I feel you. ACL and COD are on my list but the franchises are not that exciting for me. I hope we get something different, new and it really utilizes the Vita's hardware. I can think of so many things Developers could do with the Vita. Whats gonna be the game to knock it out of the park? I cant wait to find out.
I would love something like Darksiders on the Vita.
Well, we talked about killzone.
Another one that would make sense is infamous, eventually.
...and breaking bad is done..brb
btw COD multiplayer should excite you a little bit if it is anything like even COD4! That's just a good game. Okay a lot of us played them loads already...but not like what I imagine on the vita could be like in your hands. Pretty neat game to have for many people, definitely good for the vita if it doesn't suck. Might encourage a crash bandicoot negotiation since activision hold that too...
I imagine cod would get boring fast but still, might be good enough .. definitely could be for a lot of people.

Never.
I think Activision will just release it on 3DS as far as handhelds go.
My problem is I get bored quick especially when a game gets repetitive.

No. That would mean I'd have stuff to play on the vita. Can't have that. I'm going to go back and play some Harry Potter Years 5-7 on Vita. OH GOD THE HORROR.

Well after messing around and resorting to other options, I got my vita up and running again and managed to even avoid deleting my save files, what a scare this has been. Suffice to say , I'm making a back up and will be wary of canceling/quitting from things when it's trying to sign in to stuff from now on.

Ohhh, I was out earlier and didn't see that. Glad you managed to avoid disaster, though. I think I had to rebuild my database once before and everything was still there after... still scary!

But think of the tales Near will tell you when you get it back!
Would appreciate it if anyone has some information these:
Has there been an update on when we're getting PSOne classics for Vita? (I mean beyond the "this summer" line which is almost over.)
Any news on New Little King's Story's release? Last I heard it was due out this summer, I can't find anything new.
Also, how is Liberty City Stories A SEVEN YEAR OLD GAME $20 on PSN!?!?!?

I'm not usually one to say this, but this has been answered several times on the last 20 pages.

Good news for everything!
1. Nope! Rumors for Gamescom announcement but many are doubting that at this point.
2. Another nope! I think they're saying Late Summer/Fall 2012 now.
3. Because the PSN prices on most games are REALLY lol. Especially Sony first party and Namco games.
It's a 155 page thread.

Thank you, sir.
Talking about near...that thing is just shit.
It's pointless, I hope they'll improve it in the future because it has potential. I'm not a "social network" guy, but it would be cool to merge Near and LiveArea's status updates in order to have some sort of gaming social-network.

Happened to me some weeks ago, I removed the memory card and put it back again and it was all there. I've never been so scared before :lol

I've made another compilation video.
The Vita Has Too Many Games.
No, really, it does. Stop laughing. And yes, more Explosions in the Sky for the few fans who loved them in the last one

Digital future where games are cheaper than retail because of no boxing/manuals, lol.
There is(was?) a private youtube video of wrc3 at gamescon, anyone saw it? There's vita footage? Could anyone repost it somewhere?

Digital future where games remain expensive because fuck it, not like we need to dump stock!
Though I'm not sure I can blame them, $20's too much but going higher than $5 means the games remain valuable for longer. Could at least drop to $15 or something.
What is WRC?
Maybe this one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wsjz73H20a8
Or this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6vasIMLiQ0
World rally championship
It's the first one, thanks! But as i suspected no vita footage

Thanks for the info. I wanna know what the trophies are lol.
Are there any more rythmic games coming to Vita?I got to around BF15 in Yggdra Union and just couldn't take anymore. I think it's a piece of shit, along with every other Sting game I've played (Knights in the Nightmare, Riviera, Evolution 2). I wanted to give Gungnir a chance, too, but I'm not going to fall for that again. These games (particularly those in Dept. Heaven) are unique; they're just missing strong fundamental design that makes playing them engaging. They're bloated in all the wrong places. Some people swear by these games, but all I like about them is the potential behind some ideas and their energetic presentation.
For SRPGs, I'd recommend Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together (PSP), Final Fantasy Tactics (PSX version over PSP version, though that one still has its perks), and possibly the Disgaea games (1 and 2 for PSP, 3 for Vita).
As much as I wanted to love Jeanne d'Arc, I only thought it was "okay". If you're new to SRPGs, it'd be a good place to start. I can't remember if it's even in the store, though. Valkyria Chronicles II isn't as good as the original on PS3 (split up battlefields, story), so I'm hesitant to recommend that one. There are surely other SRPGs, but I'm drawing a blank right now since I only genuinely care about a handful.
FFT and Tactics Ogre are definitely my favorites in the entire genre, not just on PSP/Vita. Their storytelling is leagues ahead of what is found in most games, their music is fantastic, and their mechanics are very fun to play around with. The best part is that they offer enough flexibility for you to play them exactly how you want. Some people dislike SRPGs (in contrast to other tactical turn-based games) because you can level up and often brute force your way through them by abusing certain mechanics. With FFT and TO, you have the option to ignore things (many other SRPGs are less permissive, either having mid-battle story events or stricter conditions in or out of fights or whatever). TO even has an achievement-esque system to reward you for making things harder on yourself. I don't think they're the most challenging games out there, but they're very fun to me.

Does anyone have a problem using the browser after turning the Vita back on from standby mode? There's no wifi signal and I have to go into settings to connect it, then when I go to the browser it doesn't even work. Forcing me to shut down the Vita and turning it back on and then it works. 3G model btw.

Mine reconnects automatically when I use the browser, so something definitely went wrong there.
Nope,I have a wifi model and whenever i go back to browsing from stand by i have to wait a few seconds and then i can resume browsing without any issues
I won't have much problem with that if the missions are decent enough in length and number but hopefully zombies are there and they are good

Lol all the cod games have been good enough in length for me,around 6-8 hours on normalI was sure they were like 4 hours since CoD3.

Cool,gamescom is only a day and 4 hours away!

Bought pixel junk monsters last night. Really cool game. Loving this.
I really hpoe ps mobile kicks off.
I love my vita and I have really enjoyed games like gravity rush and MGS and most recently Mortal Kombat. However I would also love to play the kinds of games that come out on IOS as well. To have both kinds of games on my Vita would be awesome.
Stuff on my phone like civilization, settlers, galaxy on fire 2, dungeon raid, bejeweled (touch screen version), bards Tale, beat hazard, hunters 2 and minecraft pocket would all get a lot more play time if I had them on my vita. On my iphone the they eat the battery, make the thing really hot and the screen is just a touch to small to really feel at home using them for long periods. Get them on my vita so I can buy the odd big game once every month or so and have the mobile games as some nice distractions in between. Would be perfect for me. The games would prob be more expensive but im OK with that as the IOS prices I just dont think are sustainable.
I loved plants V Zombies on my iPhone but the vita version is sooo much nicer and I was happy to pay more for that version.
I just wonder if there is enough people like me out there to make this a viable thing to happen.
