I wanted to support it but sadly shump isnt my thing
There not my thing either. Zero interest in them whatsoever, but it just really clicked with me. I'm 30+ levels in.

I sent an email to get a bit more information/clarification first. I don't want to make a thread without knowing a bit more about the situation.
That said the game is now working again online! I set up a couple of asynchronous games under the name "Whiskeyblues"
The game is kind of ugly, but plays really well. For $10 I highly recommend it!
That's why I haven't bought it. The screenshots look kind of hideous, and I find that most 3D games look even worse on the Vita screen.The game is kind of ugly, but plays really well. For $10 I highly recommend it!

I'm kind of shocked that Sony didn't have a sequel of some sorts ready for launch. The variety of multiplayer options would work really well on both wifi or 3g connections, and would have given them something to show off in regards to online multiplayer.
Did you do the tutorial? Flicking the screen does the same thing as using the Right & Left stick; It basically "kicks" the ball.
The game isn't playing itself, the players will kinda "corral" the ball a bit when it comes near them, to try and stop it, but they don't aim and shoot on their own. Movement and Aiming is done by the left stick, kicking is done by the right stick. Or you can merge aim+kick with the flick of a finger.
I'm guessing it's a LOT better than Puddle then, eh? Ech, I found that trial to feel kinda horrible, and boring. The framerate looked much too slow, and I felt I had less control over the long stream, than I wanted to.
I know there's been multi-praises on the game in here, but I'm still not 100% sold on it, haha. More so than I am on Velocity, however. I'm sure it's a good game, and I like it's presentation, but I'm sure I don't want another game like that ATM.
Heavily contemplating getting Gods Eater Burst however...

This is a great story too! Does the game offer Ad hoc multi too, or just the asynchronyous online style? Will possibly have to get it, if it offers both...

Ad Hoc, pass & play, online and asynchronous multiplayer, user generated levels, and fairly robust stat tracking.
Also, Mutant Blobs is an amazing game! It has fun mechanics, great sense of humor, and a consistent/fair difficulty.
Assassins Creed Liberation will be at Gamescom, like that's any surprise. I hope for two things; that it's playable, and that it's good. I really REALLY want a good Assassins Creed on Vita. Everything I've seen has looked promising, but scripted sequences often are.

Now that you've brought it up, I'm kind of surprised they haven't either, especially with the possibility of multiplayer over 3G. People have been pining for a new Advance Wars for a while, too.
Yeah, that's crazy, even pass and play, eh? Sounds line some very smart game design, will seriously have to consider it now.
Might have to give up on Growlanser until it gets full Vita support, and jump onto a few already-set releases in the meantime... (Definitely wanna get Growlanser though!) Puzzle-Platform stuff normally doesn't do it for me 100%, but solid personality + solid mechanics can turn the tides...
Thanks for the info!

They could take the same team that made Field Commander, but make the game tie in to an existing franchise, like Killzone or Resistance. That would give the game a larger built in audience, while highlighting the unique aspects of portable systems.
hell, I just want more variety in online gameplay. I just got into Hot Shot Golf's daily tournaments, and am already hooked (though I really suck at them).
That'd be a great idea, especially considering the Ghost Recon game for 3DS was a launch title.They could take the same team that made Field Commander, but make the game tie in to an existing franchise, like Killzone or Resistance.

I wish Virtua Tennis 4 had tournaments or some ability to compare scores with friends. I'll probably go through World Tour until I get a top score, but online play doesn't work well for me, so HSG's multiplayer sounds incredibly appealing. I don't want to buy the digital version, because if a new HSG Vita game comes out, I can't see myself going back to World Invitational, but it's definitely next on my list.

VT4's online multiplayer is a laggy mess. I have not been able to score a single point.
The retail version of HSG is $20, so even if a second one comes out in a few years, you'll have gotten your money' worth.
Ghost Recon Shadow Wars was the secret best game of the 3DS launch.
I'm having the same problem, but other people seem to go through it just fine. My internet's far from good, but I've never had problems with other online games, so I'm blaming it on the game.VT4's online multiplayer is a laggy mess. I have not been able to score a single point.

Yeah, I'm hoping it stays that way so I can grab it soon. I'm not a sports fan, but my Vita is going to become a sports game machine.

I'm really enjoying the game, minus the rather bland art direction. I'll play it some more tomorrow and post more detailed impressions.
Here's what I'm worried about with Assassin's Creed III: Liberation. You have that game and ACIII coming out the same day. Well, we've seen several live demos of various sections of ACIII looking polished and great, yet we haven't seen a bit of gameplay from Liberation. This is troubling, no? If you still don't have gameplay of a game coming out in three to four months, it usually doesn't bode well.
it's probably going to end up as a minigame collection
Well, we'll find out how well it bodes come Gamescom.
Yes the fighting system is easy but gets harder as you level up, and the labyrinths are the best thing I've ever seen in such a game

Alright. I just thought I would pass along this story:
So today i bought field Commander on PSN for $10, as I really wanted to play the asynchronous multi-player. Sadly the servers all appeared to be shut off. I find an email address for their community manager, and write him asking if the servers are indeed shut down.
I get a reply in less than four hours stating that he brought the U.S. servers back online and the game's online components are working again! How damn awesome is that? Anyone up for a game?
Wow if true. We should all buy the game based on how fuking awesome he is
That is a company worth of our money.

It was actually a she: Aimee Rekoske at Sony Online Entertainment who got the servers restarted for me. Just want to make sure I at least give her proper recognition for being super damn awesome.

I think I'll pick up the game just for the fan service SOE provided, that and it's only $10.
same problem with NFS Most Wanted and FIFA 13 we got no videos or anything at all from them (at least Ubi put a trailer for AC3:L )
I really do not understand why they keep Vita games so secretive.
They are afraid people will get interested in these games and might even -god forbid -buy them.
I wonder what Sony did with the so called 50+ Million that so called went towards the Vita marketing. They announce these titles and then you do not see them until gaming events and when you do it's mostly cut scenes. Is Nihilistic really working on COD?

I added four more games to my PSP games on the Vita thing. Final Fantasy IV Complete, Ys Seven, Cladun X2 and Dead Head Fred.
I don't see much Puddle talk in this thread. What do you guys think? I play it in quick bursts but i'm digging it so far.

If its the "8" at a time, I'll be terribly disappointed. After all of the waiting, I'd like access to the majority of PS1 games. I want a selection off the bat. Otherwise, I'm going to think "6 months if waiting and this is it?"...
I want Tomb Raider 1/2, RE1/2/3, Medevil, Cool Boarder, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Gran Turismo....all on the go, on Vita.
My worry is that EA is going to port (not a slightly downscaled PS3 engine/version), but a slightly better iOS/Android version, all while charging $40.00...while tablet/phone users will get the same game, or close to it for $4.99. That would seem bad, but, heck why would they really put a lot of effort towards Vita, when EA is now investing heavily on mobile. Vita deserves better. We Vita owners deserve better.
I hope I'm wrong.
I'm enjoying Puddle. I think its a good game for the price. I wish Neko would release some DLC for it but I doubt it. Puddle is a good game to pass the time on the Vita, I think its better than the Fooseball game Lol.

I'm thinking of getting the PSP versions of Metal Slug. I haven't played it since I had a Saturn and a RAM cart. I'm seeing multiple versions on the PSN store. Any opinions on which has the best emulation?
I had the MS collection on PSP. Its good, but I was waiting for it to drop from $20. 1-3 were pretty much perfect, but 4 and 5 lagged a bit if I remember correctly. Even at the character selection screen there's chugging.

If what I heard is true, and it's a big IF, as the info keeps changing... but this person told me virtually everything. They said there are a few games held up with licensing problems but just about the whole library will be there on day one.
Now, he didn't say what games wouldn't be. So it might be all of your favorite games. Or it might be random shit with weird music licenses(or companies that went out of business since initially posting the game on the PSN).
I can't say I know this as a fact, as I was also told that the June Vita Games Heaven was gonna be massive and now I'm a toolbag. But this person has given me legit info in the past including PSO-2 weeks before it was announced, Motorstorm RC being free weeks before it was announced... and other stuff.
Is the Atlus sale still going on ?

Ponn1, I got another question in the VC2 thread. Would you mind answering it ? It's related to the first one.
EDIT:
Item fetched.

Just did a quick skim of the last few pages and a search on the site, safe to say there is still no news on Ps1 support for Vita eh?
You're welcome. ;P
