So a boy and his blob isn't crossbuy? The drop didn't list it as such. They've lost a sale from me if so. It also says the vita version is coming out 2 days after the ps4 version? Bizarre.

Oddworld shows up as free (cross-buy) on EU PSN for me
just got it
Yeah, I think you're missing the point again here. Asking a developer that has no interest in Vita to port anything to the console is going to be a waste of time and effort on our part. Even Borderlands 2 way back in 2013 needed Sony to step in and handle it (and the point with that game was that Gearbox said multiple times that they were interested in bringing it).
Liam made it clear in his post that if a publisher isn't interested in the console, they're not interested (or their marketing department will say no). And that's that. Doesn't matter how big or small the game is if the answer is just a flat out no regardless.
Obviously some companies won't want to, but I fail to see why you're implying it's not worth asking for them?
As for examples, I'd start with ones that already remade their games for mobile -- stuff like Bard's Tale, Baldur's Gate, etc.
Some of the titles I currently have in mind for the list include Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, Tomb Raider: Go, Megaman Legacy Collection and Sword Coast Legends. These are games that span from likely (Baldur's Gate) to relatively simple (Tomb Raider: Go and Megaman) to complex, but doable (Sword Coast Legends, which runs on Unity).
1)Have you already forgotten that there was a time when we had to beg for every localization? Companies were "not interested" on localizing vita games, now almost every good game is automatically localized without begging, that's because we insisted and then proved that it was worth, "not interested" isn't necessarily for ever.
there's limited run games that almost does only vita games(why not 3ds or pc for example? Think about it),
3)Again maybe you didn't notice but what i'm asking for is already happening, aren't duke nukem 3d, alien shooter, day of the tentacle, crimsonland, full throttle and others old pc games on vita? I'm just asking for more games like those.
Again, he's already aware of titles like that:
https://www.reddit.com/r/vita/comments/3b3rnx/going_to_try_launching_a_small_campaign_to_get/
So they'll either be part of the campaign he starts next week, or they'll fall in the "no interest from the publisher category". We'll find out either way but I trust him enough to know what he's talking about regarding publisher interest (or not).
If there's more PC ports people are after, then I don't mind asking for them, but we should probably just let him run this campaign he's already started rather than heckling for the next titles already. There will come a time when and if this campaign is successful that he'll be taking other suggestions.
Uhh? I remember in the first year of Vita's life, there weren't a great deal of localizations, because there weren't a great deal of viable games released in Japan. Yet even then, things like Disgaea/Little King's Story/Persona/Ragnarok Odyssey came across without asking.
Then as soon as things like Atelier/EDF/Ys started releasing in Japan at the end of 2012, we started getting announcements for overseas releases. I don't remember having to beg for them.
Then from about 2014 onwards we've just gotten the smaller stuff (DanganRonpa; Demon Gaze; Dragon's Crown; Mind=0; Sorcery Saga etc). without anyone really having to ask any localization company. So again, don't remember the begging.
I do remember begging for a select few localizations - Tales of Hearts R (which clearly didn't do well enough for them to consider Innocence R) and Digimon (which remains to be seen whether we get the sequel). I wouldn't say either of them led to good games "automatically [being localized] without begging".
I don't understand your point here really.
Because Sony's limited print run numbers are smaller than Nintendo's. Pretty simple really.
I don't think any Double Fine stuff is worth mentioning because that's handled with Sony's help. Duke Nukem 3D came about just because Devolver had picked it up, so you'd need them to pick up more similar games for PC and then try porting them to consoles.
The rest of them? Fair points. Again, I'd highlight what I said to autoduelist above and maybe wait to see what happening with the games he knows have a shot first then when he does another round of asking for games, bring them up then. Let's walk before we run, yeah?
He told you why that is, it's only possible on Vita because of the low minimum order quantity that Sony has. PC is not comparable as physical copies really aren't a thing anymore and there aren't many collectors. LRG are also doing PS4 games if you haven't noticed.2)digital only indie games exist even on 3ds and pc(that you straight ignored) as everything else, but LRG choose to make almost only vita versions, is that really the best you can think of?

This whole argument is nonsensical.
Which games are you talking about?
You can get special physical editions on the site of some indie games, LRG could help expanding the number of games, with cheap dvd and dvd cases it would be easy, cheap and with a huge userbase, instead they went with the more expensive vita cases and memory sticks for a way smaller userbase.
About the games just look yourself at these lists of vita games

1)Have you really forgotten all the games that remained in Japan?
Things like the sony campaign aren't the only way to beg for, how many forum, sites and developers twitter accounts are full of vita port/localization begging? Developers changed, they are more social now and take into account all these things.
2)digital only indie games exist even on 3ds and pc(that you straight ignored) as everything else, but LRG choose to make almost only vita versions, is that really the best you can think of?
3)you are doing exactly what 3ds owners do to dismiss vita lists trying hard to find some self-defined rules to cut as many games as possible, the truth is that there's a little but growing interest in porting old pc games on vita.
EU Blog have updated this weeks releases.
Sadly they won't publish the prices anymore.
lol SCEE is such a joke
This fucking sucks... How do we even now if we are charged correctly? Do I have to contact every dev/publisher, before making a purchase?
Also, no longer any pictures in the update, just a barebones list. You'd expect this in the early days of the ps store and blog, not 10 years in. This is insane...
Secondly, I absolutely feel your frustration and I wont try and sugarcoat the issue. I hear you loud and clear. Removing pricing information clearly makes this site less useful and less reader-friendly. This is not a change I made with a smile on my face
While I wont lie to you and say its going to happen in the immediate future, Im doing what I can to remedy the situation.
Thats all Ill say on the matter for now Im reading your comments though.
So weird
Yeah, saw that. Makes me think what it was to remove it... Not being able to list all currencies they cater to? Differences due to exchange rates? Pricing errors on the blog it self?
I can see them only listing percentages for discounts, but omitting the base price seems like such a strange omission. Surely it's not just their "understaffing".

No PS3 releases at all this week or couldn't they be bothered about it, or maybe asked not to list it?
Edit: Ok, I saw RE 0 on the top... that's all?
Any news on PSone games being playable on PS4?
My brother just bought Castlevania SoN and was completely convinced that he would be able to play it on PS4 lol.
I think Sony made it clear with the PS2 Classics launch on the PS4 that we're not going to be playing our PS1 games on the PS4 until they have come up with a way to make us pay for them again.

You'd have to target similar games to see any success from this. Some exist, but as I said to autoduelist, Liam was already aware of the more major ones so he'll have a response on those regardless.
One bad thing about Sony being in first place this generation is that they can get away with a lot more, with the PS2 Classics not being cross-buy with PS3's PS2 Classics being one thing that they got away with (another was charging for online).
The decision to charge for online was made well before ps4 was 'in first place'.
I don't think the decision to 'upgrade' ps2 games had anything to do with their placement, either. I think they knew damn well there was huge demand for ps2 games with trophies, and the only way they could convince publishers to do all the necessary work was to agree not to have crossbuy, since that would heavily harm sales [since all the biggest fans of a franchise already bought it, and many others might have already bought them on deep sale]. So reselling them as new product was the only way companies like rockstar would get on board.
Not everything needs to be 'evil Sony', there are plenty of other potential explanations that make far more sense than 'they're in first place so don't care about us'.
no discount for EU (or UK at least)
The EU version is almost assuredly going to be broken anyway. Should just buy the US version for PS2 classics.
I was checking the Store and noticed a link for "WB Sale", but when clicking on it, nothing shows.
Warner Bros sale, again, incoming I guess?
Saw Lego batman on sale been tempted before so I figured I'd ask gaf
Never played a Lego game what am in for?
Seen mixed reviews but like batman is this worth it for me?
Please assist me gaf
Are they not localizing the Vita version of Croixleur Sigma? I can't find news about it anywhere.
