Good luck targeting kids when you're missing the most important games they care about.

Now they recognize the Vita's existence with Mincecraft carrying it in Japan. Wait until Dragon Quest Builders. Sony marketed the Vita wrong, they should have targeted the young audience, not a young adult demographic.

It's not 'a very bad thing' either. It's neither, it's just a 'thing'. Why care what something was announced for first? Why care if some other version comes out first? Barring rare exceptions, it's generally far easier to develop for more powerful devices first, since they require less (or no) optimization. You then release that version to get some income coming in, and work on other versions. Trying to spin this as some sort of negative 'not a good thing' is silly, it's sound business and makes perfect sense. It's coming out for Vita. That's all that matters.

mine did that but added trophies new trophies i got to the icon list
edit: ah cool, glad its working now!
Read my previous post: that's exactly what I said.
Given the monopoly Nintendo has on games that interest that audience, no, I think Sony was right to target the demo they did in Japan. The problem is that they lacked (and largely still lack) the kind of software that would get people to buy hardware.
As for DQB, I'm not expecting great things from it. I suspect no multi-player + a high price will hurt it. But hey, maybe it'll succeed in Yoshita's goal of moving more kids to PS4 or something.
Didn't know this damn..

Well it was working for a while but now I'm having the same issue I had before I updated to the newer firmware XD

I loved how he threw in there that they're going to push Minecraft more. So they've found a demographic they want to push on Vita, but they're going to leave it up to a game that released in 2014 and DQB, while not putting out any software of their own for it. GG.
Knack 2 for Vita coming soon! ¯\_(ツ
_/¯SCEJA doesn't make licensed games anymore and the producer of the Ape Escape games left Japan Studio a few years ago. The recent Yu-Gi-Oh! and Dragon Ball announcements indicate that they're not making up the difference by chasing third party games either.
It's a really confusing omission. Part of me wonders if they're holding that back to make it a feature in a DQB2 or something. They're pulling that with Dragon Quest Heroes lol
I'm always reading your posts, excellent recommendations!
Here. You haven't voted yet. Make sure you read the OP before posting.
Hah, now there''s a VitaGAF top 10 list! Nice post.
Damn, Blue Maxima's video about New 'n' Tasty! made not want to play the game anymore.
I kept reading it was solid 30fps in the first impressions and it can drop pretty severely. They also didn't fix some bugs that were present back when the game launched which is pretty disappointing.

Yeah, saying you're targeting games at kids and then missing a load of anime-tie-in child friendly software is ridiculous.
I agreed with your post on reddit a while ago about the direction SCEJA are taking though. I really, really dislike that they're only thinking global and no longer making local-market appropriate software.

What's the gist of it? Because your average Bluemaxima video is 90% moaning. I love that he covers Vita so widely but I haven't found his content watchable for quite some time.
Maybe check out LatestVitaGames if you wanted to see some other footage.
It's not his opinion (I don't agree with him most of the times) but just the footage of the game. As soon as he dropped down to a secret area the framerate went down considerably and those areas are pretty hard to clear.
He also said it's pretty buggy but only showed one of them so I'm not sure about that.
Thanks. I shifted to being a portable gamer full time a couple years back, so everything on my GOTY lists have been either for Vita, 3DS, or Android, with a rare PC game now and then.
Digimon is almost here, I'm really excited to play the game. I know it has a multiplayer mode, is it similar to Pokemon's?
I just found this on VGP's website now:

The price is a bit high isn't it?

Well they have to import it from Asia and the Canadian Dollar is really weak right now, so it's not that surprising.
I still haven't decided yet which version to buy...

Bloodstained is looking REAL nice:
Such an improvement from previous updates that they gave us.

That might be a better price than just importing it myself. If so, I'll definitely be picking up a copy.
Man, that looks really detailed and nice looking
. Love the cell-shaded look that style has and I hope its the one used for the final game .The Vita version is very far off from now (likely releasing a good deal after the PS4/X1/PC/Wii U versions launch, and that's sometime in 2017) but this style would fit the Vita perfectly.
Stylized games pop on the Vita (Jet Set Radio HD Vita and the Neptuina games come to mind), so looking forward to seeing this run on Vita in the future

This is just one of the looks the devs have been cooking up. Each update that they have, they have a form that you can fill out to choose what you liked best, or what you didn't like at all. You can see in today's update more shaders for both the character and the backgrounds, which again they ask for feedback on. I think it's pretty unanimous though, everyone loves this shader.
I actually enjoyed LEGO The Hobbit more. Of course, that's PS4 Hobbit vs. PS3 LotR. As long as you don't mind the lack of The Battle of Five Armies content, I highly recommend it.

Does anyone have a definitive list of games releasing for Vita in, say, the next 6 months or year (honestly i'm only specifically interested in rpgs/srpgs/drpgs)? I'm trying to figure out a couple preorders and I keep feeling like I'm missing stuff.
I just added Aegis of Earth to my preorders... also have Trillion and Stranger of Sword City. (Aegis was only $24 with amazon prime! $30 w/o).
There are other things like God Wars that aren't up on amazon for preorder yet...

Hey guys, so I was planning to buy Telltale's Game of Thrones for the PS4 (despite the middling reviews). It seems that for the retail version the final episode isn't included on disc, but you are able to download it at no additional cost. As the game hasn't been released in Japan, I was going to order it off Amazon. My PSN account is tied to the Japanese PSN store...Will I even be able to download the final episode if I buy the retail version (as the game isn't on the Japanese store). Does anybody know?

Man. So excited. I hope they can capture the magic of SoTN.

If the "Final Episode" is treated as a 'DLC' (aka you have to download it from the PS Store), then you need an account. If it is an "update", then you should be able to download it regardless of your account region.
Also, since you are on PS4, you can just get a sub-account on US/EU (or whatever region you are importing from), and download on that instead if needed.
Okay, cool. So from what I can understand, worst case scenario I will just have to create a non-Japan PSN account and download the DLC (episode 6), then sign off and go back onto my main account and I should be able to access it. Shouldn't be a problem. Thanks!
Figured I'd ask here hoping someone might know. I was curious if anyone knows how the JPN PSN store is updated, the Dragon Quest builders demo was scheduled for the 22 but I still haven't seen it uploaded to the store. Really interested I. Checking it out with my daughter so I wanted to see if anyone was more familiar with the JPN side.
As a side note they did put up a demo for Crypt of the Necrodancer and that game is fucking awesome, hard as hell but still soo good. I can't wait for that to release in the U.S on PSN

Sorry for the very late reply.
First of all there are way more japanese exclusive games than those, for example Night of the True Kamaitachi that i'll never stop begging for, second games like Trails of Cold Steel, other Kiseki games and others only now are getting localized, they are old, at the time of their releases there weren't plans for localizations.
About Limited Run Games your reason alone is futile because:
1)Sony also has the more successful PS4, but again most of their games are vita games
2)Doing the same on PC for example would have been way easier(no sony rules and stuff) and cheaper(cheap dvd and dvd boxes instead of expensive vita propretary cards and boxes), Pc retail is dying? Yes but LRG is not for the masses, is for those who want to collect games, i'm sure that the world is full of pc gamers that would buy limited releases, look at kickstarter rewards for example.
About Pc games, well you keep being as realistic as 3ds owners dismissing vita lists, didn't sony try to get Type 0 on Vita for example? Sony can't go against developers will and plans, if those games ended on vita is because developers were already at least slightly interested on vita, Sony at max gave them a little push.

I was talking about the ones already released, they chose to start with vita, do you think that the platform where a new little company decides to start betting all their few money means nothing?
YianGaruga

There is one game already released.
They chose to start with the games they made themselves, which are B&C (Vita only) and SMRPG (Vita & PS4)
Breach and Clear and SMRPG are also on PC.

And no one cares about retail PC games
Damn do you read my posts or what?
LRG is not for the masses, it's called LIMITED RUN for a reason, it's for collectors, the world is full of collectors even on pc, look at kickstarter rewards for example, the psysical editions are always among the most requested.

I can go to humble, right now, and buy B&C for 2,24€, download the DRM-free installer, burn it on a disc, and have it preserved forever. It can be copied again and again, making the concept of a limited release redundant.
How do I do that with the Vita version? That's why LRG exists and does limited runs of console games, not PC.

Seriously though, I don't get this. F2P games by and large haven't done fantastically on Vita (outside of PSO2 and maybe Destiny of Spirits).
I guess Borderless Mission must've done well enough for them.
It's okay. I think I'm done with this conversation anyway. We don't agree and we aren't going to agree. I don't particularly want to keep going around in circles with you.

I just thought to myself, what if the Attack on Titan game turns out to be really good.

Unsure if this is the right thread but didn't want to make a new thread for this:
When using the PS4 to browse the PS Store I keep finding PS3 games all over the place. It really annoys me. Is there anyway to browse the store without PS3 games appearing?
