Currently on the Sony side personally there is not a team with the ability to pull off such a feat. The only ones that "might" come close is Level5. Which is something they had tried way back in the days with White Knight Chronicles though that game got fucked up somewhere in the process when an earlier version that I had hands on with was better than the finished product. The character models took a step backwards too. I had heard that they were told by Sony to add in features which caused changes to the design. Though there does not seem to be any official reports about that. Though would not be surprised esp considering how the title turned out poorly.
Though these days does not seem like Level5 is really all that interested in doing such titles anymore unfortunately.
I still have no idea how the hell Monolith Soft does it. Even though the N3DS port was done by a US company, Monster Games most def they worked closely with Monolith Soft. Kinda interesting too with Monster Games doing the port since for the most part they seem to do racing titles. Asides from the Donkey Kong Country Returns / Pilot Wings Resort 3DS titles.

I'm sure Sony knows exactly what the usage stats on remote play are. If they are good enough, it could justify a remote play centric device (4 triggers, etc), and any other changes to hardware to 'update' remote play to make it work better.
I mean, there's going to be a market for that type of device even after we have PS5s. So there is a chance. On one hand, it seems like a terribly remote chance, on the other hand, it does make sense when you consider the future of remote play.
I don't think they'll spend the R&D on a new model, but they could easily do a PSP 2000->3000 situation where they just buy a better screen for cheaper and call it a new model. In this case it's not up to Sony to spend money but their parts suppliers.
On the other hand, if they're not planning a new handheld anytime soon then I wouldn't be surprised to see a few more changes.

Waste of money since its not like the Vitas are flying off the shelves. So there is literally no reason to do any sort of "standard" update to the existing model. Now if we were still in the old days of the PSPs golden era then yeah I can see the reason for the constant hardware updates.
The only thing that would make sense is releasing a version that removes features that are not being used as much anymore with most developers which is the cameras and rear touchpad. Then adding of L2 / R2 for remote play. Still can have L3 / R3 functionality work via touch screen. Granted not everything will be perfect with that sort of setup, but its better than making the analog sticks fragile by adding the functionality of pushing them for L3 / R3 functionality as there is limited space as is within the hardware outside of durability worries.
I'm curious about this. Did the earlier version you received look remotely close to any of the revealed trailer they shown us back in the day?
Parakeetman
No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
I dont remember what the original trailer looked like, but the earlier version of the game was nicer looking than the finished product. Which is why you can imagine I was not too amused with the actual retail release.
Its too bad they kept trying with the series too and it just could not gain traction at all. And the odd PSP release, though think someone else worked on that one and not L5.
Don't you think that the future of remote play is the Xperia line (other smartphones) and not a new dedicated device that I very much doubt would sell well?
With DS4 pairing it's superior to a Vita already with a way more ergonomical control solution. Maybe less portable, but does anyone really remote play in commute or something like that when the internet connection requirement is pretty steep?

I have been away from the Internet for the past week due to a near fatal accident (thanks truck driver swerving to my lane). Oh and I won't be getting any new games for this month and the next due to my hospital bills. As much as I want to spend on a possible Golden Week sale, I don't have any to spare.
What did I miss guys? Any new games / news? Also that dancing Vita Memory card gif is good.

I've honestly never heard it described as a visual novel before. I guess the closest it would get to vn is that the choices you make affect the story, but that isn't really a feature exclusive to vns.
The initial press release describes it as a tactical rpg, so I'm not really sure where the vn description came from.
As they say, lock if old but here's HK PSN Store right now:

Wow man. Hang in there, get yourself better soon!
Isn't that obvious?
Not everyone is informed, so if one reads lots of negative things about Vita he will end believing them no matter if they are the truth or not, and will buy the 3ds or something else.
It's a srpg, some people are trying to reach the top of a tower to stop the bad guy, but some of your characters are traitors and you need to find who(thanks to your powers and what people said and did) and execute one of them each time you go on the next level, you can even make a mistake and kill an innocent one.
Every time traitors are different so it's replayable and since each character has his own unique ability executing a character instead of another could be problematic if you find his ablitity useful.
The demo didn't have true visual novel parts, just some typical VN-like dialogues.
Sorry but it's clear that you want to see what you want.
If you want to call PSTV elegant, functional, well managed and so on, then do it, but it doesn't change the fact that PSTV is a device that is not compatible with all the games is supposed to and bombed hard, you can say all that you want but like it or not something that doesn't function as it should and doesn't sell at all is both badly realized and planned.

Since it's a pre-order, Sony can (and will most likely) just cancel it. They did the same when BF Hardline had a price mistake on the Czech PSN.
Damn. So that's why you have been silent the last few days. Take care and get well soon.

dOESN'T HUrt to try ;P
Pre-Orders on the HK store don't work the same as in the West.
This "free" item is basically just a 10% off coupon for when the product launches. You won't get the game for free.

Oh no, I hope you're alright.
Not too much on the exciting news front, I enjoy Monster Bag from PS+ and Omega Quintet seems alright from what I've played. Most exciting news is probably being saved up for E3 at this point.
I get the feeling this game didn't do well, I really enjoyed it though. If you like artsy stuff like flower and such you should really check it out. Fairly simple stealth puzzles, beautiful world, interesting way of storytelling.
Rest and heal, Cardinal ! I wish you the best !

I think it varies. Mine is still quieter than the 360 but it's always been moderately loud. A bit louder than the PS4 (usually). Can't hurt to blow out some dust though.
I think they made too many and have basically been burning off surplus for years. YOu can get them cheap enough on Amazon though. Does PA have Gal Gun PS3? I only see it for 360. I have the 360 version already, it's not as awful as outlets made it sound but I don't think I'd pay $90 just to play it with Move though it does seem more natural. That Dead Space rail shooter played alright.

Yeah, just search "Gal*Gun (Playstation3 the Best)" for some reason searching "Gal Gun" just brings up the Xbox version.
It could be fun game to play with Move on hot summer days so been thinking about getting it, Move+Camera is about 40 dollars here so not that big investment but Camera is dead after the game as it doesn't support PS4, but Move controller works with PS4 so that might have use in future.
It never was this loud. I even cleaned it and its still loud. I sit dying lol.

Thanks for the greetings guys! I won't be as active for a while but I'll be sure to be help answer questions about games that are within my capacity. For now, I'll just rest and hope to get out of the hospital as fast as I can.

If you can play games do it. Vita is a healer. And like every vitacat said please take care. Glad you are recovering.

Oh! Urg, improper search systems. And wow, I hate The Best covers but this one isn't too obnoxious and is way way cheaper. Maybe I should have left the 360 one sealed, lol.
The camera is only like $8 on it's own, not a big worry IMO. You can also try out some of the artsy fartsy move games on PSN, they released a ton at launch like Tori-Emaki. They're all pretty simple but neat to see how the camera is used...but you can also kinda see why camera stuff didn't really take off, fun for a gimmick, no meat for a longer, deeper game.
If you have Octodad it's pretty fun with Move. Plays best with move + navi though two moves to move both arms can be funny.
Damn, that's scary. I can't count the number of close calls I've encountered because of idiots on the road. I hope you get better soon!
Dude that majorly sucks But It's Goods To Hear you're okay. I hope your recovery is fast and painless.
That's scary.
Thank God I live in a country where I don't have to worry about hospital bills too much.
Time to work on your backlog then, while you get better.

Man, that is horrible what you went though
. As someone who was in a car accident myself, it is very scary when it happens. Wish you a smooth and swift recovery cardinalmind. Regarding any gaming news you might have missed, Level-5 announced a new IP (The Snack World) alongside Fantasy Life 2 (though that is mobile exclusive :l), Titan Souls is coming this Tuesday (looks promising
) and we got that amazing 64GB Memory Card Gif that is going to be part of Vita Gaf for a very long time .You will buy a Vita and you will enjoy it.
Some people aren't a fan of the genre. It's not difficult to understand.

Maybe you could look out for a sale for a Vita? I mean, if you do not have the time to play it, at least get it for the PS+ tittles that come every month, the cross-buy games you have on PSN and the PSP/PS1 classics you own
.I say even with little time, a Vita is a great purchase, as due to its portable nature, you can take it anywhere with you and play games how ever you see fit. The Vita's suspend and resume feature really helps make long games like JRPG's and long platformers feel great to come back to

just finished a replay of Rain and it's still absolutely beautiful, if you haven't bought Rain what the hell are you doing
The most underrated game on the PS3. It's definitely not for everyone, but Team ICO and thatgamecompany fans owe it to themselves to play it. Some parts of that game are just jaw-droppingly gorgeous.

Maybe? I have no idea how much smartphones cost, and I don't know enough about the smart phone market to know what percentage Apple, etc have on lockdown. You might be right that pairing a controller with some sort of tablet/phone device is the future. It all depends on price points and market penetration though. Are they willing and able to release a remote play app for, say, an ipad? If so, then yes, that might make more sense - and you're right, it's probably far more likely.
As far as ergonomics go, though, I'm glad I don't have to balance a screen somewhere when I play my vita / remote play. I like it being one solid device. But I grant that the other option is superior in many ways, too.
Ok, that sounds awesome then. The Wiki (and some other pages I looked at) played up the 'visual novel' elements:
"Lost Dimension (ロストディメンション Rosuto Dimenshon?) is a 2014 video game developed by Lancarse for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. It is a role-playing video game with visual novel-like elements,"
and
"Lost Dimension also features a visual novel-like system where the choices of the player determine the fate of the game's story, as well as its characters."
Which got me worried it was set up like Danganronpa where the 'main game' was the visual novel and the combat was like the trial mini-games of Danganronpa and just tacked on.
Hmmm. That could be be really cool.
No, I see a device that makes sense. I don't like everything about it (and neither do you) but I understand -why- those decisions were made. I don't attribute it to malice, or disinterest, or 'deception', or bad management. I attribute it to business decisions that, like it or not, generally make sense even if it pisses some of us off. For example, there was no chance it would play every Vita game. You hold that against them. I say: "obviously it doesn't play every vita game, it would be impossible!" The PSTV didn't fail because it doesn't play 5% (or whatever) of Vita games. That is a non-issue in the marketplace, even if that lack of coverage pisses you off.
As for the word elegant, you are continuing to misunderstand my usage of it. The PSTV is a cute little box like the Apple TV that sits under my tv and looks elegant, just like my Apple TV does.
When I hooked up my PSP to my tv, it was an ugly mess.
When I play my PSTV with my DS4, it remains a pretty little device under my tv.
When I played my PSP with lots of wires, it was lots of wires stretched across my living room being an ugly mess.
One is an elegant solution to a problem, the other isn't. That's all I mean by the word. And due to its elegance in design, I would prefer a PSTV like device over a vita with HDMI out. (in a perfect world, i'd have both)
That's all I mean by 'elegant'... you're reading wayyyy to much into that word and attributing much meaning to it I don't mean.

I don't trust people enough, so there's no way I'll buy any electronic used (unless I really need to) because I'm sure that I'll grab something that'll break in weeks.
Thanks to PSPlus and a few sales, I already got a couple of really good Vita games. And I also plan on getting some games that are still going to be released.
The problem is the play time, since I basically have Friday nights and weekends to play and study. But overall, I think it will be a good purchase.
If everything goes to plan, will get it in the beginning of next month.
Shizuka, me passe um site bom para eu comprar acessórios pro Vita. Já achei Fone, Protetor de Tela e Cradle na BBG e Zig, mas ainda quero uma "bolsa" pra proteger ele da sujeira.
TOTP: Buy Titan Souls this week! Support Devolver Digital, they really deserve it.
They'll soon release Hatoful Boyfriend for the Vita, and The Talos Principle (My GOTY 2014) on PS4.
