Few impressions coming in of LEGO Marvel's Avengers on Vita. Seems this is the legit open world they promised:

Yes!!! This could be one of the most fun games of 2016, next to Oddworld!

That's been there since the tech demo of Yakuza running on a Vita when they showed off the console.
You can also see a page for Lost Planet Vita.
Oh I see.
Lost planet Vita? That's.. well nevermind.

Th Witness is up on the PS4 store (EU), buy it if you, like me, have waited over 5 years for this game! 
Pretty sure they should be tomorrow, around 28 hours from now

There are a handful of Disney games on sale today on EU PSN.
Stuff like Hercules, Toy STory 2 on PsOne or Hercules. PSP Games too, and PS3.

Some LEGO Marvel open-world footage on Vita, off screen.
I may buy this on Friday. I know LEGO games are easy to find long after launch, but I've been itching for something like this on Vita for ages. And as lame as it sounds, I feel like putting this kind of effort in improving the handheld versions deserves to be shown support

Spiderman on Vita has a better draw distance.

I mean,it's their first go and it's still held back by a 3DS SKU. The fog is only really an issue when he's really high up.
I'm pretty pleased anyway. Was expecting it to still be hub-based but it's a legit open world, even if a bit foggy.

Yeah you should. As you said, DLC goes rarely on sale and it's a steal at that price

Sorry for double post but:
I have a Question:
How do you download PSP Add Ons to Vita?
PS3 Transfer...?

Might as well tweet here too, Energy Hook dev tweets it's unlikely the Vita version is coming ("at this point", whatever that means)

My list of Vita games I was anticipating in 2016, before the year started:
- Aegis of Earth
- Assassin's Creed Chronicles
- Atelier Escha & Logy Plus
- Attractio
- Civ Rev 2 Plus
- Digimon Cyber Sleuth
- Drift Stage
- Drifter
- Energy Hook
- Gundam Extreme Vs. Force
- Not a Hero
- Paranautical Activity
- Ray Gigant
- Severed
- Tales from the Borderlands
- Trails of Cold Steel 2
- Trillion God of Destruction
- World of Final Fantasy
Bolded have been cancelled already. Tbh I'm half expecting Attractio (Vita version coming "later"? hmm...) and Drifter (haven't heard anything in so long) to be cancelled too. New localization announcements should fill some gaps so it's not going to be a bad year, but still.

I can't believe you missed the Vita logo at the end of the attractio trailer!
On another topic: Jonathan Blow (and his team) is a genius!
Ofcourse they put the game on sale but not the dlc. Still waiting on that Nier remix CD to be released.
Welp, it has been over a year. Might just say screw it and buy all the Drakengard 3 and Nier dlc.

Far Cry Classic and Far Cry 2 are on sale. How good are them on PS3 ?
I can buy only one of them, which one to pick ?

I'm probably just being dramatic, but yeah. Here's a GIF of Energy Hook running on Vita, from September last year:

And now it's "very unlikely" the game is coming. UFF.

For PSOne Classics: I already own FFVII and FFIX. Are these good prices for the other games? I have V, VI, VIII, and Origins in my cart right now.

You torture me! I've bought it, but I'm out of town for a couple of days, so I can't even fire it up for a quick go.
Been a busy day with my first day back at college so didn't get a chance to respond to a lot of posts here XD! Today was a great day for the Vita . Played a few games at once while waiting for my second class (first class was canncelled....with no email being sent to anyone, after I woke up early and waited an hour for class :l). SAO Level Grinding, watching some YouTube, playing a few indie games at once, and playing some good ol' Crash Bandicoot for a few minutes; strong way to kill four hours of waiting XD!
This is a great deal, as both of those games you listed (in addition to a majority of the PS1 Disney games on sale) are solid action platformers with good controls, great music and fun level designs.
Looks great! Love the open world parts of the Lego games and with the Vita version of Lego Avengers being open world.....will get this at some point this year to show that I want more Lego Handheld games to mirror the console versions. Great job on TT Fusions Part .
Had no idea Energy Hook was scrapped on Vita. Looked so much fun...... I guess they thought putting resources into the Vita version was not worth it, considering they got the game to run really well on Vita based on that Gif. Not a Hero is likely in the same spot; it was scrapped due to the Vita version being a 'waste' of resources on the publishers part. More and more indies being scrapped on Vita......at least JP localizations will fill the void as more indies get canceled throughout the year :l.
You're right; the last Wensday of the month is where Plus games are normally announced. I have a feeling they will be the following.
-PS4: Not a Hero, PS2 Classic
-PS3: Retail PS3 Game, Indie Game
-PS Vita: VVVVVV, 1001 Spikes

Okay so I am hoping someone here can help me with this problem. I made a new world in Terraria on vita and I can't use my right stick in any cursor mode. Switch back to my old world and the stick works just fine. Also the stick responds in any other game with no issues so I'm thinking it's Terraria and not the system. Has this happened to anyone else?
Edit:
Odd but it's now working. I have no clue what happened.

It's time for Sony to announce the Vita successor!
Edit: but first they have to release XCOM.

To be honest, it was waning last year, when the PS Blog was filled with indie announcements and nearly all of them were for PS4 only, and these games were asked for on Vita and we'd maybe get a comment saying "perhaps at some point in the future" or more often it was "unlikely".
Which y'know, I can handle because they were never announced for it in the first place. What I'm struggling to handle is all this stuff I've been looking forward to for a number of years being canned. Energy Hook especially, it's been going on since 2014 and he's got the game fricking running on Vita. Put a bit of time in optimization and release it =/
So only the best indies are released? I'm ok with that.
Man i'm starting to be sick and tired of this community, every time something happens "vita is dead", i was ok with haters saying that when vita got less support than now, but now that even Square and some western developers are making vita games? From Vita owners when even haters almost stopped hating? I can't deal with it.
Yeah let's ignore all the games coming because a pair of indies are being cancelled, i understand that some of you were hyped for them but be realistic, how many big games are cancelled for home consoles(star wars 1313, Legacy of kain whatever etc)? Have you ever even though that home console were dying because of that? Do you miss so much the doom and gloom that you need to do it yourself?
Anyway changing the subject, what's the appeal of energy hook? It always looked to me like a bad looking spiderman game with nothing to do, didn't it started as an attack on titan fan game or i'm confusing it with another game? Where are the titans(or the action in general)?
Well you shouldn't, the more the better, but it's not even the case of making so much doom and gloom like some here.

4 indies cancelled in just over a month (Banner Saga; Energy Hook; Never Alone; Not a Hero), one of them saved by Gio. That's not "a pair of indies".
Now, only 2 of them were stuff I was bothered with, but that's enough to bring it up. I'm not massive on indies, but a few of them make up some of my favourite games on the platform (Geometry Wars; Guacamelee; Hotline Miami etc.), so when promising stuff gets cancelled it is moan-worthy, sure.
In what way are these situations similar? Game getting cancelled outright across all platforms because of publisher problems =/= port of an indie game getting cancelled because the dev can't be bothered.
That's the thing though, support is changing. So we've gained some minor support from 2K (two games if we're lucky) and some decent support from Square Enix (of which only one is announced in the west so far), but the indies are certainly slowing down even if they're still coming. Surely you understand that some people are going to be bothered by that?
That the web-swinging mechanics in spiderman 2 were fantastic and this was designed by the same guy. I liked the extreme-sports design of it myself.
What good will it bring to argue about them though, especially if it was done plenty of times before?
The reason these games are getting cancelled is because the publishers and developers are not that confident of the install base and the sales. Sony's stance and Vita being 4 years old doesn't help it either. I think the best we can do is to support the games we are waiting for before they are on sale, I can't possibly think of anything else.
By the way did anyone try Lego Marvel's Avengers? After I heard that it was open world I was excited but BlueMaxima wasn't really happy with it in his video.

I've said it before in this thread, but BlueMaxima is happy with very little.

It's a domino effect. "Oh those guys pulled out and they managed to do just fine on the main platforms". I agree with those saying that this, and maybe a bit of 2017 too, will be the last years of the Vita. Until then, if a game that I want comes to it, I'll play it there. But in no way shape or form am I as attached to the device as I was a year, two, three ago. I've already let go and moved on. No point arguing of making a fit, Vita gave us some great games but it's time final days are coming slowly but surely.
