Did anyone post todays EU sale? I can't see it


VGX Nominations:



Killzone Mercenaries doesn't make the cut.


That's some great, great candidates.

Personally, I have a feeling it'll be between Tearaway or ALBW, with Animal Crossing as a sneaky out-sider. I was not that impressed with Pokemon tbh.

You don't have to tell me how you feel about it, Skyzard, I know, I know :p
 
Santa Color Costume Set
2013/12/18 DLC
Every shinobi student (inc. Rin and Daidouji) will get a Santa-ish variation of their original costume. Will be distributed as a set.

There's also another pattern but you should look forward to them when you get them

Ugh. I need this.

I've been meaning to play Shinovi Versus on my JP account so I could grab some DLC, but now.. I think I really have a reason to. Plus, I still haven't played any of the multiplayer yet since the code that comes with the game is region-specific.
 
Had an awesome vita-day today... I'm a *little* bit sick so I though, "fuck it" and called a sickie today.

Promised myself I'd make some real inroads into my backlog and I definitely have. Finished Killzone Mercenary, all but finished Hotline Miami and made a start on Sonic Transformed.

I love HM but this police station is getting on my tits and the Sonic racing game is really solid. The flying mechanic really is excellent...
 
Pretty much all the segments :)

I'd been playing for over two hours by the time I got to that level and I was a bit battle weary to be honest.

Need, a, break

So I preorderd the Soundtrack version of Tearaway, and it came with the Iota/Atoi avatars. Now my Vita is always trying to download them while it sleeps, and I am often greeted with a could not download message when I switch it on. I understand these avatars cant't be downloaded using a Vita, but all I want to do is stop my Vita from trying to download them. Any suggestions?

I really don't have any doubt that Tearaway would come in last (metacritic wise it's in last.. well tied for it, popularity wise it's in last by a far margin, so whether it's a journalist or public vote odds are it will come in last)

not sure which will take it though. ALBW is hands down the best received game on that list, but pokemon is always popular, and the animal crossing fanbase is larger and crazier then i ever give it credit for lol.

How does the VGX nominations work? Is it a jury?
 
lol its been 3 days since I made my order with Nippon Yasan, will mail them next week if the status of my order hasn't changed yet =P

I can't recall if it's a jury of video game related people or a public vote... either way it has no chance of winning (if it's a jury of video game related people zelda will win, if it's popular vote it will likely be zelda or pokemon)
 
Ratchet&Clank Nexus rated for Vita!

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-12-05-ps3-platformer-ratchet-and-clank-nexus-rated-for-vita

Problem is: I want a perfect port. I won't buy a lagging, horrible looking game. If it's not possible to hire a studio that can do this, or if it's not possible on a pure technical level don't do it.

It doesn't have too look 1:1 like the Ps3 Version, but it should be perfect for the Vita.

Given that the Injustice port is rather decent (though it looks rather shitty imo) we could at least expect them (whoever ports it) to get presentation and gameplay down the right way for Nexus.
 
That's funny: hotline Miami is the game that forced me to get a grip. I played it for two hours on a plane and was left with a claw for a left hand!

I live in Brisbane and checked everywhere for grips to no avail. I ordered one from eBay mate... Cheap as chips and does the job.

Thanks =D I will check ebay out then.

I love HM but this police station is getting on my tits

Haha I was stuck at the exact same spot! Managed to beat it when I found out you can target with sqaure.
 
Recently got a vita and since I stopped playing my PSP around 6 months after its release I'm looking for some PSP recommendations that are available on the EU store.

I also like this thread a lot and will be picking up tearaway later tonight after reading about it here.

Live long and prosper, vitabros!

God Eater Burst
Tactics Ogre
Valkyria Chronicle 2
Persona 3 Portable
Trails in the Sky
 
So we're about one year away from December 2014, which will be the 10th year of Sony being in the handheld console market.

What should we expect from it?
Vita being finally axed?
LOL.
 
While we're on the "where's that indie"...

Where the heck is Runner 2? Have the developers mentioned where it is? I don't like playing it on PS3 (got it from PS+)

More importantly, the game already has cross save functionality and the trophy list has PS Vita on it. It's going to happen, or else someone dun goofed big time.
 
Yeah I ordered a 64 GB and it's still being prepared. I don't live in the US and have chosen the 2-3 days deliver plan.

I am guessing your kidding, but I wouldn't worry about that. The Vita makes Sony money, I know we all bitch about them but those memory cards are a huge profit centre for them. On top of the PS4 accessory, even if it's support fades to just indies and the odd port, it's still a viable handheld.

Can't underestimate Minecraft either, kids eat that up and it's a full version, not PE, on the go on a machine that retails for £99-£130...

I'm waiting for my order to be shipped too. Since Tue the status says 'preparation in progress" :/

Apparently, we're in the same boat then, lol

Somehow I think it'd be smarter to take a minimal, if any, profit from memory cards to encourage software sales.

Also, Sony should advertise Minecraft like crazy on PS Vita. Or try to get a bundle together with it and LBP Vita.
 
Ahhh I hate my Vita. Recently it keeps refusing to read my memory card, which means I'm frequently resetting the system. I'm not sure if it's the Vita or the memory card; will have to find a spare memory card somewhere to test.
 
Have we heard anything new regarding Zero Escape 3? If I remember correctly, there was going to be some news before end of 2013.
 
For those worried about Nippon-Yasan, it takes them around 5 days to process and ship and order from the "Preparation in Progress" status.

You'd don't go to them for speed. :P

Any impressions on the vita version of the games, are they good ports?

Metal Gear Solid HD Vita sale today in EU

Any impressions on the game?

I though it was a pretty good port. The only problem which MGS2 suffers from more than 3 is the controls. But that was a problem on PS2 as well.

Amazeballs frankly, two of the best in the series and great ports.

okeidoke, I know the games are awesome, so if the ports are decent I'll grab it gladly! :)

edit: is the vita version missing the original though?
 
Does the collection have all numbered Metal Gear Solid games (by that, I include the first one for the PSone)?

after some googling, I think the original is only included in ps360 versions :(
 
Nah. That's NIER

Didn't say it was bad just that I thought it was over rated. Got ending A and B.
you-were-the-chosen-one.jpg


How are Riviera and Yggdra Union?

I've been interested in those games for a long long time, browsed around and see some people say they're bad?

Pretty good actually. I had fun with both.
 
^You get $10 by Mid December, so a week from now.

MGS HD Collection Vita was a plus freebie for EU PSN months ago =V
 
Going to sound like a real penny-pinching Scrooge McDuck here, but the Spy pack for Gravity Rush is up on the store again, although this time there's no PS+ discount included like the other packs, so I don't get dat 20p off!

Come on!
 
So I was finally able to pick up my Tearaway pre-order and it's quite good. It's taken my gaming time and probably will until finished. It's not just the graphics and way it uses the unique Vita features but also the overall presentation. I didn't see the main menu for quite some time (because I didn't restart the game for quite some time) but when I did I was taken by surprise.

When the main menu of a game makes you stare in wonder and is enjoyable to scroll through, that's a pretty good sign that it will be a pretty good game.

What a fantastic year for the Vita.

Edit:

Top of the page recommendation... Tearaway, duh.
 
Sword Art Online(based allgamesbeta collage), it has both first and third person view

Story

One day, when Rito was in his house, he suddenly became dizzy, and when he came to his senses, he was in a strange world. Momo suddenly appears, and from her he hears that he is imprisoned in a strange world and that Lala has been whisked away to a mystery dungeon. So Rito decides to head out and rescue Lala from the dungeon she is held prison in.

Contents

Action Part - Search the dungeons in order to save the heroines, and defeat the monsters that appear as you progress. On each floor of the dungeon an event with a heroine awaits.

My Room Part - The game starts in a room that resembles Rito’s house. This will serve as an area in which you and the captured heroines from the action part can spend time together. With the passing of certain events, players can form close relationships with the heroines.

Communication Part (Trouble Touch Time) – You can communicate with the heroines by touching the screen and using the back panel.

Adventure Part - This is the part that advances the story. Talk with the heroines to progress.

Yes, I was. :P

Seriously, though I wish for something that Sony has heavy involvement with (even if it's just full-funding to another game/studio).

There's Soul Sacrifice, Gravity Rush, Ore Shika, Freedom Wars for next year. But what else is there? I think SS and GR sequels are to be expected, IMO.

I dunno if this was elsewhere, too, but there was also this Creator Interview from Dengeki Playstation last week released on Nov 28 (well, a part of it), so it can be anything from PS3 to Vita to PS4:

Ogasawara-shi Tecmo-Koei (Toukiden Producer)
Being able to make Toukiden and Nobunaga's Ambition, it was a productive one year. We're currently making a much bigger title.

Takaki-shi Marvelous AQL (Senran Kagura)
2014 is extremely hot. Few titles and few announcements will be boobs-unfolded to the extent that it will not betray the swell in everyone's chest. I'm itching to release it ASAP.

Okamura Gust (Atelier Producer)
The chance that we announce a new Atelier next year is high. There may also be a non-Atelier announcement. Please don't expect too much.

I really really really would like to believe that it's Shinovi Versus 2 (and not a PS3 version >_>).

P.S. Don't ask me why Takaki's message is like that. Unless you have a better translation for it. Especially for おっぱい展開, which makes me imagine of boobs being released from all restraints.

Either ways, boobs.
