If they're digital, you need to copy the entire game over, I believe. PS Vita to PC -> Applications, etc.

Vita is officially dead if absolutely nothing is announced,will yosp be there?
Start the backup of the game that you want to backup the save of and then cancel.
Presto!!! There you have, the save of the game you want.
I agree it must change.
Temporary solution = watch the vita folder on the PC being backed up - once it gets the save file (which gets transferred first) - copy it to a different location (copy and paste) then cancel the transfer via the vita.
edit: beat
The Gamescom announcements meant absolutely zero for Vita in Japan. Japanese handheld games are often announced months before release, and Vita really does need something for the holidays because it's release calendar in Japan is looking barren.
Games for 2013 would be nice. They need to inspire confidence in a purchase of the Vita. We have a videogame dump/drop on us in Oct/Nov but past that and into 2013 is all crickets.
I know what i'm looking forward to in 2013 with consoles, I already have 2013 games preordered for 3DS at newegg but Vita nada besides soul sacrifice. For people worried about developer support because of low sales that just adds fuel to the fire.
How about a gt for vita alongside the ps3 or ps4 one without mentioning all the platforms or a demon's souls 2 by FROM?
So, I finally decided to put Gravity Rush into the cartridge slot. It's a really fun game to play, but damn if I would've loved static shadows and a higher resolution over the muddy mess it is now. You can't even make out Kat's face when you pan the camera around. It's a beige blob.
To what extent, when most people can and will buy it on the PS3?
urrk...this TGS is giving me that butterflies in my stomach, seeing as how Sony themselves seem to be low keying their own damn press conference.
And they're the only hardware developer doing a press conference, so really, all the attention would be on them!
Well, there are a few things they could do to make the Vita version a bigger deal.
-Like Takao suggested: make it a timed Vita exclusive. Give it a quarter or two where it's only on Vita and it'll push units.
-Show off Cross-Saves; have them use the cloud akin to many other Vita/PS3 games.
-When in doubt: Cross-Buy.
-Perhaps the game will make use of the Vita's touch screens. This would be a small addition to the game but it'd help modernize it a bit.
I'm not saying any of this is likely to happen, but it would certainly make the Vita version of the game a bigger deal.
The problem with Gamescom is it's what E3 should have been a couple months prior hyping for this holiday. It was great, but a little late.
TGS for me, being in the U.S. is basically a whats in store for the future after the holidays which is a bit worrisome at this point. Ask yourself what you are going to buy for Vita from January 1st 2013 to next E3. So yea TGS is pretty important, especially from a RPG players perspective.
I would KILL for Bleach Blade Battlers 3.

They're on 8 and I have no clue how lol
Bleach is a dead franchise. No point throwing money on an engine you'll use once.
I'd expect SCE to make sure the Vita version launches first.
Soul Carnival 3 would be a better choice.
Filler.
We could use more details about PS Mobile. SCEJ is in charge of that IIRC.
Killzone, Tearaway, Guilty Gear, Sly 4, ZOE HD, FFX HD, Warrior's Lair, Dragon's Crown, maybe localizations of Japan games like Ys, Legend of Heroes, Atelier Totori.
I already have a few must-buys, between Guacamelee and Sly 4, but those are admittedly cross-buys. I think my gaming tastes have me less concerned about Vita game announcements, seeing as how I know I'll be playing Killzone, All-Stars, Need For Speed, and Ratchet on my Vita in the coming months, but I see where you're coming from.
I completely forgot this was coming to Vita. I'm pretty excited for that.

I thought Japan really liked their portables; so why would someone buy it on PS3 when they could take it with them and keep playing it wherever and whenever?
Cross-buy would make it a no brainer, but if I were to buy the game in the future, I think I'd go Vita first.
Japanese people enjoy their portables, but the Vita ain't exactly selling like hotcakes in Japan, so...
if SCE was able to secure a time Vita exclusive, that might help it sell, but...we'll see if SCE can even convince Square to do something like that.

There is a thread for it as others said but man, no matter how much people beat me over the head with HOMEBREW! HOMEBREW! I just keep thinking of how bad the piracy got with PSP, and how developer support died off.
They will hopefully show off some new stuff. I hope they don't show off the super slim PS3 because that'll just blanket the Vita coverage :\
A Monster Hunter game would be megaton, especially if it's a new MH game, not an enhanced port. C'mon leaks! I can't stay up that late tonight, I have to work in the morning
There was mention of ZOE HD vita but it disappeared from sales channels and has had no mention since, its gone. I doubt we will see FFX HD and Warrior's Lair before E3 if at all. Dragons Crown is after E3 but yea thats the other title I have for next year besides Soul Sacrifice. The point is coming into the holidays we need more info on next year games and even if your list there was accurate its still a sparse lineup for any console for an entire year. Vita can't wait till next E3 to game announcements out there. Especially with next E3 being PS4 centric.
I don't subscribe to the fanboy mentality I see so often of "Just be happy and don't demand anything from the console makers because they are great and all-knowing" I'm not down on the Vita, i'm being critical of Sony because I want to see the Vita succeed and their current track is shitting up the chances of a Vita success.

It's not. Vaporware at this point.

Two things:
1. Super slim will almost certainly be announced there, if it's real (and by all accounts, it is). They need it for the holidays.
2. If a Monster Hunter gets announced, it will be a port. Nintendo has pretty much snatched up all the new entries of MH for themselves.

All this pessimism is making me a bit happy that I don't have high expectations. ):
When's the last time we heard any news on ZOE HD? Even for the PS3 version, I mean.
Nobody has high expectations anymore.

We found out the developers this month, but that's beside the point. Konami announced their TGS lineup, and it only mentions PS3/360; they haven't acknowledged the Vita port in almost a year. It's gone.

I just bought Madden and am looking to get schooled online. Any takers? tayl0rpwnz
That's a shame. I honestly had forgotten the HD versions were even coming, to be honest.
No worries, OmegaZero.
