more recent games.

Oh yeah I remember you mentioning that, was hoping it wasn't the case.

I read this about Persona 4 today so not expecting it either:
So,the U.S. gets Persona 4 Golden discounted again,whilst it’s still full price since release in the U.K. Poor show,Sony.
This comes down to the publisher agreeing for a discount rather than us slashing without consent. We’ve tried on many occasions. Maybe in the future it could happen.

Maybe the sale isn't totally awful anyway, it'd be nice and I reckon we are due one.

Dragon's Crown would be awesome ,same for Dynasty Warriors.

BTW, I've been seeing P4 Animation. I still found awful how they screwed Dojima compared to its 2D portrait (he looks really cool there), but the series is rather good. Though S.Link are very simplified and dialog gets cut.

And I have the feeling that... well, I heard this song at the gym I went last year. I mean through the loud-speakers. But that's imposible, right?
 
I spend more than I should, and end up with games I never play. I tell myself every year I'm not going to do it. I have the new Ys and if you liked Seven you will like this even more.

General consensus is that the new Ys is great, so I will be buying it eventually. I may swing by Best Buy or something and see if they have it here. I live in a really podunk town, so I'm often able to find shit that most other folks can't.
 
I really hate that damn shopkeeper. He's been way too unfair quite a few times. Like the boulder dropped on him once when he was out of view after I took that special item, how would I know. He waited for me at the exit. I somehow made it through...he was waiting for me at the only passage out from the entrance on the next level, and I had no bombs. Was doing so good too.

Brilliant game, not usually a fan of cave like settings but it just feels like an adventure.

Wasted all my money on the
spin the wheel shop game
, ghost ended up killing me in the store lol, bloody addictive!

Still barely getting past the demo stages as well for the most part, really recommend people give it a download if they're still unfamiliar with it. Really opens up when you try and do well. A lot of special touches to how and when you jump like...it does affect things. Choosing what to go for, when to pick things up that you'll need. Some great items too. And the random adventure each time is just excellent (99% of the time).
 
Oh good lord. I don't think I can handle a Sony and Steam sale on the same day. Thank Christ Nintendo aren't doing one at the same time or I would be very bankrupt very quickly.
 
Good, maybe it's digital only. The two games are sold separately on Vita, right? I'd take that version over the PS3 one then since I don't care for X-2 at all.

My understanding is that the games are separate, yeah. I would really like to have both in the same package, but either way I am looking forward to the releases.

The US gets Persona 4 sales and we not because they got the game much earlier than we did.
 
Digging the new mobile SEN store. Bought and queued up sonic racing at work so hopefully it will be ready to go when I get home. Still no Flower on the store :(
 
Do the bubbles still reset when you switch your memory cards? Both cards have the same account on it.

I am thinking about using my 32 GB card for videos but I don't want my bubbles messed up after watching videos.

Flower is online in the EU store. Already played it.

Persona 2: Eternal Punishment(NA) -- MB-6F8702658565C118

Man, another Monster Hunter esque game on the Vita?

They sure compensate for the lack of MH on the Vita, lol.

I'll still buy this one and God Eater 2 though. I really dig the art style in Toukiden.

Eh, aside from being in the same "genre", most games on Vita share very little in common with MH. Saying that, for example, MH and Soul Sacrifice are clones is like saying Bioshock and Call of Duty are clones, because you carry guns, walk through a pre-determined path and kill everything in your path.

Granted, I played the Toukiden demo and it is the closest game to MH I've played on Vita. But I don't see that as a bad thing, and it has its own merits. I'm pumped for it.
 
Well I downloaded Soul Sacrifice. Not sure when I'm going to get into it, P4G is consuming my life right now.

Vita games I have started:
Hotline Miami
P4G
Uncharted
Gravity Rush
NFS Most Wanted
Mortal Kombat

Game I haven't started:
Wipeout
Frobisher Says
Strangers Wrath
P2:EP(getting IS this week too)
Soul Sacrifice

Games I've finished:
......

Soooooooooo much to play. UI question: is it possible to change which page is the default when the Vita is turned on? Or is it just the first one always?
 
Where is the vita version of putty squad? >:(
The ps4 one is online and costs only 19.99€, i want it for vita >:(

I strongly disagree, they're all very obvious Monster Hunter clones trying to cash in on the fact that the Vita has no Monster Hunter so they can desperately fill that empty gap in the Vita library. Just because the gameplay is not identical to MH does not make them not clones.
 
Well I have gone and done it again. Over saturated my library so that I no longer have focus on any one game. I did this on Steam, where I would just zone out scrolling through my library thinking what to play.

It was a refreshing change to pickup a Vita with a game or two and focus on them, but oh no, muggins here had to just keep buying every game that took his fancy. And now a sale approaches...time to import that 64gig.

Make folders. One for backlog games and one for games you've completed. Only have one or two normal games outside of the folders and focus on those one at a time. :P
 
Here are some Injustice impressions. First of all, the game is 3122MB big and has the ugliest bubble I have seen so far ;)

Initially, I was underwhelmed by the graphics. The offscreen videos looked better and everyone said they were impressed by the graphics so my expectations may be a little bit too high. Still, without movement the game looks bland and everything seems low poly. While playing, the graphics are ok, especially when the effects are in play. Compared to the cutscenes the difference is staggering which breaks immersion a little bit. The cutscenes themselves have a noticeable compression so it looks a little bit pixelated.

The gameplay is smooth and fun. Haven't played the game before and wanted the Vita version because the controls align perfectly with my taste (4 button fighter is ideal for the Vita, blocking by back on dpad).
The tutorial explained a lot of stuff I already forgot, I am not a fighter player.
The story mode with its campaign style playthrough is presented very well even though the story seems kinda silly.

I like the game so far.

Just downloaded the Flower demo....
Holy shit this game looks beautiful. Can't belief thats sub native. It looks so smooth and crisp...

The petals are jaggy but it looks nice. Just wanted to test it and got hooked playing it again.
The motion controls are a little bit weird. Using the Vita like a steering wheel for turning feels unnatural. Rocking the sides back and forth move the petals in the wrong direction for my taste, should be inverted.
I actually would have liked more options for customizing the controls. Why can't I use the backtouch to turn? Why can't I use it for wind with motion controls?

Playing it on the Vita was also funny because I remember what big a fuss they made about using the power of the Cell to render the blades of grass.

Oh nice it's up. Came up in a search, I was looking at new releases.

It was also under new releases for me, just not on top :)

Always the first page.

I disagree, targeting the same market doesn't automatically make a game a clone, i could even understand calling toukiden a mh clone, but soul sacrifice? It's completely different.
Is fifa a clone of pes, virtua fighter a clone of tekken, ridge racer a clone of gran turismo and so on?
Like it or not "monster hunting" is now a genre, a monster hunting game is not automatically a monster hunter clone.

Damn. its nice having royksop for free, but the small vita screen is making me want to buy it on iPad..
We have this for free? :O

Does that make Halo a Doom clone then? No doubt these companies are cashing in on the monster hunter genre but to call them clones is going a bit too far IMO.

i solved this problem for me:

keep 1-3 screens with a dedicated game you are playing through (VLR & Tearaway for me)

then 1 screen with your "pick up an play" games (hot shots, spelunky, etc)

and another screen with a folder for backlog games. i dont access this until one of my dedicated games gets beat or deleted out of boredom.
