Speaking of which, dare I ask how you got such a tag?
Bububu it's allways been that way.
Well we know there are unlockable taunts and that one is deserving to be the ultimate unlockable for Sly!
Mh, I see. Let's hope for customizable controls in the full game.
Likely from my intolerance for performance dips.
Really? Didn't know that because I gave up trying to use it in the former betas because it was so hard to pull off.
Yeah that's true.

The vita version is amazing. Definitely a day 1 buy for me
I only played the Vita beta last night for about an hour but I think it's been improved across the board.
Activating supers now but just hitting R instead of L + R works a lot better for me, as weapons don't seem to be as high a priority when compared to supers. Tapping the touch screen with my right thumb takes no time at all, so that works out really well.
The colors and black levels seemed to be tweaked a bit too, but that could just be my eyes playing tricks on me.

Isn't it just a matter of getting used to the new scheme?

I think it's only crossplay via online in the beta so you need to invite the other player to your party.
Yeah, I just tried that but since me (ps3) and my brother (vita) use the same PSN ID there is no real way of doing this. I am guessing I have to create a new ID on PS3.

I just had a 2v2 match against two people with the same ID, but had (1) behind the name. Maybe there is a way?

PS3 with 2 controllers.
You can remap the buttons and look into turning the brightness on the Vita to Max.

Its 17.00 CET now, lets fire up our PS3s!
Everything from today's update is up, either in the store or via search, except the Beta.
If we end up not getting this, just like YouTube and PS Mobile I'll be angry.

Check the playstation plus section on the new store.
Its telling me that i have to have plus to play the vita version though. This shouldnt be the case from my understanding??

We did our best to save the Euro :<

Weird. I downloaded it 5 hours ago from australia :S.
I don't think so. The image is razor sharp and, from such a close proximity, it's easy to keep up.
Seems SCEE screwed up with putting the Vita beta up early. Not on the Vita store, and it's in the PS+ only section in the new PS Store. (good thing I'm a PS+ member)
Quite the opposite. I find it alot easier to follow everything that's happening on the Vitas screen than I do on the PS3 version.

No sign of the beta on the UK store. Oh Sony, why have you forsaken me?!
I'm getting a few, but it's nowhere near as bad as the private beta was.

It was there in the new-look PS3 store before they cruelly took it away.

nothing in ESP store.
really? because i can play maybe 1 full game for every 10 attempts
Played the beta bit on the PS3 and now playing it on the Vita.
I'm having a lot of fun. Hard to differentiate the characters sometimes and a bit hectic when it's zoomed out on PS3. (I'm using a big tv, so the eye travel distance is probably a factor.)
Edit: My connection Vita is great. 5 games without issues. One the host quit out of the game after he probably got owned quite a bit at the start.

It's not up on the UK Vita store either, unless you were talking about that.

So it is P2P and not dedicated servers. I hate that.
I would hate it, but the game is buttery smooth online so it doesn't bother me whatsoever.

Why. If the netcode is properly engineered you can feel virtually lagless. GGPO comes to mind. I could play with someone with 400ms and have a smoothest feeling than kaillera with 100ms.
Aw dang, that sucks.
Hopefully matchmaking will be improved for you soon.
i dont know if its just my connection because it can be slow at times but hopefully maybe at night its better. want to play a few games and learn some more moves hahaThat is true. I never got hit by the Hydra in the private beta.
Now I have been bitten by the Hydra a few times.
Still digging the beta but Kratos and Radec could use some rebalancing (apologies if this has been said before). Kratos' "get really big and kill everybody" special is ridiculously overpowered (he can get twice the kills of anyone else's ultimate during its duration easily) and Radec's sniper rifle adding 30-60 AP a shot is...a bit much, especially given how easy it is to sit back and just plink away. I think these would not be problems and could be kept if there were more opportunity for other characters to make big plays like that.
But hey, I won two matches with Parappa so I am prepared to give this game a lot of leeway.

I feel the same way about Kratos being a bit over-powered when it comes to his third super, but I do win my fair share of matches against Kratos players when I'm Sweet Tooth still.
