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

Well you never know - Vlambeer do have Luftrausers coming to Vita so you might see SCB on Vita.

I don't much understand the difference though - I saw some of you guys complaining about Tokyo Jungle coming on PSM rather than on Vita. Won't it just be the same game?

Unlikely.
Even so, as a PSM game, the likelihood of cross-buy/cross-save isn't there and that's something that should absolutely be a part of Tokyo Jungle on the Vita.

I understand the latter - but isn't the former a bit presumptuous? Do we have any details for it yet?

Also, as an aside which is what I suppose you're all wondering, why port to PSM and not to the Vita store? Are there cost differences involved?

No its going to be a different game. Shane Bettenhausen said from the screens he saw it looked like Final Fantasy Tactics with Pomerainians. Im excited for it, and if it does well on Vita I could them considering the proper game.
 
Speaking of Vlambeer... where the hell is my Luftrausers!?

I'm confused what stage of development it's at. I've heard them say it was done and in going to cert, then after they were talking about still working on it (maybe it didn't pass cert?) I just want it so bad, man. :(

Soon for sure - they showed off the (near?) final build at Rezzed in the UK a couple of weekends ago when they were talking about their studio.

It's coming and it looks awesome.

Ah ok - I thought by "different" you guys meant somehow compromised rather than an entirely different game.

Wait, it is becoming an SRPG? Lol. May be intersting. We'll see.
 
Kung fu rabbit is a nice surprise, tight controls, nice graphics. Feels a lot like Super meat boy and League of evil, sure would be nice have them on vita too.

Also bought first Rayman, still on sale on psn. Looks really great in oled screen.
 
I got Unit 13 via PS+ (I have retail Ninja Gaiden) and bought Kung Fu Rabbit, Pinball Heroes Complete and Total Recoil, 2Go to download, I hope it will be good :-)

Day one purchase.

First I've heard of this. Do we know at this point if it's getting a localization? I loved Tokyo Jungle, the idea of a turn based strategy spinoff sounds pretty cool.
 
Virtue's Last Reward is so slow. It took me like 4-6 hours to get to a story lock and now I have to go through so many endings just to unlock that locks two locks to get to the ending I was going for. Yay.
 
Well deserved. Especially considering the stiff competition from both Killzone on Vita and a buttload of good 3DS titles.

A lot of the impressions of Tearaway seem to be really positive, with it being described as playing like a 'good old Nintendo game'. It'll definitely be interesting to see how well it does.

We all need to buy it to encourage more AAA games!
 
RIP Warrior's Lair.

Thanks for nothing, SCEA. now what will be next move from SCEA to show that they don't care about Vita? putting Bend on PS4?

I still can't get out of the first room/elevator. spoilers -->
I put the memory card in the slot and the screen turned on but it's blank... can't find anything else to interact with except the 3 panals of numbers that light up... but i theres no hints of what numbers it should be. same with the locked chest.

To solve that part of the room I
actually just randomly mashed all the buttons on the elevator's keypad. There is obviously a way to solve it properly, but it's been so long I forgot what it was.

EDIT: I just realised I was thinking about the completely wrong part of the puzzle. LOL

What colour memory card have you obtained?

The numbers do have a pretty obvious clue in the form of a poster on the wall.

Remember, if you get stuck on a puzzle, you can always put the difficulty slider down to Easy and get numerous hints.

THERE'S A POSTER ON THE WALL?!!?! how have I missed that?!
 
Aw guys, we made a friend! ;) Comment on Farming Sim video

Vita owners have to be the biggest losers I've ever seen in Neogaf.

BWauahaha. Hi, whoever you are.

Really disappointed Warrior's Lair was canned. Was really looking forward to that, but i guess i knew by now that it was never coming
 
Unit13 is in french, where can I change that?

Edit: Weird... system language was english(US) and the game was in french. Change system alnguage to english(uk) and now the games is in english.
 
Some possible good news coming sometime in the future. I tweeted Focus Interactive about getting Magrunner on Vita, and their response was:

"we dont have info concerning a vita version, but we will inform you if we have some"

So no confirmation, but no outright denial either, which with most of the indie studios I have talked to, the ones that wont do a port (atleast yet) just say no, and might say why.

Id love to get the game on Vita so I hope they consider it, if they are not already doing it.

Trailer for the game for anyone who not familiar with it.

The analogue stick covers really add grip and are low profile. Mine just came today, there's one with circular ridges and one with little spikes. Both are great. Bit of effort putting them on but you instantly feel the difference. Not sure about the rest but I'm pretty sure it's same pack being sold everywhere, like the nyko grip (without the battery).

I have the ones with the ridges on my Vita -- I just wish they had a more tactile rubberized feel. I loved the feel (not necessarily the curve) of the normal sticks, I just like the added height and am less concerned about that rubberized grip portion wearing down now.

I've been tempted to try the concave ones again, but I haven't bothered as of yet.
 
Played Velocity Ultra for about 15 minutes last night, and then my "only 15 minutes" of Farming Simulator turned into THREE FREAKIN' HOURS! I did not see that coming... :o

I have a couple cross-country flights coming up, that I am now looking forward to! :P
 
Im really excited for Dead Nation on Vita, they updated Stardust in a fantastic way for the Vita, So I cant wait to see what they do for Dead Nation on it.

Yup, im also one of those few that are actually excited for dead nation as well

I am on the fence about Dead Nation's port to Vita. I really enjoyed it on PS3...and I love me some twin stick shooters. I guess I'd bite, since I didn't pay for DN on PS3 in the first place :D

Super Stardust...man oh man that game will always be on my Vita. It was my first PSN game I bought for PS3 also. First Vita game to get 100%, though no plat. I never could get used to SSD's new control scheme. But at least I'm still #1 among all my friend leaderboards! To heck with getting worldwide #1, ain't nobody got time for dat..

Lol, it's probably not worth the stretching :P Wait until it's nasty and dirty or something...mine seemed to pick up the crumbs very quickly already!

So cheap and good though. Vita's sticks felt nice but they are so smooth I have barely any grip over the centre for slight adjustments...these feel alright to me tbh. Not Vita nice though, no. Worth it for the grip of course and yep, added protection.


Total Recoil, is it a great game?

What's up with the lack of screenshots with the new stuff. Love the indie section though, nice. Stands out being the only colourful icon too.
 
If I buy a second-hand Vita is there anything that has to be done to unregister the Vita from its original owner's account or anything?

What brand are your thumbstick grips? I think I might buy some since I have to order some things off amazon this week anyway

Yeah I got Dead Nation from the PSN outage gifts. Its a fun game, hard as bullocks too. I think I'd get more milage out of it as a Vita game though..

Slowly is been like I want all of PS3's midscaled downloadable titles to be on Vita, And thats how it should be IMO. I think a greater majority of those games would play better as a handheld
 
They are unbranded analogue covers, just says fight button kit for ps vita lol. Comes with 2 d-pad covers also.

I've seen it all over ebay in the same set with the same designs but I got mine from analogue, I doubt there will be too many others.


Just traded for MotoGP13 for about £17 but got a digital copy, helmet cam looked too good:

Makes me wonder if it will be Cross-buy, I imagine not, because it would pretty much a free game for the majority of Vita owners.
 
Sorry if asked before but is Limbo Vita for free? I downloaded it last night for free btw.

Nah, you got it on PS3 PS+ earlier. It's crossbuy so you got it for free.

I was stumped when it happened, thought it was an accident. Costs quite a bit actually, bit too much.

Ok beat and with less assumption

Limbo was cross-buy. That's a non-Sony published game that was on PS+ in Europe.

If Jak Trilogy was cross-by in Europe, I'd at least expect Dead Nation to be the same in that region (lol sorry NA).
 
I'm playing through VLR atm actually.
I'm 10 hours in, but mainly because I want to HEAR the characters speak. English dub is growing on me =P I expect to 100% it within 20 more hours haha.
As is it's my LttP GotY 2012, but mainly because I loved 999~
 
absolutely...


plus the account is tied to the card. if you got a used memory card with the vita you could still do that.

Yes, it comes with a 4gb card (I know, way small, but it's OK -- I'll get a 64gb when they come out) as well. So the current owner will need to unregister the device with their account and also do something to let my account use the card as well? Sorry for the basic questions, thanks for the help.

well, no. it's in the current owners best interest to disassociate the device from his profile, but that isn't necessary for you. you would simply go to options, format the card, and set to "restore" the vita.

at that point you could link a new/existing account with the card and vita
 
The Tokyo Jungle that's coming isn't the same game as the PSN game. It's like a tactics game.



Also... people complain that PSM isn't getting high profile games and that it sucks as a service - but when it does people complain the games aren't vita specific. You can't have both, people!


Though Sony could solve this problem by implementing trophies and other things in the PSN API.

Ah, great. So just a polite reminder to him that he should remove the device from his profile but whether he does or not doesn't affect my ability to assign the device to my existing profile (and format the card so that it is assigned to me as well). Thanks a ton.
