Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | July 2013 | Slow Month, Fast Games

So I hear Vitas selling out again in Japan with the Toukiden bundle? Can anyone confirm this?

I just want vita to succeed so bad.

TOPR: get velocity ultra today if in the US
(Or hotline Miami)
 
Uh yeah that code sounds like it is a full version of the game for some reason

It's really weird, the slip of paper reads "Online Pass Activation Code"

I just wanted to make sure as I was pretty drunk yesterday and assumed that booze brain had played a trick on me.

Also USA, I thought all the US bundles generally had game cards and not voucher codes
 
Okay, fuck those touchscreen fights in Dynasty Warriors Next. Everything about this game is great except these fights. They ruin the pace of the game and if the enemy hits you they can always follow up with another attack before your slow ass character has the time to recover.

Hopefully Warriors Orochi on Vita does away with this shit.

Christ I hated those. Would run in full muso and instead of seeing my handiwork of killing thousands of dumb farmers I get a 1 on 1 with some general fighting on what I assume is the chinese rock paper scissors rule set.

In the last four months those were the sole reason I stopped playing for weeks on end. And I get what to do, it's not hard. It's just completely pointless and takes way too long for it's own good.

Now ... tell me about this Warriors Orochi? ... Is it West bound?
 
I actually found them nifty, mainly because it's the closest thing to (an albeit poor) Infinity Blade rip-off we've got for the Vita.
But Infinity Blade sucks! And when I'm Dynasty Warrioring I don't wanna be doing any Infinity Blading!

I just wanna mash square and triangle repeatedly, not get my touch screen all dirty, haha.

I keep doing the same. It completely ruins the pace of the game. I want to keep playing because everything else is so fun, but seriously fuck this shit.

And Warriors Orochi 3 (2 in Japan?) is Warriors Orochi 3 + all the Wii U Hyper version content + all the PSP version content on Vita. No idea if it's coming to the West, though. The Wii U version did, but the PSP version didn't. Tecmo Koei have been localising their other games recently, though, so hopefully.

Go in the PSN store and check Unit 13, see if it has the red bag "bought" icon. If it does then i guess you got a copy for free for some bizarre reason.
 
10 hours in and i'm getting the "flow" of persona 4 1 - school, work, clubs, friends, go into tv, goho-m, repeat.... pretty awesome.

Galactic Punt is one of the best moves in video game history. I need a high quality gif of the whole thing.

Its a weird flow but once you settle in its actually really cool. There is so much stuff to do in the game.

edit:

Mortal Kombat on VITA is 5 bucks for this week on US PSN. I was wondering if it is worth for me since i already finished the story on PS3. I would purchase it gladly if the Online Community is still alive.

Its definitely worth the $5.

If you want to play it 1p, then sure. $5 is cheap.

If you wanted a fighter to play online, please, please go with SFxT or UMvC3. Insanely better games and fantastic ports as well.

These games were ported so well to the Vita. I'm having a blast with SFxT and plan on getting UMvC3 soon. Then I'll have every fighter on the Vita except DOA5 ha.

Ugh I hope they do. Can't really explain why, but never has a Musou game felt so right than playing it on Vita. And that's not even taking into account the playtime you get when doing loo runs.

I should be glad the Vita is not waterproof or I'd die playing in the bath.

Hope the Vita redesign gets some Xperia Z love.

I'm probably not bothered by it as much I as play NEXT in short doses, so I find the odd minigame here and there a positive change of pace (which you don't like :P). I do understand why you guys are bothered by the inclusion of them though.

I'm glad I didn't but the Jax Trilogy

Didin't know it was free if I had the PS3 versions. Got to love PSN sales.

Downloading them now. Framerate problem or not it's not costing me a thing.

yep,vita is selling fine in japan.vita has alot of good titles coming out in japan
 
how do you claim the Vita versions?

I went to the store to download the GT6 demo and one of the panels showed Jax and Daxter PS3|PSVita so i selected it and it was available to download. So i booted up my vita, went to the store and it said free next to the price.

I don't think you could claim them if you have the physical version.
 
The official site has Munch's Oddysey Vita version due for release "Q2 2013" in Europe and Australia. Has there been any new news on the game yet? Seems to have gone very quiet on the Oddworld front...
 
Does anyone have the patch notes for Silent Hill: Book of Memories?

I'm considering it, but only if they ironed out the bugs.
Bugs?
Shbom doesn't have bugs, it has gameplay decisions that few people liked(like me).
The biggest changes are:
-when you die you don't lose your progress, it means immediate respawn and no long dungeon reloading too, but now you lose all your items where you died(like souls in demon's souls) and you need to retrieve them(but only some, for example no matter how many medikit you had you retrieve no more than 2), luckily this doesn't make the game easier, i think that now is even more difficult sometimes!
-noobs hated poison traps, so now they are less powerful... Stupid noobs, using those traps against the enemies is one of the best thing of the game, luckily they are not too much underpowered.
-dlc support

Wow a 2d pinball! Reminds me of pinball fantasies, but without the charisma of the stones & bones table and the awesome musics :\

VitaGAF,

If we all team up and tweet Shahid for a Castle Crashers Vita port, do you think he could make it happen? I think we should have that for Vita since it would be yet another great game that would play great on the system.
We could, but is it really necessary?
I don't want old ports, it's good, but not THAT good.
Why don't you ask for a sequel instead?

I liked those fights except at the end where they become relatively long, to be honest they are the only real challenge in a very easy(but awesome, long and content packed) game lol, one of those fights for mission never bothered me too much.

I'm talking in general, i think that people is becoming too fussy, reading of some good games treated like bad games because of little mistakes(or should i say choices they don't like?) is starting to annoy me.

Good! :D

there are dozens of better, more interesting games to tweet shahid about
 
Pinball Heroes and Velocity Ultra both have demos. Nice. I'm interested in both of them. They're downloading now. Plus they seem to be the full game so if I buy them I don't have to download a separate file.

The PS Store has updated already?
 
It is coming, along with the wotl DLC and a new one, under the name Binding Of Isaac Rebirth

The question is, when?
probably 2014

I will definitely rebuy on the Vita then. These games feel better with the Vita controls than a mouse and keyboard and their short enough to work really well on the Vita.
 
In your opinion.

And here comes the preparing to download... please wait. crashing. >_<
Damn it, Sony. Fix this shit.
I've tested this for a while, and I think it has to do with the Vita's connection to Wi Fi at the time of download.

Every time I get a situation where my Vita crashes, the Wi Fi hangs for at least a second. Try getting closer to whatever you're getting your signal from. Might be anecdotal evidence, but it's worth a try.

See I always thought it was that the PS store just freezes to piss me off. It constantly happens to me and it was a bloody nightmare to get a lot of my PS1 and PSP games onto my Vita memory card because downloads would constantly freeze.
 
Gamers know Aussies have it pretty tough I think. Seen those ridiculous prices. Something about higher minimum wage and all but yeah, it still seems super steep. Probably trying to discourage video games with high taxes.
On the brightside though Vita games are some of the few that are actually priced reasonably here. The vast majority of 3DS games here have a RRP of around $69.99 whereas the Vita has different price tiers with that being the highest.
Pre-order money laundering scammers probably...but yes, hopefully :)
Wouldn't be the first time EB have done that here, they get placeholder dates and (higher than RRP usually) placeholder prices on games the second they're announced.

But yeah, fingers crossed it's another sign of it getting a localisation.
 

Even Sony's porting their PSP games to Vita. SMH

The future of the Vita, as of now, is indies from the west, imports from Japan, and the occasional "big" title from Sony and the super, super occasional "big" title from third party - like Batman.

It's a good thing you put quotes, because a total 3DS/Vita spinoff isn't what I'd call big.
 
Hope you're all going to grab Velocity Ultra! :)

well not when the mini is the superior version with two huge advantages.

- Velocity Minis has a better artstyle (way way better) than Ultra which was all over the place.
- Velocity Minis Can run on your PS3 on your big super beautiful Kuro HDTV, your PSP and your PSVita, Ultra is locked to Vita so less options for you.

Thats good to know, I didn't really look into the game so the more info the better.

I swear to god not 5 months ago when Velocity Ultra was announced you were tersely glad about it 'finally getting a proper release on something besides that shitty minis platform' or something like that.

*narrows eyes* I'm on to you Toto, I know your game.
