Yeah, because its like the club, you replay missions to get more cash and stuff it seems

I think they might be including the replayability in that hour per mission....hoping i'm wrong though.
can't wait. game looks great! will play other killzones this summer to prepare.
To be fair, missions aren't always replayable on their own.
They probably mean in a leaderboard type way, earning more points, stuff like that.

I think they meant it more as there are challenges in place that will reward multiple replays of missions. Maybe Leaderboards, collection, higher difficulty, etc.
You get ingame "cash" for completing missions and stuff. Replay lots of times to increase your "cash" and buy weapons

Well they mention that you earn money from missions like a mercenary so I get the impression there's like a upgrade system or something.
Guess we will find out soon

That's not replayability if they meant it like that. Anyone can play the same thing over and over again.

That's definitely the vibe I'm getting too. I'm not interested in handheld games that play into the notion that handheld gaming is vastly inferior to regular gaming.
Ooooh so it has Uncharted Golden Abyss-style gyro/stick aiming?

Cos 9 hours of sp content plus replay ability and seemingly fully featured mp is 'barebones'?
Jesus toto how are you not banned
Sorry if it's not the right place to ask this, but i found a used Vita with 4gb card and uncharted, for 150 euro.
Do you think it is a fair price? I'm worried that there will be a price drop in the coming months, and i don't know if this price is good for what is offered.
Thanks a lot.

Not sure about a price drop but that's a pretty good price

I don't usually snipe, but when I do I prefer gyro aim......stay thirsty.
It won't be a forced feature, lol.

I'm kind of shocked at all the hate I'm seeing regarding KZ: M's single player. Calm down people. You guys actually thought it would be canon, or not mission based? If the single player really is around like 6-8 hours realistically I think that's pretty good for a shooter, especially if the areas are as gorgeous as that unveil trailer was.
The online will be where it can really shine and as long as it's not ugly or broken 8 players with six maps and three modes to start will be enough for me, at least in the beginning. We have no idea how big the maps are either.

Ever try playing iOS games? So many say 'wifi multiplayer' when it's local multiplayer where you have to be connected to the same wifi connection, drives me nuts.

This.
We don't even have proper concrete info yet. Just wait the remaining 4.5 hours
Woah, no online ? Or Ad-hoc an added option.
There's no one else wirh a Vita 50 foot away.
How do nine (hour long) missions sound anything like Unit 13 or COD Declassified?
Reading posts of some of you is getting really tiresome. Always overreacting.
Jesus Christ, wait for more information.
sounds like gyro-assisted aiming is in (like uncharted ga). awesome!
9 hours is a lack of content?

i laughed.
looking forward. this will be a great game no doubt. looks way ahead of unit 13 or cod.
Games usually overshoot the amount of actual content
To be fair that's a lot of time in single player.
Who really bothers with campaign modes anyway these days. It's all about online with modern day shooters. A lot of people don't even bother with single player and jump straight in.
Unit 13 has 30-something missions that I'm pretty sure take more than that if you tie them all together. But the overall package feels extremely cheap since they're just bite sized missions with overall low production values. Now it can be a difficult game at times but there's not a whole lot there. When a shooter comes out in that design it plays into the notion that handheld games can't get the same kind of treatment and respect as the big console games.
And I still don't buy into this game being 9 hours. You really think each level of a FPS is going to last a whole hour? That's a long time for 1 level in a shooter.
Crossposting from the Killzone thread since I see there's a bit of confusion over here too:
Oh I also wanted to specify that "ad-hoc" is used very often in italian but it means "designed specifically for", so they're simply saying that the multiplayer was designed specifically for this Vita chapter. It does not imply the type of infrastructure for the online games!

And multiplayer, and replayability of those single player missions to obtain more, and potentially other things we don't even know about yet.
Game doesn't come out till September, let's pump the brakes on lack of content.
Fantastic! Speaking as someone who has over 1000 headshots in Golden Abyss, I LOVE gyro aim. So good.

Yes, beat Murai in NGS+ with no potions. Feels good man.

ahh!! weight off my back
thanks for clearing that upagreed! but i am a little hesitant due to the fact that its a FPS. not sure how well those will work together. do cod or unit13 use it?
Who says you have to do utilize that mid-transport?

If the focus of the missions is to achieve high scores and not just complete them, you're completely wrong about this.
For The Club or anything where it's a "how fast can you do this while scoring high" the whole point of the game is to replay the missions over and over and over and over until you get better at them and beat all your competition.
Like Geometry Wars but with a FPS.
Exactly, Unit 13's missions are varying from like 2-30 minutes. If the missions in KZ:M are really about 60 minutes for an average gamer, that's not bad at all.

That's a failure on Apple's part. In Sony's case ad-hoc is local, infrastructure is online. Unless something's changed from the PSP->PSP2 transition.
Depends what's in it. Depends what they class as a mission. A mission could have multiple parts to it.
I ignored the first part because it's stupid.
No one. I cracked a joke. But yeah you can just switch off your vita on the bus.
Ah, just figured it was negativity.
But guys, how about we at least wait until the actual English info comes out before we form opinions?
