I was seeing gurl and sis being thrown around. Damn it pop-gaf!

Who says that's POP-GAF?

Also Space if you use your system more often I'll message you on PSN more often.

Though 2.0 has added the annoying trait of sending me messages I'VE sent along with messages I've already read if I boot into the PS3 later. :/ WTF.
 
So ?: is Sonic Allstars delayed on Vita? the date was 12/11, now showing 12/18. On Gamestops website, the 3DS version is pushed to 2013. Is the same going to happen to the Vita version, slowly moving delays until its pushed to 2013, too?

Dunno.

also, Bend mentioned they were hiring for AAA Vita game, right? What if everyone is expecting Unchated sequel (which GA was a prequel), and theyre the studio working on Bioshock Vita? I wonder if thays actually the case. Maybe Sony knew better than to give that to Nihilistic at the time, and arranged to have their top tier Vita studio completeit, with high quality for Irrational? I dont think its out of the realm of possibility.

Would be a waste for Bend, Bioshock ain't gonna sell.

is there a way to transfer things from ps3 to vita without the cord? is there a way to stop the ps3 from deleting the item off the ps3 after its transferred to the vita?

Did the last update only allow transfer wirelessly with PC? Can't remember.
 
Kyon, Seks and I are all gurls. Not girls. Tamaster too I think. And Trigger as well...I don't remember.

Check your messages. :|

(and now I'm off to bed

So, Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified 2 so Sony can put a bullet in them? :p

Bend doing a FPS for the system would maybe work. Their God of War outings were pretty good.
 
Bend never made a God of War game. Their product history includes Syphon Filter, Resistance: Retribution, Uncharted: Golden Abyss, and Bubsy 3D back when they were Eidetic.
 
I wonder how good a Ready at Dawn Uncharted Vita game would have been...I think their PSP games were even better than Bend's (which were awesome too).
 
10/10 Greatest handheld ever made. I was very critical of the vita for the past year but was BLOWN away when I started playing this thing. I don't think i'll ever play an ios game again and the elegance and design of this system puts the 3DS to shame. Considering it's price and the fact that a good size chunk of the library is F2P with PS+ people are being idiots if they don't buy this thing.

I don't understand this.
 
Not holding out much hope for Netflix over here :/

@Paul_LFC Hi Paul - We don't have any info at this time as to when or if we will support streaming on PS Vita in the UK. We'll announce it.

"If"? Sounds like it's never coming.
 
Btw, started UC properly earlier. I was surprised to see that there arent any clear distinctions between chapters. I was still looking for stuff I needed to find in Chapter 1 when I was already way into chapter 2. Weird. I assume, one should theoretically be able to find everything on their first playthrough,right? I dont need to unlock something/progress to a certain point to find all the goods?
First run: Normal playthrough on Hard
Second run: Collectible run through on Crushing

If you're that way inclined, drop into chapter select after that to polish off any combat trophies.

So, is there anyway to send Near stuff to people on your PSN list? Because I haven't found a way to do that outside of Treasure Park purposely having something like that in "game."

If I could get someone with a few of the rarer bounties to trade with and complete my bounties list faster (FUCKING RARE ARCANA ONLY AVAILABLE ON TWO CHAPTERS, WHYYYYY), it'd be useful.
I got an item via the black market from a PSN friend via Near. When I asked him the next day how he did it he stared blankly into oblivion - he had no idea it had even happened.
 
I don't understand this.

I get it. There's so much negativity surrounding the Vita that people could easily lose sight of the fact that it's awesome. See the whole 'Most Wanted doesn't look as good as on consoles' thing where people ignored the fact that it was the best looking portable racer ever because it didn't measure up to the home systems.

I'm thinking of starting a thread in a couple of weeks when the Amazon Vitas start being delivered. I want to see how new owners feel the device measured up against their expectations. I expect a lot of surprised positivity.

That's the way I'm doing it too, even though I found the majority of collectables in my first playthrough. At chapter 16 on crushing at the moment. Unexpected easy ride so far.
The black market has been useless so far or I'm just to dumb to understand how it works.
 
Got my white Vita delivered today. Sexynessssssss. Just put my black one on craigslist, hopefully it sells soon. Livin la VITA LOCA BABY!!!!!!!! (just like ricky martin)

I've already seen plenty of people in the thread for the Black Friday deal talk about how impressed they are. There are a few that it didn't click with who sent it back for one reason or another but that is to be expected.

My guess small userbase,not enough demand.

The app is finished in English at least. At most it needs translating for EU countries but I don't know if the US app already had other languages in it or not.

This is what pisses me off about Sony and others companies. Fans can see logical reasons for something happening but they never do or take ages to do so and yet we get no explanation why it is.

I'm at chapter 27 I think, it's by far the easiest of the games.

I think the increased drop rates for the bounties makes the black market redundant to be honest, I've already completed a couple of sets.

Sounds like a good idea. I tried my best to stay out of range of the negative atmosphere surrounding the Vita here on GAF but it's hard to do when browsing the gaming site.
Glad the amazon deal came around, otherwise I wouldn't have bought one at this point.
In fact, I snatched another 149€ Vita yesterday lol.
 
No Netflix for the UK at all it seems then? That is most disappointing and as others have said, there seems to be no logical reason for it.

Here is the already completed app for the US, here it is for everyone else. However due to numbers, it will only be released in English, no matter the content available.
 
is it not possible to download the netflix app using a US user, and then use it on your EU account..? I would really like netflix on my vita..

Seems like to be the case with each new entry in the series or my subjective view is distorted by the fact that I just have gotten better and more accustomed to the games and the way I play them.

When I checked, I had most of bounty set almost completed with only a few bounties missing.
Seems more like an excuse to incorporate the Near functionality :P

You could do it at one point, but now that they have changed the firmware so you can only used content from that region on a memory card it will no longer work so if you didn’t do it before you are shit out of luck (Like me).

boohhhhhhh Sony (and Netflix for not supporting EUROPE)...

I remember I went through the hassle with Youtube, when I bought my Vita last summer. .. but it didn´t work

With certain setting you can do i think ;)


I need to look into few old stuffs, if i find ill tell you
 
It is, from where I'm sitting.
But I'll tell you without hesitation or doubt in my mind that Uncharted 2 is the worst game in the series. ;)
A lot of people who didn't like 3 do the same thing. Based on that, I think it's safe to say that Golden Abyss isn't the worst Uncharted game?

And yes, Uncharted Golden Abyss is currently free to PS+ users in EU or NA.

I disagree that 2 is the worst but aside from that its extremely impressive that golden abyss hangs with its console brethren. The graphics, the voice acting, the entire presentation is outstanding. The only thing it lacks compared to the others are the huge setpieces but thats okay. Easily my favorite handheld TPS ever made. I want a sequel!!!!
 
I just got down setting up and playing Uncharted on my vita. Here is my review:

10/10 Greatest handheld ever made. I was very critical of the vita for the past year but was BLOWN away when I started playing this thing. I don't think i'll ever play an ios game again and the elegance and design of this system puts the 3DS to shame.

Critics based on what? On haters' words? On nintendo and apple propaganda?
People do not use to judge things after a try?

Hopefully the more people buy it the more the truth and good impressions spread.


Because I'm getting Spy Hunter today here is my DO NOT BUY List of games(PSVita) that I have played.

-Ragnarok Odyssey :This is a Monster Hunter clone. and Monster Hunter sucks balls. whatever you do..just do not buy this turd.
-Resistance: Burning Skies different devs but it's just as bad as Insomniac's shitty Resistance games..avoid it.
-Little Deviants :it's an iOS ..thingy, laugh and move away if you see it.
-Reality Fighters Why they made this? it's not a real fighting game..it's not anything.
-Asphalt: Injection an iOS game to it's core, it feel like it's on rails.
-Dynasty Warriors NEXT an 2001 game on your Vita. why? I dunno, it's old with nothing new and freaking boring.
-Silent Hill: Book of Memories broken broken gameplay.
-Ridge Racer Namco should've just give us RR7 port,instead they gave us this empty game. don't reward them for this.
-F1 2011 a 3DS port that look ugly as fuck and play even worse than Bruno senna and Grosjean combined.
-Lego Harry Pottera horrible port of a horrible game.

stay away from these horrible games,all of them.
Sorry but some of your statements are clearly incorrect.
1)Ragnarok odissey has almost nothing to do with monster hunter, did you really play these two games? It is closer to phantasy star portable, it has missions in dungeons full of minios + boss fights, nothing to do with the typical gameplay of monster hunter.
2)dinasty warriors next is a good game, i hated previous dw game, but i really loved this one, native resolution, 4xaa, many many enemies on screen every single one with detailed shadows even on stairs(unlike many other vita games), it has lots of content even new for the saga(like custom characters), i put 60 hours on it(story mode lasts a little less than 30 hours), it deserves more love. A 2001 game? lol.
3)silent hill book of memories is a very underrated game, it has it's faults, but i really enjoyed it and i'm not the only one, infact in my store it has a 4,4/5 score. One thing that i will never understand is why this game that is clearly a spinoff and has not really bad faults is hated so much while resident evil 5(played recently with ps+) that is a main game, is not a survival horror but a bad bad bad tps with incredible faults that would have destroyed any other game(no walking while shooting, no manual reload, covers only in selected spots etc) long story short is a real shit but got very high scores and everyone bought it(not me because luckily i'm not blind).
 
Can someone please explain this to me.

In settings I have everything ticked in auto-start settings, such as near, group messaging, update online status for playstation network etc

But whenever I turn on my vita, these things aren't running ( well the apps don't appear to be open)

How does this supposed to work?
 
My PSN is from the UK, I live in Ireland. If I buy Wipeout 2048 here in Ireland, will I be able to redeem the online pass on the UK PSN, which is currently linked to my Vita and has all my PS3 trophies?
 
This is what pisses me off about Sony and others companies. Fans can see logical reasons for something happening but they never do or take ages to do so and yet we get no explanation why it is.
Yep, this is what's frustrating. From both Sony and Netflix's responses, seems like the problem lies firmly with Netflix on this one - but if, as looks likely, they're never releasing it, I'd rather they just be honest and say that instead of dodging the issue and saying "if/when" to give people false hope.
