What are you trying to watch? Not everything has the best resolution. Try an animation ed show like Kick Buttowski. There is a lot of whites and primarys used in the opening. You should be able to tell just by looking at the characters edges to see the stream sharpen up.PSY・S;41270833 said:

Its ok. Not at all as everyone says. The multiplayer can be fun IF you can get into a game. Mine always crashes at the end of a match so I have to go to the LiveArea and return to the game to continue. Not worth 30 bucks though.

Guy I barely talk to that I ran into mentioned he was going to trade it in for $60-70 and I offered $100 but only had 80 on me and he was like "more than happy". I didn't even want the card since it's pretty useless but he tossed it in too.
Got too lucky. Even if this thing fails
Wow. Damn that's super hot deal.
Actually, if you know my post history you will find that I find it very sad that the entirety of SCEA's upcoming Vita lineup are games that are also on PS3. No exclusives at all.

So the Store update is live and the prices for those games that are supposed to have a price drop... haven't dropped. I'm not biting until they do, don't they want people to be encouraged to buy games? Why announce it then not follow through with their own pricing? God, I sound like a broken record 
SCEA are just a fucking disaster when it comes to the Vita. I swear they want it to fail.

Oh wow I didn't know they were discounted.
Innocent Life is a subpar spinoff, not worth playing IMO. Harvest Moon games are RPG games at their core but they also have life sim elements, meaning you'll be dating potential wives and managing your farm, crops and animals. They're very addicting, rewarding and fun if you give them a chance.
Hero of Leaf Valley is an enhanced port of Save the Homeland, which is actually pretty good plus they remedied the main complains people had (no marriage, game ends, now you can get married and you can keep playing).
Boy & Girl is Back to Nature and the girl version, BTN is easily one of my most favorite Harvest Moon games, and one of my favorites of all time. Tons of stuff to do, very very rewarding game. The newer ones tend to lose the magic and sheer amount of stuff that the older ones have, IMO.
Back to Nature is highly recommended, and this is from a long time HM fan. Hero of Leaf Valley is fun, it's newer and has prettier graphics but I think the newer ones lost a bit of the magic the older ones had. Still recommended though.
I'm still holding out hope we get a genuinely new Harvest Moon game on the Vita but since the PSP got no love... who knows ._.
Both live-action and animation. I guess it's just that the resolution of some videos Netflix is streaming isn't that high to begin with.

No problem.
Perhaps we should wait for TGS to understand Sony Japan's approach. There may be more news than just Minna no Golf 6 going Cross Play. I hope they can keep up with SCEE's stellar performance in Gamescom.
SCEA may be tied up with PS4 stuff. Someone has to work on Cross PS4-Vita stuff you know. 8^P
Yes, at TGS SCEJ will announce the really ugly new PS3 model, a Soul Sacrifice and Gravity Rush ports, and Japanese Wonderbook games. Vita? What's that.

Yeah that really irritated me too. The day they release the PS1 update I have my first day of classes. I was pretty excited when I heard they would be delivering 1.8 during the summer so I could play some games. Pity they meant the very end of it.
Don't worry, just wait till E3 2013 if nothing happens at TGS! </sarcasm>
E3 2013 for Vita will entirely consist of a single sizzle reel and Jack Tretton fumbling around a new Vita model before dropping it on the floor. The rest will be to demoing the latest movies from Naughty Dog, and Quantic Dream and PS4 stuff.
Got a good laugh out of this, hope you aren't too worried irl though :0) ads and price drop. It will do it.
So, I love the touchscreen/pad implementation on Uncharted for the most part (really hate the on screen arrows popping up during combat or boosting up Chase). However, I'm mixed with its implementation in MLB 12: The Show, in terms of Road to the Show and the menus.
Uncharted made it easy by simply touching the screen to start, MLB 12 wants me to swipe the top right corner of the screen, almost to the edge of it. And that's pretty much how it goes for advancing or going back through certain menus. Sometimes, it lets you press X (to save your options, for example) or O (to go back without saving), but it's pretty much there. In RTTS, I'm a pitcher, so the only real use I would have with the touchscreen is picking pitches, but I can do that with the buttons on the right. I can pick location with the left analog stick, and touching the screen isn't ideal for picking a specific spot to throw at.

Most of the girls in the HM games are pretty tame, the Rune Factory games have the more wild and fantasy character designs, the thing with the HM and RF games is that the marriage candidates typically are designed in that teenager type body where it's almost impossible to tell how old they are without consulting the wiki, which is kind of weird when you think about it... but they have always been E rated. Here's a shot of Popuri with the main character from BTN:
In comparison, here is Alice from Hero of Leaf Valley:
And a final comparison to show you the leap from HM to RF, here's Lily from Rune Factory Tides of Destiny:
They also have some pretty cute swimsuits in that game, overall I think Tides of Destiny definitely has some great designs but they kind of abandoned the core farming and livestock management by letting you tame monsters to do everything for you.
The new RF game (4) has boss monsters that turn into potential brides after you defeat them - try wrapping your head around that mechanic!
Oh and a major difference between the RF games and the HM games - the RF games also have action RPG elements, meaning you can upgrade weapons and go dungeon crawling. In HM, it's all farm, livestock and social sim.
Deep down in your heart you know the scenario I posted is true.
All of Level-5's Vita games so far have been ports, so it's suffice to say any TGS announcement will probably be a port.
White Knight Chronicles everybody.
It doesn't have to be from level 5 since it's owned by Sony. They could get some B tier dev to make it and I'm sure they could do as decent a job as modern day Level 5 could. I just don't think SCEJ wants to, or is too incompetent to do it. Probably the latter knowing them this gen.
I would like to see you claim why Imageepoch is better than Level-5.

Anyone got any brilliant methods for dealing with this black market bs in Uncharted:GA?
What do you need to do ?
I thought Black Market is auto-pilot. It only asked me to confirm the trades.
Nope [warning huge read]. I'm expecting good things next year, at least by 2014 for sure. And their presentations are getting better..
Although there is a black box of worry thanks to gaf, somewhere. But it is pretty buried. And will be for a few years at least, if it ever does get opened...

Feel the same way, I start classes next week myself but thankfully my Tuesdays are easy-going so as soon as 1.8 is online I'll be downloadin it.PSY・S;41273221 said:

Hey guys, whatever happened to Jet Set and RCR and Wake up club and all those apps shown at E3? Don't those companies lose money everyday their completed games sit and wait? Why not release now on PS3/Vita and later on XB360?
I would really like Sony to return to their catalog of games from PS1 era. Games like Colony Wars and G-Police and Parappa. They could change them up a bit like have Parappa be a platformer/RPG or make Colony Wars a downloadable release in the image of X-wing vs Tie-Fighter. They could price them in the 20 dollar range and make a killing.

JSR is coming on the Vita in Mid-October
^ not too long :'(
rcr, wakeup club and the g-police remake would be appreciated here too. Is wakeup club due in 1.8 by any chance..?
I did too...but he does have a point. Something spiffy and cool as usual please Sony...especially as I hardly restart anyway these days. It's quite cool looking now but a bit more life wouldn't hurt..reckon they'll change it at this stage?...perhaps just for the *GUI loadup like with ps3.

Don't see much of a point for a startup screen. With sleep mode, how often do we restart the system anyway?
But when was the last time a major console/handheld didn't have a jingle or its own logo pop up when turned on?

Wonder if Soul Sacrifice is going to end up on PS3 like HSG6...

I actually try to remember to restart it fully more regularly, seems to run a tad faster with some games, especially after quite a few sessions ending with a standby. Does seem to drain the battery a bit though. Usually good for a week or so for me.
(no clue but sounds a bit like) Memory leaks? A memory refresh app would be nice..
