[QUOTE=plasticpassion;34901356]I can't decide if I should preorder Wipeout or just buy it on PSN. Yeah there's a discount, but once I load up my 8gb card with Valk Chronicles II, PS minis and all the other shit I got from PS+, I may quickly run out of room.[/QUOTE]

How is VC 2 ? I really liked VC 1 and was pretty mad that VC 2 went to PSP.



[QUOTE=zoner;34901403]Well supposedly games on your memory card take longer to load. And Wipeout already takes foreeeeever to load[/QUOTE]

Can you leave WipeOut "suspended" on Vita and turn it off ? Next time you resume play, it should be instant ?

[QUOTE=zoner;34901403]Well supposedly games on your memory card take longer to load. And Wipeout already takes foreeeeever to load[/QUOTE]

Confirmed or speculation? I guess I'll just get the physical copy. 10% off is only a few dollars especially considering ordering from amazon = no taxes.

[QUOTE=cyborg009;34901371]Netfllix, twitter I know japan have something similar to PS home I think? or maybe samurai and dragons will come overseas since it's a freemium game[/QUOTE]

I think the eventual goal is to have the PS Suite on here as well, so whatever shows up on there should be playable on Vita too.

[QUOTE=plasticpassion;34901443]Confirmed or speculation? I guess I'll just get the physical copy. 10% off is only a few dollars especially considering ordering from amazon = no taxes.[/QUOTE]

It is slower for sure, though the amount isn't huge. I saw a video where it took Uncharted another second to boot to the title screen running off the memory stick vs. the physical copy. Probably shouldn't effect your decision too much.

[QUOTE=Shalashaska161;34901449]I think the eventual goal is to have the PS Suite on here as well, so whatever shows up on there should be playable on Vita too.[/QUOTE]

Yes, PS Suite and probably those widgets/apps on Sony Entertainment Network.

Be mad no more. I believe it's 20 on the US PSN. I looked the other day and skimmed real fast without really reading everything though. Was on media go and have spent little time with that app so I need to get more familiar with the layout.

The load times on Wipeout or the memory card? Because I've seen the Wipeout load times for myself.

[QUOTE=zoner;34901481]The load times on Wipeout or the memory card? Because I've seen the Wipeout load times for myself.[/QUOTE]

Is the load time just for loading every race (and vehicles), or booting up the entire game and loading the race ?

[QUOTE=Kafel;34900172]All the protective armors posted here are awful.

Just get a pouch and take care of your Vita.[/QUOTE]

That's what I thought...and why I had to buy 2 replacement PSPs, until finally I wised up and bought a protective case (the Logitech one, which there doesn't seem to be a Vita version of yet, sadly).

I haven't played it but friends have said it's good, but VC1 is better. To be honest it's one of the biggest reasons I'm getting a Vita. I figure good games will come out eventually for it and I can finally play VCII.

VC1 is one of my favorite games of all times.

Loading the race. Starting up the game is actually pretty quick.

Story and characters in VC2 pal in comparison to VC but the gameplay is awesome. I love the hell out of both games,

Yes, VC2 is part of the reasons I'm getting a Vita as well. Figured it would play better than on PSP because of the dual sticks (like PS3 !)

[QUOTE=Angry Fork;34900868]Might be a silly question but is there anything to do if you don't have games? Like is there some kind of app store or a system where the community can make apps and various things and put it on the Vita. I'm getting this eventually but I just want to know in case I can't afford a lot of games.[/QUOTE]

It's going to support "Free to Play" games (which usually start free but can cost more than retail in the end), but I wouldn't expect anything like the iOS/Android app stores where you have lots of super cheap/free games as deals.

Maybe when the Playstation Suite stuff comes out, but Sony hasn't said much more on that...

Any reports of gamestops starting to sell the games tomorrow?

SF X T on Vita supposed to have all the same characters and launch the same day as the console version?

Question: will Vita have its own app for the psn store where i can download all my previous purchases or will i have to connect to a ps3?

[QUOTE=zoner;34901714]SF X T on Vita supposed to have all the same characters and launch the same day as the console version?[/QUOTE]
Probably same characters as the PS3, since the crossplay option will be there, but the release date is TBA.

You can download it all directly to the Vita.

They've been selling them since Friday in Toronto.

Since PSN is part of SEN now, you can take a look at [url]www.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com[/url] to see the available widgets/apps. Some of them have already made it to PS3. Hoping to see them on Vita as well ! (I'm subscribed to Hulu Plus for example).

How does that work? If the PSP didn't have dual sticks, how would VCII be compatible with dual?

Also, this reminds me of how much I want this:

You map the d-pad/face buttons to the right stick. You can do it for all PSP games.

1 week out and Sony is being so quiet...

The Vita allows you to map the digital inputs from the PSP's face buttons or D-Pad to the Vita's right analog stick.

So, what case is everyone getting? I'm trying to nail down my decision.

[QUOTE=patsu;34901406]How is VC 2 ? I really liked VC 1 and was pretty mad that VC 2 went to PSP.[/QUOTE]

Like someone else said, the story and the characters are a far cry from Valkyria Chronicles. There also isn't a huge variety of maps so expect to see the same locations frequently. But the game has tons of missions (some of the main missions are really annoying) and I played VC2 for much longer than I played VC1. Overall, I'd rate it an 8.

I'm really curious as to whether Unit 13 is native res or not. I haven't heard anything in the matter. I'd just like knowing that a native res somewhat graphics-intensive non-racer can even be done.

[QUOTE=Deadly Cyclone;34902141]See I really like this one. I wonder how easy it would be to make a custom design for the cover slot though.[/QUOTE]

Logitech had a similar case for the PSP and they eventually released a template for it so people could make their own designs. I wonder if PDP will do the same

Unit 13 looks like it's gonna be one of those great co-op games that I'm definitely picking up.

I'm pretty sure native res games are possible, and will come, but these are all launch games that were probably put together pretty quickly Just look at PS3 games at the beginning of its life cycle and compare them to now.

VC2 is an amazing game with just one down side. A certain character's laughter. You will know what I mean once you start playing it. But you can't go wrong with the game, it was a lot of fun. Don't expect as deep of a story as the first tho

Of course it's possible to have native res games. Still, it's dissapointing to know the flagship titles are not. But i'm sure they will look better in motion on the screen itself. About the PS3 launch titles, pretty sure most if not all of them were native 720p and a couple of them even 1080p.
