I'd imagine they don't do quick looks because there is no direct feed input like on consoles/3DS/PSP. They rarely use cameras on quick looks unless it's a special feature (Vita/Wii U launch), a kinect game (even then it's not directly on a screen and it's just supplementary footage) or if it's a QL EX. I hope the PS Vita redesign has video out then maybe we'd see Vita quick looks.

Yup!
Haha it is a pretty great game though. Amazing sense of humour and lots of variety for a free game
well this is just a lazy excuse if it's what GB use for complete lack of Vita QLs
off screen is enough and can look good too,look at this dude video. (just ignore the fact that the game is butt ugly)

And I doubt that they are lazy, I think it's just not worth it clicks-wise for them(same with the lack of PC and 3DS QLs)
Most handhelds haven't had video outs, yet that still hasn't prevented good sources from recording at least a little bit of footage themselves.

Wow. 3/10 totos
They have TONS of pc quick looks, in fact that's most the stuff I watch, quite a few 3DS ones too
Above ^
Psp, ds and 3ds all have video out provided to press. Vita does not.

I tried that already but did it again just in case. It didn't work. I backed up the system and did a restore. That took care of it. The cool thing is that the memory card was untouched so all my games and saves were still there. Once I played the game my trophies even restored as well. It was a fairly painless process.
On the discussion of trophies, the biggest issue I have is most of them are based on just doing things rather than doing them well. In Dungeon Hunter Alliance, which is awesome so far btw, the only trophies that deviate from the ones you get for going through the game are things like "Kill 500 monsters with a staff" or "Use every skill in the game once" Those are things to keep you busy, not test your skill. It's like the gaming version of the participation awards that they give little kids.

Admittedly they could just buy a dev unit

I need to find my huge write up I did on putting in HSG. It helped a LOT of people improve their putting percentage.
I don't do this.
..however I have a GB station (yea that what is called) in the bathroom for anyone to use.
nah many PC titles didn't got a QLs,was either some sim or eastern european game Dave or Drew bring from time to time or a random funny PC games, for 3DS was just the very big titles and nothing else.
Admittedly they could just buy a dev unit
maybe when there are millions of Vita owners who can click on their site,now yeah not likely(offscreen is cheaper and a decent solution but again..they don't give a flying poop).
Won the first Beginner tournament on my second attempt with bogeys on my tail. HIGHWAY TO THE BIRDIE ZONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNE~ *I did Bogey two times, but a birdie erased one and the other was at the last hole. Pissed me off since I was par for the entire tournament besides those two times and a birdie.* Thought I lost my first place but luckily I didn't. I "YES!"ed in the car. :lol

Ok, I've found out why I stopped playing Alundra.
I seem to have repressed the memories.
The Coastal Cave can go to hell and burn for eternity.

There's three different difficulty levels, high production values & shittons of music (I'm pretty sure that you aren't even paying 1$ per song, you'd probably be paying 1,50$ per song if it was some "free" iOS game). Just cough it up.
It's a lot for a digital game though. :\
If the physical was $40 then I'd have no problem getting it.

Well then, that was awesome! Need to hear more.
Speaking of soundtracks is there a good place to buy the P4G soundtrack digitally? If not what about physical releases? Soundtrack is stuck in my head.

It is the perfect game to have on your system at all times, and it gets pretty hard so the value is there as you likely wont beat it right away. I say buy it as well.
Well, I paid over 100$ for the Limited Edition physical copy. :3

Well, you shouldn't think of it as a "digital" game as it's a full retail title that's very difficult to get a physical copy. That'd be like balking at buying a new large title on Steam just because you're downloading it instead of picking it up in a retail store.
But if you really need the physical retail copy to justify it you can get it for $50 through Amazon sold by Pentavision, the folks putting the game out: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AMQMMEO/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Y2Kev said the Unit 13 online was sparse/dead, but I should think it will pick up with a decent number of new players from the sale.

If you like music games, it's worth every fucking cent. One of the best and most polished games of that genre in a while (that's so readily available in the US).
No, if you are wondering how it looks...

just as Derrick01 mentioned before in one of his posts there are more and more Lttp/recommendations threads for PSVita in Gaf nowdays..it warms the heart.
I thought it was not that hard(hardest part for me was doing some of the jumps on floating platforms).
and it's part of why Alundra is so good, 2D Zelda were easy but Alundra came and brought super awesome magic attacks and changeling dungeons and really dark story to the Zelda formula.

Oh don't get me wrong - I think it looks good. Definitely way better than the 3DS screen. Just a huge step down from Vita's.

The OP was titled as "Black PDP trigger grip on white Vita".
Also, the abstergo logo is just a decal for anyone who has not seen the white vita.

I had the Gamepad less than an hour in my hand, not in the most ideal lighting conditions and no Vita to compare. People that have spend time with both the Vita and WiiU Gamepad can make a better judgment than me.
I will update it, but not to the point it will resemble the old threads, mind you this was supposed to be about the PS Store only.

Found my guide on putting in HSG/EG
Turns out, the formula I came up with is nearly the same as the one found here! This is a fantastic site for general tips and tricks in the game.
Unrelated, I'm stoked to have finally gotten my hands on P4G, but I can't start it until I finish some other titles. If the game really does eat 60+ hours in a play through, I refuse to start until I know I can dedicate that time to that game alone.

Not as bad as I thought.

Handheld speakers are crap. I've been using headphones but just ordered the Pulse Elite since I hate using in ear. Anyone use the Pulse with Vita? How is it?
Its alright. It requires the wire to jack into the vita directly. I didn't notice any difference between the headset being turned on or off while connected to the Vita. The headset is better used on a PC in my experience.
Just picked up my Vita Went to the local Target, Wal-Mart and Best Buy to see if they had any bundles left. The only one I could find was at Target, which was a LEGO Batman 2 + Wi-Fi bundle for $250, so I just went with that.
My 32GB card should be arriving tomorrow, and then the onslaught of PSN downloads shall begin...

You liked FFT and havent played TO? Get it!
And try the RO demo. Most people playing it seemed to like it for what it was, but its definitely no Monster Hunter.
Never had PS portable device yet until I just got my Vita. I will have to play TO for sure then.

Anyone have the Vita version of Lego Lord of the Rings and can comment on the quality of the port? Is it a console port or 3DS port? I bought the PC version on Amazon and I'm having a blast, so I might get it on this later on if it's good...
My memory card seriously cannot get here fast enough. The Vita is practically an electronic coaster without one 
I don't own it myself, but I know for a fact it's the same as the 3DS version unfortunately.

I think people complained a lot about the picture quality of the Vita game.

Jabra Street 2
(Bluetooth, outputs to anything with a normal stereo jack and works with 2 input devices (eg phone or computer and the vita). Plug in headphones or those small mini speakers*.
Also has a mic and is quite useful with big devices in public transport as well.
*X-mini II
Total cost is about £50. Probably less in US. That Jabra Street 2 is pretty useful too. - Surprisingly good range too.
--Or you could just get those speakers you linked, same price £50..but it doesn't make all your headsets pretty much wireless and also phones.. ** - if paired with skype or something
