All these $30 games, I love it!

Where's Fady K at lately? Has Chelsea's capitulation hit him that hard?

 

[Funyarinpa]

So between 0 and -1, what are the odds of Danganronpa AE being discounted to $25 or lower in Black Friday? I'll be getting digital, but I know at least Amazon offers a digital version. I'll probably get it from Amazon or PSN. (when is Black Friday BTW? Non-American here)

Also, Amazon US has some early BF deals. Muramasa Rebirth, Xblaze Lost Memories, Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters and that one curry JRPG was the stuff currently on sale IIRC. I think these deals only last like a day though, so you might want to hurry if you want a deal.

High Tech Racing+ comes out on Vita on the 10th:

This showed up on trophy sites ...

Really looking forward to this.

Anyone know if they made/are making any improvements to this engine for Vita? Know that they changed engines for some of the games that hasn't made it over. Ran better but still chug fest in town

That's why you should buy the 60FPS Bikini DLC.

So that's when it will come out digitally as well? Cool ! As I got the game through PS+ and its reportedly cross-buy, it would be nice to dive into the game on my Vita.

Played little of on my PS3 and it was very interesting; loved the look/style of the game and the gravity mechanic was very interesting.

 

[calc84maniac]

Blood Drive could be a way better game if it ditched Unity.

No kidding. I'm playing through it now and there are so many (mostly loading sound effect related) hiccups. But I guess Unity makes some amount of sense given its RPG Maker roots.

 

[Takao]

Wasn't the original release of Dead Patient also using Unity? Probably done to reuse some assets,

Spoiler

and maybe speed up the process of a long derailed Vita port of that game.

Not going to happen, since newer versions of Unity have even worst vita performance and support. No wonder why so many games using Unity are being cancelled.

The derailed part of my comment had to do with Corpse Party 2: Dead Patient going silent for 2 years. Though, potentially bad Unity support works too.

 

[DrunkShogun]

I need recommendations for the vita because i have hit a dry spell. Looking for a game with either a real charming story or solid gameplay. Open to all genres minus sports and racing. got most of the big name games so looking for an obscure one that i might have missed. open to psp recommendations.

Trails in the Sky for a charming story with amazing characters in a classic JRPG or Brandish for super polished tactical dungeon crawling awesomeness

Both PSP because PSP games are awesome

More honest words have never been spoken. Already own trail and your description did indeed match my opinion. Will probably look at brandish then. Eu store is terrible by the way. No valkyrie profile, no xenogears or jeanne d'Arc.

Yeah many classics are missing form the EU store, it sucks. Hopefully it won't take much longer for Trails SC to release in EU as well.

But yeah, can't go wrong with Brandish. It's made by Falcom and localized by XSEED, just like Trails, and I don't think Falcom is capable of making bad games.

I've noticed myself that falcom is a pretty consistent developer. Can't wait for trails for the psp and with the vita version of the trails cold steel also coming it should be good for a few months.

Sony where lucky they pulled this shit early on before *internet-mobs* where a real thing since I can't imaging it happening today. A first/second party release in only one part of the west.
And no I don't really care if it's easy to get another account, already have one for Japan and USA. I shouldn't need to when it comes to their own IP. As for third party releases though...I can understand that if they where never released here to start with.

Jeanne D'arc I've always thought was a strange one- a fantasy take on France and England and they are two of the places where you can't play it! Annoying as it's one of the better SRPGs out of loads on the PSP.

Back when Jeanne came out PSP didn't have a digital store, so it was either retail or nothing.

VitaGAF, I'll be visiting Spain at the end of this month and I'd like to take home a Vita game I'd like. Some stuff I'm looking for:

-Must not be missing anything compared to its US version/ must not have DLC (using US account)
-Has a good story (sci-fi preferred)
-Physical cart needed
-Preferably in 20-30EUR range, but not mandatorily.

I've played Steins Gate, VLR, and the first two Danganronpa games and love them all (for reference). Not getting Another Episode because I want the JP dub choice, and I'd rather wait for a sale anyway.

(Open to story based DS/3DS suggestions as well, currently considering Ghost Trick or Chrono Trigger)

P. S: In Spain, which chain stores etc. am I likely to find Vita/DS games in?

 

[outunderthestars]

Just in case anyone is interested, the Vita is on sale again on Ebay for $160

No, but they have pretty good feedback, including people who bought vita's the last time they were on sale from the vendor.

Rakuten also has it for $149.99 with promo code RAKVITA (Credit TWEEG on CAG)

Any good SRPGs besides Jeanne, FF tactics, and Ogre?

Front Mission 3 on PSone. Also Arc the Lad 1+2, they are epic.

There's also Gungnir, and Valkyria Chronicles 2 on PSP, and Natural Doctrine on Vita (although I'd read reviews of all of those first.)

Whew, jesus. Just lucked out and grabbed the only copy of the Rayman double pack an Australian retailer (Mighty Ape) had in stock. Cheap as shit compared to what I've seen on eBay too.

Apparently it's fairly common in France and Spain, but it sure isn't here!

Guys, it's been ages! How have you been? Major apologies for not updating this thread frequently enough in the past couple of months (job lost due to budgetary reasons in the company, hope to get one soon ^_^)! I did overhaul the entire main page though, and I have lots of updates to post today. Enjoy and apologies again! And I must say - I MISS you guys. I don't know any of you personally but the majority of you grew on me and seeing you all in this thread from time to time brings a genuine smile to my face.

So this thread is back in community now?

How odd, as this should be a gaming thread (covers new games coming out soon, ect). Guess since 'The Vita is dead' is the motto on Gaf, the moderators figured to push this into the community section of the forum :l.

Regardless, you always do a great job Fady K, so keep up the great work !

Thank you kindly friend Today I'll have plenty of updates throughout the day. Enjoy!

No room for anything other than MGS V I guess.

This thread sold me on getting a Vita again!

Welcome aboard the Vita train and hope you enjoy it

O_O!

I feel so stupid now X(.

I meant Fady K .

Sorry guys for my mistake, and I will edit my post to fix that right now.

It don't matter and there's no need to be sorry, your kind words are appreciated all the same

Flady K would be an unstoppable force of Vita love

My bro Moobabe. I hope Chelsea recover after the international break >_>

Fady K scratch Agito+ from the list, it was cancelled.

The sooner vitabros will forget the whole type 0 thing, the better.

All done, thanks 2+2=5. The whole type 0 saga on the Vita is ridiculous.

You won me over Vita-Gaf

Welcome aboard

Few days ago I started Uncharted: GA.
Damn! This game is @#@ incredible, especially graphics. Why Sony, why!? Why you don't release more AAA first party games on this console? Such an amazing potential.

It's a damn shame too - I LOVED U:GA - sure, some stuff was gimmicky but the overall package was incredible. It's actually my 2nd favorite Uncharted game after 2.

Where's Fady K at lately? Has Chelsea's capitulation hit him that hard?

I'm here now mate ^_^ Chelsea's capitulation SUCKED haha, but it was work trouble mainly that kept me busy (need to find a new job, contract with our company was not renewed due to budgetary issues T_T pray for me haha). I missed you guys very much and have much planned for today!!

I messaged Fady a few days back but no reply. That whole life-away-from-the-internet-thing sometimes hits people hard.

You guys have kept the thread alive since I posted here nearly 2 months ago! Incredible !!! I hope to add plenty of stuff today that will give you guys some enjoyment for the day ^^ I msged you back earlier btw ^^

It's been hard for us all...

Heavy Arm is... sort of okay. They're a Malaysian-based retailer who have no issues shipping worldwide if you ask 'em (literally have to email and ask for an estimate). Their prices are extremely fair, but they're rather slow.

https://heavy-arm.com/en/30-ps-vita-popular-games?id_category=30&n=50

They have the English versions of Oreshika, Samurai Warriors etc, but I'm not sure about stuff like FFX-2 anymore.
