It's telling when GR2 being on the Vita as well is more surprising than it only being for the ps4.
So judging from that that information, we can guess the following:
-They are testing the Vita controls with the PS4 Controller in ensuring both play well
-The Vita version of Gravity Rush 2 looks better then the original game in everything but Kat's character model and a few assets
-The PS4 version has a much more detailed world alongside apparently 60FPS
-Both are different versions of Gravity Rush 2 rather then a simple remaster of the first game on PS4.
Okay, but my big questions are the following:
-Will the Vita version come out in the US/EU or just Japan? It seems like the Vita version of Gravity Rush 2 mentioned in that beta tester post was made for a reason; ensuring that sells well on the current platform Sony has that is doing okay in JP (Vita)
-How will the version differences impact the game as a greater whole; the combat system will feel very different between the PS4 and Vita versions due to the higher frame rate of the PS4 version.
Regardless if this beta tester is telling the truth or not, its nice to hear something about Studio Japans 'big' game for next year alongside Last Guardian and Level-5's collaboration project.
Sony had barely any major news this week and Microsoft took center stage with a lot of things. It also helps that for them Rare Replay just came out this week (and it looks like I might have to get an X1 to play that sometime next year XD) and information on Rare's projects sparked some discussion on Gaf as well (R.I.P. Kameo 2, The Fast and the Furriest and Sundown :'(). TGS and Paris Games Show (when is the latter happening.....I guess September or October?) will make up for the lack of Gamescom.
Edit: It really didn't help that FFXV had a very underwhelming showing this past week as well
. The game looks so far away despite it having such a long developmental period....He said a few days ago he was going to attend that beta testing thing, that's the reason of the trip.
Thank Sony and its spokespersons.
Assuming it's all true, they're just testing GRHD for ps4 and GR2 for both, no differences.
And of course it's gonna come out in the west, if they bothered to release it on Vita it's just so that people don't start complaining and shit up their social accounts and it'll sell enough WW anyway but they're obviously gonna release it only digitally in the west because fuck you, B-tier customer. They even tried to pull the same shit with the first one.
That is a good point; they likely are making a Vita version to avoid another Typo-0 situation (which must have impacted sales of the console versions of Typo-0 HD in some fashion....) so if that is the case....good on Sony for doing a cool thing
.Not expecting it to happen at all though (with Sony calling the Vita a 'legacy' platform and dropping 'AAA' support on the console early this year), but it would be a nice surprise.
Looking forward to TGS, as that should be where Gravity Rush 2 is announced (bit Studio Japan project and a game announced at TGS in the past).
If we didn't get consistent localization's from JP third parties, tons of PS1/PSP games to play and indie developers bringing their games to the Vita, I would be a lot more angry with Sony regarding their first party support for the console.....
GR isn't AAA and, according to Yoshida, they're only gonna release digital-only multiplat games on it so that would fall into that category.
Really? Okay, guess I can be a bit more hopeful of GR2 Vita being a thing then
. Thanks for the heads up Prelude .Again, that post proves nothing, I'm just speculating here but with AAA they usually mean stupidly budgeted western games.Really? Okay, guess I can be a bit more hopeful of GR2 Vita being a thing then
I know that; that was why I said I can be a 'bit' more hopeful, not completely hopeful (you can't be regarding Sony supporting the Vita with new titles by them anymore....).
Its been almost three years since the teaser right?
edit: and people have been saying for years that the new gravity rush project was going be on Ps4 whether it was exclusive was the issue.
Well MvC3 Vita and parts of MGS2 HD have 60FPS on Vita
. They are ports of PS3/PS2 HD Remasters, but its an example XD.Soul Sacrifice Delta (I believe?) also has 60FPS and native res. on Vita too.
60fps is the "ps4" version, not the Vita one. And it's probably just "more than 30 unlocked", they can't pull off 60fps on ps4 either.

I won't let myself get hyped just yet.
(Well, I'm hyped about the game regardless, but I want to be able to buy it on Vita!)

So I'm having a weird issue with my DS4. The left analog stick won't recognize one direction. Like any time I want to go up and to the right, whatever game will read like I'm not using the analog stick. Is this a known issue? Anything I can do?
Thanks ya'll. Poor controller

Two things --
1) Anyone want to help me with two PS4 NFS: Rivals trophies? Two dirt simple online trophies (win a race against friend, bust a friend) are keeping me from that platinum.
2) flame over is surprisingly great. The meta game has some issues (odd things to level up, etc) and it took a minute to click... but hot damn.
Think spelunky, but replace the platforming with dual stick shooting / fire putting outtin'. Left trigger is a fire extinguisher (short, powerful), right trigger is hose (long, water)... so you need to go into burning rooms, extinguish, then soak, etc. Fires spread, burn differently for different materials... you can have electrical fires, people to save, cats to save...
Once you 'learn' the game it's really solid. Highly recommended at sale prices sub $5, and probably worth more to the right person.
Could just be getting free PR. Get people talking about it.
Stuff like that was a known issue with launch controllers. Controllers after shouldn't have it, although of course, some small % of controllers will always have some issue due to normal manufacturing issues.

Thanks everyone for the Pix the Cat impressions, much appreciated. I love arcade score attack games and action puzzlers so I'll pick it up.
In the meantime, I bought MXGP and I'm enjoying it so far. The controls are very satisfying, though it takes some practice since it's meant to be a realistic sim. Looks like a really good port.

So there's a chance it might be on PSV after all? Color me surprised. Wonder how the sales will be split between the two versions if this is true.
doesn't matter as long as you've finished 1

The hype is well warranted for that game. So freaking great. Get Journey if you haven't played that and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is coming out Tuesday. Second Son is great if you get it for sub $20, of course Bloodborne, and I really loved AC4/Watch_Dogs if you're looking for multiplats. Type-0 HD maybe if you can find a copy that comes with Episode Duscae? Destiny might actually be getting good with Taken King and PS4 is the place to play it so keep an eye out.
On a completely different note, Borderlands 2 on the Vita TV is an unmitigated disaster. Bunch of input lag issues that I don't think were in the regular Vita version.

Need a little more to go on... but...
Bloodborne -- another From masterpiece.
Resogun -- defender for the modern age. beautiful, wonderful, arcade goodness.
Crimsonland -- not so pretty, but pure dual stick action
The Last of Us Remastered -- worth playing again, and if you haven't played at all, a must play.
Drive Club -- so pretty. takes getting used to, but worth the time.
NFS: Rivals -- not my favorite NFS but still quite good
Wolfenstein -- reminds you why FPS are fun
Infamous / First Light -- solid good times
there are plenty of others worth checking out too, like Diablo, musuo games, etc.

I bought this from the Golden week sale. Have only played like ~4 hours of it since then due to lack of time but yeah, I'd recommend it as well.
If there is a Vita version Sony will boycott it so probably skewed toward the ps4 version.

That indie game that is set in Toronto, Actual Sunlight is out this Tuesday isn't it? I'd be pretty damn happy if I saw my street on there lol. I don't know what to expect from the game, whether it is open world or simply just tiny levels, but I'm excited to play it nonetheless. It's not every day that my city is the stage for a game.
Hopefully you got Rocket League from last month's Plus lineup. Had a PS4 for nearly 3 weeks now and that kept me from playing Bloodborne the whole time. And I was/still am seriously hyped for BB, but I just always get sucked into some matches with friends in the evening and end up playing way too long.
Driveclub is a solid racer, somewhere between Arcade and Sim, gets really good if you have a couple of friends to open up a club together.
The only other game I played until now was Samurai Warriors 4, which is a pretty good Musou game and the minor graphical upgrades in the next-gen version are nice.

If you did not own a PS3 then TLoU:R should be first on your list. DriveClub, Second Son and Wolfenstein are all great and look and feel very next gen. Avoid The Order. Consider KZ Shadow Fall if you really like single player shooters, but just go in knowing the story is undercooked. Get 3 months of PS+ just for Rocket League (and a discount on a purchase of the full version of DC).

I feel like I've asked this before but can't exactly remember;
Ukiyo no Shishi / Ukiyo no Roushi. Do you guys think these have a chance of coming West? (which company would be localizing them if so?)

I think very slim, NISA is a possibility for them I guess but I don't seem them being their priority at least.
For me, it was the fact very little of the PS4 library held interest to me, so I was (and still am) content with playing stuff on my Vita and (for Persona 5) PS3
. I still plain on getting a PS4 (as next year has a lot of great stuff for the console like Ratchet, Nier 2, and many more
!) but I am also considering picking up a X1 in the future as well. .....Gotta get Rare Replay, Killer Instinct and Battletoads in the future after all XD!Same here, but getting the inferior versions of multiplats isnt gonna cut it much longer for me, especially if games run better on ps4 (for example Estival Versus at 60fps vs 30 for vita)

Rare replay and Killer Instinct are the only BONE games that I have any interest for. I still might buy one tomorrow because of the insane Best Buy deal. Never thought I'd own a BONE before a PS4 but if they're going to practically give it away....
I didn't know about that Bust Buy deal.....still plain on getting a PS4 first but will jump at a X1 the moment they announce more games Rare has in the works early next year
.Really happy Microsoft is giving them more freedom and respect than in the past :'). Massive difference in comparison to the late 360 era where concept after concept was scrapped due to them wanting them to only make 'family friendly' games and work on stupid Kinect X(. Link to the scrapped/canceled games for reference :'(. 16+ pages of scrapped games......what a shame man :'(.
Most multiplats look better on Vita since they're first and foremost Vita games so that's not really a problem.
Very good point and the fact they are Vita games first and foremost ensures developers making the game that it runs well on the Vita and it takes advantage of its hardware well (a lot of JP developed games seem to be native res, if stuff like the Hyperdimension games and Tales of Hearts R are any indication
).YianGaruga

I love my VIta but no
Higher resolution + higher framerate will always look better. Especially when we're talking about EV.
Vita has advantages but that isn't one
I was talking in general, most games do look better on the Vita.
Cyber Sleuth is literally a 1:1 port and it looks like trash on ps4, for example.
The games came out back in January and we haven't heard a peep. XSEED would probably be the go-to since they brought over Way of the Samurai 4, but I don't think that did well for them.

If anything it looks identical. I don't see how it looks like trash when it's literally the same game
I recall Bamco releasing PS4 screenshots after the announcement of the games Vita localization and its PS4 port, with the screenshots looking quite nice; the game has a great art-style and look that really pops in the PS4 screens.
The Vita version will look fantastic too (as it was built in-mind for the platform originally) but that doesn't mean the PS4 version will look bad, as it could look really great too
. If your commenting on the quality of Bamco's Vita to PS4 ports, then I would say that its been mixed; stuff like Jump Stars Vs. (the PS4 version looks/runs worse then the PS3/Vita versions) and SAO Re:Hollow Fragment (the PS4 version improves on elements in the Vita build, with a higher frame rate and some texture improvements).
They are getting better at making Vita to PS4 ports, so once Lost Song launches, we will have a better idea if Digimon will have a good PS4 port
.Its only Bamco's shitty rushed ports that look bad on ps4. Every other multiplat either looks and/or performs better on PS4.
Because higher dpi+smaller screen=better looking if everything is the same.
It looks absolutely horrible in 1080p while it's a thing of beauty on Vita, we have screenshots, look at them.
Akiba's Trip is the same.
Forgot about that one, but it wasnt exactly a looker on vita/ps3, and PS4 has better performance with framerate and loading which is what is most important for me.
