Would the fact that my PS3 is less than a year old make a difference. Maybe I just got lucky with PS3 speeds since I know a lot of people who complain over theirs.

I'd take the slower Vita speeds if it means I have faster PS3 speeds that average. It's much easier to download and transfer games via the PS3 since it's faster, appears to have a better install success rate. But more importantly I can download while playing.

Both Uncharted and Gravity Rush disable my WiFi

It's a combination of ISP, router settings, file system, server load, and local network congestion issues. Any one of these can affect a setup.

Ah. Couldn't tell at the 60 x 47 resolution.

Gravity Rush is pretty awesome so far. Finished up episode 9 just now.

Thoughts on re-buying PSP titles digitally to play on Vita?

Does the better screen and controls make a significant difference?

 

[Gillian Seed]

I can understand why they did it. But most of my playing is done at home, so battery life isn't an issue. They could give us the option to choose



Definitely. Awesome game and one of the very best on PSP. It has this charm that few games have.

Will warn you in that it's very easy to miss things in the game. Also how patient are you? It's only the first in a trilogy, and the next two games are no where near being localised

I am pretty patient, but it would be a huge bummer if the rest of the trilogy never makes it out here. I am going to sell my PSP 3000 now that i have a Vita. What system are the being made for?

I don't make enough time to play, but I've re-bought a few of my UMDs(P3P and Dissidia 012 come to mind) to play on my Vita. Haven't tried out P3P yet(lol), but Dissidia is a blast on this thing and looks pretty good.

Depends on the game I guess. Was Corpse Party a PSP or PS1 game ? The graphics is low res and uses the dpad (I can't seem to remap it to use the sticks). The game itself is interesting though, so I'm happy overall.

OTOH, P3P and VC2 look and play very well on a Vita. Love both of 'em.

Short answer: YES

Yes.
You also get faster load times and framerate improvements in games where framerate wasn't stable originally.
And in some cases, games are completely changed in how they play due to new controls (eg. Katamari PSP on Vita gets REAL Katamari controls - making it a better game then Vita's version IMO).

 

[Vitacat]

OK, thanks everyone. Sounds like Vita does make PSP games better. Cool.

I'd agree. I've been screwing around with MH:FU and I can't imagine how people played this without a second stick... the only thing the second stick doesn't work well with is the aiming for the bow; you totally need to use the d-pad for that since you have to hold R and triangle.

 

[patsu]

PSP games seem to run efficiently on Vita too. I can play long hours without recharging.

 

[kurrptsenate]

You should try out Gungnir if you liked Jeanne'D Arc

 

[Derrick01]

yup, I'm replaying Jeanne'D Arc myself

I have to make a note to myself to buy that when I get a vita. I had it years ago on psp and it was really good, though I seem to remember it kind of falling apart in the end. But anyway it sucks that it's still so pricey on PSN.

 

[GoofsterStud]

yup, the cutscenes look better here, must be dat OLED

 

[patsu]

I didn't measure. Was surprised the battery stayed high for an unusually long time. This was before I got my Nyko Power Grip obviously.


I think the other nice thing about getting PSP games for Vita is they are a known factor. I can pop in and ask GAF about any PSP games. They can give a pretty balanced view because people have already played them. Works out really well for me.

 

[Vitacat]

OK, just got Velocity for my PSP (my Vita is still being shipped). WOW. Where has this game been all my life? Love it so much. Play mechanics are excellent, and the retro presentation is sweet.

This will be brilliant on the Vita. Can't wait. My Vita may not come till Monday though. :-/

 

[corrosivefrost]

Is it port begging if I muse that I wish Retro/Grade was a crossbuy title and for $10 I could play on PS3 or Vita?

 

[Vossler]

Four days until PS1 support. Fingers crossed for Vagrant Story.

I just now gave up hope and realized that the chances of getting the upcoming One Piece Romance Dawn(PSP RPG) is basically 0%. ):

i just want one piece guys

Side note. What do you think is better? Getting a reburb'd PSP Go, or from a dude off Craigslist if it saves me $10?

 

[Shahed]

Many people have the Nyko Power Grip? Would yousay it's worth it?

 

[patsu]

I don't know about many, but I like mine. The biggest turn-off is its heft. It's like carrying a weapon. Other than that, the thing works as advertised. Main benefits are the comfortable grip, followed by the battery life.

 

[VanWinkle]

I like it quite a bit. Very comfortable and the extra battery life is great. It's kind of ugly but very functional.

I'm not sure if I should get it or not. I mean I only got my Vita today so it's not as if I've really gotten used to it. It'll take a while to decide if I'm happy with the comfort/battery life

Yap ! Take your time. It's most useful if you play your Vita in bed coz you'll be holding it in weird angle.

 

[ryushe]

anyone used this?

I bought a set a while ago. It's pretty great and honestly worth the money, but I found I prefer using the naked Vita itself. It's great for Wipeout and MGS 2/3 HD, though.

 

[Reckoner]

Am I missing something or the Vita downloads from the Store are really slow?

 

[The Grim Heaper]

just uh... get it *wink *wink

i might import it you are right

I think that really depends on the shape of the systems. Saving money would be nice, but what kind of shape is the Craigslist one in?

Am I missing something or the Vita downloads from the Store are really slow?

Heh, last page people were saying how they're a bit faster than PS3. Do you have a PS3 to compare to?

 

[brentech]

After beating MGS2 I decided to skip MGS3 for a little bit and move to U:GA and Unit 13.....both look great and play great on this thing. I just get more and more happy about this device with every game I play. I wish those that scoff at it's meek sales at least give it a try some time. It's such an amazing portable.

Have had it since early June now and it's played every single day (well, other than the day I had surgery on my ankle -- exceptions need be made).

 

[corrosivefrost]

Am I missing something or the Vita downloads from the Store are really slow?

I'm going to lean toward the first option here... my Vita is pretty quick. Lumines demo is like... 768mb and I got that pretty quickly.

 

[kurrptsenate]

I think that really depends on the shape of the systems. Saving money would be nice, but what kind of shape is the Craigslist one in?

I really, really have no idea at this point. I'm guessing just about and 2nd hand system I get will have some blemish on it. I sort of fixate on deep scratches so I'm hoping to stay away from anything like that.

The dude is supposed to send me pictures today. Oddly, I would prefer a white one after my black vita. Too many finger prints

My PS3 seems a lot faster. I'm downloading Sound Shapes from the Vita and it is taking too long.

 

[patsu]

Am I missing something or the Vita downloads from the Store are really slow?

What are you trying to download ?

EDIT: Oh Sound Shapes. Is something else consuming your bandwidth right now, or slowing your WiFi ? (Do a connection test on the Vita).

 

[Shahed]

Am I missing something or the Vita downloads from the Store are really slow?

I'm the same. PS3 is far faster. I guess we're anomalies

 

[kurrptsenate]

I can't really compare as my HDD was giving me a ton of problems before I had to quick format it.

Since then, I haven't downloaded anything on my Vita to really compare. I'd say they are similar if I'd have guess

If I were Sony, I would pay someone to do a diagnostic app for Vita (and PS3) to identify possible config and run-time issues for the users.
