Upcoming Vita Games (200+ Upcoming games in ENGLISH) || 2016 Edition ||

Tokyo Xanadu localization more or less confirmed by Falcom prez

Yayyyyyyy.

Hurry up and announce it then! My most anticipated game, announced or not :p

(And if 2016 is going to be the year of dreams part 2, then I can cross my fingers for Hero Must Die and Uppers some time too).
 
No new Soul Sacrifice pains me.

Unfortunately it's one of those series that is just stuck now Sony are phasing out their handheld line. Feels like it was pretty much made for handheld, and isn't something they could easily translate to a home console (unlike Gravity Rush).

Which brings me into the territory of why Sony can't be bothered to fund localized development for Vita despite the fact that it's still selling well in Japan which would be the primary market for something like Soul Sacrifice, but there you go.

That interview was really awkward to read, knowing that it's coming from the president of the company. Lots on non-answers, which makes interviews mostly useless, and "someone wants to help me?" requests that which makes things weird, since this is the president of a 35-years old japanese developer.
That's pretty much exactly how I'd imagine the president of a traditional and conservative Japanese company to answer questions haha. Polite and positive answers, without revealing any kind of actual details about success or future plans. Please be excited
 
CS2 is definitely my most anticipated game. I can not wait to go back to that world. But I also want XSEED to make is as good as they can. As long as its this year I'll be happy!
 
Opinions on Dokuro? Got 3 bucks left on my wallet.

I never finished it, but I liked it. Kinda janky and low-budget, but that worked for me. Cool art style. They definitely stepped their game up and had more money to work with on Murasaki Baby.

Paid $20 for it when it came out and also picked up the import copy off ebay for $40. $3 should go down smoothly, but it's your call.

Different developers, different publishers.
 
Must've heard someone say it was former Dokuro people when Murasaki Baby had been unveiled. Or maybe it just got compared to Dokuro so much because of the art style and escorting.

"we could, but we're a small company, who wants to help us?" Poor falcom lol

I liked Dokuro. Nice art style, good controls and plenty of content for $3. I think it has ~150 levels, all which can be solved within a couple of minutes once you figure them out. Some are kind of tricky though. Perfect for pick-up and play and it even has a platinum trophy if you stick with it.

It's nothing mindblowing but a nice little gem.

Dokuro was made by legendary JRPG developers Game Arts, who also made Grandia and Lunar. After GungHo's acquisition, they have kind of disappeared. Last thing they did was Grandia PC port and nothing since then. I hope GungHo realizes mobile is not the only platform around and have their precious developers (they own Grasshopper too) develop some awesome PS4/Vita stuff.

Murasaki Baby was made by some Italian indie studio, funded by SCE.

Yes. I looked all that up now as well and I know who Game Arts are. The Italian studio is named Ovosonico.

I wasn't trying to maintain my assertion that they were the same developers, I was trying to clarify the origin of my misunderstanding.
 
Ah, I see now. Gung Ho owns Grasshopper as well as Game Arts, and Ovosonico is lead by the Shadows of the Damned director as a former Grasshopper person and also tapped the composer for the end credits song in Murasaki Baby. I was probably watching someone who emphasized the former Gung Go connection when the game was first unveiled.
 
Real shame what happened with Game Arts. Although I wasn't a massive fan of Ragnarok Odyssey, at least they were working on something new, compared to the twat all they seem to be doing now.

Oh, so I guess there was a R3 English release of Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires.
Now time to find it.

You might want to PM an ex-PS-Nation regular poster who lives in Asia and has often offered to help ship these kinds of things (he's recently offered to get me a copy)

Why does Heavy-Arm say that the Helldivers physical Vita copy is out?

All I found was "Helldiver Super Earth Ultimate Edition (R3) PS Vita Version Cross Play Download Code from PS4 version = RM109 (Released~)"

I interpret this as getting a download code with the PS4 version. Where did you find that info?
 
Wish he also mentioned PSP compatibility too.

And PS1, since he mentioned streaming PS1 games from PS3 but didn't clarify they were available natively.

He's also so new to Vita that the memory card prices were clearly a fresh wound. Spent a third of the video on it like he's still low-key wrestling with why he waited 4 years.
 
Is Heavy-Arm reliable? Never know there are some R3 Asia version for Final Fantasy X HD Remaser AND X-2 HD Remaster. Now I need both.

Sorry for the bump, but I'd like to add another question to this topic.

I'm in Germany with an european PSN account. I know that DLCs from US or ASIA versions won't work but how about patches? I'd like tom import Soul Sacrifice Delta and I know that this game has many patches. Can I download them with my EU account or do I need a asian PSN account for this aswell?

Besides that, are there any good protection sleeves for Vita retail games? I'm aware of these sleeves for G1 or G2 sizes, but they are not really fitting the Vita retail packaging size.

A bit OT but good lord Borderlands 2 with all DLC for $4 is a hell of a deal! I heard that it performed like crap upon release, but this patched up version seems to run very well!

Patches are region free, so you can fully update any Asian-imported game.

By the way, DLC for some Asian titles will work on EU PSN, I believe (i.e. you'll have to buy the DLC from the EU store, but it'll work with an Asian physical copy). However I don't have the list of games this is possible for. I do have a copy of Soul Sacrifice Delta I can test it with later though, if you want.

The European Disco Fever Edition is kinda a mess.

Didn't even bother to put in a cardboard inlay? What the fuck is this.
Box is not shiny like the US one.
There is no card for the DLC, its just a Sticker on the game box.
Soundtrack CD is missing a Song.
