Vita PSN Game And Service Thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
That's weird - the IGC on PS3 is 10 games at any one time :/

Like others have said, I'm expecting a pretty solid line-up, because otherwise the service for Vita-only buyers wouldn't be equivalent to the PS3-only subs.

Hmm, how the hell did I confuse that. Where am I getting 4 from? Let me remote play onto my PS3 and look. I can't get on it properly because the living room is upside down while the gas men put a new system in!

EDIT: on a different note. My Near encounters have gone from an average 45-50 at the start of the month to 70-75 for the last 3 days. My Vita hasn't moved out of the house.
 
Yup and a decent enough argument if you ask me, Sony aren't making you sign up for Plus, if you don't like the service that it provides for the Vita, don't get it.


I've both PS3 and Vita so them adding in is great news to what I already considered to be an amazing service.

You are right, no one is making you sign up for it. That is the opinion of a consumer though as Sony will see both as separate customers with some overlap.
If you only own a vita and are trying to support plus on the vita and the vita itself by buying Ps+ then sony should probably try and keep you happy. The bar has been set with plus on the Ps3. To give less and ask for the same price is just bad business.

But they want you to get it ?!?!

What about PS3 only owners?

Sony's argument will be that plus gets you xyz. If you are only able to use x and z because you don't own one of the platforms, that's your problem.

I don't really think Ps3 only owners should mind that much as plus on ps3(which is fantastic by the way) has set the bar for what plus should be like on the vita. They announced Ps+ for vita as it's own thing with an instant game collection, cloud saves etc everything the ps3 has. I think it is just a major bonus that ps+ is tied to an account instead of on a per console basis, think of it as reward for loyalty. The selections and services will probably be handled separately, maybe .

XS Soccer, Ping Pong, Racers!

Any of these any good ?

I've done a few hundred miles in the last week and found loads of people playing Assassin's Creed Liberation. Good stuff.

The amount of Vita owners doubled in my near vicinity. about 30 a few weeks ago, now 64.

From my near finds everyone in my part of town seems to be playing Assassins creed and 25 people seem to have gotten their hands on P4 the golden(possibly imports)
 
Gamasutra wrote an excellent postmortem on Uncharted Golden Abyss. I'd make a thread but I'd like to finish reading it first, if anyone else wants to go ahead feel free to do so.
Game Length. The game was big. Much bigger than it needed to be. We've never skimped when it comes to play time in our games. I think most of the Syphon Filter titles clocked in at eight to 10 hours, as did Resistance: Retribution. The first run through of Uncharted: Golden Abyss took players 16 hours.
Bullshit they are saying that like it's the average length.

A few people in the village where i live are playing. I went to a city and there were loads of people playing.

The brilliance of Near is finally starting to reveal itself to me lol

It was designed to give Vita owners the impression that more than a handful of other people actually bought one.
 
I spent two hours on the bus doing training and trial mode for SFxT. Still suck.

I guess there is no way to disable gems outside of not selecting them on the pre-fight screen, right? Sorry, new to the series .. didn't play console version.

MUD vs. WRC3 on Vita.

Ultimately the difference between these two games is simple: WRC 3 is for those who like to tweak suspension levels and scrape fractions of seconds off their best race time, whereas MUD should be the choice of those who like their racing games to be less about the tyre pressure and more about the stunts.

Both games are solid graphically, and there wasn’t any noticeable slowdown whilst playing. The multiplayer code seemed to work well on both sides as well.

However, this is a race and I’m going to have to declare a winner. Speeding across the finish line in first place is MUD – FIM Motocross World Championship, pipping WRC 3 to the post thanks to the amount of content it has on offer, which should keep you engaged for a long time. If, like me, you were horribly disappointed by the official Vita Motorstorm game MUD makes a very pleasant replacement.

WRC comes in a very close second though, losing traction at the last moment due to its limited content. However, it does look gorgeous though, especially the trees.
 
I just received my vita in the mail, wow this a beautiful device. It just oozes quality. It is used but looks like it was untouched, not bad for $120 bucks. I cannot wait to start playing with it. Right now it is charging so I cannot turn it on, but I am excited!!!!
 
Would it be safe to assume I could get 7 hours of battery life on the Vita playing PSP games? I am trying to decided if I should just bring my Vita on a 14 hour flight or the PSP with its 7 hour battery and a spare 4 hour battery.

When you turn it on, buy Mutant Blobs Attack, Velocity, and When Vikings Attack.

You're welcome.
 
@Hanmik and @Ken

yeah, I was able to download the game and it appears on my download list. And I did play it quite a bit, more than AC3:L, and I was able to rate this one.
I'll try to login on SON latter and report to you guys (I cant access it right now because my job's firewall dont allow me to).
Same thing happened to me. I bought the game on the 23rd. I am able to download it from my download list, but if I look on the game's page, it says I need to purchase it.

I think it has to do with the DLC problem they had. Apparently, we were supposed to get the alternate costumes for 38 characters DLC pack with the game but if you bought it before the 26th you didn't receive it. They then put a new version on PSN that is fixed, but we don't have access to that one. Capcom was supposed to have fixed our accounts by this past tues but nothing ever got fixed.
 
As i wrap up assassins creed liberation. I can't help but think how much better it would have been if they had more time to optimize/expand the game. By the no way is this a harsh critisizim of the game itself as it is still a spectacular game worth experiencing by every vita owner. On that note i thought about all the vita titles i've currently enjoyed and look forward to future vita games and what they'll bring to the table. Looking forward to these

Super Excited
Persona 4 The golden
Muramasa: The Demon Blade (This former wii exclusive was a blast to play)

Some others
Retro city rampage(still waiting Sony EU)
Guacamalee !
Final Fantasy X HD
ZOE HD
Jet set Radio HD
Big Sky Infinity
Knytt Underground
CAVE STORY + maybe ? (Nicalis seem to have certified it for every console alive)
All star battle royale (even though the vita beta was meh !)
Tearway (Exclusive!)
Eufloria Adventures (ps mobile)
Machinarium (seen vita and ps3 software ratings for this)
Soul sacrifice (aka Monster Demon Souls Hunter)
Dyad

Curious as to what everyones most anticipated Vita titles are ?
 
SCEE just posted their PSN download charts for October.

  1. Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation
  2. LittleBigPlanet PlayStation Vita
  3. MotorStorm RC
  4. Doctor Who : The Eternity Clock
  5. Need for Speed Most Wanted
  6. FIFA 13
  7. SunFlowers
  8. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater – HD Edition
  9. Burn the Rope
  10. Table Top Tanks

Great to see Liberation at the top despite only one day of sales.

Most Wanted is a bit lower than i thought it would be though.

And Smart As isn't there at all...

The sequel to the one I just finished which I cant name because saying that it has a sequel is sort of a spoiler I guess. Not officially announced yet, but oh boy. Ooooh boy, am I looking forward to this.

Smart as is grossly overpriced for the product it is. Not saying its BAD, but I dont think they should have priced it any higher than 15$.

Surprised to see Doctor Who this high, anyone played it? Impressions?

As long as you're running in AP mode and using headphones you should be fine. For an even longer playtime I know you can get those portable chargers for cheap. Or a Nyko power grip.

As soon as the orange light stops flashing you can turn it on and go.

It's a retail game so obviously it's higher than that, lol. £20 in the UK isn't too bad of a price for it IMO.

I'd have paid £20 for it.

But it's also first party, meaning it'll be a PSPlus Free Game eventually.

To be fair, it was in the top downloads section on the store all the way from launch until a few weeks ago. Had to come to an end eventually!

It was on sale in the US, so got a nice bump. Great to see :)
 
That sale really made a difference it seems.

Sales moving software is always a good thing. Says a lot about how "connected" your audience is with your service.
 
Gravity Rush ?

No, only highlight if you really, really want to know.

~~~~~~~~~Virtues Last Reward~~~~~~~~~~

Guaranteed to get a sequel after that ending.
 
Got it, it is on now. Wow, I love it. I am toying with the UI now.

Congrats! There's nothing like turning on that Vita for the first time.

My copy of VLR finally arrived today. Amazon is kind of shitty for us Canadians.
Took over two weeks for it to arrive. Paying $10 for shipping, it should have been here in half that time, like most other places I order from within the States. Hell, even when a friend of mine sends me stuff from the US (with $3 shipping) it's here within a week.

That aside, can't wait to dive into it. I should finish ACIII:L up first, but I can't resist. Plus I want to play it before spoilers start flying around.

Very wise. Enjoy it! Great game.

Why order it from Amazon.com instead of Amazon.ca?

Thanks!
Most of my friends have already played it, so I look forward to being able to discuss it with them.

Why order it from Amazon.com instead of Amazon.ca?

For the pre-order bonus!
Aside from that, I've had nothing but bad experiences with amazon.ca. Normally I buy from Amazon.com, and have a friend in the US order it using his prime account, and then just forward it to me. Amazon.com was shipping VLR direct to Canada this time, though, so I went that route. It actually took longer to ship direct to me, than it does routing it through my friend.

Wonder if it had something to do with customs?

That last line has to be a piss-take.

I was torn between these two and went with WRC. I wish I'd bought FIM instead :(

Ah well, Most Wanted is better than both.

Possibly. The last tracking update had it in Illinois on the 1st. Tracking ends once it crosses into Canada, so it was probably at customs that day, or on the 2nd. Can't imagine it would take another week to get here from there, so it likely was held up.
 
Finally ordered a Vita because of a nice tax refund. Got LKS with it, because I liked the Wii-version even though most reviews aren't that positive. But in the case of niche titles like that, I can't trust reviews any more xD

Gonna get Persona 4, too. Really looking forward to it!

Welcome VitaBro!
 
What the fuck sony. I'm trying to get the free game you advertised on my vita box and this is the response you send me after telling me I'm able to get the game:
Thank for your response. My name is Lupe, I will be assisting you today. I apologize for the inconvenience, but the "Free game offer expired August 31, 2013 or while supplies last." I am sorry but you did not sign up for the plan with AT&T in time to qualify for the offer.

Thank you for your time and interest. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience.

You're telling me that because the offer expires NEXT YEAR I'm no longer eligible after telling me you could fix the issue in the last email you sent? The only thing I can think of is the "supplies last" bit. How can you run out of digital supplies?

Did he make a typo?
Or does it say 2013 on the box as well?
 
could you download it..? does it show on your download list..?

try to log in here https://account.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/pc/login.action and see if it registered on your list..

Just confirmed that the purchase is registered in my list on SON website, but I still get a "buy now" button instead a download button on PSN store. This is very strange, I think I'll send an email to Sony support (or it's a waste of time?).
