Despite his snarky comments at times, I actually liked that dude. Might dip into the SSD craze later but for now I'm looking at finishing Malicious Rebirth.

 

[Tizoc]

Remind me if Malicious Rebirth has a retail release for Vita?

The English release was digital only, I think.
I haven't found a single retail cart of this here.

Not in the West it doesn't, I can tell you that much off the top of my head.

I cant even remember what your old avatar was.

 

[autoduelist]

On the fence about Big Sky Infinity. On one hand, it's a game I should love. On the other hand, I've tried the demo at least twice, probably 3 times and I just have serious issues telling everything apart in the game. Anyone want to sell me on it (I'd be playing on Vita). For reference, my go to games are stuff like SSD, TxK, Crimsonland, etc (though I like almost every genre).

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

I think it was Luka with her module for Hello, Worker.

 

[cardinalmind]

Even I can't find my old avatar so I've just used a similar one now.

Yeah, it was. But I forgot where I put it so for now, I'll just use a similar one.

I'm sure I'd be recognizable by now if I didn't have the urge to change my avatar every couple of days.

 

[Staf]

Really excited about Grim Fandango, haven't played it in years. Shame i'm away work-related conference the whole week it releases though.

So it's my birthday today, and I got some PSN vouchers. Trying to decide what to get.

Is Driveclub worth picking up while it's on sale if I'm not interested in the social stuff?

It doesn't have splitscreen multiplayer but I hear the SP stuff is good and the graphics are great.

 

[mellan_Konsten]

So, noone have actually finished munch oddysee on their Vita?

Game got an update recently that resolved some performance issues, so it should run fine now.
As someone who beat it on PS3, it was a nice short adventure game.

 

[Kresnik258]

No physical release period, on either PS3 or Vita in any region.

Happy birthday!
From what I've played, Driveclub seems like a solid sp racing game

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Grim Fandango , Gat Out of hell and Resident Evil will hopefully keep me busy until the Dying Light delay is sorted out

i'm not into the social stuff and i'm not much of a driver
but it's fun to really just drive around just to view the amazing graphics. controls are good once you are used to them

 

[Parakeetman]

For those that wander around the JPSN and like Advanced Wars went and recorded just simple gameplay footage from that

Daisenryaku Portable 2 (PSP)

game. Just showing very basic stuff of what it looks like from the first level of the free mission. no commentary (as hate vids with talking in it) just regular ol gameplay.

kinda crazy that the total film time tops an hour

 

[incpdo]

So i finished chapter 1 in danganronpa im officially hooked now. It is a really smart game I don't get what's so bad about the mini games.

 

[Serpens007]

What's Dangaronpa about? I can't buy it right now but with all the fuzz I think I will either love it or hate it, so I may save for it

It's a visual novel filled utter delicious DESPAIR

I bought it at launch and the social stuff was disabled due to the servers not working - I still played it for days on end without touching anything else.

It's a great single player game if you play it that way.

Long story short a group of students is forced to kill each others and once one is killed the others(=the main character) have to investigate and then point to the killer in a trial, if you guess right the killer is executed on the other hand everyone except the killer are executed.

The game is a sequence of normal life(where you talk with others, explore etc) -> deadly life(when a murder is commited you have to investigate) -> trial(where you need to point to the killer) and then again.

It's awesome.

in the olden days sony used to have 8ing and racjin make games in this series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzlC-vp3GIU

bleach had a run
kind of
i guess

 

[deadfolk]

Dammit guys, you were supposed to tell me not to bother with Driveclub for sp, and then I would have been deciding between Ayesha and Project Diva 2nd instead!

Now I'm lost.

You had one job...

Seriously, thanks for the input

[LEBRON KING JAMES]

just got a free movie voucher for a choice out of Anchorman 2, Star Trek: Into Darkness, World War Z, Transformers: Extinction, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Thinking bout TMNT or Transformers. What you guys pick?

I say Star Trek. I'd have to turn in my geek/nerd card otherwise.

Of those I'd pick Star Trek, it's the better movie.

In that case, don't get Driveclub. I'd personally recommend PDF 2nd, but Atelier would also be preferable to Driveclub.

Sounds a lot like Ace Attorney, which is awesome.


I'll give it a try as soon as I can

 

[SerTapTap]

The Swapper's remoteplay is perfect. More games should pay this much attention. "switch directions" (rarely needed button) is mapped to lower right front touch, the backtouch is totally disabled, L1/R1 function as they do on PS4, and that's all the controls you need. I really appreciate them removing the backtouch buttons as those are worst-case only.

Didn't think I'd replay it, but I'm really enjoying it (a few months after the first time) and some of the dialog makes a lot more (haunting) sense due to what you discover late in the game.

It's badass. Its the first VN I've ever played, and I am in love. My roommates started watching and now won't even let me play it without them because the story is so damned good.

I don't see the point of remote playing a game that's already on Vita. It would be different if it's a game that runs badly on Vita, but that's not the case with Swapper.

Does it have cross-save? If not, I could see that being a reason.

 

[jvm]

It has a cloud sync in the menus. I assumed that it could sync with the ps4, but never tried.

Edit: Where are this week's Droppings?

 

[NoctisVsStar]

is the soul sacrifice Delta online community dead or alive? only reason why i haven't decided to buy the game.

 

[Shizuka]

Citizens of Earth doesn't have a platinum trophy, that's a shame.

 

[SerTapTap]

Cloudsync is annoying (it's not one of the very few games that do it right, ie automatically), doesn't require space on my Vita, can continue instantly if I want to play in bed and was already playing on TV, don't have to close my Vita game. And very often games will run and or look better over remoteplay as opposed to native, though you're right Swapper is pretty much perfect on Vita.

Citizens of Earth doesn't have a platinum trophy, that's a shame.

As an RPG?! Weird. I think there's extra cert for platinum (IIRC Octodad confirmed they wouldn't have a plat because of extra work) but it seems digital titles can have them just like any other title now.

 

[Shizuka]

Exactly, being an RPG with a certain length, I'd expect a platinum trophy.

 

[ZeroX03]

PS4 games have been weirdly inconsistent with Platinum trophies, it's something on Sony's end. They let their own titles like First Light have one but Ground Zeroes couldn't. Oddworld is a third party title that got a Platinum too and it launched at the same price as GZ.

Finished The Swapper today, impressions:

Great atmosphere. Sounddesign is really solid, the visuals are lovely and can really suck you in. It definitely nails the feel of a desolate space station and is possibly the biggest draw of the game.

Gameplay is rather basic. It's functional and the cloning/swapping-mechanic integrates itself well into the world and story, but the puzzles ultimately never evolve all that much and the game alreadys begins to feel stale midway thorugh the 4h-campaign. What it does splendidly is letting the player figure out the small mechanical details by herself through clever little hints in the background and the initial puzzles themselves. Again, the game is rocksolid and build on interesting ideas, but like many indies, just never bothers to go anywhere meaningful with them and The Swapper ends up feeling like a one-trick-pony.

Story is well told and builds on exciting concepts surround cloning ethics and morality of technology. While it doesn't go too deep into the philosophical end, it still manages to have an impact. Only downside is that there is a certain lack of exposition shortly after the beginning all the way up the halfway point where the game might lose many players not too fond of the puzzles.

Overall a really solid game and definitely worth a try if you're subscribed to Plus.

I loved the game, but i agree with pretty much all of this...it would have been nice if they added another mechanic or two at the halfway point or so
