Looks like talks are starting to bring Odallus to the Vita.
I'd buy the heck out of a new old-school Castlevania.
you can always get Castlevania Chronicles or Dracula X Chronicles : )

I'll pass
Indies are nice if they bring new conception to the table or restart an old and forgotten genre - not when they are 5 generations behind versions of normal games.
We already got Guacameele this year and there's also Batman coming later this year.
Fuck - the game case I ordered got posted to my old Uni address...
don't you have any friends there? tell them to pick it up for you.
if not, well, maybe someone will buy a Vita to fit with the free case he/she got.
Nah it was my landlord's house and he's a massive twat - probably the one responsible for no AAA games coming the console
I've emailed Game but knowing what they're like (because I work there) I'll get a "Sorry - you should have changed your address LOL"
Also - for what it's worth - that whole page "Indie Games on Vita ad" that was doing the rounds on GAF is slightly disingenuous because on the following page was a whole page ad for the Vita, Uncharted and Wipeout etc

Blasphemy. Killzone looks fantastic.
As you say, a good game is a good game. I think, and hope, Killzone knocks it out of the park.
Indies are also good for bringing back classic gameplay styles that may have been forgotten. There hasn't been a true Castlevania game since... I guess Dracula X Chronicles would be the last major one that wasn't a Metroidvania and had stages and a lack of RPG elements.
This definitely seems to have a SotN vibe though, even though they say that there's stages... so I don't know what to think in this case, but more games is NEVER a bad thing so long as the games are NOT shovelware.
Good choices.

Anyway, I was wondering if you guys have any good game recommendations for kids, specifically a 2 year old. My sons love playing with my Vita (I also have a 5 year old), but all he does is unlock the screen, start games and press the PS button to cancel them.I tried using Paint Park Plus on him to no avail. Imaginstruments keeps him for a little bit, though. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I didn't start gaming til I was 5, so I can't imagine what would be good for a 2 year old... but I cut my teeth on Super Mario Bros. when the NES came out.

Escape Plan was a decent game, but I can tell this "less than 20 deaths run" is going to give me an aneurysm. :\

my son who is 4 now (very recently) absolutely loves UMvC3 on simple controls. I tried buying him games like Rayman and he won't play them. He does play Mario and is into that, but not much else will keep his interest.
Lego City is better than the normal lego games. The platforming in them is terrible and beyond most young kids.

Get him a Leapfrog Leappad, it is a gaming handhelds/tablet hybrid designed for small kids.
Yeah, those things are pretty cool actually

Tried Velocity Ultra. I am going to get it. The game is pretty amazing, I guess I should eat a shoe or something for my failings in listening to Toto in the first place.
Thanks for all the positive comments on this little gem or I would have completely ignored it.

Every single post there is some peace and quiet here. Shahid will be trolled for our sins.
Esoteric, I trained the new Nova BNB with fly, and I think that I can do farly consistently, but Sentinel fly combos have a very strict timing, so I will stick with my main combo for now. The thing is mix up a little.
Welcome Park, surprisingly. The rear touchpad game and camera-face thing are fun for young children.That Shahid thread...

it will take some practice, but it's not bad (sentinel)
fly/unfly with nova is easy, depending on the combo. I really love the launcher, H, Fly, H, unfly, H, launcher combo. I know it can be done in the corner. not sure about mid screen.
his grabs are soooo good. I'm sick of the autoblock people on this game so i really want to have 2 or 3 people I can tack on a lot of damage from a grab

For me, this is a perfect compliment to something like Guacamelee. Their brand of NES-like graphics is pretty unique, too, with the whole "shades and tones that lend a specific feel" style. It's not one that's often translated well to HD or 3D either, so that's good to see.
It's interesting - is IndieGoGo a bit like Kickstarter?
It's an international alternative to Kickstarter (which only officially supports UK, US, CAN I believe).

Yes, but it allows for funding to projects that do not meet their goal.
I see - my question then is - could Sony potentially be looking at guys on Kickstarter/Indiegogo etc to offer them an alternative to crowdfunding?
I wish I knew how all these negotiations worked - but it seems odd to go after a game that is yet to reach a crowdfunding goal doesn't it?
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll get one and see how it goes!
I'll try this too!
@Esoteric, my older son enjoys SF X Tekken a lot. I'm probably gonna get Marvel if it goes on sale again; can I count on you and Shinriji to play against when I do? I'll likely just be apunching bag for you, though xD.
Also you've just had that Lego.. Legends of something come out - I don't know if it's any good but Lego has a pretty decent track record, also Lego Marvel should be out this year too!
It works midscreen, too, although I think the timing is a little tighter. You want to do the first H as soon as possible after the super jump.

I would love to see Sony take a million dollars or so, and invest in a bunch of small indie projects. Most of those kinds of deals are signed at GDC, IGF, or PAX though.
See this is why I wish we didn't have an "I HATE SHAHID" thread - he seems really open about the processes and thinking behind what he and his team are doing. I would LOVE to know what they think about Kickstarter etc - I asked him about Humble Bundles and he said they were "open to the idea."
"Beat the average to get PS VITA keys for these games!"
But I agree - Micosoft have invested heavily in first party software and exclusive for the One (as they should) but if Sony took that $1 million and invested in projects, kickstarters, or took a bunch of proven indies; Team Meat and the like, and said "here you go; go nuts!"
For me THAT attitude is a system seller - it would appeal very strongly to people who predominantly play on PC (like me) and spend a lot of time and money on indie games and love to see creativity in that field.
Well the "coming to Vita and PS4!" notice that developers can give, once they've solidified that their game will be accepted to those platforms, helps them reach, and often exceed their goals.
It seems to me, that this is all part of Sony's "ease of working with Indies" initiative. Once developers figure out how much it'll take to guarantee generating keys for KS backers, how hard it'll be to get the game running on the platform, if their game will be accepted onto the platform, etc, it makes the Vita / PS4 a solid way to reach a console audience.
And since many of these games are obviously console / arcade game inspired, they're probably quite happy to be given the chance.
It's a pretty solid way to build up a large cache of budding developers.

The naysayers in there aren't really worth the time and are a minority. I dig what they are doing with the indie stuff and hope they continue with it.
I know - but we had a guy who has happy to talk to us and honest about what was happening and now we don't, in part because of that thread.

It definitely sucks that this community is sometimes quick to shit on people with access but they generally don't have a voice in any meaningful way so they don't know how to behave when the opportunity arises. I'm sure he'll show up again once things tide over. Also, I'm sure any grief just made him more motivated to get some good indie stuff in the pipeline.

My daughter is three and these are some of the games she likes to play on Vita (still not very good) but she enjoys them so thats all that matters to me :
LittleBigPlanet
Sonic Racing
Rayman Origins
Passing Time
Paint Park pro
Sound Shapes
And the Music Mixer imaginstruments
and she seems excited for Tareaway, Proteus, and Death Ray Manta. She also likes the music elements of Cytus Lambda, and DJMax but she has a hard time.keeping up with the notes still.
She tends to like most games that either feature a girl, lots of colors, or has strong musical inspiration.
I have no problem with the idea of having indie games on the Vita, but most of them simply don't appeal to me. What I want more than anything on the Vita right now is a good loot-based RPG, and that hasn't happened yet (RIP Warrior's Lair). Any developer that makes something similar will instantly have my money, no matter if it's indie or AAA.
See that's a sentiment that I understand - much for the same reason I don't care for the more typical AAA games on the system.
Binding of Isaac (when it arrives) is in a similar vein but not quite what you're looking for... Diablo on remote play will be nice though!
I have Binding of Isaac on Steam, but it's just another example of an indie game I see the appeal of but don't enjoy myself. Maybe playing it with Vita dual-sticks instead of the keyboard might change my mind. :/
Yeah I think it would - I'm not a fan of the game using KB/M to be honest, but I love the game.

Wonderful. Start them young. A few friends of mine have old broken arcade sticks they set out when they play mahvel so their n00bs can sit next to them and hit the buttons like mommy/daddy does. It's adorable, and it starts them down the path!

use a controller. i put 29 hours into it on steam. i never got very far, but enjoyed every minute of it. when the vita version comes out i'll be all over that.
Best thing to do honestly is find those indie games that interest you, and direct them to Shahid. Its what I have been doing, and have gotten largely positivw results from the devs I have contacted.
So in your case, you should direct the Torchlight guys Shahids way as qn example of loot games.

I always found it ridiculously difficult, especially with the keyboard/mouse.
I'm interested in this remake, but for me a lot will hinge on the graphical style they choose. I know it's superficial, but I will not play a game that makes me feel like my eyes are bleeding and I'd rather go blind... so if they don't muck up the re-skin/redesign, I'm probably interested.

Dragon's Crown is the loot-based action rpg you're looking for.
Hey guys, do you remember that PSP sale we had like 2-3 weeks ago? In the first week, they mentioned there'd be new sales for PSP in the coming weeks, but we only got 2 weeks of sales, no? The first week we got the Gods of War, Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters, Killzone, Resistance and some other cool stuff. The second week we got Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Persona 3 Portable, Tales in the Sky etc. It's the third week now and I don't see anything new. Did the sale just end or are we getting more sales for PSP games?

Combat would be much different if he wants a Torchlight/Diablo-esque experience. Dragon's Crown looks to be more along the lines of the Mystara D&D games.
I'll have to look into that sometime.
Runic is one of those big indies, but I guess it's worth a try.
It's definitely a start. Enemy scaling is a bit of a turn-off though.
aaaaand that puts the final nail in dragon crown's coffin for me. Went from possible pre order to not even touching a gamefly que.
Thats true, but you still never know. It could also easily be a situation where many of these larger indie studios are already working on these games for Vita, and just have not been announced yet. Some of the bigger indie titles would take more time to bring over then the smaller stuff.
Im hoping Bastion comes considering super giant is already bringing transistor to PS4.

I can't make new threads, so I'll just leave this here - I just signed up for PSN and am having a ridiculously hard time registering my username (been on the phone with Sony once and on live-chat twice). I won't clog up this thread with the sordid details, but if anybody has experience with PSN, I'd appreciate the help.
