So we get to see the new PSN today, I'm still wondering of they will update the vita one too
No, they said this will be a ps3-only thing for now.
But they're surely working on it for vita too.
Not really new info, but from what I've gathered, there's three SP modes: Operations (kinda like campaign), Time Trials (kinda like training), and Hostiles (infinite waves of enemies). There are 10 Operations missions, and 5 Hostiles missions. Not sure about Time Trials.

everything points to bite size missions. Maybe like that 3rd person shooter with the name that I can never remember (has numbers in it).

Unit 13 ?

But unit 13 had like 45 missions, good graphics and a working online component.

So I was a little bored last night so i decided to finally try the demo of shinobido 2. I got it months ago, played like 2 training missions, got distracted and later deleted it so it was available for me to download from my transaction list.
Now I LOVED Tenchu. I even loved Tenchu Z. Yes its the kind of game that gets bad reviews and totally deserves them as its full of silly things that make it deserve to be critisized on. However I still loved the games despite its issues. So with that in mind I thought this would be fun in the same kind of way.
The added a kill dude from miles away button with no skill button.......... whats the point in this game? Shame. Would have got it at somepoint if it wasn't for that. Just the classic sneak up and kill people thing of Tenchu always kept me entertained.
Anything new on PSMobile today?

Not liking the sound of that. Might have to skip it, unless multiplayer turns out to be a success.
Also, I just tried out the beta for PS All-Stars Battle Royale on the Vita. Having played it on the PS3 previously, I'm impressed by the Vita version. Online was pretty smooth, and it looked pretty good overall.

Just played my first online match in PSABR. Not sure how I feel about the game yet, but I can certainly say that it looks like a PS3 game on a portable.
That makes no sense. You mean it looks like a PS3 game on Vita?
PSMobile ports of OMG Zombies!, Cubixx and a very special game.
Yes. His comment made sense though ...

Nope.
Killjoy! I'm eyeing Infamous FoB, MBA and PvZ, can't wait for the EU PS blog to update.
I'd go for retail on MGS, due to size. I have most of my games on digital (even double dipped on Everybody's golf for convenience), and I use select retail cards as memory card expansions. Eg MGS is about 4GB, and I have a 32GB memory card, so I have 36GB effective storage.

What? No it didn't.
It had co-op.

depends how you look at it. The daily challenges worked which are kinda online. The co-op "worked" but the game changed from sneaky stealth / tactics game to a race with who can run and gun with the shotty the fastest. Played like 3 games online (had trouble connecting at the time but could have been the crap router I was using back then) and didn't like it.
How hard can it be to throw in some kind of co-op survival type mode into these things. Even some basic team death match or domination would have been great in that game. Just use the maps already in the game.Everything else about that game was great fun.
Vita really needs some competitive shooters that work well.

Oh, that crap that never worked and froze my Vita multiple times? When I did get it working the lag was so bad I was shooting my own guy in the face and the microphone was coming in as a garbled mess?
DCharlie
And even i am moderately surprised
worked perfectly fine for me and the wife though we did hit one or two bugs - the most annoying being one where the doors wouldnt open at the start of some stages.
Game made me really want R6: Vegas Terrorist Hunt on it
if you don´t like the game you are welcome to send it to me..

Never had any problems with co op in Unit 13 with regards to performance.
The real thing you have to worry about is stupid partners, I had one guy run up and shoot a guard with a rocket launcher in a stealth match! The worst part is that he would keep doing it, I left the game and he tried to join me again so I though ill give him another chance but no, did the same exact thing. I had to keep quitting and doing a new room every time he tried to join.

To clarify, the SP worked fine in Unit 13 for me, and that was the main part of the game I played. The MP sucked though.

I've played unit 13 for like 3 months now and haven't touched the mp once..
does that mean you won´t send me the game..?
just kidding.. will get Unit 13 with Plus soon,,

I loved the original Tenchu, but I couldn't get into Shinibido 2. Demo was just blah.
Yep.

Correct. And actually the vita version is already up if you have a ps3.
Uh, not on my PS3.

I keep getting When Vikings Attack and Orc Attack confused
Can anyone give me tips on air braking in WipEout 2048? I can't turn enough when I don't air brake and if I do air brake I fly into the walls. 
Oh and...
-> Buys $20 PSN card to buy Dokuro.
-> Can't find on PS Store.
-> Find out game is US-only and not coming to Canada, despite there being no reason it can't be released in Canada.
-> Have $20 on PSN wallet which I could have spent on bills.
SMH Sony. I've never seen a game be "US-only" before. :|
