lol I hope you didn't spend a lot on those two "classics".
Got a Vita for Christmas, 3G version, a 4GB memory card, with Uncharted:GA, Sonic & Allstars racing Transformed, and Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz. I'll also get WipeOut 2048 for "free" if I top up my SiM card by atleast a fiver. I think I'll get a 16GB memory card since it seems like it wont be enough.
I've also downloaded FFV since I though it would be better to play on the Vita than my PS3, and I wasn't wrong. I like the functionality and how smooth everything is, although one time I switched it on and the back pad wasn't working; which was annoying for Uncharted, but it worked after I switched it on and off.
Anyway, one game I'm definitely getting wheb it comes the the UK in february is P4G, I'm also thinking of geting PS Allstars.
So far so good then

I'm not sure, but if you want to test, put in the card you didn't sync, open up a game with un-synced trophies, then open up the trophy app and see if syncing them adds to psn.
If yes, you're good.
If not, you're proper fucked.
The problem is I wouldn't even know if anything is missing. I barely spend any time with the Vita and I can't remember the last time I earned a trophy on it or what it would have been. I guess I also have to poke Pentavision to see if trophies will refire every time you meet their conditions in Technika Tune since that was the only thing I was playing.
The restore process is definitely half-broken; the last time I switched I actually got a pure white screen after starting the system restore and had to go to recovery to finish it.
Switching the card is definitely insufficient, you have to do a system restore (format the Vita system memory) every time.
They should remove all the touch BS and improve the location variety for the next one.

This right here. Even on iPad while watching a movie or something you notice can notice lag. There's even a delay when pressing play/pause/skip when your headphones are connected to your iPhone. At least there is on mine (bt 2.1). Maybe bt 4.0 is better for gaming, but I don't think Vita has it.

They should make a new IP.
Well it's not the Vita because on my bluetooth speaker there is only a very small delay. Bluetooth is an inperfect technology. And if your bluetooth speaker is acting up on Vita only, then it must be some problem of compatibility between your particular speaker and the Vita. I've tested my speaker on the Vita, Galaxy S3, and iPhone 4 and it's all about the same.
they can't even work on their own series I doubt Sony will just let them work on new IP.
I can see them begging Sony to let them make a new Syphon Filter(last chance) however a new IP is hard.
but then again mr Shu Yoshida love to throw shitty shooters at us, so Bend can tell him they have a new mindless shooter and he will green lit it in no time.
Not sure if serious, Derrick.
As much as I enjoy the ps3 games, I'd love Uncharted to take a much different direction on Vita, rather than just aping what ND did with the console titles. Or better yet, have a new star character (with brand new surrounding cast)
Game about Elena's adventures as a reporter?
Sully back when he was 20?
Whole game of Drake living on the streets as a kid before meeting Sully?
Villain hunting Drake?
It would be an even bigger bomba than that dead,buried and forgotten IP folklore.

Yeh tbh Sony might have some good studios but they're fairly poor at managing them. Assuming Bend want to i'd expand them to a 2 game studio (like they've done with Guerilla/Naughty Dog) and let them do a new IP (+ sequels) and carry on doing things like established franchise sequels.
Wouldn't mind "The Last of us" getting a Vita spin-off
I've tested the vita with a Bose Soundlink , Jawbone Jambox , and multiple receivers.
My iPad, iPhone, windows laptop, galaxy tab, kindle fire... They all work great. Vita is shit with them.
Perhaps it's my Vita then? Launch 3G. The touchscreen recently died so its going back to Sony once they send me the return box. Maybe I'll luck out and get one that works better over Bluetooth.

I have been using my Vita with a pair of Harman/Kardon "BT" Bluetooth headphones and I was surprised that there is not a noticeable lag. It had about a 1 second lag with my iPhone, but I can not tell the lag with the Vita. I think it's probably a compatibility thing, due to Bluetooth being fairly imperfect.
Drake's been pretty much everywhere now except to a lava world. Volcano dive in Uncharted 4!
Bad Derrick, bad.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind that.
Yup.
I really don't want Bend to be ND's clown sidekick,screw Uncharted and Zombie apocalypse game #21056
Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror wand Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow were so damn amazing(Shame that no one played them thank to the dead PSP and then the stupid decision to port them later to the dead PS2 instead of PS3) they are talented very guys and just working on rehashing Uncharted or other ND games will be a complete waste of talents and a good studio.
Finished up the main story in AC:L. I started Prinny: Can I really be the hero? this morning (thanks secret santa).
Will probably go back in AC, snag a few more trophies, buy up the remaining shops, and mainly finish the side stuff. While it wasn't an amazing game, it certainly felt like any other AC game to me. Having that on a portable is pretty awesome.
So far, I think my favorite "little" thing about the Vita is how responsive the home button is when suspending a game. It is all so seamless to be playing a game, suspend it, check the gaf vita thread real quick, and then pop right back into the game. No loading or waiting around.

That's a shame, something like that should be made by SONY immediately, especially seeing how it's definitely possible. It runs decently in an early version made by one person, imagine if Sony put a team behind getting games to stream to your Vita, even if it was just an app on PS3.
Currently, the way they're handling remote play - it's a joke. They're half assing it like they do many other features/devices they pioneer (and like they half assed it on PSP). If they wanted it to really take off they would make it mandatory for devs to support it, but that would go against how dev friendly they are now with the PS3.
I just really wish they would have true streaming from PS3 to Vita, I don't have the time/ability to really sit in front of my TV and game much anymore, plus my family hogs the TV usually so I do most of my gaming on the Vita. Also I'd kill for Minecraft on Vita, or just a good/fun sim or sandbox game.
Don't worry you can still get your boring jungle/tomb areas when Tomb Raider comes out next year.
Croft's Fortune sound like a worthy successor to Uncharted, but it's not a Tomb Raider game at all.
PlayStation Mobile is a failed service right now, no wonder programmers are jumping out.
Drake needs to head into the center of the earth this time.
Or maybe he can go to the moon.
I have yet to spend significant time with the wii u. I was comparing it more to the delay on my xbox when I simply press the guide button to view friends, messages, etc. While it may only be a matter of seconds, it is annoying (on the xbox).
I am never hesitant to quickly suspend my game and check something...so nice.
There's still the dreaded water levels. The worst in every game.

You are in for... a surprise:

Suspending a game is only marginally better.
That is actually pretty smart. Was that thing included in every KI purchase or was that an extra version?Tip to play DJMAX Technika Tune:use Kid Icarus: Uprising stand.
^ not my photo.
How is it? I was interested in this game too and I missed the NIS sale... ughh
Anybody else can verify this? I printed the PDF and ill try later today, Hope it works but it seems YMMV
Old school, cool and hard as balls. If that short description sounds appealing, you'll likely like it.

Hmm, it must be in my head. Regardless, I am impressed with the speed of this machine!

given this game's $50 pentavision could've packed one of those with each copy of the game
Idk, This is a random thought but...
As much as Im LOVING my Vita right now, is anyone else at least a little upset how Sony is handling this thing??? Quite frankly, Im a little baffeled by my available selections because all I can see is the superb potential of this device as a whole. Its a beautiful piece of work, the best handheld hardware Ive ever owned
If I was SONY, I would have had minimum 3 in house Devs making 1st party franchise games for Vita, maybe even adding 2 new devs purely focused on Vita developement... Obviously when there is more demanding and enticing software, the odds for a growing userbase will increase, Bigger userbase, Higher odds for 3rd party support. A trickle down effect. This isnt rocket science Sony
It makes me mad that Sony is treating this like some unwanted stepchild right now.. It doesnt deserve this...
2013 please bring me killer announcements

What Toma said.
Also, I never played it on the psp but I think it looks decent on the vita.
If I were Sony I had all my devs working on PS4 titles, because they NEED the PS4 to be successful.
I regret spending the $5 on it. Didn't like the controls or the humor in the game.
Sony in Japan NEEDs Vita to be successful because PS4 will likely have a sizeable chunk of a dying market in that region.
Thats true too, but apparently JP is getting quite a few more titles than the west does right? Vita JP and Vita West seems like completely different consoles now that get multiplatform titles between them once in a while and most of Sonys big devs are focussed on Western IPs, so I wouldnt be surprised if they focussed on PS4.
