Lol it might be the puffy cheeks throwing me off lol

her "puffy" cheeks are super cute.

MLB I guess?

that just a port tho.

if we are talking about original one that made for Vita,then what we get?U:GA?the uncharted cards one?

 

[DigitalOp]

I just got this fiending urge to add DOA5+ to my backlog. I don't even play DOA like that but I realized I would definitely get more burn out of it on the go with Vita.
Once it hits 20, I'm on it!!

 

[cyborg009]

All those indie games are probably partially funded by SCEA or SCEI. SCEA should die anyway, they are shit.

They must have really mess up on that call of duty deal.

MLB I guess?

Technically yes but MLB the show is a annual franchise.

edit: I wonder what happen to nStigate ?

It's actually very good on the go,I don't really sit and play fighting games for hours on consoles(like I do with SP games) but with Vita I got played it more than on my PS3.

I think it's actually Bently's Hackpack which was announced and released in February. Well, they're also publishing Table Mini Golf, though that's likely an import from SCEE given it has a UK developer. It gets a bit better if you count Pub Fund games, as it is supporting Metrico which was just announced as a Vita exclusive.

edit: I wonder what happen to nStigate ?

They're presumably working some self-published mobile game.

Never said it wasn't cute, but in that gif it kinda looks like we're heading to what she had for lunch.

Explain this to me, after viewing the gif page. What exactly does she do? I mean I get the idea of an idol, but some of those gifs are borderline JAV stuff ... do idols go down that route?

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Well, this thread got weird really quickly

 

[Certinty]

I need a cheap way of getting Sly Cooper on the Vita only.

Was thinking of buying the PS3 version from Amazon for £25, getting the Vita version then selling it for £16 trade-in at Game. Problem is there isn't much to spend that money on at Game.

Anyone got any other ways?

there is no "jav" stuff there not even close,she is a traditional gravure idol (and more and more of an actress these days)and she don't do any nudity at all,for any idol to do anything weird they need to "retire" first and leave their gravure agency" and this happens to the unpopular and stupid ones,not the top rated.

well used Vita copies are pretty cheap.

but hey you are from the uk,so I'd say just wait a week or two and the price will drop even more.

If I had to guess, for using only the touch screen, while keeping it in a case that would protect floor drops.

Hey man, just calling it like I see it. No idea what gravure idols are though but yeah glad it's not JAV. Always sad to see the pretty ones die :/

Uh pretty sure you open the thing up and put the Vita inside of the case (as you ca see the Vita is inside the case). The cut out part on the outside is to just protect the Vita I'd guess.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

probably a case for people who use the touchscreen more for movies or music...and if they want to play games or use the joysticks they open it up.

Assuming you mean internally developed titles (from Sony's own studios), I suppose that would be Tearaway, announced back at Gamescom last year. (For SCEJ, I think it would be Box! Open Me.)

Isn't that for the rear touchpad? It looks like it has the opening above it for the camera.

Hide your screen from everybody else! Genius indeed.

Yep, it is a case you would leave your vita in while you played, thus the back is cut out.

Toto, I think that part is for the backtouch. If you notice it has a hole at the top, which matches up with the camera. So its probably so you can play while its still in the case.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

The creative freedom Sony gives to its develipers is a blessing and a curse. I don't think they are mandating studios work on Vita titles unless they want to, but with the PS4 coming soon that is where most of the devs want to work. I do think Sony would greatly benefit from doing internal Game Jams like double fine does and set aside a couple of weeks of work for everyone that allows people a chance to realize their game and if something good comes out of that a small team could finish that product eventually.

so only the touchpad is open in that weird flip case,so lets protect the front and leave the back open for scratches?what were they thinking when they designed this case?

Shu Yoshida need to go,it's as simple as this.

I assume it's so you can play your Vita while keeping the case on, in case you're playing one of the handful of games that absolutely need the touchpad.

The rear touchpad really scews up a lot of cases, haha.

It's not the first case that left the rear touchpad open. It's probably for convenience.

Do you think Nintendo goes around asking their studios which platforms they'd like to make games on? I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but it's amazing how Sony ignored what worked and what didn't on PSP. The best selling games on that platform were original Grand Theft Auto, Monster Hunter, Gran Turimo, Final Fantasy, God of War, and Metal Gear Solid releases. None of those franchises have a new entry announced for Vita more than a year after launch. Amazing.

Nintendo know where to put their games and when.

Yoshida put another God of War on PS3,when PS3 don't really need it and ignored both Vita and PS4(imagine of SSM worked on Vita God of War instead even if by SSM B-team) ...rumors hints on another Gran Turismo for PS3 too (this late in the gen)the LBP Karting wasn't on Vita for no reason, and Shu take a game that still selling like Minna no Golf and port it to PS3..smart move there Yoshida-sama.

and away from Yoshida,they wasted money on moneyhatting exclusives COD and AssCreed Z-rated spin offs instead of getting a new FF or MGS (12 million will get them something)or anything that was important on PSP.

SCE is a mess.

This is true. Nintendo puts it's best studios on both console and handheld. Sony relegates its "lesser" developers to Vita most of the time, and they hardly even have anymore developers that work on handhelds anymore with closing BigBig, Zipper, and Liverpool. It's one of my most hated things about Sony's handling of the Vita.

[Sol1dus]

Today I saw footage of P3 FES for the first time and I gotta say, after putting 20hrs on the PSP version I really wish it was kinda like FES. The little dialogue things (cutscenes?) in FES are pretty cool because there's actual character models and you can see what's going on. My favorite part about the game is everything that doesn't take place in Tartarus so I can see why Toto would say P3P isn't that great. Pointing and clicking is (very)convenient but seeing your characters interact in 3D is much more appealing to me. I've been meaning to get back into the game, I enjoyed what I played of the story & the music is super catchy. But, I want FES on vita now.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

But I hear people want new IPs. :\

Yeah. :/ People only say they want new IPs when established IPs get released on Vita (or even 3DS or Wii U at this point). 'Vita has no gaems' *established franchise gets Vita entry* 'It needs original IPs'.

Then of course, when it gets original IPs, the response is 'but that's not a system seller'. Can't win, lol.
(this isn't even a GAF thing, I see this everywhere and even irl)


People would totally lap up a new GTA or Metal Gear on Vita, just like they did on PSP.

 

[Sol1dus]

I would say Sony's saving everything for E3 but E3 will be PS4 everything. I'm actually in a pessimistic mindset about the Vita but since Terraria is coming I'm not giving 2 damns about it right now. However, maybe Sony IS saving a couple of surprises for us this summer. You know how they did the head jerk with the PS4, maybe they have a few things up their sleeve for Vita?


I really wished the Android Store worked on Vita. I wouldn't mind playing for of the FPS on there on the Vita. :x

Its amazing indeed..It just fathoms me. Sony moneyhatted COD and AC, both of which were garbage on the PSP instead of spending that same money on an exclusive vita GTA or MH. If only SCE would wake up. At this point, I don't think the vita would get any exclusive entry of those games anymore. I hope I'm wrong though cos I yearn for a GTA game on the vita with at least Wipeout 2048 or NF: MW graphics.

There's only been three new IPs on Vita worthy of anything; Gravity Rush, Soul Sacrifice, and Tearaway. Gravity Rush was never going to be a huge hit or something, Soul Sacrifice is derivative and being sent to die in the west, and I'm not even sure what kind of game Tearaway is yet.

Sony relegates its "lesser" developers to Vita most of the time, and they hardly even have anymore developers that work on handhelds anymore with closing BigBig, Zipper, and Liverpool. It's one of my most hated things about Sony's handling of the Vita.

This is what pissed me off when IGN had an interview with Yoshida. They asked him what happened to the studios they shut down, and he gave the response that the money spent there didn't necessarily disappear, but rather got spread out to different studios. IGN never followed up on the fact that Sony's shutting down studios that made Vita games. Naughty Dog getting a second team because Sony shut down BigBig does a Vita owner no good when Naughty Dog will never make a Vita game.

Its amazing indeed..It just fathoms me. Sony moneyhatted COD and AC, both of which were garbage on the PSP instead of spending that same money on an exclusive vita GTA or MH.

I hope I'm wrong though cos I yearn for a GTA game on the vita with at least Wipeout 2048 or NF: MW graphics.

It really makes you wonder why Sony even released Vita if they weren't willing to secure the software to make it a success.

Yoshida put another God of War on PS3,when PS3 don't really need it and ignored both Vita and PS4(imagine of SSM worked on Vita God of War instead even if by SSM B-team) ...rumors hints on another Gran Turismo for PS3 too (this late in the gen)the LBP Karting wasn't on Vita for no reason, and Shu take a game that still selling like Minna no Golf and port it to PS3..smart move there Yoshida-sama.

This is really the kicker isn't it? God of War: Ascension got criticized for being more of the same, but if it was on Vita I imagine many of those complaints wouldn't have occurred. There are few games like God of War on a handheld, and even fewer that would look as good as GoW on Vita.

If Gran Turismo 6 is announced for PS3 this year ... I just can't. It's a really stupid decision. Even announcing a PS4 entry would be bad for Vita. Had a GT for Vita already been announced it would've been the best looking, and playing mobile racer. It wouldn't have been playing second fiddle to a PS3 or PS4 game either.

P3P is not just streamlined but a butchered port,removed 3D town explorations,add point and click crap,new intro is cheap,removed all of the animated cutscenes,the horrible new top-down camera,no variety what so ever in the dungeons..ect

i can't say i disagree that those are irritating exclusions, BUT i am still having a great time with it. i don't mind the absence of walking around the town that much, since it actually streamlines that part of the game, but the lack of animated cutscenes is lame.

How is Terraria on consoles anyway. I got it on PC years ago (played like 12 hours then stopped) but can't imagine playing without mouse..with you playing it on PS3 do you think it will work better or worse on Vita?
