PlayStation Network Thread (Vita/PS3/PS4) | June 2014

So the Ratchet Collection on Vita is as bad as we all though :l. What a shame.....Ratchet 3 on the go would have been AMAZING to have :D (must have beat that game at least 6 times already :)).

Still, it is odd that there has been no date for the US version of the collection :l; its like SCEA knows it must be bad or something... If it is cross-buy (I own the collection digital on US PSN), then I will give it a shot; I got the GOW Collection for free thanks to that PS Trail glitch and really enjoyed that (the only bad thing was badly compressed cutscenes), so if this is like that, then I will be happy :).

Besides, the really factor into this collection is how Ratchet 2 and 3 control; if strafing is mapped to the rear touch pad....dear god, that would be horrendous X(.

Seems like there's autostrafing. I wonder if it's optional, since 3, Gladiator and Size Matters already had this option

Auto-Strafing? Is that like the third-person shooting control set up that Ratchet 3 had? If that is the case...then the controls should be fine; the games played great as shooters on PS2, so maybe it would be fine on Vita too :).
 
So
> framerate is stable
> controls are not as messy as Jak's
> it's not native res but will still look good on an actual Vita

and yet everyone's saying it's a bad port. If you wanted a 60 fps perfect port then I agree, but if you considered good the Sly port then this will likely be on the same level

Every time I hear the Metropolis theme starting, my eyes glisten. I need to get over this lol


edit: yeah, it seems like it has Size Matters strafing scheme ( analog is free moving, dpad is strafing or maybe viceversa?)

edit2: ratchet has shadow in R&C GC as well.
No multiplayer in R&C 3 (fuck you Sony)
good graphics on an actual vita
stable framerate

Yeah, hopefully it'd be good on an actual Vita. The problem is the PlayStation TV.

d-pad is auto-strafe, analog stick is free movement, phew

Oh, already posted, shit, and a double-post
Click to expand...

Mine was just a guess, so it's confirmed? Hell yeah.
No multiplayer is pissing me off, though I guess it would've been completely empty. I tried Gladiator's online last day and there wasn't a single game going on.

Related: man, if it wasn't for the framerate I'd consider RGHD to be even worse than Jak Vita.
 
So how does auto-strafing work anyway? You just press a button and Ratchet is locked in Strafing mode? Then...that doesn't sound that bad; in Ratchet 3 you almost always hold that button down anyway, so having that locked might make things even better :). With Ratchet 2, I remember that game having tons of platforming, so that might be an issue there...

I guess I will just have to play the collection (if it is cross-buy in US PSN) for a full opinion of the game :l.

Vita port looks fine to me, what are you guys finding so bad about it?

This is NeoGAF.gif. If it's not 60fps, 1080p, and developed by Platinum, it's worthless!
I jest...maybe

In all seriousness, it looks good to me, and I own the PS2 and PS3 versions of the games. Really looking forward to having Ratchet 3 on the Vita. It, and A Crack in Time are practically tied for my favorite Ratchet games.

Sadly LLtQ has more in common with VNs than PrincessMaker. And PM2 is a way better game in just about every aspect, including replayability - eg. the event progression is completely linear/deterministic in LLtQ - so if you enjoyed the non-linear aspects in PM - you'll be disappointed.

I... sigh.

Seriously... I'll take a break from Neogaf. It's too hard to stay here and read every post without not being annoyed. Unless the game has almost unniversal praise, then everything is completely shit around here.

Yup. It's just incredibly asinine how some people are just so eager to jump on certain things. Sad really.

Watched a couple of minutes of each game and honestly, it greatly exceeds my expectations. Can't wait until it's released in North America.
 
Just started R&C Quest for Booty, and in the second 2D cutscene, the audio de-synced.

I googled and it seems that it's a very common thing in Tools of Destruction.

Anyone else have this happen in QFB?
 
RalchAC said:
RCR is Retro City Rampage, right?

My favorite part is the one where he says "the developer saw nothing from that" when a lot of devs have stated that they do get paid for putting their game on PS+. They don't get as much money as they'd get for a normal sale but they get money.

I'll never understand people that writes something knowing anything about it. Especially on twitter, where you can easily get your ass kicked by other people.

Yes it is Retro City Rampage.

Yeah its fairly nice to see a developer actually debunking it.

Anyway, what the hell is up with European PSN? Who is actually responsible for it? Who do you complain to?

Not in Quest for booty but Tools of Destruction had so much audio dsync for me I muted most of the scenes.
 
Hey does anyone want to help me out by playing an online match of Resistance Burning Skies? I only need one match and I'd very much appreciated it.

PSN: Suirrad
 
Did SCEA just remove the PSone Classics section in the "All" part of the Vita store? You can still access it through the banner ad, but it's one of the last. How does that benefit them?

Was coming, been removed from PSN EU for a while(web store and ps1/2 classics are missing). The tags where still there on the web store but now even they are gone but we in EU still have PS one classics left on the Vita front.

If I remember right they where going to clean up the clusterfuck of tags for everything but instead just fucked everything up. Badly, not even GCT could mess up as bad.
 
R&C collection looks good to me, definitely going to have a blast with it and I might even try to nab some platinums! As a HUGE Ratchet fan, it really grinds my gears that there is literally no information about a US release.

It'll probably be out Tuesday on PSN... it's just getting the "none cares" SSD stealth release treatment.

Little Deviants is $4 with free shipping here. Thanks Reddit!

Yeah, I saw that yesterday. I seriously finally bought it just last week for $12 on amazon :/
 
For reference, this is the Quest for Booty cutscene (as said, it's the 2nd 2D one so after the first level):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGLiO5-TvJ0

Started a new file to see it a second time and same thing, the audio starts a second too late.

Maybe it's only in the NA version? Would like some input, hopefully I'm not the only one experiencing that. I doubt it's hardware related.

I don't know if that price is correct, since it's 1000yen in Japan.

Wow, it just might be all physical on that UK release then. Sweet.
Click to expand...

It is. The kid that made the video also unboxed the game. There's no download code in the EU version. All three games are on one cart.
 
When/where is the OT for R&C Trilogy on Vita? I saw a brief snippet of gameplay and the framerate seems smooth from what I could garner (especially in comparison to Jak 1). It sounds like I'll be keeping an eye on it now much like I did with the Sly trilogy which turned out better than expected.

Edit: As someone mentioned earlier Rodem reminds me of an interactive Dali or Picasso game.. So I might take a look at it if the price is right.
