Sounds great, any review mentioned the length? Oh and is that mini game collection out? Actually interested in trying these.

I don't know for sure if any reviews mentioned length. They may have. The mini game collection thing is out tonight in NA. Not sure about other regions.
 
Reminds me of the gif I did for the kaz thread

On a more vita related more I can quite easily see them releasing bigger memory cards at e3

I don't know if this tweet from Robert Boyd (Lead designer, programmer, and writer at Zeboyd Games, makers of the RPGs, Breath of Death VII, Cthulhu Saves the World, and Penny Arcade's Rain-Slick 3.) makes me happy or sad



hopefully sales pick up and he would be willing to put their games on the vita, as I would like to actually play their games on the go on the vita :/

We should put pressure on him to release some RPG games. I only know the Penny Arcade game from the list but it was pretty good. Oddworld game proves that as long as your game is good it is going to sell.

Any rumors of larger memory cards being released going around?
Contemplating if I should buy a 16 gb memory card for PSP and PsOne games as an addition to my 32 gb card.

Or best to wait and see if they will lower prices and offer 64/128 gb cards?

If I were a betting man, I'd say Sony will put out bigger memory cards by 2014. I recently upgraded from my 16GB to a 32GB I bought off Newegg for 80 bucks, I think it's money well spent.

*still waiting for lol o'clock*

i've been doing my job... I message him on twitter from time to time telling him to put his games on the vita lol.

but in general his games are fun short rpgs. the first two take 2-4 hours to beat, and you get to level 40 or so before finishing them (if i recall right... I think the level cap is 50) they are short and quick paced, and he doesn't charge much for them. breath of death and cthulthu saves the world sell for $3 for both of them on steam (that's the full price not a steam sale) lol.

As for the oddworld game proving you can sell, well that was an actual psn release. their games would likely be released as a mini or ps mobile, which most people don't even look at.
 
yea i can see them releasing bigger cards this year - price on the other hand i can't forsee.

the demand for bigger cards is there... and its impeding people from buying games.

the smaller the card you have the more of a chance you think twice about buying a game or not.

Alright, going to give my Vita quality time for the first time today in 3-4 weeks (other than the Alundra sessions). I should check out NGS.

it seems that the ys 4 preorder is up on amazon
and that it will likely release on sept 24th.

That looks great. Do I have to have played 1-3 to get it?

Lost my vita charger :(. Can I get by just buying the USB cable and charging through my PS3 for now? Or do I need the AC adapter to charge it?


I'm using the Vita cable with my iPhone charger and it seems to charging fine. But I'm no electrician so it may explode any second now.

Funnily enough I saw loads of internet complaints that their Vita doesn't charge with the iPhone charger but mine works fine. Go figure.


Sweet! Will Australia get the same sale then? We are usually a mirror of the EU store aren't we?

That's messed up. First Sony game that's being releases on both platforms to not have Cross-Buy ever since the program started. I'd love to hear their reasoning on that. Where did you hear that, BTW?

Anyone still having the graphical settings for NGS that were thrown around?

Hmm I didn't know that. I don't look at the PSM section indeed. I don't see the point of those games.

I'd consider a well made RPG for $5 even it is short though. Vita is disappointing RPG-wise and I don't know why (disappointing would be an understatement actually. Of course I am talking about western style RPG's, I've never played a JRPG in my life, the genre isn't my cup of tea.

Was thinking of making a new thread, but I think I could get some good advice here too.

I'm going to buy a Vita case very soon off Amazon, and am conflicted on which one to get. Amazon Japan has these very nice leather Vita cases, and while the black one looks nicer, it's 1000 yen more than the white one. Here they are below (I hope Amazon doesn't mind linking their images).


Vita leather case white: 2,203 yen (23.49USD)

Vita leather case black: 3,272 yen (34.88USD)

Thoughts? Or is there another case people recommend?

It's funny that you post that picture of the white vita case, because I just got email confirmation that my case was delivered today from Japan.

When did you have to purchase it to be eligible?
Sony sent an email to a few people which allowed them to register on a site that gave them a referral code. Others can use that person's referral code to register their Vita's serial numbers, and both of them will get a $20 gift card. You don't need to buy anything if you already have a Vita. PM me if you want a referral code. No guarantees that it'll work though.
 
Does disc benefits work with Sly 4 yet? I tried a few hours ago and nothing. ;_;

You ALWAYS have a good excuse. Man. There is no use in arguing with you :p
Get well soon, though. I hope you had a break in between your excuses at least.

Thinking I don't have good excuses! Thanks though, I gotta wait a few days before the results come in.
