In that video that was posted earlier, the touch controls looked optional...except maybe the choking people for info.

If that's the case, then I guess I'll pick up the Vita version. Other than Peace Walker, is there anything that the Vita version might be missing? I don't mind ports, just not gimped ports :x

[The Insane Dufresne]

Holy shit! Target. I hope this isn't a mistake! And I also hope this isn't the big Vita game Patcher was talking about.

There are two listings for the game, a PS3 one and a Vita one. I hope this is true.

[RelentlessRolento]

Question about PS3/Vita transfers: Can I download Japanese Vita demos with my Japanese account on my PS3 then transfer them to my Vita with my US account, without ever having to sign into my Japanese account on my Vita?

Been wondering this for a while, though my guess is no.

[Synless]

Would be badass if they were cross play compatible too!

[PSY・S]

Whoops at that typo.

Been wondering this for a while, though my guess is no.

Just tried it. I can't. I wouldn't mind switching accounts if I didn't have to reset my wallpaper every time.

[lastflowers]

I would buy both.

NINJEDIT: Assuming it's nearly Smash-bros quality. If the game sucks...then I won't buy either.

[xKilltheMx]

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/TVnrx.png[IMG] Whoops at that typo.

FUCK. I hope this pans out as true. I was gonna grab PSASBR for PS3 but really wanted it on vita...PLEASE be true. I mean regardless I'm still gonna get the PS3 version.

[Figboy79]

If the game is good (which it's looking to be from journalist's impressions), and it supports save transferring between the Vita and PS3, I'd double dip on PBR in a heartbeat. The thought of being able to play some matches on the bus ride to work is just too awesome for me.

[theBishop]

Question about Unit 13. Is it good and what's the size of the game?

It's got great tactical shooter mechanics, strong social features, and fun (if limited) online coop.

Enemy AI is glaringly dumb, and there's no real story to speak of. Think of it as a a series of MW Spec Ops missions with the pacing of Rainbow6 Vegas and you're close.

The game is worth it right now as the only shooter of its kind on the platform. But don't be surprised if it looks poor by next year's standards.

My baby died last night....*sob* I was reading GAF and it corrupted and froze. Went to hard reset, it goes to the ps logo and then shutdown. Everytime. Tried the 30 sec hold and nothing.

*sigh* I miss her already. The way I used to rub her back when she needed attention....I'd gently play with her shoulder buttons. She'd get turned on so easy before. Now she's so cold.... *sniff*



Don't judge me.....

Me too. And then I thought "why the fuck is he posting this here!?"

It was in bad taste but then I am an old fuddy duddy.

GopherD, surely it's under warranty?

[Darknight]

What's the PSN update for tomorrow? And you can't display the trophies you earned on Vita games with this site http://us.playstation.com/mytrophies/ ?

Isn't that Retro gta like game coming out tomorrow for Vita? That's what I read around here anyways...

[darkside31337]

Still got new games coming out in Japan guys!

Guess D3 Vita made bank for the guys over at NIS. Good for those guys. Looking forward to playing this at some point next year probably :(

[FairXchange]

Wait, how long have I been out of the loop. PS All Stars has is coming to Vita?

So awesome, perfect game for the Vita. I'll definitely be copping.

[lowrider007]

Yeah my heart actually skipped a beat too when I started reading, not sure it was a wise post tbh.

I really hope ALL Stars is doming to vita, wouldn't of really bought it on the PS3 but feel could suit the handheld better.

[chickdigger802]

vita is missing 2 triggers and pressure sensitive face buttons, so stuff will be different, but not necessary gimped.

Not sure how a 4 player party game is perfect for vita... and I don't think it's announced just yet. Probably some gimped port in 2013 is my guess.

You can play it just fine over wifi/ad-hoc. Its pretty perfect for the vita i agree, specially if it has cross play between the console and the handheld.

[Figboy79]

Why would PBR Vita be gimped?

I can see the visuals being scaled in some capacity for performance, but the game so far doesn't seembto be beyond the Vita's capabilities, especially when games like wipEout 2048 is on the machine, looking and running as well as it is.

I don't see how being a 4 player party game would be a problem. If you are away from friends, then you use online, and chat with the mic. If you are with friends that actually have Vitas as well, you each get a screen, and can if there are more than 4 of you, you pass the Vita like you'd hand over the controller/arcade stick, tournament style.

You could also use the Vita version as a single player unlock version when you are away from home, and unlock crap on the go, then sync your saves with your PS3 for home play. I think PBR Vita is an excellent idea.

I don't get it. People complain that Vita lacks games, then when games are announced, they are either dismissed as somehow not being "portable friendly" or ports. I have no problems with ports, spin-offs, or original IPs, as long as the games are good, and coming to the Vita. There are already a significant amount of titles of each of the above already hitting this year, and E3 promises more. I'm a happy and optimistic Vita owner.

[Kafel]

I sure hope PBR is not the "big unannounced game for Vita" Pachter was talking about.

But it could be fun I guess.

[ReaperXL07]

As much as I am looking forward to Battle Allstars, I somehow reallly doubt that Pachter gives a crap about it. I could be wrong, I just don't see it being something he would be excited for, from a supporting the Vita aspect, or a personal aspect.

Only a couple weeks though, so we will know soon.

Whenever you get it, can you post impressions on the Suede jacket? Thanks!

Are the only 16Gb and 32GB memory cards the only ones worth buying? Don't plan on buying games digitally unless they are small PSN games. So I don't think I'll be needing a ton of space but don't want to end up having to constantly delete things either.

With E3 coming up and Gravity Rush releasing after that I'll be able to decide if I'll pull the trigger on a purchase or not.

8gb is perfectly reasonable if you aren't buying digitally. Most PSN only games for the Vita aren't even 500mb.

honestly if your going retail only, then an 8 gig can last you a good while, a 16 GB would be helpful "just in case" but retail games do not take up much space.

16, and 32 are more important imo when you plan on getting PSP games, PS1 games (at some point), and downloading other digital goods like movies, music, etc.

I think it depends on whether or not you intend to buy PSP games or store media on the device. If you want to have video content and some PSP games, then I would recommend the 16 GB card.

[yencid]

I would think Patcher would be excited for something bigger then PBR, not saying pbr isnt but im not sure if patcher would really be excited for it.

[ReaperXL07]

I agree, Allstars is not a game thats going to push Vitas on it's own so he won't be interested in it from that point of view, that grin and laugh makes it seem like something that he actually wants to play...and again I don't think thats the case here as he's never come off to me as someone who's going to care about a Playstation mascot fighter.

I'm slightly hoping for something TES, or Fallout related, but who knows at this point. I refuse to get my hopes up for something big until it's shown at E3 on stage.

[Effect]

Thanks. The 8gb seems to be more what I'd be needing then. If I wanted to play PS1 games there is always the PS3. There was never any PSP games I was really all that interested in playing either so no concern there.

[Eusis]

They could probably try making the Elder Scrolls spin-off again. I imagine for the PSP it died due to technical constraints (and the unavoidable issue of being a first person game with only one analog), but those issues should be gone on the Vita.

[Figboy79]

I'm going to upgrade to a 16 gig card, because i've been downloading PSP games like mad, and 8 gigs just isn't enough for that. the 32 gig card is still too much for me, but the 16 is like $49 bucks on amazon, i think i saw.

[patsu]

Crap... got addicted to P3P on Vita. >_<
I'm supposed to be working damn it.

Are the other PSP Persona games as good as the third one ?

[Afrikan]

fuck. I really thought a baby died for a moment there.

same here, I thought it was a post like "babied died, but Vita is making me feel better" :o

but I know his feel though.... I call my VIta my baby...my PS3, my baby...and my Bimmer, my baby.

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Lttp on this game Orgarhythm looks like an interesting concept. Looking forward to see more on it.

Yep. Destructoid did a short preview : http://www.destructoid.com/preview-q...m-227278.phtml

[Neifirst]

I finally watched that Sony preview episode with Pachter. Doesn't it seem at least possible that the Vita title he saw is either Fallout, Elder Scrolls, GTA, or Call of Duty-related? From memory, those are the only games that I recall him ever really getting excited about. I hope it's Fallout, but we'll see soon!

I would hope for GTA. They made it work on PSP so with Vita it should be no prob.

GTA: San Andreas stories?!?!? lol

I really crave something big and open world for Vita though.

[SLV]

Guys, i just got a Vita, how do i upgrade the firmware ? As it wont let me sign in otherwise, and i seam to be stuck in the starting menu !

CoD has already been announced. I wish it's Fallout, but more like Fallout 1 & 2.

Someone has a pic of the slide Sony showed when they talked about developers working on Vita ? R* was there iirc so it might be GTA.

[IonicSnake]

I think you should be able to skip the starting menu once it asks you to sign in and then go to settings and update the firmware.

[Murkas]

How is Shinobido? Reviews say it's not all that but from regular people who play it, they say it's kinda good.

I wouldn't mind getting it for cheap because I hear it's like Tenchu and I remember liking that game on PS1.

Anything more I should know?

Anyone upgrading memory cards want to sell their old one?

So we're supposedly getting a rumoured Firmware update today aren't we, one that lets us play PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe?

[Number45]

I asked Dylan Cuthbert about that yesterday, he said it's just being added to the store - so it'll be available with the store update. No new firmware.

Ah ok, no one seemed to no and had assumed it was through a firmware update.
I guess that means we will get atleast one Vita update on the Playstation Store this week instead of none, lol.

[orioto]

That's pretty lame we can only play psp versions of this kind of game on Vita, when there is a beautiful PS3 versions with hd assets waiting just there :(

[DeliciousDoc]

Shinobido is pretty fun yeah. I think to enjoy it you have to look beyond the narrative. I think good role play is necessary. those war supply numbers going up or down have to have meaning for you. As an action game it's OK. The story is OK (so far nothing mind blowing) I really enjoy it for the sandbox like aspect of manipulating factions from the shadows. Pretty close to my ideal game in concept.

Unit 13 online pass query;

My friend is selling me a copy of Unit 13 but with the pass used. I doubt i'll ever play co-op tbh, what else will I miss out on if I don't buy one?

You won't have access to all of the online co-op features, but as long as you're buying it at a discount it's not a big deal. I've only played online a few times, and it's kinda fun but it's poorly designed. I had a hard time setting up matches with people I know, and when playing through matchmaking it sends you back to the main menu at the end of each match. I'd say it's perfectly fine as a single player game, and I don't think the online pass locks out leaderboards, just online co-op.
