In the US I assume?

I'm in the UK, we got Mortal Kombat, Chronovolt and Big Sky Infinity this month and Jet Set Radio is the only one confirmed for January.

Unless Jet Set is the only game next month then we've had retail games every month.
You guys get the pin ball arcade I think too.
 
So I got a Vita today and wow its great. Got little big planet and ps allstars with it. I really hope it will sell better because there really seems to be a lack of games. But now i got it so what other games should i get?

Well, you guys didn't start out with 3 retail either.
And yes, if you're talking SCEE, maybe you will get Lumines for PS+, but I still don't think it's likely. For the US? I'd think it's nigh impossible.

16th January – Jet Set Radio (PS Vita)
23rd January – Pinball Arcade (PS Vita)

So yeah, no retail game for January.

Corrosive, I just started ultimate ghosts and goblins...man this game is hard!

I warned you it would be challenging! :D
 
Just had a message when trying to watch an HD video on YT saying that I lacked enough card space to watch it. Deleted Mortal Kombat because, y'know, it's MK.

Is that how YouTube works on every platform or is that the Vita YT app being funky? Must confess my technical ignorance.

Fake edit, why are there still no decent Vita sales, SCEE :(

Regardless, there aren't enough Vita games for them to exclude retail games in the future. As a launch game, an exclusive and a game that is fairly niche Lumines has to be close to the top of the list. I bet we'll definitely see it next year.

Because SCEE forgot how to be good for the next four weeks.
 
So its like Final Fantasy where every game has its own world and story?

As mentioned, 3 and 4 are connected in some minor ways, but overall the Persona series shares similar themes but standalone stories. The older ones do have different battle gameplay (such as negotiations, like the main Shin Megami Tensei series). Still, you should have no problems at all picking it up at 4, and if you like it, check out every other SMT game that you can manage.

I doubt it- the licensed music is expensive.

So because the Vita library is small, you expect PS+ to start having retail Vita games every month?

They'll start rotating in PSP and PSOne games before they start doing that. And there's a lot of games compatible in EU... it's not like the US where there's maybe 50 PSOne games that are on the store. :lol

That's a straight forward implementation of viewing videos on demand in an application for everything that isn't a live-stream.

It's downloading the video in the background and while it's downloading it, it's calculating how much it has to download before it starts showing you the video because based on the download speed and length of the video it can calculate what kind of buffer is needed so it's not pausing in the middle of the video interrupting you viewing it.

This is also how (progressive, most common) flash videos work on the major PC platforms.
 
Have to chime in and say that retro city rampage is my biggest disappointment this year. I too regret buying it going on hype alone. Love all the old time gaming and pop culture references but the gameplay isn't very good. Actually it's just so.....boring. I play a mission, quit, go back a few weeks later to play the next one just to see if it gets any better. It doesn't. And now it's free for ps+ members.

I highly doubt they would give away so many retail games at the start if they didn't mean to go on that way. Why do that and get all the negative feedback if they're going to start offering PS1 and PSP games? They'd just be setting themselves up for failure. The reason PS+ changed to retail games in June is because people didn't like getting PS1 games.

Edit: Either way this is all just speculative talk, we'll find out as the months go on.

Alright, thanks.

Also sorry to anyone who I added to play MK with, I just flat out liked nothing about it.

Back to the masterpiece that is P4G.
 
PlayStation Mobile So far has only 40 games (Lemmings and Alien Breed are the only known one)the rest are Z-rated iOS-ish trash clones, and only 1 app (yes ONE..audio app) Beats Trellis.

I have to admit..the ideas was good on paper,brilliant even but the service failed to deliver everything and turned to another one of Sony's "me too", it failed to bring useful iOS/Android apps to PSvita, it failed to bring good games PlayStation Certified Devices, it failed to bring the well known iOS/Android publishers and indie devs to Vita and PlayStation Certified Devices, most of the publishers who listed as a supported didn't announced anything this just tell you that PSM is a non-wanted service.

It is not too early to judge,it is a Book that can be judged by its covers and PSM right now is a huge failure,it feel unnecessary and give nothing to PSVita owners and PlayStation Certified Devices owners, PSVita has the PSstores while Xperia/PSD owners have many app stores that give them millions of apps and games that are way better than what PSM offer right now.

My advice to Sony is to just close this service -that no one asked for- and rethink your mobile business priorities.

do you have ps+? t hat has a bunch of games for free on it currently.

try Uncharted, Gravity Rush, Sonic Racing Transformed, Zero Escape: Virtues Last Reward, Assassin Creed Liberation, Mutant Blobs Attack, Little Kings story, Hot Shots Golf, lumines, mortal kombat, persona 4g, ... i mean that is a good bit to get you started..

if you read back in the past few pages theres someones top 10 best and worst list which is decently accurate, and an upcoming 2013 game list.
 
Is Little Kings Story REALLY that bad? Looks awesome.... :(


i havent played it on psv but the main difference that people rag on it for is the slow down when you have a maxed team of 30 in your fully built town.... if youre not a real stickler/framerate whore it's totally worth it. the game was a lot of fun on wii and challenging.

really the only thing keeping this game from being a top PSV game are the frame drops....some other people complain about the change in art style as well, but thats up to you.

they added a few new things as well compared the wii version like a hospital for your army etc... which makes it like New Little Kings Story+ vs. the wii version.
 
Does anyone ever use this?

I've completely forgotten that it existed, :lol

I kind of like it, it's really easy while playing a game to just jump to my trophy list or contacts or whatever. It would be a lot more useful though if you could pin certain apps to always be there.
 
Is there something wrong with P3P on the Vita or do you just not like the game?

here you go
"P3P is a butchered port (of not a very good Persona game) the amazing world that the devs created originally for the Persona 3 is gone and replaced with a soulless point and click crap which mean not only a lesser Persona than P3/FES and every other Persona game but also a lackluster JRPG overall, there are cutscenes also removed.. heck even the new intro is not good.

The game wasn't originally intended to be this butchered abomination,it's not the original vision of Persona 3, it's just a disgrace to the original Persona name and a horrible mistake that should be forgotten.

There are the original and the not ripoff port (FES) if you really want to play Persona 3, but seriously do yourself a favor and do not touch P3P"

...just don't buy it. seriously don't do it.
 
Word on the streets is that there is some sort of "full" version of Velocity in the works. Does anyone know anything about this?

So you just don't like it then lol

I've played P3P and P3 FES, and I enjoyed P3P more for some reason, even though FES had The Answer. I was just hoping it wasn't a technical problem with the game on the Vita.
 
Yeah full Vita Velocity is in the works. Futurlab signed a deal with Sony to release multiple Vita games in 2013 :-D

Also I'm on a karting kick from Sonic Racing and my fiancee got me LBP Karting on PS3 for Christmas. I looooooove it! Wish it was on Vita as a proper port and not like the wretched Modnation Road Trip.

I heard the certifiction process or something was pretty bad and it was one of the reasons for its failure.

I think kassatsu knows.

Certification process just opened. So far only 1 game from paid sdk has released. There should be some more next update, people on the Dev forums have some games pending.

The only hiccup I have seen is some people having trouble linking bank accounts.

The framerate problems are very noticeable so if that bothers you, stay away from this version. I have maybe 15-20+ people following me and its pretty bad in the towns. Its kind of like I'm playing in slow motion. Despite that, the game is still very fun.
 
Mortal Kombat is on the PS Plus games list, but it's asking me to pay $30. Isn't it supposed to be free?
It's free in EU. No idea why it's in the Instant Game Collection section with the regular price. The PS3 version for MK is reduced though.

Maybe next week it will be discounted and they screwed something up.
 
Store still seems to be a mess.
Do we have anyone who posts up in here with knowledge of what the hell is going on in the SCEA store? I'd love to know why the store is still busted -- holiday sale link taking me to full priced vita games from last week, IGC showing a full priced MK PS Vita, etc.

Besides, I'm still waiting to hear from the Sony refund department re: Unit 13 fiasco. >_<

Or it was supposed to be discounted this week as well and they fucked up, as SCEA has a history of not understanding how to get things to display right in their store (see: Big Sky Infinity cross-buy, Unit 13 discount, etc.)

What is Crush (Vita/PSP by Sega)?
It's on sale for $2.50 and I swear I've seen people talk it up in here...
Store has no screens, can't find gameplay on youtube. :\

It's a very cool puzzle game where you walk around as a person and you have to switch between 2d and 3d to complete the puzzles. Hard to explain but it seems weird that there's no gameplay on Youtube. It's a PSP game. Also on 3DS. Definitely worth $2.50.
