Anyone heard anything new about the 2000 model? I don't want to get involved in the LCD vs oled that devours every other mention of the new model. I would hope some of those colors reach US soil.

So doesn't deserve a top of page, but since here:

I love HSG, Killzone, and sadly struggling to get through P4G.

 

[CoachKevin]

With the console being released in 48 hours in Japan, I figured I would post some detailed pics and hands on videos. i should have my units a week from today to do some more video and hands on/unboxing, etc.

Why do I feel like they're gonna make the Crash and Spyro games compatible come this week's store update?

Oh and based off ESRB.org, Mr. Driller is apparently coming to US PSN this week and will be Vita compatible. Also...Crash Bandicoot 1 and 2 are listed for a 'Playstation Certified Device' on ESRB as well...

I hope so.

I'm for sure getting Injustice next month. I'm also curious about Malicious Rebirth. I've been wanting it for a long while. I just am unsure of the pricing for it.

 

[AmanoBuff]

Give me a good reason to buy it (other than unfeasibly large boobs) and tell me which version I should get and I'll think about it.

Well, you could get it simply because it is a great and gorgeous game that pays perfect homage to the brawlers of old.

EDIT: oh wait this is the vita thread, I guess you're recommending the vita version?

Every game available on other consoles that I can also play on the Vita, I play on my Vita. It is a far more convenient, intimate and isolating experience for me (that without mentioning the great d-pad and tight analog sticks of course).

But feel free to get it for any console you feel the most comfortable with. It is a great game.

 

[corrosivefrost]

About 1/3 way through on New Game+. Persona 4 is hands down the best game on the Vita. The only thing thing missing in my opinion is the Japanese voices.

It's a good game. But I wouldn't put it at the top of my Vita list. Especially not "hands down".

Unfeasibly large boobs? That sounds like a sale right there!
But seriously, it's the best brawler I've played since I don't even remember when... if you like brawlers like Castle Crashers, Golden Axe, Double Dragon, Streets of Rage, Final Fight, etc. it's like those -- but with a good amount of loot-based gameplay and a nice leveling system to keep you invested. I spent 85 hours getting my platinum and enjoyed at least 90% of it (I still loathe the Fighter).

I can't remember the last time that SCEA added a PSOne or PSP game to Vita -- probably Peace Walker... that's the last one I remember.
I'm not holding my breath on this one.

I couldn't resist the blue and white 2000. Ordered one last night, hopefully customs won't be to brutal !

I love how Vita is becoming a portable machine for fighting games, so far we have:

Blaz Blue Extend.
Marvel vs Capcom 3.
Dead or Alive 5 Plus.
Mortal Kombat 9.
PSABR.
Guilty Gear (sadly only in America)
Street Fighter X Tekken.
The fighting game from Shonen Jump.

And now we are getting Injustice: Gods Among Us. Now I want Blaz Blue Chrono Phantasma.

I never have played so much this genre like now and sometimes saddens me that I won't be able to master any of them, since I am splitted already among the three fighting games I own (BB Extend, DoA 5 Plus and Sf X Tekken.).

yep just need Tekken now. And I don't mean Tekken Revolution..Tekken Tag 2 or a Tekken DR like game with new characters
I know we had a rumor about it a while back..hope it's true.

Here's a relatively long look at Worms Revolution Extreme

Pleased with all the features and play modes, but not pleased with the looks... I'd watched a quick Let's Play of the PC/console version, and was looking forward to that. It would have been preferable for them to nix the 3D backgrounds, in order to upres the ground textures and better the framerate.

Can't wait for Injustice, myself. Don't forget Yatagarasu/Legend of Raven.

Vita has made me enjoy and bother to try and learn fighting games again for the first time since Dreamcast. SF x Tekken is so boss. I'd say it's the best looking game on Vita next to Killzone. I can't believe that we get full-featured, current gen fighting games with really high parity on a handheld and the dpad is the shit. It really blows my mind sometimes when I'm just chilling playing for awhile, with cross-platform network play. It's not like finally getting a portable that can play 10-15 year old 90's fighters, or needs it's own unique game in order to be decent. I really wish Marvel & SFxT had sold more, one because they had full character rosters out of the box, and two so we could get Ultra Street Fighter IV.

can someone told me about Tokyo New World Record: Operation Abyss

here's some artwork, never heard about this before. who make it etc, I assume it's dungeon crawler game from the screens, chances of localization? I like the art

This looks great. I want.

I don't recommend playing NG+ right away. Beating P4G the first time took a lot of time and was a pretty long journey. As you mentioned, you're ready for the story to be over so you understand what I mean.

It is worth playing if you enjoyed the story. After I beat it the first time, I didn't touch the game for about 3-4 months. I forgot most of the details in the story and I'm enjoying NG+ quite a bit.

I recommend you wait a few months before starting NG+.

It's a good game. But I wouldn't put it at the top of my Vita list. Especially not "hands down".

Yep, everyone has their favourite game and P4G is mine. However, by the looks of things, Luftrausers will be a strong contender to be one of my favourites... whenever it gets released hehe.

Currently, KZM comes at a close second but there are several problems with it. I'm disappointed in the small player count in multiplayer matches. I was surprised that the max number of players was only 8. At times maps can get fairly empty. The second issue I had was the lack of weapon customization. While the overall character customization was good, I wish there were more options to tailor your favourite weapons to your liking. Lastly, I don't find collecting Valor Cards all that addicting. I hope they introduce a different progression system for the next Vita game.

First post in a page must (should) have recommendations. And there are quite some people from EU VitaGAF buying it, so you'll have some co-op fun.

It's the kind of game that you could be playing for lots of hours if it clics on you, just depends if you think you can like the game or not.

On the other hand, I think PS3 version has local co-op.

That new Destiny of Spirits trailer is great. Increasing my interest... really looking forward to it. Q? games killed it with Lumines: Electronic Symphony, I like collecting/battle rpgs, and the art/theme kinda reminds me of Ogre Battle tarot cards.

November is awesome. Tearaway, Injustice & Ys: Memories of Celceta. That $10 I get back from pre-ordering Batman will come in handy.

Mortal Kombat and UMvC sold really well in the US. MK is the 3rd best-selling third-party game IIRC and UMvC is over 100k too

After some research, it sounds like you can have 2 vitas on one account, assuming you don't have any other PSPs activated and you can't both be online at the same time

this could be perfect for us. feel dumb for having purchased PSN games on his account, but that's minimal

Maybe late to the party but was there any doubt's to this? It's two consoles and two portables.

I've two vitas and two ps3 activated.

 

[AmanoBuff]

No

I knew it.

Well, I also want to play the PSP ones first, so I'm waiting for a sale or something to get them. Although if Tearaway wasn't coming out next month, I think I'll get both Seven and Felgana at full price since I heard they are great.

I haven't played it, but from what I've heard, the story revolves around Superman killing Joker, and just generally being a dick, and Batman being pissed off at him- which is why they're fighting.

Sounds like you were in an half empty room (which could be problem with any player count really), it can get quite then indeed. But if you play more, learn the maps a bit better and put on some headphones you know where the action is. I was afraid the player count was gonna kill my fun before I played the game, turns out Guerilla tailored the maps perfectly to the player count. Once you learn how to optimize your playstyle and make use of the sprint button/slide things can get pretty hectic..

Been looking at sales charts and large merchant sites such as Amazon and Gamestop and it seems Killzone Mercenary is a Bomba. Multiplayer seems to healthy enough, but I doubt the game is getting the sort of numbers Sony wanted. Of course there is also the digital sales, but the Mercenary doesn't appear to be doing all that well on the retail side of things.

When given a major marketing campaign Killzone console games put up mediocre numbers. A handheld spinoff that was sent to die isn't going to do better.

The only reason I actually care about this is because it hopefully means that NRS will continue to support the VIta when they make a game that isn't Injustice.

Nether Realm not doing the Injustice Vita port would make it seem they're not interested in including that platform in their pipeline for future games.

 

[Gamerloid]

So, the Vita Screenshot thread hasn't had a post in four months. There's been plenty of games out since then. I want to remind the old Vitabros and also the newer Vitabros that may not have even known we have the thread that we do have a thread filled with screenshots of Vita games. It would be great if it could pick up a little, as it's a great resource for people wanting to know what a game looks like. Go ahead in there, post some of your favorite screenshots you've taken on your Vita, and we'll get it going again.

Playstation Vita Screenshots | OS Level Captures

But Warner Bros. is publishing the Vita version, and they own NetherRealm. It's not as if Sony is publishing it and hired Armature to do the port.

Plus this is a simultaneous release for the Ultimate Edition on all platforms, with no delay for the Vita version with a bunch of Vita-specific content and modes. Depending on the project and the studio, there's nothing wrong with divvying up a workload for a timely release.

Probably won't help. Shahid works for SCEE, not SCEA, so the likelihood of him doing anything to help us, even if he wanted to, is probably small.

Nether Realm not doing the Injustice Vita port would make it seem they're not interested in including that platform in their pipeline for future games.

It shows that WB, at the very least, is interested in porting NRS games to additional platforms including VIta. We got MK9 Vita and PC, so hopefully, we'll get the next game closer to launch, if not at launch, providing someone actually buys Injustice. (I won't, sorry, guys... you have to do the heavy lifting for me on this one.)

Falcom is currently working on implementing the translation in the game. I think the current word is late November if everything proceeds on schedule.

Nether Realm not doing the Injustice Vita port would make it seem they're not interested in including that platform in their pipeline for future games.

They're not doing any of the new ports, which to me makes it seem more likely that they're simply focused on a new project. But hey, if you want to argue that they won't be publishing on PS4 or PC in the future too, be my guest.

Farming used to be so much worse when the game launched. They released a patch several months ago that made farming significantly easier- like, so much easier to get drops that it took like 1/4 of the time to farm. After that patch released, I got the platinum in like an hour.
