Axiom Verge is coming out today, looking forward to remote playing that ^__^
It doesn't. Just change the control scheme, you have several options.

Congrats and enjoy your new Vita! No deals floating around I think but if you want cheaper prices for the memory cards (especially the 64gb), Nippon Yasan and Ami-ami are the stores they recommend here.
I'm not affliated with either store.

bad gameplay lol
I greatly regret buying Freedom Wars. Hurts worse that I got it digitally, so I can't trade it in or sell it. =/

Does Persona 4 Golden have any DLC?

Good stuff, this is how I had intended to play it.
Monsterbag and KZ:M confirmed for april's PS+.
Not bad. At all.
Don't know any of the PS3/4 titles, though.

Great month for PS+! Tower of Guns, Never Alone, Dishonored, Aaru's Awakening, Killzone Merc, MonsterBag. I've played and enjoyed ToG, Dishonored and Killzone, looking forward to MonsterBag and Never Alone.
I predict Tower of Guns will get hate from the usual suspects in PS+ threads, but it's basically Binding of Isaac crossed with Quake. Not as good as Binding of Isaac IMO but a cool idea pretty well executed.
Are you referring to Axiom Verge? I don't really agree, it's workable but not preferable

Killzone Mercenary for the Vita is a great haul for april. The best looking FPS on the portable consoles.
Not feeling Monster Bag though but a quick playthrough might make me like it.

Killzone Mercs means the multiplayer will last a long time. Wish they did some DLC maps.
Nah Tower of Guns is a shooter and will satisfy the hate indies crowd that really just don't like the typical arty indie puzzle platfomer like Monster Bag. I am looking forward to ToG the most.
Nope. And frankly, it doesn't need it. It's already an expanded version of the original game.

I love indie games so this month will be awesome for me. I planned to buy monster bag but now I didn't have to 
Anyone seen any impressions yet? I'm intrigued. It's this or Xenoblade in April for me.
Although I should be saving for an SSD
hard drive, not SoulSac or Stardust

Amazing month for me and my Vita backlog

Bloodborne is slowly taking up all my time.
I'm kinda happy sales were bad. I'm pretty sure on vita sales would be double or triple that. Maybe that will teach something to squeenix

The whole type zero situation is super weird. I'm more upset about the camera than Vita though
cardinalmind

I'm legit doubtful about that. Japan has access to the PSP game on their Vitas. Bomba tier is what I'm expecting if it was launched on the Vita for Japan.
It isnt the same camera as the PSP version? I didn't have much trouble with that

There's so much motion blur that 5 minutes with the game gives me a headache, and I never have motion sickness issues. Here's a sample but it actually looks worse in motion because it's lots of quick jerky movements of the camera not a smooth circle like that.
Now you just have to get a Vita.
Holy shit. That's awful.
Wow That's ugly
pretty awful month. guess i won't pay for PS+ in april as well then.
I'll finally see the graphics of KZM with my eyes
too bad i can't suffer fps anymore :\You are a bad guy
i'm with you >
The more i think about it the more i think that type 0 hd was a genius idea, SE wanted to make a series but Vita didn't sell as much as SE wanted so what did they plan? A PS4/XB1 version of a PSP game alone would have bombed hard so they added the FFXV demo that everyone wanted.
Thanks to that many people bought Type 0 even if not interested and SE won't have big problem on making Type 1 on PS4/XB1 because people now know the world and characters.
Imo SE didn't do Type0 hd to sell it, but to start a series on PS4 and XB1.
That doesn't mean i like what SE did.
Maybe SE will release a localized PSP version of Type 0 when the FFXV demo will become public or at the FFXV release(in both cases when people don't need Type 0 anymore to play FFXV).

My Hopes of playing a great typ0 remaster on the big screen just got dashed by that.

Oh god, how did they think that was alright?

Playing it through remote play reduces the motion sickness a lot, though. Ironically. I guess because our field of view get focus on smaller frame.

I really have no idea. They haven't responded to it that I know of either. The game desperately needs a motion blur toggle. IMO Chromatic aberration, film grain and motion blur should always be toggleable, but I've never seen something negatively affect gameplay this badly.
I'll have to try that, though I doubt I'll play it much soon. I've honestly thought of plugging in my second PS4 just to remoteplay some games. Axiom Verge and Estival are going to be stuck in my PS4 for some time.
That's like very funny. I think today square enix is all about money and if they are smart enough they will release type 0 instead of type0 plus for vita. At least in Japan. This game would sell at least 200k in Japan alone if it releases on Vita
Vomitrocious. Is it trying to simulate someone spinning in a circle? Worse than chromatic abberation.

It'd be cool if as a low-effort thing they released the game in the west digitally with the fan patch (with cooperation from the fan patch people). Won't happen, but...
Would be cool if some devs did that. Mother 3 is another example--Tomato actually reached out to Nintendo on that, no response of course, I doubt any big company takes it seriously. I just wish they would.
Business people in the game industry are not real gamers that's why. They play for show. They are pretty much bad politicians.

Already have KZM, but the rest looks pretty good. I've wanted to get Never Alone for a while but never got around to it, so that's a nice surprise.

The only game that has given me motion sickness is driving in Far Cry 2 (something about the bumps and foliage, I had to squint to drive).
The motion blur in the video of FFT0 posted doesn't bother me, especially given the character is spinning in circles like a madman. Of course, when I do stuff like that in games when my wife is watching, she's always like 'ugghggg' and it have never bothered me.

I don't understand all the Freedom Wars hate. I had fun with it. I got distracted and never finished it (maybe that's the issue?) but it was great jumping on giant robots and sawing limbs off. i keep hearing guns were better than melee weapons, and maybe that's an issue...i wanted to be melee, constantly riding enemies. But as far as getting things right, so many things did feel right. I only invested maybe 5 or 10 hours though before getting sidetracked (not the games fault, i think i switched to something on ps4 and sold the game w. plans to pick it up again later).
Can someone give a short summary of the mechanics of the game? i guess I'll go google but really i don't even know if i should be interested in this game or if it's a rhythm game or something.
Producers/devs/pubs saying stuff like a sequel depends on fan demand" is really no big deal. It's always the truth ... why would a game get a sequel without fan demand? So saying something like that is just to get your fan base to make noise to see if it's worth investing it. I wouldn't read anything more into it, it's standard operating procedure.
Unfortunately, no business learns lessons like that. They don't see lack of sales on one platform as evidence they should have released on another, but rather, evidence nobody wanted it (rightly or wrongly). The only solid evidence of anything is a sale -- that tells you someone wanted it at the price offered. Trying to read into 'low sales' is like trying to tell fortunes based on throwing sticks, it requires too many assumptions - it could be price, or platform, or time of year, or competition, or lack of interest, or [on and on]. Ultimately all you can take away in most cases is that people didn't want it... some combination of wrong place, wrong time, wrong price, wrong product.
If you like the genre and know what you're getting into, ZHP is worth every penny. It's one of the best games on PSP imo. I've paid full price for only a handful of PSP games (zhp, gladiator begins, elminage, a couple others) and don't regret it (even if many of those have had price drops/sales since).

Woah, I thought I would have never seen a retail Vita game on PS+ again. They've dropped the biggest one instead.
I've tried to get it in the past months, I had even ordered it from a site but, as it usually does, that site canceled my order. Seems like we finally meet again, KZM, after that great beta almost two years ago.
Cool for Dishonored, hoping I'll ever get around to actually play it. The rest doesn't really interest me.(I was actually interested in Aaru but I read that controls are bad)

Wow. Did not know it was that bad.
I'm more excited than I should be for a PS+ game that I already own. More people playing KZ:M = More online activity for that game. Almost new thread time
Edit: TOTP: Download KZ:M when it's available on PS+ and play online. Buy DigimonStory Cybersleuth
when it's localized.
